PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

This Proxy Statement is being furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors of Mer Telemanagement Solutions Ltd., to be voted at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, or the Meeting, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof, pursuant to the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.  The Meeting will be held at 10:30 a.m. (Israel time) on Sunday, October 21, 2018, at our offices at 14 Hatidhar Street, Ra’anana, Israel.
 
Purpose of the Annual General Meeting
 
At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and vote upon the following matters: (i) the re-election of four directors for terms expiring at our 2019 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and when their successors are elected and qualified; (ii) the approval of the terms of employment of Mr. Roy Hess, our company’s Chief Executive Officer; (iii) the approval of the terms of the share purchase agreement by and between our company and Alpha Capital Anstalt, or Alpha Capital, and the transactions contemplated thereby and related thereto, including the adoption of amended and restated articles of association and the amendment to our memorandum of association, which include the creation of a new class of preferred shares, or the Alpha Private Placement and the Amended and Restated Articles, and the appointment and terms of service of two directors nominated by Alpha Capital; and (iv) the ratification and approval of the reappointment of Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, registered public accountants, a member of Ernst & Young Global, as our independent registered public accountants for the year ending December 31, 2018, and the authorization of our Board of Directors to fix such independent registered public accountants’ compensation in accordance with the volume and nature of their services or to delegate such power to the Audit Committee.  In addition, our auditor’s report and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 will be reviewed and discussed at the Meeting.
 
We are not aware of any other matters that will come before the Meeting.  If any other matters properly come before the Meeting, the persons designated as proxies intend to vote on such matters in accordance with the judgment of the Board of Directors.
 
Recommendation of the Board of Directors
 
Our Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the re-election of the directors and each of the proposals set forth in this Proxy Statement.
 
Proxy Procedure
 
Only holders of record of our ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.03 per share, as of the close of business on Wednesday, September 12, 2018, are entitled to notice of, and to vote in person or by proxy, at the Meeting.  As of September 6, 2018, there are 3,294,323 outstanding ordinary shares.
 
·
Voting in Person.  If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent (i.e., you are a “registered shareholder”), you may attend and vote in person at the Meeting.  If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank, trustee or nominee (i.e., your shares are held in “street name”), you are also invited to attend the Meeting; however, to vote in person at the Meeting as a beneficial owner, you must first obtain a “legal proxy” from your broker, bank, trustee or nominee authorizing you to do so.
 
·
Voting by Mail.  You may submit your proxy by mail by completing, signing and mailing the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed, postage-paid envelope, or, for shares held in street name, by following the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank trustee or nominee.
 

If voting by virtue of a “legal proxy” or by mail, the proxy must be received by our transfer agent at least 48 hours prior to the appointed time of the Meeting or at our registered office in Israel at least four (4) hours prior to the appointed time of the Meeting to be validly included in the tally of ordinary shares voted at the Meeting.
 
Change or Revocation of Proxy
 
If you are a registered shareholder, you may change your vote at any time prior to the exercise of authority granted in the proxy by delivering a written notice of revocation to our Corporate Secretary, by timely granting a new proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the Meeting and voting in person.  Attendance at the Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request.
 
If your shares are held in street name, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, bank, trustee or nominee or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your broker, bank, trustee or nominee giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the Meeting and voting in person.
 
Quorum
 
A quorum of shareholders is necessary to transact business at the Meeting.  The presence of two shareholders, holding at least one third (⅓) of our issued share capital voting rights, represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting, will constitute a quorum.  A meeting adjourned for lack of a quorum generally is adjourned to the same day in the following week at the same time and place or any time and place as the directors designate in a notice to the shareholders.  If a quorum is not present at the reconvened meeting within half an hour from the time appointed for holding the meeting, any two members present in person or by proxy shall be a 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.  A broker non-vote will also be used for the purpose of establishing a quorum, but will not otherwise be counted in the voting process. Thus, broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of any of the matters being voted on at the Meeting. Generally, broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because (i) the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and (ii) the broker lacks discretionary voting power to vote such shares.
 
Unsigned or unreturned proxies, including those not returned by banks, brokers, or other record holders, will not be counted for quorum purposes.
 
Majority Vote Standard
 
The approval of the election of directors in Item 1 and the proposals set forth in Items 2 and 4 requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of our company’s ordinary shares voted in person or by proxy at the Meeting on the matter presented for passage.  The approval of the proposals set forth in Item 2 also requires compliance with additional special “disinterested” voting requirements as set forth in the Proxy Statement.  The approval of the proposals set forth in Item 3 requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least 75% of our company’s ordinary shares voted in person or by proxy at the Meeting. Our review and discussion of our auditor’s report and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 does not require a vote.
 
In tabulating the voting result for any particular proposal, shares that constitute broker non-votes and abstentions are not considered votes cast on that proposal.  Unsigned or unreturned proxies, including those not returned by banks, brokers, or other record holders, will not be counted for voting purposes.
 
2

Cost of Soliciting Votes for the Annual General Meeting
 
We will bear the cost of soliciting proxies from our shareholders.  Proxies will be solicited by mail and may also be solicited in person, by telephone or electronic communication, by our directors, officers and employees.  We will reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their expenses in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, concerning the sending of proxies and proxy materials to the beneficial owners of our ordinary shares.
 
Adjournment and Postponement

Although we do not expect this to occur, our shareholders may also be asked to vote to adjourn or postpone the Meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies in favor of any proposals on the agenda of the Meeting.

