After Careful Consideration, Our Board Recommends That Shareholders Vote “For” The Proposals Described In This Proxy Statement.
 
ITEM 1: APPROVAL OF THE RE-APPOINTMENT OF KESSELMAN & KESSELMAN PWC ISRAEL, A MEMBER OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS INTERNATIONAL LTD., AS OUR INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS, EFFECTIVE AS OF THE APPROVAL BY THE MEETING UNTIL OUR NEXT ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS, AND DELEGATION TO THE COMPANY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS (OR, THE AUDIT COMMITTEE, IF AUTHORIZED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS) THE AUTHORITY TO DETERMINE THE ACCOUNTANTS' REMUNERATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE VOLUME AND NATURE OF THEIR SERVICES.

Under the Companies Law and the Company’s articles of association, the shareholders of the Company are authorized to appoint the Company’s independent certified public accountants. In addition, the approval by the Company’s Audit Committee of the re-appointment and remuneration of the independent certified public accountants is required under the corporate governance rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market.
 
We first appointed Kesselman & Kesselman PwC Israel, a member of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Ltd., as our independent certified public accountants in 2009. Kesselman & Kesselman PwC Israel has no relationship with us or any of our affiliates except as auditors.
 
At the Meeting, and in accordance with the recommendation of our Audit Committee and Board of Directors, the shareholders will be asked to approve the re-appointment of Kesselman & Kesselman PwC Israel as our independent registered public accountants effective as of the approval by the Meeting and until the Company's next Annual Meeting of Shareholders. As a result of Kesselman & Kesselman PwC Israel’s familiarity with our operations and its reputation in the auditing field, our Audit Committee and Board of Directors believe that Kesselman & Kesselman PwC Israel has the necessary personnel, professional qualifications and independence to act as our independent certified public accountants.
 
At the Meeting, the shareholders will also be asked to delegate to our Board of Directors (or, the Audit Committee, if authorized by the Board of Directors) the authority to determine the remuneration of our independent certified public accountants according to the volume and nature of their services. With respect to fiscal year 2023, we approved payment to Kesselman & Kesselman PwC Israel of approximately 396,873 US$ for audit services (including special approvals) and 19,571 US$ for tax-related services.

It is therefore proposed that at the Meeting the shareholders adopt the following resolution:
 
RESOLVED, THAT THE RE-APPOINTMENT OF KESSELMAN & KESSELMAN PWC ISRAEL, A MEMBER OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS INTERNATIONAL LTD., AS THE INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF THE COMPANY EFFECTIVE AS OF THE APPROVAL BY THE MEETING AND UNTIL THE COMPANY'S NEXT ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS, BE AND HEREBY IS APPROVED, AND IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED, THAT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS (OR, THE AUDIT COMMITTEE, IF AUTHORIZED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS) BE, AND HEREBY ARE, AUTHORIZED TO DETERMINE THE REMUNERATION OF SUCH AUDITORS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE VOLUME AND NATURE OF THEIR SERVICES.”

ITEM 2: APPROVAL OF THE RE-ELECTION OF EACH OF MR. AMOS MALKA, GILLON BECK AND MS. RONNIE MENINGER (INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR), A TO SERVE AS DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY EACH TO HOLD OFFICE UNTIL OUR NEXT ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS.

The Company's Articles of Association provide for a Board of Directors consisting of no less than two and no more than eleven members. Our Board of Directors is currently composed of 5 directors (prior to this Meeting), including two external director appointed in accordance with the Companies Law. Our directors, other than our external directors, are elected at each annual meeting of shareholders. All the members of our Board of Directors (except the external directors who may be re-elected pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions stipulated in the Companies Law) may be re-elected upon completion of their term of office.
 
At the Meeting, our shareholders are being asked to re-elect Mr. Amos Malka and Ms. Ronnie Meninger (Independent Director) to serve as directors of the Company, to hold office until our next Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and to elect Mr. Gillon Beck to serve as director of the Company, to hold office until our next Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.
 
