Recommendation of the Proposing Shareholder

The Proposing Shareholder recommend a vote FOR the proposal set forth in this Proxy Statement.

Who Can Vote

You are entitled to notice of, and to vote in person or by proxy at, the Meeting, if you are a holder of record of the Company’s ordinary shares as of the close of business on November 1, 2023. You are also entitled to notice of the Meeting and to vote at the Meeting if you held ordinary shares through a bank, broker or other nominee that is one of our shareholders of record at the close of business on November 1, 2023, or which appeared in the participant listing of a securities depository on that date. See below “How You Can Vote.”

How You Can Vote

Quorum

Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum. Broker non-votes occur when brokers that hold their customers’ shares in street name sign and submit proxies for such shares and vote such shares on some matters but not on others. This occurs when brokers have not received any instructions from their customers, in which case the brokers, as the holders of record, are permitted to vote on “routine” matters, but not on non-routine matters.

Unsigned or unreturned proxies, including those not returned by banks, brokers, or other record holders, will not be counted for quorum or voting purposes.

Vote Required for Approval of the Proposals

Pursuant to the Companies Law, each of proposals 1 and 2 described hereinafter requires the affirmative vote of shareholders present at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, and holding Ordinary Shares of the Company amounting in the aggregate to at least a majority of the votes actually cast by shareholders with respect to such proposal (a “Simple Majority”).

To our knowledge, based on the Company’s most recent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Company has 5,849,216 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.

Each ordinary share entitles the holder to one vote.

In tabulating the voting results for the proposal, shares that constitute broker non-votes and abstentions are not considered votes cast on the proposal, and will have no effect on the vote. Unsigned or unreturned proxies, including those not returned by banks, brokers, or other record holders, will not be counted for voting purposes. 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 to count towards the vote tally for the proposal.

Cost of Soliciting Votes for the Meeting

The original solicitation of proxies by mail and e-mail may be further supplemented by solicitation by telephone, mail, e-mail and other means by certain of our officers, directors and employees (who will not receive additional compensation for these services) as well as by MacKenzie Partners, the external proxy solicitor we have engaged for this purpose. We will bear the cost of external solicitors and of the solicitation of the proxy card and voting instruction form, including postage, printing and handling, and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding material to beneficial owners. However, it should be clarified that we intend to seek full reimbursement from the Company and/or the current serving members of the Board for all of our expenses in accordance with the provisions of Section 64(b) of the Companies Law.

If you have questions about this Proxy Statement or the Meeting, please contact MacKenzie Partners, our proxy solicitor, by telephone toll-free at 1-800-322-2885 or +1-212-929-5500, or by email at proxy@mackenziepartners.com.

Background and Reasons of the Meeting

Section 63(b) of the Companies Law provides that the board of directors of a company will convene an Extraordinary general meeting at the demand of any shareholder(s) holding at least 5.0% of the voting rights of such company, within 21 days following the demand. Section 64 of the Companies Law provides that, if the board of directors fails to timely call a meeting requested under Section 63(b) of the Companies Law, then (i) the proposing shareholder(s) may call such meeting themselves, and (ii) the company will be required to cover the expenses of the proposing shareholder(s) in calling such meeting and that the directors who were responsible for said failure will personally reimburse such company for these expenses.

Based on publicly available information, Symetryx Corp., the Proposing Shareholder, currently hold an approximately 5.1% stake in the Company and sought to convene the Meeting to allow the shareholders of the Company to vote upon the Proposed Resolutions to improve the Company’s corporate governance by way of removing current directors from the Company’s Board of Directors and replacing them with new highly qualified directors nominees, as reflected in Proposal 1 and 2. We believe these actions are urgently required in order to protect shareholders’ interests, particularly for the following key reasons:

■

The Company’s existing board of directors’ (the “Board”) is making irrational and unreasonable business decisions and fails to oversight Company’s management. This is demonstrated, inter alia, by the following:

○

As set forth in the Company’s 6-K filing of August 14, 2023 on August 16, 2023, the Company entered into a business combination agreement (the “BCA”) with Keystone Dental Holdings, Inc. (“Keystone”), and affiliated entities.