Our shareholders may communicate with the members of our Board of Directors by writing directly to the Board of Directors or specified individual directors to:
 
Corporate Secretary
Mer Telemanagement Solutions Ltd.
14 Hatidhar Street
Ra΄anana 4366516, Israel
 
Our Corporate Secretary will deliver any shareholder communications to the specified individual director, if so addressed, or to one of our directors who can address the matter.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
 
For information relating to the security ownership of certain beneficial owners and management, please see Item 3 of this Proxy Statement.
 
Terms of Service and Employment of Executive Officers and Directors
 
For information relating to the compensation of our five most highly compensated office holders during or with respect to the year ended December 31, 2017, please see “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees – B. Compensation” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2017, which was filed with the SEC on April 30, 2018, or the 2017 Annual Report.
 
I.  RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
(Item 1 on the Proxy Card)
 
Our Articles of Association provide for a board of directors consisting of up to twelve members or such other number as may be determined from time to time at a general meeting of shareholders.  Our Board of Directors currently consists of six directors, including two outside directors appointed in accordance with the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999, as amended from time to time, including any regulations, orders and rules promulgated thereunder, or the Israeli Companies Law.  Our directors, other than our outside directors, are elected at each annual general meeting of shareholders.  Our Board of Directors may, from time to time, appoint any other person as a director, whether to fill a casual vacancy or to add to their number.  All the members of our Board of Directors may be re-elected upon completion of their term of office (except the outside directors, whose re-election is governed by the Israeli Companies Law).
 
At the Meeting, shareholders are being asked to re-elect each of our current four directors who is not an outside director, Messrs. Haim Mer, Roger Challen, Steven J. Glusband and Yaacov Goldman, to hold office until our 2019 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and until their successors are elected and qualified.
 
All of the directors standing for re-election at the Meeting were elected to serve in such capacity by our shareholders at our 2017 annual general meeting of shareholders.  Each of the director-nominees has submitted a written declaration as required under the Israeli Companies Law.  Such declarations are available for review at our registered office.  Messrs. Adi Orzel and Tzvika Friedman, who were elected as directors at our 2017 annual general meeting of shareholders resigned their position as directors effective March 31, 2018 and June 19, 2018, respectively.
 
3

We have elected, pursuant to NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5615(a)(3), not to follow NASDAQ’s rule regarding the nomination process of directors, and instead, we follow Israeli law and practice, under which our directors are recommended by our Board of Directors for election by our shareholders.  Should any of the director-nominees be unavailable for election, the proxies will be voted for a substitute nominee designated by our Board of Directors.
 
If re-elected at the Meeting, we will continue to pay to each of Messrs. Roger Challen and Steven J. Glusband an annual fee of $8,400 and a per meeting attendance fee of $300 and to Mr. Yaacov Goldman an annual fee of NIS 30,500 (currently approximately $8,428) and a per meeting attendance fee of NIS 1,700 (currently approximately $470).  Mr. Haim Mer, our Chairman of the Board who devotes approximately 20% of his time to our company, is entitled to receive $7,000 per month, however, commencing December 2017, Mr. Mer on a voluntarily basis temporarily deferred 50% of his monthly fee and is currently being paid a monthly fee of $3,500. The directors are entitled to 60% of the meeting fee if they participated at the meeting by teleconference and not in person, and to 50% of the meeting fee if resolutions were approved in writing, without convening a meeting.  Should Mr. Mer cease to serve as our Chairman of the Board or cease to provide active Chairman services to our company, we will pay Mr. Mer an annual fee and a per meeting attendance fee equal to the fees we pay to Mr. Goldman.

II.  APPROVAL OF TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT OF ROY HESS, OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
(Item 2 on the Proxy Card)

Background

The Israeli Companies Law requires that the terms of employment of our Chief Executive Officer, or the CEO, be approved by our Compensation Committee, Board of Directors and shareholders, except in the limited circumstances set forth in the Israeli Companies Law.  Our Board of Directors approved the appointment of Mr. Roy Hess as our CEO in October 2017 and our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors approved the proposed terms of employment of Mr. Hess, recommended that our shareholders approve the proposed terms of employment of Mr. Hess, and believe such terms of employment are for the benefit of the Company.

In connection with the approval of the terms of employment of Mr. Hess upon his appointment as our CEO, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors resolved to utilize a relief provided by Regulation 1B4 under the Israeli Companies Regulations (Relief in Related Party Transactions), 5760-2000, providing that Israeli public companies will be exempt from the requirement to approve the terms of employment of a CEO by the company’s general meeting during the period from the commencement of employment of the CEO and the date of the next general meeting of the company’s shareholders. As this is the first general meeting of our shareholders since the commencement of employment of Mr. Hess, his terms of employment are presented to our shareholders for their approval.

The following is a brief biography of Mr. Hess:

Roy Hess (56) has served as our Chief Executive Officer since October 2017. Mr. Hess is a seasoned executive with over 20 years of experience building successful global businesses in the telecom and communication solutions and services sector. Prior to joining MTS, Mr. Hess served as the General Manager of Bioness Neuromodulation Ltd., a provider of medical devices, from 2012. Prior to that, Mr. Hess served as the CEO of Gilat Satcom Systems Ltd., a publicly traded company, from 2007 until 2011, as the VP Business Development of C. Mer Industries Ltd. and the CEO of Mer Inc. from 2003 until 2007 and as the President of Mer Telemanagement Solutions Inc. from 1996 until 2003. Mr. Hess holds a B.Sc. degree in Physics and Computer Science from Ben Gurion University and M.B.A. degree from Tel Aviv University.

