Compensation Policy for Company’s Office Holders
Dated: January 2024, as amended in December 2025
Introduction
| 1.1 | Pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Law, 5759-1999 (hereafter – “the Companies Law”), on September 5th, 2023 and September 15th, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors and the General Meeting of Shareholders, respectively, approved a compensation policy (hereafter – the “Policy”) with respect to the terms of service and / or employment of Company’s office holders (as defined below) (hereafter - the “office holders”), after discussing and considering the recommendations of the Company’s Compensation Committee regarding this matter. |
| 1.2 | The provisions of the Policy shall be subject to the provisions of any cogent law applicable to the Company and its office holders in any territory. |
| 1.3 | The underlying principles and purposes of the Policy are as follows: (a) promoting the Company’s goals, its work plan and its policy for the long-term; (b) compensating and providing incentives to office holders, while considering the risks that the Company’s activities involve; (c) adjusting the compensation package to the size of the Company and the nature and scope of its activities; (d) creating incentives that are suitable to Company’s office holders by compensating those entitled for compensation under the Policy in accordance with their positions, areas of responsibility and contribution to the development of the Company’s business, the promotion of its targets and the maximization of profits in the short and long-term, taking into account, among other things, the need to recruit and retain qualified, highly-skilled officers in a global and competitive market; and (e) adjusting the compensation of office holders to the contribution of the office holder to the achievement of the Company’s goals. |
| 1.4 | This Policy is a multi-annual policy that will be effective for a period of five (5) years (and then consecutive periods of three (3) each) from the date of its approval. This policy shall be brought forward for re-approval by the Company’s Compensation Committee, the Company’s Board of Directors and the general meeting of its shareholders after five (5) years have elapsed since the date of approval thereof and so forth, unless any changes need to be made to the Policy in accordance with the law and/or in accordance with the Company’s needs. |
| 1.5 | Without derogating from the provisions set out in Section 1.4 above, the Company’s Compensation Committee and Board of Directors shall check, from time to time, whether the compensation that is granted under this policy, does, indeed, comply with the terms of this policy and the parameters set therein for each Company office holder. |
| 1.6 | This Policy is based, among other things, on the Company’s assessments as to the competitive environment in which it operates and the challenge it faces in recruiting and retaining high-quality officers in such an environment; it is also based on employment terms generally accepted in public companies operating in the Company’s area of activity and on existing employment agreements between the Company and its office holder, which – in order to remove any doubt – this policy cannot change and does not create a commitment between the company and its office holders. |
| 1.7 | For the avoidance of doubt, any compensation of office holders (as defined below), which are controlling shareholders (as the meaning of “control” is defined in the Companies Law- 5759-1999) (the “Companies Law”), may require additional approvals under applicable law. |