Under the Companies Law, the Board of Directors of a public company is required to determine the minimum number of directors with “accounting and financial expertise” who will serve on the board. Our Board of Directors determined that at least two directors must have “accounting and financial expertise” as such term is defined by regulations promulgated under the Companies Law. The audit committee determined on July 18th 2022 that Ms. Ronnie Meninger qualifies as an “independent” director within the meaning of this term under the Companies Law.

We are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. As such, we are exempt from the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules requirement that a majority of a company’s Board of Directors must qualify as independent directors within the meaning of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. We are also exempt from the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules requirement regarding the process for the nomination of directors; instead, we follow Israeli law and practice in accordance with which directors are proposed by the Board of Directors and elected by the shareholders, unless otherwise provided in a company’s articles of association. Our articles of association provide that the directors (except the external directors) may also be appointed by a vote of a majority of directors then in office. Our practice has been that our director nominees are presented in our proxy statement for election at our annual meetings of shareholders.
 
Under the Companies Law, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, entitled to vote and voting thereon, is required to re-elect each of the nominees named above.

Board Diversity
 
We are dedicated to ensuring equality and diversity in our Company. Our Board of Directors has no specific policy on director diversity. However, the Board reviews diversity of viewpoints, background, experience, accomplishments, education and skills when evaluating nominees. In addition, Nasdaq’s recently adopted Board Diversity Rule is a disclosure standard designed to encourage a minimum board diversity objective for companies and provide stakeholders with consistent, comparable disclosures concerning a listed company’s current board composition. Since the Board Diversity Rule became effective in August 2022, a company that is a “foreign private issuer” (as defined in SEC rules) like TAT will be required to initially have, or explain why it does not have, at least one director who self-identifies as female, an underrepresented minority or LGBTQ+. Our current board composition follows these requirements. Each term used above and, in the matrix, below has the meaning given to it in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(f). The matrix below provides certain highlights of the composition of our Board members based on self-identification.

Attached as Appendix A are the declarations according to the Companies Law of Mr. Amos Malka, Mr. Gillon Beck and Ms. Ronnie Meninger.
 
Each of the director nominees has certified to the Company that he or she complies with all requirements under the Companies Law for serving as a director.
 
It is therefore proposed that at the Meeting the shareholders adopt the following resolution:
 
RESOLVED, TO APPROVE THE RE-ELECTION OF EACH OF MR. AMOS MALKA, MR. GILLON BECK AND MS. RONNIE MENINGER (INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR), TO SERVE AS DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY AND TO HOLD OFFICE UNTIL OUR NEXT ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS”.
 
ITEM 3: APPROVAL OF THE RE-ELECTION OF MR. MORDECHAI GLICK AS AN EXTERNAL DIRECTOR, AS DEFINED IN THE ISRAELI COMPANIES LAW 5759-1999 (THE "COMPANIES LAW"), INCLUDING THE APPROVAL OF HIS COMPENSATION TERMS, FOR A THREE-YEAR PERIOD STARTING ON AUGUST 30, 2024

The Companies Law requires Israeli companies with shares that have been offered to the public, to appoint at least two external directors. Our Board of Directors is currently composed of two external directors appointed in accordance with the Israeli Companies Law (Mr. Mordechai Glick and Mr. Aviram Halevi). The current term of office of Mr. Glick, expires in August 2024, and the shareholders are being asked to re-elect Mr. Glick as an external director for an additional three-year term.

Mr. Mordechai Glick (71) joined TAT's Board of Directors as an external director in August 2021. From 1991 until 2021, Mr. Glick served as the CEO of Overseas Commerce Ltd.  a company which is traded on the TASE. Prior to that, from 1979 until 1990, he served as CFO and controller of Clal Trading and its subsidiaries. Since 2021, Mr. Glick served on the board of directors of Overseas Commerce Ltd. Mr. Glick is a Certified Public Accountant (Israel) and holds a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting and Economics from Bar-Ilan University, Israel.
 
Mr. Mordechai Glick has certified that he fulfills the conditions required for being appointed as an external director according to the Israeli Companies Law.
 
 Attached as Appendix B is the declaration according to the Companies Law of Mr. Mordechai Glick.
 