General

When discussing the proposed terms of employment of Mr. Hess, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors considered, among other things: (a) Mr. Hess’s qualifications and expertise, including his track record and knowledge of the industries in which we are active; (b) Mr. Hess’s expected contribution to the growth of our company’s business; (c) benchmark data concerning the compensation packages of chief executive officers of public companies with similar attributes to MTS, including the compensation package of our former CEO; (d) the ratio between the cost of Mr. Hess’s terms of employment to the cost of employment of the other employees of our company, specifically to the average and median cost of employment of our other employees and (e) the compliance of the proposed terms of employment with our company’s compensation policy for directors and officers, or the Compensation Policy.

5

The terms of employment of Mr. Hess are as follows:

·
Monthly Salary and Benefits: A base monthly salary of NIS 75,000 (approximately $21,500) In addition, Mr. Hess is entitled to twenty-four (24) vacation days per year and to sick leave and recuperation pay in accordance with applicable law. Mr. Hess agreed to be subject to Section 14 of the Israeli Severance Pay Law and in connection with this arrangement we will contribute: (a) an amount equal to 8.33% of Mr. Hess’s fixed monthly salary towards severance pay liability in lieu of paying the full amount of severance pay upon termination of employment, (b) in connection with manager’s insurance payments – (i) an amount equal to not less than 5% of a portion of Mr. Hess’s fixed monthly salary, or the Manager’s Insurance Portion, plus (ii) the lower of: (1) up to 2.5% of the Manager’s Insurance Portion or (2) an amount required in order to ensure 75% of Mr. Hess’s salary the Manager’s Insurance Portion, for disability insurance, and (c) in connection with pension fund payments – an amount equal to 6.5% of Mr. Hess’s fixed monthly salary (after deduction of the Manager’s Insurance Portion). We  also contribute 7.5% of Mr. Hess’s fixed monthly salary, up to the tax ceiling, to an education fund;
 
·
Travel and Other Expenses: Mr. Hess is entitled to reimbursement of travel and other business expenses based on our policies and to NIS 300 per month for travel expenses;
 
·
Option Grant: Mr. Hess received a grant of options to acquire 116,667 ordinary shares under our 2003 Israeli Share Option Plan. These options vest over a period of four years (25% vesting on October 1, 2018 and an additional 12.5% vesting every six months for the following three years), subject to the fulfillment of a condition to vesting.  The condition to vesting will be fulfilled in the event the closing price of our ordinary shares is equal to or higher than a price per share of $4.5 for a consecutive period of three months.  The exercise price per share of the options is equal to $2.16 (the closing price per share of our ordinary shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market on September 28, 2017, the date of our Board of Directors’ approval of the terms). In addition, in the event of an M&A or reverse merger transaction (where current shareholders will hold less than 50% of the shares of the company) and if Mr. Hess does not continue to serve as the CEO of the company (or is released during the six month period following the closing of the transaction), 50% of all of Mr. Hess’s unvested options will become vested. The options are due to expire on October 1, 2027, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of our 2003 Israeli Share Option Plan.
 
·
Term and Termination: During the first six months of employment, Mr. Hess is required to provide, and will be entitled to receive, a two-month prior resignation or termination notice, as the case may be; provided, however, that under certain circumstances, including a material breach by Mr. Hess of his employment agreement, we may terminate the employment agreement without notice. Following the first six months of employment, such period will be extended to three months; and
 
·
Indemnification and Liability Insurance: Mr. Hess will be entitled to receive an indemnification letter in the form identical to the form provided to our other officers and directors, attached as Annex A to the proxy statement distributed to our shareholders in connection with our 2011 annual general meeting of shareholders and to be included in our directors and officers liability insurance policy, whose terms were recently approved in connection with our 2017 annual general meeting of shareholders.
 
Required Vote

Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, the terms of employment of our chief executive officer, whether or not they are in accordance with our Compensation Policy, generally require the approval of our Compensation Committee, Board of Directors and the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter; provided, that at least one of the following “special majority” requirements is met: (i) the shares voting in favor of the matter include at least a majority of the shares voted by shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and who do not have a personal interest in the approval of the proposal or (ii) the total number of shares voted against the proposal by shareholders referenced under (i) does not exceed 2% of our outstanding voting rights.

The Israeli Companies Law requires that each shareholder voting on this proposal indicate whether or not the shareholder is a “controlling shareholder” or has a personal interest in the approval of the proposal.  Otherwise, the shareholder is not eligible to vote on this proposal and his or her vote will not be counted for the purposes of this proposal. For this purpose, a “controlling shareholder” is any shareholder that has the ability to direct a company’s activities (other than by means of being a director or office holder of the company).  A person is presumed to be a controlling shareholder if it holds or controls, by himself or together with others, one half or more of any one of the “means of control” of a company.  “Means of control” is defined as any one of the following: (i) the right to vote at a general meeting of a company, or (ii) the right to appoint directors of a company or its chief executive officer.  We are not currently aware of any “controlling shareholder,” as defined under the Israeli Companies Law. Under the Israeli Companies Law, a “personal interest” of a shareholder in an act or transaction of a company (i) includes a personal interest of (x) any relative of the shareholder; (y) a company with respect to which the shareholder (or any such relative) serves as a director or the chief executive officer, owns at least 5% of the shares or has the right to appoint a director or the chief executive officer; and (y) a person acting as a proxy for the shareholder (even if the shareholder himself does not have a personal interest), and (ii) excludes an interest arising solely from the ownership of shares.  The term “relative” means a spouse, sibling, parent, grandparent and child, and child, sibling or parent of a spouse or the spouse of any of the foregoing. Under the Israeli Companies Law, in the case of a person voting by proxy for another person, “personal interest” includes a personal interest of either the proxy holder or the shareholder granting the proxy, whether or not the proxy holder has discretion how to vote. 

