On January 21, 2026, the Company received a notice of non-compliance (the “Notice”) from the staff of the NYSE American Market indicating that the Company is currently noncompliant with the audit committee composition requirements set forth in Section 803(B)(2)(a) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”), since the Company’s audit committee is no longer comprised of at least three independent members, as a result of the recent resignation of an independent director serving on the audit committee, as previously announced through a report on Form 6-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 16, 2026. Pursuant to Section 803B(6)(b) of the Company Guide, the Company has until the earlier of its next annual meeting of shareholders or January 14, 2027 (or, if the next annual meeting is held before July 13, 2026, until July 13, 2026) to regain compliance with the audit committee composition requirements.

PROXY STATEMENT
FOR SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

Throughout this Proxy Statement, we use terms such as “Can-Fite”, “we”, “us”, “our” and the “Company” to refer to Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. and terms such as “you” and “your” to refer to our shareholders and ADS holders.
Agenda Items
The agenda of the special meeting will be as follows:
| 1. | To elect Mr. Ilan Tamir to our Board of Directors as an external director for a three-year term ending March 3, 2029. |
| 2. | To approve the grant of options to each of the Company’s directors, excluding Dr. Pnina Fishman. |

We currently are unaware of any other matters that may be raised at the special meeting. Should any other matters be properly raised at the special meeting, the persons designated as proxies shall vote according to their own judgment on those matters.
Board Recommendation
Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” each of the proposals on the agenda.
Who Can Vote
Only shareholders and ADS holders at the close of business on February 5, 2026, shall be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the special meeting.
How You Can Vote
You can vote your ordinary shares by attending the annual meeting. If you do not plan to attend the special meeting, the method of voting will differ for shares held as a record holder, shares held in “street name” (through a Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, or TASE, member) and shares underlying ADSs that you hold. Record holders of shares will receive proxy cards. Holders of shares in “street name” through a TASE member will also vote via a proxy card, but through a different procedure (as described below). Holders of ADSs (whether registered in their name or in “street name”) will receive voting instruction cards in order to instruct their banks, brokers or other nominees on how to vote.
2
Shareholders of Record
If you are a shareholder of record, you can submit your vote by completing, signing and submitting a proxy card, which has been published at www.magna.isa.gov.il and www.maya.tase.co.il and which will be accessible at the “Investor Information” portion of our website, as described below under “Shareholder Meetings”.
Please follow the instructions on the proxy card.
Shareholders Holding in “Street Name” through the TASE
If you hold ordinary shares in “street name,” that is, through a bank, broker or other nominee that is admitted as a member of the TASE, your shares will only be voted if you provide instructions to the bank, broker or other nominee as to how to vote, or if you attend the special meeting in person.
If voting by mail, you must sign and date a proxy card in the form filed by us on MAGNA on January 27, 2026 and attach to it a certificate signed by the TASE Clearing House member through which the shares are held, which complies with the Israel Companies Regulations (Proof of Ownership for Voting in General Meetings)-2000 as proof of ownership of the shares on the Record Date, and return the proxy card, along with the proof of ownership certificate, to us, as described in the instructions available on MAGNA.
If you choose to attend the special meeting (where ballots will be provided), you must bring the proof of ownership certificate from the TASE’s Clearing House member through which the shares are held, indicating that you were the beneficial owner of the shares on the Record Date.
Holders of ADSs
Under the terms of the Deposit Agreement between the Company, The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary, or BNY Mellon, and the holders of our ADSs, BNY Mellon shall endeavor (insofar as is practicable) to vote or cause to be voted the number of shares represented by ADSs in accordance with the instructions provided by the holders of ADSs to BNY Mellon. For ADSs that are held in “street name”, through a bank, broker or other nominee, the voting process will be based on the underlying beneficial holder of the ADSs directing the bank, broker or other nominee to arrange for BNY Mellon to vote the ordinary shares represented by the ADSs in accordance with the beneficial holder’s voting instructions. If no instructions are received by BNY Mellon from any holder of ADSs (whether held directly by a beneficial holder or in “street name”) with respect to any of the shares represented by the ADSs on or before the date established by BNY Mellon for such purpose, BNY Mellon shall not vote or attempt to vote the shares represented by such ADSs.
Multiple Record Shareholders or Accounts
You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this document and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, shareholders who hold ADSs in more than one brokerage account will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which ADSs are held. Shareholders of record whose shares are registered in more than one name will receive more than one proxy card. You should complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card you receive.
Our Board of Directors urges you to vote your shares so that they will be counted at the special meeting or at any postponements or adjournments of the special meeting.
Solicitation of Proxies
