Board Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends that you vote in favor of the above Proposals, which are described in the attached proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”).
Record Date
Shareholders of record at the close of business on April 14, 2025 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to notice of 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).
Required Vote and Voting Procedures
Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the “Companies Law”), each of Proposals 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7 to be presented at the Meeting, described hereinafter, require a Simple Majority (as defined in the Proxy Statement herein) of votes in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting.
Each of Proposals 1 and 5 to be presented at the Meeting requires a Special Majority (as defined in the Proxy Statement herein), of votes in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting.
How You Can Vote
A form of proxy for use at the Meeting is attached to the Proxy Statement, together with a return envelope, will be sent to holders of the Company’s ordinary shares, no par value each (the “Ordinary Shares”). By appointing “proxies,” shareholders may vote at the Meeting regardless of whether they attend in person. If a properly executed proxy in the attached form is received by the Company at least four (4) hours prior to the Meeting, all of the Ordinary Shares represented by the proxy shall be voted as indicated on the form. 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” all of the proposed resolutions to be presented at the Meeting for which the Board recommends a vote “FOR”.
Shareholders may revoke their proxies or voting instruction form (as applicable) in accordance with Section 9 of the Israeli Companies Regulations (Voting in Writing and Position Statements), 5766-2005 by filing with the Company a written notice of revocation or duly executed proxy or voting instruction form (as applicable) bearing a later date and time.
Shareholders of Record
If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, you are considered, with respect to those shares, 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 Yafit Tehila, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (yafit@inspirao2.com), and Joe Hayon, the President and a director of the Company (joe@inspirao2.com), or to vote in person at the Meeting.
Beneficial Owners
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 holder of shares in “street name” 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 to be 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. You may also attend the Meeting. Since a holder of shares in “street name” 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 (proposals 1 to 7), which we believe are considered as non-routine under applicable rules; and therefore, 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 count for all proposals.