In the event this proposal is not approved by our shareholders, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors may still approve the proposed compensation, or any portions thereof, subject to specific requirements under the Israeli Companies Law.

Proposed Resolution 

It is therefore proposed that at the Meeting the following resolution be adopted:

“RESOLVED, that the terms of employment of Mr. Roy Hess as set forth in the Proxy Statement, be and hereby are ratified and approved, and to confirm that they are for the benefit of the Company.”
 
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the foregoing resolution.

III. APPROVAL OF THE ALPHA PRIVATE PLACEMENT
(Item 3 on the Proxy Card)

At the Meeting, we will propose the approval of the Share Purchase Agreement executed between our company and Alpha Capital on September 6, 2018, or the Alpha Capital SPA, which provides for, among other things, a private placement of our newly created preferred shares, or the Preferred Shares, to Alpha Capital for an aggregate initial consideration of $1,500,000.  As more fully detailed below, the Alpha Capital SPA and related transactions were approved by our Audit Committee and Board of Directors.

The description in this Proxy Statement of the Alpha Capital SPA and the Amended and Restated Articles is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Alpha Capital SPA, attached hereto as Appendix A and the Amended and Restated Articles, attached hereto as Appendix B.  We recommend that you read the Alpha Capital SPA and the Amended and Restated Articles carefully in their entirety.

Background

On May 7, 2018 we received a NASDAQ Staff Determination letter indicating that we failed to comply with the continued listing requirement that we maintain either a minimum  of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity or $35,000,000 market value of listed securities or $500,000 of net income from continuing operations for the most recently completed fiscal year or two of the three most recently completed fiscal years, as set forth in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4320(e)(2)(B), and that the Staff was reviewing our eligibility for continued listing on The  NASDAQ Capital Market.  In accordance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4320(e)(2)(D), we received 45 calendar days, or until June 21, 2018, to submit a plan to regain compliance.

As part of our efforts to regain compliance and improve our company’s cash position, we were introduced to Alpha Capital by a third party.  On May 3, 2018, we received a draft term sheet for an investment of $1.5 million in preferred shares. Our management and representatives of Alpha Capital negotiated the term sheet during May and early June 2018 and our Board of Directors discussed the proposed term sheet in meetings held on June 14, June 17 and June 18, 2018.  In addition, during June 2018, we approached Alpha Capital in order to see whether it would be interested in investing $200,000 in our ordinary shares in order to improve our immediate cash position and Alpha Capital invested this amount in our ordinary shares pursuant to a share purchase agreement dated June 20, 2018, or the Alpha Capital June SPA. For more information concerning the Alpha Capital June SPA, see below.  The term sheet in connection with the Alpha Capital SPA, or the Alpha Capital Term Sheet, was executed on June 20, 2018.

On June 21, 2018, we submitted our plan to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement set forth in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4320(e)(2)(B).  Our plan to regain compliance is based in part on various cost-cutting measures, including a reduction in number of personnel that was implemented in the second quarter of this year and other steps to regain profitability in 2018.  In addition, we notified NASDAQ that we entered into the Alpha Capital Term Sheet and the Alpha Capital June SPA, for an aggregate investment in our equity of $1,700,000.

NASDAQ rules provide that if a plan to regain compliance is accepted, the Staff can grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the letter to evidence compliance. On July 27, 2018, the Staff granted us an extension of time to regain compliance with Rule 4320(e)(2)(B) until November 5, 2018.

During July, August and early September 2018, Alpha Capital performed a due diligence of our company and we negotiated the terms of the Alpha Capital SPA, the Amended and Restated Articles and other ancillary documents.  On September 3 and 6, 2018, our Audit Committee and Board of Directors, respectively, approved the Alpha Capital SPA and related transactions, subject to receipt of the approval of our shareholders.

To our knowledge, Alpha Capital has invested in a wide portfolio of businesses, and it may in the future propose that we consider acquiring one or more of such businesses, or other business in which Alpha Capital has no current interest, but there are no present arrangements or concrete understandings for us to do so.

The Alpha Capital Private Placement

General

Alpha Capital will acquire our company’s newly created preferred shares in consideration for an investment of $1.5 million.

Price Per Share

The price per share, or the Price Per Share, to be paid by Alpha Capital is $1.14 per Preferred Share.  The Price Per Share was determined based on a discount of 15% on the volume weighted average price of our ordinary shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market for the three trading days preceding the signing of the Alpha Capital Term Sheet.

Greenshoe Option Granted to Alpha Capital

The Alpha Capital SPA provides Alpha Capital an option to acquire additional preferred shares with an aggregate subscription price equal to up to 100% of Alpha Capital’s initial investment in the preferred shares of our company (i.e., $1,500,000), at the Price Per Share, for a period ending on the twelve-month anniversary of the Alpha Capital SPA Closing Date, or the Closing Date.

The Alpha Capital SPA provides Alpha Capital with several rights in connection with certain future issuances of our securities and includes certain limitations on future issuances of our securities, which include the following:

·

9

·
Subsequent Equity Sales – from the Closing Date until 60 days from the Closing Date, neither us nor any of our subsidiaries shall issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents, other than certain exceptions, without Alpha Capital’s prior written consent.
 