By appointing “proxies”, shareholders and ADS holders may vote at the special meeting whether or not they attend. If a properly executed proxy in the attached form is received by us at least 48 hours prior to the special meeting (and received by BNY Mellon no later than the date indicated on the voting instruction card, in the case of ADS holders), all of the shares represented by the proxy shall be voted as indicated on the form or, if no preference is noted, shall be voted in favor of the matter described above, and in such manner as the holder of the proxy may determine with respect to any other business as may come before the special meeting or any adjournment thereof. Shareholders and ADS holders may revoke their proxies at any time before the deadline for receipt of proxies by filing with us (in the case of holders of ordinary shares) or with BNY Mellon (in the case of holders of ADSs), a written notice of revocation or duly executed proxy bearing a later date.
3
Proxies are being distributed to shareholders and ADS holders on or about February 5, 2026. Certain officers, directors, employees, and agents of ours, none of whom will receive additional compensation therefore, may solicit proxies by telephone, emails, or other personal contact. We will bear the cost for the solicitation of the proxies, including postage, printing, and handling, and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding material to beneficial owners of shares and ADSs.
To the extent you would like to submit a position statement with respect to any of the proposals described in this proxy statement pursuant to the Companies Law, you may do so by delivery of appropriate notice to our offices (Attention: Chief Financial Officer) located at 26 Ben Gurion Street, Ramat Gan, Israel, not later than ten days before the convening of the special meeting (i.e., Sunday, February 22, 2026). Response of the Board of Directors to the position statement may be submitted not later than five days before the convening of the special meeting (i.e., Thursday, February 26, 2026).
Quorum
At the close of business on January 26, 2026, we had outstanding 2,618,424 ordinary shares. Each ordinary share (including ordinary shares represented by ADSs) outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date is entitled to one vote upon each of the matters to be voted on at the special meeting.
Under our articles of association, the annual meeting will be properly convened if at least two shareholders attend the meeting in person or sign and return proxies, provided that they hold shares representing at least 25% of our voting power. If such quorum is not present within half an hour from the time scheduled for the meeting, the meeting will be adjourned for one week (to the same day, time and place), or to later date if so specified in the notice of the meeting. At the reconvened meeting, if there is no quorum within half an hour from the time scheduled for the meeting, any number of our shareholders present in person or by proxy shall constitute a lawful quorum.
Vote Required for Each Proposal
Proposal 2, to be presented at the special general meeting, requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the voting power represented and voting on the proposal, either in person or by proxy, in order for it to be approved.
The approval of Proposals 1 and 3 is subject to the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented and voting on such proposal in person or by proxy. In addition, the shareholders’ approval must either include at least a majority of the ordinary shares voted by shareholders who are not controlling shareholders nor are they shareholders who have a personal interest in the approval of the proposal (excluding a personal interest that is not related to a relationship with the controlling shareholders), or the total ordinary shares of non-controlling shareholders and non-interested shareholders voted against the proposal must not represent more than 2% of the outstanding ordinary shares.
Under the Companies Law, in general, you will be deemed to be a controlling shareholder if you have the power to direct our activities, otherwise than by reason of being a director or other office holder of ours, if you hold 50% or more of the voting rights in our Company or have the right to appoint the majority of the directors of the Company or its chief executive officer, and you are deemed to have a personal interest if any member of your immediate family or their spouse has a personal interest in the adoption of the proposal. In addition, you are deemed to have a personal interest if a company, other than Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd, that is affiliated to you has a personal interest in the adoption of the proposal. Such company is a company in which you or a member of your immediate family serves as a director or chief executive officer, has the right to appoint a director or the chief executive officer, or owns 5% or more of the outstanding shares. However, you are not deemed to have a personal interest int he adoption of the proposal if your interest in such proposal arises solely from your ownership of our shares, or to a matter that is not related to a relationship with a controlling shareholder.
4
According to the Companies Regulations (exemptions for companies whose securities are listed for trading on a stock exchange outside of Israel) 5760-2000 (the “Exemption Regulations for Companies Listed Abroad”), by signing and submitting the attached Proxy Card, you as a shareholder declare and approve that you have no personal interest in the adoption of any of the Proposals 1 and 3, except if you notified the Company of such in writing. If you believe that you have a personal interest in any of the Proposals 1 and 3, and you wish to inform the Company of such personal interest, you should submit such information in advance of voting to the Company at its registered offices at Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd., 26 Ben Gurion Street, Ramat Gan, Israel to the attention of the Chief Financial Officer.
If you provide specific instructions (mark boxes) with regard to certain proposals, your shares will be voted as you instruct. If you sign and return your proxy card or voting instruction form without giving specific instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our Board of Directors. The proxy holders will vote in their discretion on any other matters that properly come before the meeting.
If you are a shareholder of record and do not return your proxy card, your shares will not be voted. If you hold shares (or ADSs representing shares) beneficially in a street name, your shares will also not be voted at the meeting if you do not return your proxy card or voting instruction card to instruct your broker or BNY Mellon how to vote. For all proposals, a broker (and BNY Mellon) may only vote in accordance with instructions from a beneficial owner of shares or ADSs.

