The Board of Directors has nominated Mr. Gil Bianco ("Bianco") to be re-appointed as an external director of the Company to serve until the next Annual General Meeting of the Company’s shareholders or until his successor has been duly appointed.

Under the Israeli Companies Law, Israeli companies whose shares have been offered to the public in or outside of Israel are required to appoint at least two external directors to serve on their board of directors for a threeyear term. However, the Relief Regulations allows extending the appointment of external directors who have completed nine years by re-appointing them for further periods, each of up to three years, subject to certain conditions. Bianco has been serving as an external director in the Company since November 2007.

Each committee of the Board of Directors that is entitled to exercise any powers of the board is required to include at least one external director. The audit committee and the compensation committee must include all the external directors.

Under the Israeli Companies Law, a person may be appointed as an external director if he or she possesses “accounting and financial expertise” or “professional qualifications”, and is otherwise qualified to serve as a director.

At least one of the external directors of a company must possess “accounting and financial expertise”. The conditions and criteria for possessing “accounting and financial expertise” or “professional qualifications” are determined under the Israeli Companies Law Regulations (Conditions and Criteria for Directors having Accounting and Financial Expertise and for Directors having Professional Qualifications), 5761-2005 (the “External Director Qualification Regulations”).

A person may not serve as an external director if he or she is a relative of a person controlling the Company, or if at the date of his or her appointment or within the prior two years, that person, or his or her relatives, partners, employers, or anyone to whom he or she reports directly or indirectly or entities under his or her control, are subject to, have or had any affiliation with the Company, with any entity or person controlling the Company or with a relative of any entity or person controlling the Company, at the time of appointment or with another entity in which the controlling shareholder at the time of the appointment or within the prior two years is the Company or the person controlling the Company; and in a company, such as the Company, where there is no person or entity controlling it or a shareholder with a control block of at least 25% of the votes in a shareholders meeting, there is also no affiliation of the person with anyone whom, on the date of appointment, is either the chairperson of the board of directors of the company, the chief executive officer, a major shareholder who holds at least 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the company or 5% of the votes at a shareholders meeting, or the most senior executive officer in the finance department of the company.

Under the Israeli Companies Law, "Affiliation" is defined in this context to include an employment relationship, a business or professional relationship maintained on a regular basis, control or service as an officer. An officer is defined in the Israeli Companies Law as any general manager, chief business manager, deputy general manager, vice general manager, or any manager assuming the responsibilities of any of these positions regardless of that person’s title, as well as a director, or a manager directly subordinate to the general manager.

A person may not serve as an external director if that person’s position or other activities create, or may create a conflict of interest with the person’s service as a director or may otherwise interfere with the person’s ability to serve as an external director. Additionally, no person may serve as an external director if the person, the person’s relative, spouse, employer or any entity controlling or controlled by the person, has a business or professional relationship with someone with whom affiliation is prohibited, even if such relationship is not maintained on a regular basis, excepting negligible relationships, or if such person received from the company any compensation as an external director in excess of what is permitted by the Israeli Companies Law. If at the time any external director is appointed, all members of the board who are not controlling shareholders or their relatives are of the same gender, then the external director to be appointed must be of the other gender.

According to the resolution of the Company’s Compensation Committee held on November 19, 2017 and the resolution of the Board of Directors held on November 19, 2017, and in accordance with the Company's Compensation Policy, both approved to grant options to the CEO to purchase up to 50,000 of the Company’s Ordinary Shares (the “Options”). The Options shall vest and become exercisable in accordance with a four (4) year vesting schedule, commencing on the date of grant, so that upon the lapse of twenty-four (24) months from the date of grant, fifty percent (50%) of the shares underlying the Options shall vest, and thereafter, upon the lapse of each calendar quarter, six point twenty-five percent (6.25%) of the shares underlying the Options shall vest. The exercise price of the Options is NIS 105.00 each, non-linked, which reflects the higher of (i) the average of the closing price per share in the TASE during the 30 days preceding the date of the Board of Directors’ resolution to grant the Options to the CEO (the “Board Resolution”), or (ii) the closing price per share on the day prior the date of the Board Resolution. The term of the Options will be 7 years from date of grant. In addition, the CEO will be entitled to accelerated vesting of non-vested options, should his position be terminated due to change of control.
 
The estimated value of each option, according to the binomial model is approximately NIS 50.00.1

The Company’s Compensation Committee and Board of Directors recommend to approve this equity grant as recognition for the CEO’s accomplishments and milestones achieved by the Company under his leadership, specifically, (i) the Company making progress with its strategic partnership with Medtronic mainly as a result of the early achievement of certain sales and marketing milestones; (ii) the rapid growth of the Company; (iii) substantial increase in revenues and (iv) the resulting increase in the CEO’s responsibilities. The Compensation Committee and Board of Directors examined relevant factors required by the Company’s Compensation Policy, including the ratio between the annual compensation of the CEO and the average and median compensation of other Company employees, and believe that the grant of Options provides the CEO with a competitive compensation package while aligning the interests of the CEO with the long-term interests of the Company’s shareholders as the equity grant incentivizes the achievement of long term goals and provides a retention incentive.

Based on a survey conducted by a leading compensation consulting firm in Israel, it was determined that the proposed equity grant does not exceed the average equity compensation packages offered to chief executive officers of other peer public companies in Israel.