·
Prohibition on Variable Rate Transactions – the Alpha Capital SPA includes a prohibition on our company and our subsidiaries against issuing ordinary shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents involving a Variable Rate Transaction (as such term is defined in the Alpha Capital SPA) or granting such rights to existing ordinary shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents without the prior written approval of Alpha Capital.  This prohibition is valid from the Closing Date until the earlier of (x) such date that is the thirty-six (36) month anniversary of the Closing Date, or (y) such time that less than 219,298  Preferred Shares are held by Alpha Capital.
 
·

Shareholders Meeting

The Alpha Capital SPA includes an undertaking by our company to use reasonable best efforts to publish a notice and proxy statement in connection with a shareholders meeting that will be asked to provide the approval required under the Eighth Part of the Israeli Companies Law within ten business days of receipt of a written request from Alpha Capital.  The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Eighth Part Shareholder Approval.  The Alpha Capital SPA further provides that if we do not obtain the Eighth Part Shareholder Approval at the first meeting, we shall call three additional meetings every 45 days thereafter to seek Eighth Part Shareholder Approval until the earlier of the date Eighth Part Shareholder Approval is obtained or until Alpha Capital withdraws its request in writing.  The Eighth Part of the Israeli Companies Law governs and regulates the acquisition of certain “control stakes” (e.g., shares granting 25% or more of the aggregate voting rights at a general meeting) in Israeli public companies where there are no other holders of a “control stake” in a company.

Conditions to Closing

The closing of the Alpha Capital SPA is subject to various customary closing conditions, including the approval of our shareholders.  The closing of the Alpha Capital SPA is also conditioned upon our Board of Directors consisting of five directors as of the Closing Date, of which two are the board appointees of Alpha Capital (as more fully detailed below), two are our outside directors and one is a currently serving Board member.

10

Closing Date

The closing of the Private Placement is scheduled for October 23, 2018, or at such other date, time and place as we and the investors participating in the Private Placement may mutually agree.

Use of Proceeds

The Alpha Capital provides that we will use the net proceeds from the investment thereunder for our working capital and general corporate purposes and that we shall not use such proceeds (a) for twelve (12) months following the Closing Date - for the satisfaction of any portion of our or our subsidiaries’ debt (other than payment of trade payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ business and prior practices), (b) for the redemption of any Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents, (c) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation, or (d) in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations.

Appointment of Board Members; Structure of our Board of Directors Post Closing of the Alpha Capital SPA

The Alpha Capital SPA provides that effective as of the Alpha Capital SPA Closing Date, our Board of Directors shall consist of five members, four of which will be independent directors for NASDAQ corporate governance purposes.  The Alpha Capital SPA further provides that we will appoint two directors selected by Alpha Capital to serve on our Board of Directors commencing on the Alpha Capital SPA Closing Date and ending on the first general meeting of our shareholders to take place following the lapse of two years from the Alpha Capital SPA Closing Date.  As more fully detailed below, the appointment of the two Alpha Capital board nominees and the proposed Amended and Restated Articles, which include Alpha Capital’s rights in connection with the appointment of these board members, are presented to our shareholders for approval at the Meeting.

Registration Rights

The Alpha Capital SPA provides Alpha Capital with “piggyback” registration rights with respect to ordinary shares issued upon conversion of the preferred shares that will be held by Alpha Capital.

Lock-Up Agreements

The Alpha Capital SPA requires as a condition to Closing that our directors, officers, and shareholders that, to our knowledge, hold 6% or more of our outstanding shares enter into lock-up agreements covering our ordinary shares held by them, which will be effective for a period of nine months following the Closing Date.  Therefore, we expect that Messrs. Mer and Challen will enter into lock-up agreements.

Liquidated Damages

The Alpha Capital SPA includes provisions that may obligate us to pay Alpha Capital liquidated damages in the future in connection with certain delays in removal of restrictive legends from ordinary shares held by Alpha Capital and certain failures of our company to satisfy the current public information requirement of Rule 144(c) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Terms of the Alpha Capital June SPA

The Alpha Capital June SPA provides Alpha Capital with, among other rights, “piggyback” registration rights and a most favored nation right, which also applies in the event Alpha Capital makes a subsequent investment in our company in the twelve month period after the closing date of the Alpha Capital June SPA.

Amended and Restated Articles

The Alpha Capital SPA includes, as a condition to closing the transactions contemplated by the Alpha Capital SPA, a requirement that we adopt the Amended and Restated Articles.  As noted above, the proposed Amended and Restated Articles are attached hereto as Appendix B.

The Amended and Restated Articles amend our current Articles, which were drafted based on the Israeli Companies Ordinance [New Version], 1983.  In addition to changes required in connection with the Alpha Capital SPA as noted below, the Amended and Restated Articles differ from our current Articles in connection with various issues, including, among others:

·
Changing the quorum required for shareholders meetings from two or more shareholders holding more than one third of the voting rights of our company to two or more shareholders holding more than 25% of the voting rights of our company in general meetings;
 
·
Including amendments and updates to the provisions concerning notices of general meetings (including, but not limited to, reducing the minimal notice period from twenty one (21) days to fourteen (14) days and providing that a notice published in one international wire services shall be deemed to have been duly given on the date of such publication);
 
·
Amendments to the indemnification and insurance provisions in order to align them with the current provisions of Israeli law; and
 
·
Providing that a merger will require the approval of a simple majority rather than the current requirement that a merger be approved by a majority of 75% of the shareholders participating and voting on the matter for purposes of approval of a merger.
 