Subject to the approval of Mr. Glick's re-election by the Meeting, Mr. Glick's recompense will include entitlement to benefit from an indemnification, and D&O insurance under the same conditions as the other directors and in accordance with the Company's Compensation Policy.
 
Additionally, Subject to the approval of Mr. Glick's re-election by the Meeting, Mr. Glick will be entitled to compensation at the fixed sum, in accordance with the Compensation Regulations of the Israeli Companies Regulations (Rules Regarding Compensation and Expenses for an External Director), 2000.
 
  The aforementioned compensation terms are the same to the compensation terms he received during his first service as an external director.
 
It is therefore proposed that at the Meeting the shareholders adopt the following resolution:
 
RESOLVED, TO APPROVE THE RE-ELECTION OF MR. GLICK AS AN EXTERNAL DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY AND TO HOLD OFFICE FOR A PERIOD OF THREE (3) YEARS STARTING ON AUGUST 30, 2024.
 
FURTHER RESOLVED, TO APPROVE MR. GLICK'S ENTITLEMENT TO INDEMNIFICATION, D&O INSURANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMPANY'S COMPENSATION POLICY AND COMPENSATION AT THE FIXED SUM, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMPENSATION REGULATIONS OF THE COMPANIES REGULATIONS (RULES REGARDING COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES FOR AN EXTERNAL DIRECTOR), 2000.

In accordance with the Israeli Companies Regulations (Reliefs for Companies with Securities Listed on Foreign Stock Exchanges), 5760-2000 (the “Relief Regulations”), a shareholder submitting a vote for this Item 3 is deemed to confirm to the Company that such shareholder does not have a personal interest in the election of the external director (excluding a personal interest that is not related to a relationship with a controlling shareholder) and is not a controlling shareholder, unless such shareholder had delivered the Company a notice in writing stating otherwise, no later than 10 a.m., Israel time, on August 14, 2024, to the office of Naschitz, Brandes, Amir & Co., Advocates, located at 5 Tuval Street, Tel-Aviv, Israel. This notice should be addressed to the attention of Adv. Elad Amir.
 
ITEM 4: APPROVAL OF THE CANCELLATION OF THE PAR VALUE OF THE COMPANY’S ORDINARY SHARES AND AMENDMENT OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION OF THE COMPANY TO REFLECT SUCH CHANGE.
 
Currently, the Company's Ordinary Shares have a par value of 0.9 NIS.
 
The Board of Directors recommends that the General Meeting of shareholders approve an amendment to the Company's Articles of Association to cancel the par value of the Company’s Ordinary Shares.
 
In modern companies laws the concept of par value of shares is increasingly becoming obsolete. The rationale for the par value concept was originally to set the maximum liability of a shareholder and to protect creditors of a company. For all intents and purposes, the par value of a share represented the minimum legal price for which a company may issue its shares. Nonetheless, where the par value does not indicate the real economic value of the share, a par value regime may be misleading and lead to superfluous accounting complexity. International trends calling for the adoption of a no-par value regime believe that such regime may provide companies with enhanced flexibility in designing the structure of the share capital. The Company therefore desires to cancel its par value.
 
Moreover, the cancellation of the par value of the Company’s ordinary shares will not alter in any way the rights bestowed by an ordinary share to its holder in relation to right to vote, receive dividends and to participate in distributions as set forth in the Company’ articles of association.
 
We propose to amend our Articles of Association in the manner set forth on Appendix C.
 
It is therefore proposed that at the Meeting the shareholders adopt the following resolution: "RESOLVED, TO APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION CANCELLING THE PAR VALUE OF THE COMPANY’S ORDINARY SHARES."

OTHER BUSINESS
 
The Management knows of no other business to be acted upon at the Meeting. However, if any other business properly comes before the Meeting, the persons named in the enclosed proxy will vote upon such matters in accordance with their best judgment.
 
Should changes be made to any Item on the agenda for the Meeting after the publication of this Proxy Statement, we will communicate the changes to our shareholders through the publication of a press release, a copy of which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 6-K and with the Israeli Securities Authority.
 
 
By the Order of the Board of Directors,
