Board Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote in favor of the above proposals as further described in the attached proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”).

Record Date

Shareholders of record at the close of business on August 29, 2024 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting, either in person or by appointing a proxy to vote their shares at the Meeting, as described below.

How You Can Vote

A form of proxy for use at the Meeting is attached to the Proxy Statement and, together with a return envelope, will be sent to holders of the Ordinary Shares. By appointing “proxies,” shareholders may vote at the Meeting whether or not they attend. If a properly executed proxy in the attached form is received by the Company at least four (4) hours prior to the Meeting, including a copy of your identity card, passport or certification of incorporation, as the case may be, all of the Ordinary Shares represented by the proxy shall be voted as indicated on the form.

Subject to the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market and other applicable law, in the absence of instructions, the Ordinary Shares represented by properly executed and received proxies will be voted “FOR” all of the proposals to be presented at the Meeting for which the Board recommends a “FOR”.

Shareholders may revoke their proxies or voting instruction form (as applicable) in accordance with section 9 of the regulations (proxy and position statement) under the Israeli Companies Law 5759-1999 (the “Companies Law”), by filing with the Company a written notice of revocation or duly executed proxy or voting instruction form (as applicable) bearing a later date and time.

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record. In such case, these proxy materials are being sent directly to you. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to use the proxy card included with the Proxy Statement to grant your voting proxy directly to Mr. Alon Mualem, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, or to Mr. Asher Dahan, the Company’s CEO and Chairman of the Board (e-mail address: alonmualem@wearabledevices.co.il; asher.dahan@wearabledevices.co.il), or to vote in person at the Meeting.

If your shares are held through a bank, broker or other nominee, they are considered to be held in “street name” and you are the beneficial owner with respect to those shares. A beneficial owner as of the Record Date has the right to direct the bank, broker or nominee how to vote shares held by such beneficial owner at the Meeting. If your shares were held in “street name,” as of the Record Date, these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your bank, broker or nominee who is considered, with respect to those shares, as the shareholder of record, together with a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the bank, broker or nominee how to vote your shares. You also may attend the Meeting. Because a beneficial owner is not a shareholder of record, you may not vote those shares directly at the Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the bank, broker or other nominee that holds your shares directly, giving you the right to vote the shares at the Meeting, and providing the Company with a copy of your identity card, passport or certification of incorporation, as the case may be. Absent specific instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares, brokers are not allowed to exercise their voting discretion, among other things, with respect to Proposals Nos. 2 through 13 herein, which we believe are considered as non-routine under applicable rules, and therefore, a “broker non-vote” occurs with respect to such uninstructed shares. Therefore, it is important for a shareholder that holds Ordinary Shares through a bank or broker to instruct its bank or broker how to vote its shares if the shareholder wants its shares to count for the proposal described herein.

Voting Results

The final voting results will be tallied by the Company based on the information provided by VStock Transfer, LLC. or otherwise and the overall results of the Meeting will be published following the Meeting in a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K that will be furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

	Sincerely,

	Asher Dahan
	Chief Executive Officer

PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL AND SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON SEPTEMBER 26, 2024

This proxy statement (this “Proxy Statement”) is being filed by Wearable Devices Ltd. (the “Company”) to solicit proxies on behalf of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) for use at the Company’s annual and special general meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) to be held on September 26, 2024, at 3:00 p.m. Israel time, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Upon the receipt of a properly executed proxy in the form enclosed, the persons named as proxies therein will vote the ordinary shares, NIS 0.01 par value each, of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”), covered thereby in accordance with the directions of the shareholders executing such proxy. In the absence of such directions, and except as otherwise mentioned in this Proxy Statement, the Ordinary Shares represented thereby will be voted in favor of the proposals described in this Proxy Statement.

Quorum and Adjournment

As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to comply with Israeli corporate governance practices instead of certain requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rules (“Nasdaq” and the “Nasdaq Rules”, respectively), provided that we disclose those Nasdaq Rules with which we do not comply and the equivalent Israeli requirement that we follow instead (the “Foreign Private Issuer Exemption”). We currently rely on this Foreign Private Issuer Exemption with respect to the quorum requirement for meetings of our shareholders. As permitted under the Israeli Companies Law 5759-1999 (the “Companies Law”) and in accordance with our Amended and Restated Articles of Association (the “Articles”), two or more shareholders present, in person or by proxy, holding in the aggregate not less than twenty five percent (25%) of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, shall constitute a quorum for the Meeting.

If within half an hour from the time the Meeting is convened a quorum is not present, the Meeting shall stand adjourned until September 26, 2024, at 4:00 p.m. Israel time (the “Adjourned Meeting”). At the Adjourned Meeting, any number of shareholders present in person or by proxy shall be deemed a quorum and shall be entitled to deliberate and to resolve in respect of the matters for which the Meeting was convened. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for the purpose of determining a quorum.