The Amended and Restated Articles further include amendments required in connection with the Alpha Capital SPA as follows:
 
·
An increase and change of our authorized share capital from NIS 200,000.01 divided into 6,666,667 ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.03 each, to NIS 600,000 divided into 17,000,000 ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.03 each, and 3,000,000 preferred shares, par value NIS 0.03 each. This increase and change of our authorized share capital also requires similar amendments to our Memorandum of Association, which are included in the proposed resolutions set forth below;
 
·
The creation of a new class of preferred shares, with the preferences, rights and privileges included in the Amended and Restated Articles, including Exhibit A thereto, which include equal rights to receive dividends and to participate in the distribution of our company’s assets upon liquidation or winding-up (on an as-converted basis, pari-passu with our ordinary shares), conversion into our ordinary shares (on a one-for-one basis subject to certain adjustments), a Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as such term is defined in Exhibit A of the Amended and Restated Articles) of 9.99% and the right to vote and participate in general meetings of our shareholders, on an as-converted basis, up to and subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation;
 
·
Price per share protection rights to Alpha Capital – providing that from the Alpha Capital SPA Closing Date and until 36 months from the Closing Date, if and whenever we issue or sell ordinary shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents at a price per ordinary share that is less than the per ordinary share purchase price in the Alpha Capital SPA then, other than with respect to certain exceptions, the conversion price of the Preferred Shares will be reduced to such lower price per share; provided, however, that in no event shall the conversion price become lower than the greater of (i) US$0.10 or (ii) 20% of the closing price on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of the Alpha Capital SPA (each as adjusted for any subsequent stock splits, reverse splits and similar capital adjustments);
 
13

·
Board Appointment Rights and Number of Directors – the Amended and Restated Articles provide for Alpha Capital’s right to appoint directors as set forth above under “Appointment of Board Members; Structure of our Board of Directors Post Closing of the Alpha Capital SPA.” In addition, the Amended and Restated Articles provide that during the term of service of the directors nominated by Alpha Capital pursuant to the Alpha Capital SPA, we cannot increase the number of directors on our Board of Directors above five without Alpha Capital’s prior written consent; and
 
·
So long as any Preferred Shares are held by Alpha Capital, the Company shall not take any actions and/or adopt any resolutions in connection with the following matters, without the affirmative consent of Alpha Capital:
 
o
Any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of the Articles so as to adversely affect the special rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Preferred Shares, subject to certain exceptions.
 
o
Any increase to the number of members comprising the Board, during the Alpha Directors Service Term (as defined in the Articles).
 
o
Any consummation of a binding share exchange or reclassification involving the Preferred Shares, or of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, subject to certain exceptions.
 
Appointment of Alpha Capital Directors and their Terms of Service

As noted above, the Alpha Capital SPA requires, as a condition to closing of the Alpha Private Placement, that three of our directors (who are not outside directors) resign their position from our Board of Directors and that Mr. Scott Burell and Mr. Isaac Onn be nominated and appointed as members of our Board of Directors effective as of the closing of the Alpha Private Placement.  We expect that Messrs. Glusband, Goldman and Challen will resign their position as a member of our Board of Directors effective as of the closing of the Alpha Private Placement.
 
Each of the director-nominees has submitted a written declaration as required under the Israeli Companies Law.  Such declarations are available for review at our registered office. At the Meeting, shareholders are being asked to elect each of Scott Burell and Isacc Onn, to hold office pursuant to the terms of our Amended and Restated Articles as set forth under “Amended and Restated Articles” above.
 
As noted under Item 1 above, we elect, pursuant to NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5615(a)(3), not to follow NASDAQ’s rule regarding the nomination process of directors, and instead, we follow Israeli law and practice, under which our directors are recommended by our Board of Directors for election by our shareholders.  Should any of the director-nominees be unavailable for election, the proxies will be voted for a substitute nominee designated by our Board of Directors.  We are not aware of any reason why the nominees, if elected, would be unable or unwilling to serve as a director.

Audit Committee and Board of Directors Considerations and Recommendation

As noted above, our Board of Directors discussed the Alpha Capital Term Sheet in meetings held on June 14, 17 and 18, 2018.  Our Audit Committee and Board of Directors discussed the Alpha Capital SPA in meeting held on September 3, 2018 and September 6, 2018, respectively.   At these meetings, our Audit Committee and Board of Directors reviewed the circumstances and background of the Alpha Capital SPA, discussed the details of the Alpha Private Placement and considered our financial position and the alternative measures available to us that may assist in contributing to our equity and to our cash position, such as fund raising from other sources, potential mergers and other methods.

Our Audit Committee and Board of Directors approved, and recommended that our shareholders approve, the Alpha Private Placement, the Alpha Capital SPA and related documents, resolutions and actions.

In reaching their determinations, our Audit Committee and Board of Directors considered several factors and potential benefits of the Alpha Capital SPA and the Alpha Private Placement, including the following:

·
The continuance of the listing of our ordinary shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market is beneficial to our company and to our shareholders (raising funds, entering into certain M&A transactions, increased visibility, liquidity and analyst coverage) and that under the circumstances and the limited extension we were provided to regain compliance, this could be the only viable solution available in order to regain compliance with the NASDAQ’s equity-based continued listing requirements;

15

·
The funds that we received in connection with the Alpha Capital June SPA and that we are expected receive in connection with the Alpha Capital SPA will substantially improve our cash position (as of June 30, 2018, we held cash and cash equivalents in the amount of approximately $0.68 million (including the $200,000 received in connection with the Alpha Capital June SPA));

·
The process for implementing and closing the transactions contemplated under the Alpha Capital SPA is relatively simple and can be achieved relatively quickly;

·
The alternative equity raising alternatives, such as a rights offering, a public offering or a merger transaction would involve substantial expenses, including legal, accounting and due diligence expenses, which would result in an effective price per share that could be equal to or lower than the price per share to be paid in the Alpha Private Placement and are expected to take much longer, leaving us with very low cash reserve; and

·
In the event Alpha Capital or another holder of our preferred shares wishes to remove the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, based on current Israeli Companies Law, the holder of such preferred shares will be subject to the requirements of the Eighth Part of the Israeli Companies Law if such removal will result in an ownership of 25% or more of the voting rights in our company.