○

The BCA is lacking any rational synergies. Keystone is a traditional manufacturing company, which is fundamentally misaligned with the needs and expectations of the Company’s shareholders, who believed and invested in the Company’s innovative high-growth technology.

○

While providing very little information and guidance as to the prospective of the merged business (including, without limitation, Keystone’s Compounded Annual Growth Rate) the BCA provides Keystone with a $225,000,000 valuation, which we view as inflated and unrealistic due to Keystone revenues for 2022 and given the pessimistic prospective growth. We have high concerns that Company and its management are not fulfilling their obligations to protect shareholder value in a transaction which will be excessively dilutive with no real long - term provided synergy.

○

The BCA and the press release provided in connection thereto provide no clarity as to the future of the Company’s IP, which we view as very concerning.

○

We are confident in our ability to quickly locate solid third - party partner to engage an alternative transaction which will adequately reflect shareholders value and are intended to secure long-term strategy and growth for the Company.

○

The Company’s cash burn rate which is expected to be over $15,000,000 from June through the BCA consummation date while the Company is effectively not conducting any business - is highly excessive and raises major concerns. Our proposed highly experienced directors will be able to cut down on such excessive burn rate, substantially reduce it and help the Company to navigate through these uncertain times.

All in all, we believe that the Proposed Resolutions will help affect a long-overdue change to the Board, and importantly, help to align the Company’s Board with shareholders’ interests to maximize value.

These statements should not be construed to prejudice any of our claims, rights, arguments, demands, grounds and/or remedies under any contract, the Articles of Association and/or law.

PROPOSAL 1

TO DISMISS ALL OF THE COMPANY’S DIRECTORS FROM OFFICE AND TO APPOINT NEW DIRECTORS IN EACH
OF THEIR PLACE, AND TO APPROVE THEIR COMPENSATION

The Articles of Association (the “Articles”) of Check-Cap Ltd. (the “Company”) provide that the Company shall have at least four (4) and not more than eleven (11) directors.

The Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) currently consists of five (5) directors.

In accordance with Articles 26 and 40 of the Articles and under Section 63(b)(2) of the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the “Companies Law”), we propose to dismiss all members of the Board from office effective immediately: Mr. Steven Hanley; Ms. Clara Ezed; Dr. Mary Jo Gorman; Mr. XiangQian (XQ) Lin; Mr. Yuval Yanai; (the “Dismissed Directors”), and, to appoint the following five (5) new directors to replace the Dismissed Directors as specified below, each to serve until the Company’s next general annual meeting of shareholders: Idan Ben Shitrit, Avital Shafran, Jordan Lipton, William Vozzolo and Lilian Malczewski (the “New Director Nominees”).

All of the New Director Nominees have declared their ability to be appointed as independent directors.

The New Director Nominees, whose professional backgrounds are provided below, have each advised the Company that they are willing, able and ready to serve as directors if appointed. Additionally, in accordance with the Companies Law, each of the New Director Nominees has certified to the Company that they meet all the requirements of the Companies Law for appointment as a director of a public company, they possess the necessary qualifications and have sufficient time to fulfill their duties as directors of the Company, taking into account the size and needs of the Company.

Each of Messrs. Vozzolo, Lipton, Yanai, Dr. Malczewski, and Ms. Shafran, has affirmed in a Director & Officer questionnaire completed by him or her prior to the calling of the Meeting, as to his or her qualification to serve prospectively as an independent director of Check-Cap, as such independence is determined under the Listing Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Similarly, none of the New Director Nominees has identified relationships that would disqualify him or her from serving as an independent member of the audit or compensation committees of the Stratasys Board, as determined in accordance with the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2) and Exchange Act Rule 10A-3, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(d)(2) and Exchange Act Rule 10C-1, respectively.

If appointed to replace each of the Dismissed Directors and subject to the approval of proposal 2 of this Proxy Statement, each of the New Director Nominees, will benefit from the indemnification and exculpation agreement, substantially in the form of those that the Company previously entered into with the Company’s members of the Board, as well as from the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, as in effect from time to time.
