This Proxy Statement is furnished to the holders of our ordinary shares, NIS 0.02 nominal value (“Ordinary Shares”), in connection with the solicitation by our Board of Directors (“Board”) of proxies for use at a Special General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”), or at any adjournment thereof, pursuant to the accompanying Notice of a Special General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Notice”). The Meeting will be held on Tuesday, January 23, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. (Israel time), at the offices of our Israeli counsel, Gornitzky & Co., located at 20 HaHarash Street, Tel Aviv, 6761310 Israel.

The agenda of the Meeting will be as follows:

If any other matters properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, the persons designated as proxies intend to vote in accordance with their judgment on such matters.
You may elect to vote your Ordinary Shares once, either by attending the Meeting in person or by a duly executed proxy as detailed below.
A form of proxy for use at the Meeting and a return envelope for the proxy are enclosed. You may revoke the authority granted by your execution of proxies at any time before the exercise thereof by filing with us a written notice of revocation or duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by voting in person at the Meeting. Proxies must be received no later than forty-eight (48) hours prior to the time fixed for the Meeting. On all matters considered at the Meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as neither a vote “for” nor “against” the matter, although they will be counted in determining whether a quorum is present.
Proxies for use at the Meeting are being solicited by our Board. Only shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 26, 2023 (the “Record Date”), will be entitled to vote at the Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. Proxy cards will be mailed to shareholders on or about December 29, 2023, and proxies will be solicited chiefly by mail. However, certain of our officers, directors, employees and agents, none of whom will receive additional compensation in connection therewith, may solicit proxies by telephone, telegram or other personal contact.

If your Ordinary Shares are held in “street name” meaning you are a beneficial owner with your shares held through a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, you will receive instructions from your bank, brokerage firm or nominee, who is the holder of record of your shares. You must follow the instructions of the holder of record in order for your shares to be voted.
Position Statements

OUTSTANDING VOTING SECURITIES AND QUORUM
On December 18, 2023, we had 7,188,782 outstanding Ordinary Shares, each of which is entitled to one vote upon each of the matters to be presented at the Meeting. Two or more shareholders holding Ordinary Shares conferring in the aggregate at least 25% of the voting power, present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote, will constitute a quorum at the Meeting. If within an hour from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the Meeting shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week, at the same time and place, or to such day and at such time and place as the Chairman may determine with the consent of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person by proxy and voting on the question of adjournment. No business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting except business which might lawfully have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. At such adjourned meeting, any shareholder present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum.
ITEM 1 — APPROVAL OF AN INCREASE OF SHARE CAPITAL AND AMEND COMPANY’S SECOND AMEDNDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
The Board believes that increasing the Company’s registered share capital would afford the Company greater flexibility in raising additional funds, use its share capital as currency for potential transactions and incentivize its employees. Accordingly, the Board resolved in its December 6, 2023 meeting to put to the shareholders vote a proposal to increase the Company’s authorized share capital by NIS 3,500,000 (the “Increase of Share Capital”). Thus, after giving effect to the Increase of Share Capital, the authorized share capital of the Company will be NIS 4,000,000 divided into 200,000,000 Ordinary Shares, par value NIS 0.02 each. If approved, the Increase of Share Capital will be reflected in an amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Association of the Company (the “Articles”).
The Board of Directors believes that the increase to the Company’s authorized share capital is appropriate and in the best interest of the Company’s shareholders.
Required Approval
The affirmative vote of a majority of the Ordinary Shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter is required for the approval of the Increase of Share Capital and the amendment of the Current Articles of the Company as set forth in the proposed Amended Articles attached hereto as Exhibit A.
Proposed Resolutions
It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:
“RESOLVED, to approve the increase of the Company’s share capital by NIS 3,500,000, from NIS 500,000 to NIS 4,000,000, divided into 200,000,000 Ordinary Shares, par value NIS 0.02 each and to amend Article 5(b) to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Association as follows (changes are marked):
“The share capital
of the Company shall be NIS 4,000,000500,000,
divided into 200,000,00025,000,000 Ordinary
Shares, par value NIS 0.02 each (the “Shares”).””
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that the shareholders vote FOR the above proposal.

ITEM 2 — OTHER BUSINESS
Management knows of no other business to be transacted at the Meeting, other than as set forth in the Notice. However, if any other matters are properly presented to the Meeting, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy will vote upon such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

Under the Companies Law, only shareholders who hold at least 1% of the Company’s outstanding voting rights are entitled to request that the Board include a proposal in a future shareholders meeting, provided that such proposal is appropriate for consideration by shareholders at such meeting (a “Proposal Request”). Such shareholders may present proposals for consideration at the Meeting by submitting their proposals to the Company no later than December 26, 2023. If our Board determines that a shareholder proposal has been duly and timely received and is appropriate, we will publish a revised agenda in the manner set forth in the proxy statement. In order for the Board to consider a Proposal Request and whether to include the matter stated therein in the agenda of the Meeting, notice of the Proposal Request must be timely delivered under any applicable law and stock exchange rules and regulations and the Proposal Request must comply with any applicable law and stock exchange rules and regulations. The Proposal Request must be made in English and in writing, signed by all of the Proposing Shareholder(s) making such request, delivered, either in person or by certified mail, postage prepaid, and received by the CEO.