Our Audit Committee and Board of Directors also considered a variety of risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Alpha Capital SPA and the Alpha Capital Private Placement, including the following:

·
The potential effect of certain rights granted to Alpha Capital on our ability to raise funds by issuing securities during the relevant periods set forth in the Alpha Capital SPA (such as the right of first negotiation, the right of participation, the prohibition on issuances involving variable rate transactions and the prohibition on issuance of securities with anti-dilution features);

·
The effect of the dilution on our shareholders holding ordinary shares as a result of the issuance of preferred shares to Alpha Capital and the other significant protections granted to Alpha Capital under the Alpha Capital SPA and the Amended and Restated Articles (including the green-shoe option at the Price Per Share, the price per share protection and the most favorable nation provision); and

·
The change in the structure of our Board of Directors as a result of the Alpha Capital Private Placement.

The aforementioned description is not intended to be exhaustive but rather only a summary of the material factors considered by our Audit Committee and Board of Directors in its discussions concerning the Alpha Capital SPA and the Alpha Private Placement. After considering these factors, our Audit Committee and Board of Directors concluded that the positive factors relating to the Alpha Capital SPA and the Alpha Private Placement outweigh the potential negative factors. Our Audit Committee and Board of Directors approved and recommended the Alpha Capital SPA and the Alpha Private Placement and related documents and resolutions based upon the totality of the information presented to and considered by our Audit Committee and Board of Directors.

Required Vote

Pursuant to NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5635(d), the Alpha Capital SPA and the transactions contemplated thereby require shareholders’ approval by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, entitled to vote and voting on the matter. Although the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules provide that we may elect to follow home country practices in connection with the requirements for shareholder approval and although we generally follow Israeli law and practice instead of certain requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules, our Board of Directors resolved to submit the Alpha Capital SPA to shareholder approval. However, we may in the future elect to choose home country practices in connection with issues requiring shareholder approval, including transactions similar to, or more material than, the Alpha Private Placement.

16

Under the Israeli Companies Law, the election of the Alpha Capital director nominees and the approval of their terms of service, which are in accordance with our compensation policy, require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, entitled to vote and voting on the matter.

In addition, under the Israeli Companies Law, the adoption of the Amended and Restated Articles requires the following shareholders’ approval: (i) with respect to the amendments to our share capital and the provision relating to the majority required in order to approve future mergers, the affirmative vote of 75% of the ordinary shares represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, entitled to vote and voting on the matter, and (ii) with respect to all other parts of the Amended and restated Articles, including the changes to the indemnification, insurance and exemption provisions (as we do not currently have an office holder who is also a controlling shareholder), the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, entitled to vote and voting on the matter.  The proposed changes to our Memorandum of Association relating to the changes to our share capital also require the affirmative vote of 75% of the ordinary shares represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, entitled to vote and voting on the matter.

Proposed Resolutions

It is proposed that the following resolutions be adopted at the Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the Alpha Capital SPA in the form attached as Appendix A to the Proxy Statement, the Alpha Private Placement and all related transactions are hereby approved and that this resolution is for the benefit of the company;

RESOLVED, to adopt the Amended and Restated Articles, in the form attached as Appendix B to the Proxy Statement, effective upon and subject to the closing of the Alpha Private Placement;

RESOLVED, to approve the proposed changes to the share capital and the amendment to the Memorandum of Association reflecting such changes, effective upon and subject to the closing of the Alpha Private Placement;

IV.  RATIFICATION AND APPROVAL OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
(Item 4 on the Proxy Card)

General
 
Our Board of Directors first appointed Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, registered public accountants, a Member of Ernst & Young Global, as our independent public accountants in 1996 and has reappointed the firm as our independent public accountants since such time.
 
At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to ratify and approve the re-appointment of Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer as our independent registered public accountants for the year ending December 31, 2018, pursuant to the recommendation of our Audit Committee and Board of Directors.  As a result of Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer’s familiarity with our operations and reputation in the auditing field, our Audit Committee and Board of Directors believe that the firm has the necessary personnel, professional qualifications and independence to act as our independent registered public accountants.
 
At the Meeting, shareholders will also be asked to authorize our Board of Directors to fix the compensation of our independent registered public accountants in accordance with the volume and nature of their services or to delegate such authority to our Audit Committee.  With respect to fiscal year 2017, we paid Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer approximately $103,000 for audit services.
 
Required Vote
 
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, entitled to vote and voting on the matter, is required to approve the foregoing resolution.
 
Proposed Resolution
 
It is therefore proposed that at the Meeting the following resolution be adopted:
 
“RESOLVED, to ratify and approve the reappointment of Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, registered public accountants, a member of Ernst & Young Global, as our company’s independent registered public accountants for the year ending December 31, 2018, and to authorize the Board of Directors to fix such independent registered public accountants’ compensation in accordance with the volume and nature of their services or to delegate such power to the Audit Committee.”
 
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the foregoing resolution.
 
If the appointment of Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer is not approved by our shareholders, or if Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer ceases to act as our independent registered public accountants, or if the Audit Committee removes Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer as our independent registered public accountants, the Audit Committee will recommend another independent registered public accounting firm.
 
