Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On December 6, 2023, certain of the Company’s stockholders representing more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding share capital as of November 30, 2023 voted by written consent to reelect Ms. Inbal Kreiss and elect Mr. Jackson Schneider and Ms. Ronit Rubin as Class II directors of the Company, with a term of office for each to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of the stockholders after their election and until their successors are duly elected and qualified.
Each of Ms. Kreis, Mr. Schneider and Ms. Rubin shall be compensated for their services as a director pursuant to compensation arrangements as approved from time to time by the Board, which for Ms. Kreis and Ms. Rubin shall currently include but is not be limited to a quarterly fee of $4,000 and an additional quarterly fee in the amount of $2,000 payable to a director for each committee on which such director serves. In addition, the Company will recommend that the Board grant Ms. Rubin options to purchase a total of 30,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price per share equal to $3.00 per share, vesting over a period of three years.
In light of the special role and contributions that Mr. Schneider is expected to make to the operation of the Company, a separate compensation arrangement shall be provided to Mr. Schneider that shall currently include but not be limited to an annual fee of $80,000, which will be paid on a monthly basis in equal installments, and that the Company will recommend that the Board grant Mr. Schneider options to purchase a total of 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price per share equal to $3.00 per share, vesting over a period of three years and such other terms as provided in an agreement signed between Mr. Schneider and the Company.