Further, an external director can be removed from office only under very limited circumstances. In addition, under the Companies Law, all of the external directors must serve on our audit committee and compensation committee (including one external director serving as the chair of our audit committee and as the chair of our compensation committee), and at least one external director must serve on each other committee of our board of directors. If elected as an external director, Ilan Tamir will serve as a member of our audit committee and compensation committee.
To qualify as an external director, an individual must meet various independence requirements, including that such individual may not have, and may not have had at any time during the previous two years, any “affiliation” (as defined in the Companies Law) with the company or with certain of its affiliates. In addition, No individual may serve as an external director if the individual’s position or other activities create or may create a conflict of interest with his or her role as an external director.

Mr. Ilan Tamir’s candidacy is to serve in lieu of Mr. Yaakov Goldman, who, on January 14, 2026 notified the Company of his resignation for personal reasons and not due to any disagreement with the Company or any matter relating to its operations. If elected as an external director, Ilan Tamir will serve as a member of our audit committee and compensation committee.
Biographical information concerning Mr. Tamir is set forth below.
Ilan Tamir. Ilan Tamir has served as Chief Financial Officer of Serverfarm Ltd. since 2025. He previously served as Special Situations CFO on behalf of Viola (2013-2024), including as interim CEO and CFO of Behalf (2022-2023), where he led the realization of assets valued at tens of millions of dollars and managed creditor and shareholder distributions, and as interim CEO and CFO and a board member of a London and Tel Aviv-listed company (2019-2021), where he led an asset sale and creditor debt settlement during a public restructuring. He also served as CFO of BRM Capital (1999-2004), managing the finances of a $250 million venture capital fund. Mr. Tamir holds a B.Sc. from the Technion and an M.B.A. from Tel Aviv University.

The compensation policy must be approved by the board of directors, after considering the recommendations of the compensation committee of the Company. The compensation policy must also be approved by the shareholders of the Company as prescribed in the Companies Law.
The compensation policy—or an amended version thereof—must be approved once again by the compensation committee, board of directors and shareholders every three years following the last adoption thereof.
Our existing compensation policy was approved by our shareholders on February 22, 2023. In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Law, our compensation committee reviewed and adopted a renewed written compensation policy for our executives, which sets forth our policy regarding the terms of office and employment of office holders as prescribed under the Companies Law. A copy of the proposed renewed Can-Fite Compensation Policy is attached as Annex A to the proxy statement. Our board of directors subsequently approved the renewed policy and recommended that it be adopted by the shareholders.
Proposed Resolution
It is proposed that at the special meeting the following resolution be adopted:
“RESOLVED, that the Can-Fite Compensation Policy in the renewed form attached as Annex A to the Proxy Statement, dated January 27, 2026, with respect to the special meeting, be, and hereby is, approved in all respects.”