V. REVIEW AND DISCUSSION OF AUDITOR’S REPORT AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
At the Meeting, our auditor’s report and the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 will be presented.  We will hold a discussion with respect to the financial statements at the Meeting.  This Item will not involve a vote of the shareholders.
 
Our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2017, including the auditor’s report and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, which was filed with the SEC on April 30, 2018, is available on our website at www.mtsint.com or through the EDGAR website of the SEC at www.sec.gov.  None of the auditor’s report, consolidated financial statements, the Form 20-F or the contents of our website form part of the proxy solicitation material.

(b)                                 The Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1 or applicable law, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form (and no other legend of any kind):
 
NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS CONVERTIBLE HAS BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

(c)                                  Certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) following any sale of such Conversion Shares pursuant to Rule 144; (ii) if such Conversion Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 without volume limitations and the current information requirements are met at such time or (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent or the Purchaser if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder or if requested by the Purchaser to effect the removal of the legend hereunder.  If all or any portion of the Preferred Shares are converted at a time when such Conversion Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without volume limitations and current information requirements are met at such time or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Conversion Shares shall be issued free of all legends.  The Company agrees that following such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than the earlier of: (i) three (3) Trading Days; and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below), each following the receipt by the Company from the Purchaser of a certificate evidencing the Conversion Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend and of all other documents and certifications required in order to remove the legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certificate representing such Shares or Conversion Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends.  The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4.  Shares or Conversion Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by the Purchaser. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Ordinary Shares, as applicable, as in effect on the date of delivery of a certificate representing Conversion Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend.
 
(d)                                 In addition to the Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall, following and subject to the receipt of a written request from the relevant Purchaser, be obligated to pay to the Purchaser, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Conversion Shares (based on the VWAP of the Ordinary Shares on the date such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the 2nd Trading Day following the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend and (ii) if the Company fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date a certificate representing the Securities so delivered to the Company by the Purchaser that is free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the Legend Removal Date the Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Ordinary Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Purchaser of all or any portion of the number of Ordinary Shares, or a sale of a number of Ordinary Shares equal to all or any portion of the number of Ordinary Shares that the Purchaser anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of the Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the Ordinary Shares so purchased (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the “Buy-In Price”) over the product of (A) such number of Conversion Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (B) the lowest closing sale price of the Ordinary Shares, as applicable, on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by the Purchaser to the Company of the applicable Conversion Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (ii).

Nothing herein shall limit the Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Public Information Failure, and the Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief; provided, however, that the Public Information Failure Payments actually paid to a specific Purchaser will be deducted from any payment due to it by the Company under law.

3.2.2.
Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion.  The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holders, not less than such aggregate number of Ordinary Shares as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments set forth in Section 3.4) upon the conversion of the then outstanding Preferred Shares.  The Company covenants that all Ordinary Shares that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue in accordance with the terms herein, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
 
B - 28

3.2.3.
Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares. The Company shall round any fractional Ordinary Share that results from the conversion of Preferred Shares either up or down, to the nearest whole Ordinary Share, as applicable (i.e., fractions of up to 0.5 shall be rounded down and fractions equal to or higher than 0.5 shall be rounded up).
 
3.2.4.
Transfer Taxes and Expenses.  The issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of this Preferred Shares shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holders of such Preferred Shares and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.  The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing Company performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares.
 
3.3.
Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Company shall not effect any conversion of the Preferred Shares, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Preferred Shares, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Preferred Shares beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties (ii) the number of Ordinary Shares which are issuable upon exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 3.3, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 3.3 applies, the determination of whether a Preferred Share is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of how many Preferred Shares are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the Preferred Shares may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and how many Preferred Shares are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.  In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be made by the Holder and shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  For purposes of this Section 3.3, in determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the SEC, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding.  The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of Preferred Shares held by the applicable Holder.  A Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 3.3 applicable to its Preferred Shares.  Any such increase or decrease in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder.
 
B - 29

3.4.
Adjustments Upon Share Dividends and Share Splits. If the Company, at any time while any Preferred Shares are outstanding: (i) pays a share dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in Ordinary Shares on its Ordinary Shares (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Ordinary Shares issued by the Company upon conversion of the Preferred Shares), (ii) subdivides outstanding Ordinary Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse share split) outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of Ordinary Shares, any shares of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such share dividend or distribution or after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification, as the case may be.
 
4.
Miscellaneous.
 
4.1.
Notices.  Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without limitation, any Notice of Conversion, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, or sent by an internationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company, at the Company’s registered address, Attention: Chief Financial Officer, facsimile number +972-9- 7777-566, or such other facsimile number as the Company may specify in its filings made to the SEC.  Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number set forth in this Section prior to 5:30 p.m. (Israel time) on any date, (ii) the next Business Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number set forth in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (Israel time) on any Business Day, (iii) the third Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by an internationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
 
4.2.
Lost or Mutilated Preferred Share Certificate.  If a Holder received from the Company certificates evidencing such Holder’s Preferred Share, and such certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated certificate, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, a new certificate for the Preferred Shares so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such certificate, and of the ownership hereof reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
 
4.3.

Waiver.  Any waiver by the Company or a Holder of a breach of any provision of this Certificate of Designation shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Certificate of Designation or a waiver by any other Holders. The failure of the Company or a Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Certificate of Designation on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party (or any other Holder) of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Certificate of Designation on any other occasion.  Any waiver by the Company or a Holder must be in writing.
 
4.5.
Severability.  If any provision of this Certificate of Designation is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Certificate of Designation shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances.  If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law.
 
4.6.
Next Business Day.  Whenever any obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such obligations shall be fulfilled on the next succeeding Business Day.
 
4.7.