It is hereby clarified that as of the date hereof, the CEO holds options to purchase 596,574 Ordinary Shares under the Company’s 2011 Option Plan, which constitute, as of the date hereof, 1.05% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company, on a fully diluted basis.

The shareholders of the Company will be requested to adopt the following resolution at the Meeting:

 “RESOLVED, to approve a grant of 50,000 Options to the CEO."

Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, approval of this Proposal 9 requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of all the votes of the shareholders who are not controlling members in the Company or have a Personal Interest in the approval of the CEO option grant, other than a Personal Interest that is not the result of personal ties with the controlling member; abstentions shall not be included in the total of the votes of the aforesaid shareholders; or the total opposing votes from among the shareholders said in the paragraph hereinabove does not exceed two-percent of all the voting rights in the Company.

Each shareholder voting at the meeting or prior thereto by means of the accompanying proxy card is requested to notify us if he, she or it has a Personal Interest in connection with this Proposal 9 as a condition for his or her vote to be counted with respect to this Proposal 9. If any shareholder casting a vote in connection hereto does not notify us if he, she or it has a Personal Interest with respect to this Proposal 9, his, her or its vote with respect to this Proposal 9 will be disqualified.
 

                                                                                                          
1 This calculation assumes no acceleration of the proposed grant of options to the CEO.

PROPOSAL 10
AMENDED COMPENSATION POLICY FOR DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, the Company adopted the Compensation Policy, which sets forth the terms of service and employment of directors and officers, including directors’ & officers’ liability insurance.

Following the recommendation of our Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors approved the proposed amendment to the Company’s Compensation Policy, which will allow the Company’s Compensation Committee to approve a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, without the need for further shareholder approval, within the following limits: (a) the premium for each 12 months of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy shall be not more than $550,000 and (b) the maximum aggregate limit of liability pursuant to the insurance policy shall be not more than 10% of the Company’s highest  market value based on the closing price of the Company American Depositary Shares, as quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market over the 365 days ending immediately prior to the Company’s Compensation Committee's resolution date. Notwithstanding the above, the Company’s Compensation Committee shall be authorized to increase the coverage purchased, and/or the premium paid for such policies, in the middle of the insurance term by up to 20% when necessary to match the limit of liability to the growth in the Company’s market value in the same proportion (10%) as stipulated above.

The Company’s Compensation Committee and Board of Directors determined that the additional liability insurance coverage is appropriate and required due to the substantial increase in the Company’s market capitalization since the Compensation Policy was last approved by the general meeting of the shareholders of the Company, and resulting exposure to the Company’s directors and officers, and that the Company’s Compensation Policy should be amended accordingly.

Other than the amended hereinabove, as marked in the attached Annex F, no additional amendments are being made to the Company’s Compensation Policy.

The shareholders of the Company will be requested to adopt the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, to approve the amended Company’s Compensation Policy for Directors and Officers substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex F.”

Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, approval of this Proposal 10 requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of all the votes of the shareholders who are not controlling members in the Company or have a personal interest in the approval of the Compensation Policy, other than a personal interest that is not the result of personal ties with the controlling member; abstentions shall not be included in the total of the votes of the aforesaid shareholders; or the total opposing votes from among the shareholders said in the paragraph hereinabove does not exceed two-percent of all the voting rights in the Company.

Each shareholder voting at the meeting or prior thereto by means of the accompanying proxy card is requested to notify us if he, she or it has a Personal Interest in connection with this Proposal 10 as a condition for his or her vote to be counted with respect to this Proposal 10. If any shareholder casting a vote in connection hereto does not notify us if he, she or it has a Personal Interest with respect to this Proposal 10, his, her or its vote with respect to this Proposal 10 will be disqualified.

The Israeli Companies Law allows our Board of Directors to approve Proposal 10 even if it was not approved by our shareholders, provided that our Compensation Committee and thereafter the Board of Directors have determined that Proposal 10 is not prejudicial to the welfare of the Company and decided to reapprove Proposal 10 based on detailed reasoning, and after having reexamined the proposal, and taken, inter alia, the shareholder rejection into consideration.



Your vote is important! Shareholders are urged to complete and return their proxies promptly in order to, among other things, ensure action by a quorum and to avoid the expense of additional solicitation.

The Base Salary for newly hired Officers will be set based on the following considerations:
 
·
Role and business responsibilities.
 
·
Professional experience, education, expertise and qualifications.
 
·
Previous compensation paid to the Officer.
 
·
The Company’s financial situation.
 
·
Internal equity: (a) Base salary and the total compensation package of comparable Company's Officers; (b) The relationship between the Officer’s compensation package and the salaries of the Company’s other employees and specifically the median and average salaries of the Company and the effect of such relationship on work relations in the Company.
 
·
External equity - Market value based on a comparative salary survey, taking into account relevant market practice as a benchmark for the specific role using a peer-group of companies. The peer-group companies will be selected to provide an appropriate comparative model and will be selected based on appropriate similarities taking into account factors such as market capitalization, type of industry, location of listing, level of revenues, number of employees, location of operations, relevance of such factors to the particular executive role being compared and any other factors that may be deemed appropriate by the Company. The Company will use at least three (3) peer-group companies when conducting the survey and will conduct such a survey at least once every 3 years, and upon hiring a new Officer to a new position that did not exist in the company before, if the latest survey will not be deemed reflective of the then market conditions.

In addition, his or her full compensation package including any bonus and options will be discussed to provide full view.