good working relationships within the Company it is important to maintain reasonable and fair salary differences between the Company’s
management level (from the level of Vice President and above) and the other employees in it. However, it is important to compensate and
encourage the Company’s management in order to increase the Company’s profits, its success and achieve its business targets. As required
by law, the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors examined that the ratio between the service and employment conditions of each
one of the officers and the mean and median cost of employing the rest of the Company’s employees. At the time of formulating this
policy and its approval, the ratio between the employment cost of Officers and the average and median compensation cost in the Company
is: at the VP level |

| (e) | “Committee” shall mean the Compensation Committee of the Board. |
| (f) | “Covered Person” shall mean any person who is, or was at any time, during the Clawback Period, an Executive Officer of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, Covered Person may include a former Executive Officer that left the Company, retired or transitioned to an employee non-Executive Officer role (including after serving as an Executive Officer in an interim capacity) during the Clawback Period, and this Policy applies regardless of whether the Covered Person was at fault for an accounting error or other action that resulted in, or contributed to, the Accounting Restatement. |
| (g) | “Erroneously-Awarded Compensation” shall mean the amount of Clawback-Eligible Incentive Compensation that exceeds the amount of Incentive-Based Compensation that otherwise would have been Received had it been determined based on the restated amounts. This amount must be computed without regard to any taxes paid. |
| (h) | “Executive Officer” shall mean (i) the Company’s president, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer (or if there is no such accounting officer, the controller), any vice-president in charge of a principal business unit, division, or function (such as sales, administration, or finance), any other officer who performs a policy-making function, (ii) any other person (including an officer of the Company’s parent(s) or subsidiaries) who performs similar policy-making functions for the Company, or (iii) an “Officer” within the meaning set forth in the Companies Law. For the sake of clarity, at a minimum, all persons who would be executive officers pursuant to Rule 401(b) under Regulation S-K shall be deemed “Executive Officers”. |
| (i) | “Financial Reporting Measures” shall mean measures that are determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing the Company’s financial statements, and all other measures that are derived wholly or in part from such measures, including, without limitation, measures that are “non-GAAP financial measures” for purposes of Exchange Act Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K, as well other measures, metrics and ratios that are not non- GAAP measures. For purposes of this Policy, Financial Reporting Measures shall include stock price and total shareholder return (and any measures that are derived wholly or in part from stock price or total shareholder return). A Financial Reporting Measure need not be presented within the Company’s financial statements or included in a Company filing with the SEC. |
| (j) | “Incentive-Based Compensation” shall have the meaning set forth in Section III below. |
| (k) | “NYSE” shall mean The New York Stock Exchange. |
| (l) | “NYSE Effective Date” shall mean October 2, 2023. |

| (p) | “Restatement Date” shall mean the earlier of (i) the date the Board, a committee of the Board or the officers of the Company authorized to take such action if Board action is not required, concludes, or reasonably should have concluded, that the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement, or (ii) the date that a court, regulator or other legally authorized body directs the Company to prepare an Accounting Restatement. |

| ● | Non-equity incentive plan awards that are earned based, wholly or in part, based on satisfaction of a Financial Reporting Measure performance goal; | |
| ● | Bonuses paid from a “bonus pool,” the size of which is determined, wholly or in part, based on satisfaction of a Financial Reporting Measure performance goal; | |
| ● | Other cash awards based on satisfaction of a Financial Reporting Measure performance goal; | |
| ● | Restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance share units, stock options and SARs that are granted or become vested, wholly or in part, on satisfaction of a Financial Reporting Measure performance goal; and | |
| ● | Proceeds received upon the sale of shares acquired through an incentive plan that were granted or vested based, wholly or in part, on satisfaction of a Financial Reporting Measure performance goal. |
For purposes of this Policy, Incentive-Based Compensation excludes:
| ● | Any base salaries (except with respect to any salary increases earned, wholly or in part, based on satisfaction of a Financial Reporting Measure performance goal); | |
| ● | Bonuses paid solely at the discretion of the Committee or Board that are not paid from a “bonus pool” that is determined by satisfying a Financial Reporting Measure performance goal; | |
| ● | Bonuses paid solely upon satisfying one or more subjective standards and/or completion of a specified employment period; | |

