Approving the Company's transition from the reporting format in accordance with Chapter F of the Israeli Securities Law, 5728 - 1968 (the "Israeli Securities Law") to the reporting format in accordance with the U.S Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "U.S. Securities Law"), in accordance with Chapter E3 of the Israeli Securities Law.

Following the transition, the Company will file with TASE and ISA identical reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

 

1.2.Proposed Compensation Terms of CEO and director Dr. Ron Babecoff

 

The compensation terms proposed for Dr. Babecoff are as follows:

 

(a)Increasing CEO's monthly salary, in employment cost terms, to NIS 80 thousand (approximately USD 20.62 thousand, calculated according to the exchange rate as of May 28, 2015, which was NIS 3.88 per 1 USD).
(b)The grant of unregistered options in accordance with the Company's 2005 Israeli Share Option Plan (the "2005 Plan"), that is 2.5% of the Company's issued and outstanding capital on a fully diluted basis, as of May 28, 2015, exercisable to up to 5,929,503 ordinary shares of the Company NIS 0.0000001 par value (the "Ordinary Shares") at an exercise price of NIS 0.74607 per Ordinary Share (USD 0.1923 per ordinary share, calculated according to the exchange rate reported by the Bank of Israel for May 28, 2015, which was NIS 3.88 per 1 USD).

3.Summary of Proposed Compensation Terms Considerations by Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors

The proposed compensation terms are not in compliance with the Compensation Policy because the amount of options proposed to be granted to Dr. Babecoff exceeds the maximum amount of options recommended for such grant as set in the Compensation Policy.

 

The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors, in their meetings held on May 26 and 28, 2015, respectively, have approved the proposed compensation terms after considering all the factors required in accordance with Amendment No. 20 to the Companies Law and after the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company were presented with Dr. Babecoff's experience, skills and contribution record, as well as with the terms of his Service Agreement and a comparison of the compensation of other CEOs in similar companies operating in the same field of business and with a similar scope of activity, and stated the following reasons:

 

3.1.Dr. Babecoff's involvement with the Company since inception contributed to the development and progress of the Company's business operations and assisted in the recent achievements, including the completion of certain clinical trials, the membership in the UNISEC consortium, the procurement of Good Manufacturing Practice standards, or cGMP, by a European qualified person approval and the successful initial public offering in the U.S. In light of these achievements, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors determined that the proposed compensation terms are reasonable and serve the Company's best interest.

 

 

2 As of December 31, 2014.

 

4
 

 

3.2.The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors examined the existing Service Agreement as extended and approved on January 18, 2015 and were of the opinion that Dr. Babecoff's compensation is relatively low considering his past and future efforts and contribution to the Company as CEO and in comparison to compensation terms of other CEOs of similarly situated companies.

 

3.3.In terms of promoting the Company's objectives, work plan and long term policy, the proposed compensation terms for Dr. Babecoff and the grant of options are reasonable and fair, given the scope of the investment and the resources that are invested and will be invested by Dr. Babecoff in his capacity as CEO and Director, in promoting the Company's objectives and expanding Company's activity.

 

3.4.Dr. Babecoff's knowledge and experience contributed, and will continue to contribute, to the Company's success, as Dr. Babecoff puts his best efforts, skills and professionalism into managing the Company and promoting the Company's interests.

 

3.5.Dr. Babecoff's terms and conditions of employment are appropriate, considering his education, skills, expertise and vast experience and noting his performance in the positions that he performs in the Company, both as CEO and as a Director, and his contributions to the Company.

 

3.6.The ratio between Dr. Babecoff's updated cost of employment and the average employment cost of the Company's employees is 3.39. The ratio between Dr. Babecoff cost of employment and the median cost of employment of the Company's employees is 4.30. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors are of the opinion that considering the nature of the Company's activity and Dr. Babecoff's position as CEO and Director, the said ratio is reasonable and will not have an adverse effect on the employment relationships in the Company.

 

3.7.In light of all the foregoing, and taking into account, inter alia, the Company's size, scope, complexity and the nature of its activities; the complexity of Dr. Babecoff's position and his scope of responsibility; the many achievements of Dr. Babecoff in the Company and his contribution to the Company's success (including the listing of the Company's securities on The NASDAQ Capital Market), the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company believe that the proposed compensation terms are reasonable and fair.