-18-
| IV. | Determination and Calculation of Erroneously-Awarded Compensation |
In the event of an Accounting Restatement, the Committee shall promptly determine the amount of any Erroneously-Awarded Compensation for each Executive Officer in connection with such Accounting Restatement and shall promptly thereafter provide each Executive Officer with a written notice containing the amount of Erroneously-Awarded Compensation and a demand for repayment, forfeiture or return thereof, as applicable.
| (a) | Cash Awards. With respect to cash awards, the Erroneously-Awarded Compensation is the difference between the amount of the cash award (whether payable as a lump sum or over time) that was Received and the amount that should have been Received applying the restated Financial Reporting Measure. |
| (b) | Cash Awards Paid From Bonus Pools. With respect to cash awards paid from bonus pools, the Erroneously-Awarded Compensation is the pro rata portion of any deficiency that results from the aggregate bonus pool that is reduced based on applying the restated Financial Reporting Measure. |
| (c) | Equity Awards. With respect to equity awards, if the shares, options, SARs or other equity awards are still held at the time of recovery, the Erroneously-Awarded Compensation is the number of such securities Received in excess of the number that should have been received applying the restated Financial Reporting Measure (or the value in excess of that number). If the options, SARs or other equity awards have been exercised, vested, settled or otherwise converted into underlying shares, but the underlying shares have not been sold, the Erroneously-Awarded Compensation is the number of shares underlying the excess options or SARs (or the value thereof). If the underlying shares have already been sold, the Erroneously-Awarded Compensation is the higher of the value of the stock upon vesting, exercise or sale. |
| (d) | Compensation Based on Stock Price or Total Shareholder Return. For Incentive-Based Compensation based on (or derived from) stock price or total shareholder return, where the amount of Erroneously-Awarded Compensation is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from the information in the applicable Accounting Restatement, the amount shall be determined by the Committee based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Accounting Restatement on the stock price or total shareholder return upon which the Incentive-Based Compensation was Received (in which case, the Committee shall maintain documentation of such determination of that reasonable estimate and provide such documentation to the NYSE in accordance with applicable listing standards). |
| V. | Recovery of Erroneously-Awarded Compensation |
Once the Committee has determined the amount of Erroneously-Awarded Compensation recoverable from the applicable Covered Person, the Committee shall take all necessary actions to recover the Erroneously-Awarded Compensation. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Committee shall pursue the recovery of Erroneously-Awarded Compensation in accordance with the below:
| (a) | Cash Awards. With respect to cash awards, the Committee shall either (i) require the Covered Person to repay the Erroneously-Awarded Compensation in a lump sum in cash (or such property as the Committee agrees to accept with a value equal to such Erroneously-Awarded Compensation) reasonably promptly following the Restatement Date or (ii) if approved by the Committee, offer to enter into a Repayment Agreement. If the Covered Person accepts such offer and signs the Repayment Agreement within a reasonable time as determined by the Committee, the Company shall countersign such Repayment Agreement. |
-19-
| (b) | Unvested Equity Awards. With respect to those equity awards that have not yet vested, the Committee shall take all necessary action to cancel, or otherwise cause to be forfeited, the awards in the amount of the Erroneously-Awarded Compensation. |
| (c) | Vested Equity Awards. With respect to those equity awards that have vested and the underlying shares have not been sold, the Committee shall take all necessary action to cause the Covered Person to deliver and surrender the underlying shares in the amount of the Erroneously-Awarded Compensation. |
In the event that the Covered Person has sold the underlying shares, the Committee shall either (i) require the Covered Person to repay the Erroneously-Awarded Compensation in a lump sum in cash (or such property as the Committee agrees to accept with a value equal to such Erroneously-Awarded Compensation) reasonably promptly following the Restatement Date or (ii) if approved by the Committee, offer to enter into a Repayment Agreement. If the Covered Person accepts such offer and signs the Repayment Agreement within a reasonable time as determined by the Committee, the Company shall countersign such Repayment Agreement.
| (d) | Repayment Agreement. “Repayment Agreement” shall mean an agreement (in a form reasonably acceptable to the Committee) with the Covered Person for the repayment of the Erroneously-Awarded Compensation as promptly as possible without unreasonable economic hardship to the Covered Person. |
| (e) | Effect of Non-Repayment. To the extent that a Covered Person fails to repay all Erroneously-Awarded Compensation to the Company when due (as determined in accordance with this Policy), the Company shall, or shall cause one or more other members of the Company to, take all actions reasonable and appropriate to recover such Erroneously-Awarded Compensation from the applicable Covered Person. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its discretion, the applicable Covered Person shall be required to reimburse the Company for any and all expenses reasonably incurred (including legal fees) by the Company in recovering such Erroneously-Awarded Compensation in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. |
The Committee shall have broad discretion to determine the appropriate means of recovery of Erroneously-Awarded Compensation based on all applicable facts and circumstances and taking into account the time value of money and the cost to shareholders of delaying recovery. However, in no event may the Company accept an amount that is less than the amount of Erroneously-Awarded Compensation in satisfaction of a Covered Person’s obligations hereunder.
| VI. | Discretionary Recovery |
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to take action to recover Erroneously-Awarded Compensation if any one of the following conditions are met and the Committee determines that recovery would be impracticable:
| (i) | The direct expenses paid to a third party to assist in enforcing this Policy against a Covered Person would exceed the amount to be recovered, after the Company has made a reasonable attempt to recover the applicable Erroneously-Awarded Compensation, documented such attempts and provided such documentation to the NYSE; |
| (ii) | Recovery would violate home country law where that law was adopted prior to November 28, 2022, provided that, before determining that it would be impracticable to recover any amount of Erroneously-Awarded Compensation based on violation of home country law, the Company has obtained an opinion of home country counsel, acceptable to the NYSE, that recovery would result in such a violation and a copy of the opinion is provided to the NYSE; or |
-20-
| (iii) | Recovery would likely cause an otherwise tax-qualified retirement plan, under which benefits are broadly available to employees of the Company, to fail to meet the requirements of 26 U.S.C. 401(a)(13) or 26 U.S.C. 411(a) and regulations thereunder. |
| VII. | Reporting and Disclosure Requirements |
The Company shall file all disclosures with respect to this Policy in accordance with the requirements of the federal securities laws, including the disclosure required by the applicable filings required to be made with the SEC.
| VIII. | Effective Date |
This Policy shall apply to any Incentive-Based Compensation Received on or after the NYSE Effective Date.
| IX. | No Indemnification |
The Company shall not indemnify any Covered Person against the loss of Erroneously-Awarded Compensation and shall not pay, or reimburse any Covered Persons for premiums, for any insurance policy to fund such Covered Person’s potential recovery obligations.
| X. | Administration |
The Committee has the sole discretion to administer this Policy and ensure compliance with the NYSE Rules and any other applicable law, regulation, rule or interpretation of the SEC or the NYSE promulgated or issued in connection therewith. Actions of the Committee pursuant to this Policy shall be taken by the vote of a majority of its members. The Committee shall, subject to the provisions of this Policy, make such determinations and interpretations and take such actions as it deems necessary, appropriate or advisable. All determinations and interpretations made by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive.
| XI. | Amendment; Termination |
The Committee may amend this Policy from time to time in its discretion and shall amend this Policy as it deems necessary, including as and when it determines that it is legally required by any federal securities laws, SEC rule, the Companies Law or the rules of any national securities exchange or national securities association on which the Company’s securities are then listed. The Committee may terminate this Policy at any time. Notwithstanding anything in this Section XI to the contrary, no amendment or termination of this Policy shall be effective if such amendment or termination would (after taking into account any actions taken by the Company contemporaneously with such amendment or termination) cause the Company to violate any federal securities laws, SEC rule, the Companies Law or the rules of any national securities exchange or national securities association on which the Company’s securities are then listed.
| XII. | Other Recoupment Rights; No Additional Payments |
The Committee intends that this Policy will be applied to the fullest extent of the law. The Committee may require that any employment agreement, equity award agreement or any other agreement entered into on or after the Adoption Date shall, as a condition to the grant of any benefit thereunder, require a Covered Person to agree to abide by the terms of this Policy. Any right of recoupment under this Policy is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights under applicable law, regulation or rule or pursuant to any similar policy in any employment agreement, equity plan, compensation policy, equity award agreement or similar arrangement and any other legal remedies available to the Company. However, this Policy shall not provide for recovery of Incentive-Based Compensation that the Company has already recovered pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or other recovery obligations.
| XIII. | Successors |
This Policy shall be binding and enforceable against all Covered Persons and their beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives.