Required Vote and Voting Procedures

Pursuant to the Companies Law, Proposals No. 1, 2, 8, 9, 10, and 11 described hereinafter, requires the affirmative vote of shareholders present at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, and holding Ordinary Shares amounting in the aggregate to at least a majority of the votes actually cast by shareholders with respect to such proposal (a “Simple Majority”).

Proposals No. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12 and 13, described hereinafter, are subject to the fulfillment of the aforementioned voting requirements and also one of the following additional voting requirements: (i) the majority of the shares that are voted at the Meeting in favor of such proposal, excluding abstentions, include a majority of the votes of shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and do not have a personal interest in the proposal; or (ii) the total number of shares of the shareholders mentioned in clause (i) above that are voted against such proposal does not exceed 2% of the total voting rights in the Company (a “Special Majority”).

In case Proposal No. 3 will be approved, Proposals No. 5 and 13 will require a Simple Majority, as defined above, and the votes for Proposal No. 6 will not be voted upon at the Meeting.

For this purpose, a “Controlling Shareholder” is defined under the Companies Law as any shareholder that has the ability to direct the Company’s activities (other than by means of being a director or officer of the Company). A person is presumed to be a Controlling Shareholder if he or she holds or controls, by himself or herself or together with others, one half or more of any one of the “means of control” of a company. In the context of a transaction with an interested party, a shareholder who holds 25% or more of the voting rights in a company is also presumed to be a Controlling Shareholder if no other shareholder holds more than 50% of the voting rights in such company. “Means of Control” is defined as either: (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.

For this purpose, “Personal Interest” is defined under the Companies Law as: (1) a shareholder’s personal interest in the approval of an act or a transaction of the company, including (i) the personal interest of any of his or her relatives (which includes for these purposes foregoing shareholder’s spouse, siblings, parents, grandparents, descendants, and spouse’s descendants, siblings, and parents, and the spouse of any of the foregoing); (ii) a personal interest of a corporation in which a shareholder or any of his or her aforementioned relatives serve as a director or the chief executive officer, owns at least 5% of its issued share capital or its voting rights or has the right to appoint a director or chief executive officer; or (iii) a personal interest of an individual voting via a power of attorney given by a third party (even if the empowering shareholder has no personal interest), and the vote of an attorney-in-fact shall be considered a personal interest vote if the empowering shareholder has a personal interest, and all with no regard as to whether the attorney-in-fact has voting discretion or not, but (2) excludes a personal interest arising solely from the fact of holding shares in the company.

According to the Companies Law Regulations (exemptions for companies whose securities are listed for trading on a stock exchange outside of Israel) 5760-2000, by signing and submitting the attached Proxy Card, a shareholder of record declares and approves that he or she has no personal interest in the approval of any of the items on the Meeting agenda that requires such declaration under the Companies Law, with the exception of a personal interest that the shareholder positively informed the company about, as detailed in the attached Proxy Card.

In accordance with the Companies Law and regulations promulgated thereunder, any shareholder of the Company holding at least 1% of the outstanding voting rights of the Company for the Meeting may submit to the Company a proposed additional agenda item for the Meeting (and in case of a proposed additional agenda item for nominating or removing a director, at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding voting rights of the Company), to Mr. Alon Mualem, e-mail address: alonmualem@wearabledevices.co.il, no later than August 29, 2024.

Shareholders wishing to express their position on an agenda item for this Meeting may do so by submitting a statement (a “Position Statement”) to the Company’s offices at 5 Ha-Tnufa Street, Yokne-am Illit, Israel 2066736. Any Position Statement received will be furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K and will be made available to the public on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Position Statements should be submitted to the Company no later than September 16, 2024. A shareholder is entitled to contact the Company directly and receive the text of the proxy card and any Position Statement. The Board’ response to the Position Statement will be submitted no later than the end of September 20, 2024.

One shareholder or more holding Ordinary Shares which reflect five percent (5%) or more of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital and voting rights as of the Record Date (i.e., 1,142,652 Ordinary Shares) is entitled to examine the proxy and voting material.

It is noted that there may be changes on the agenda after publishing this Proxy Statement, and there may be Position Statements which can be published. Therefore, the most updated agenda will be furnished to the SEC on a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K and will be made available to the public on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

PROPOSAL 1

To re-appoint Ziv Haft, CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS, Isr., a member firm of BDO,
as the independent auditor of the Company, and to authorize the Board of
Directors of the company to determine their remuneration, until the next
annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Company

Under the Companies Law, the re-appointment of independent public accountants requires the approval of the shareholders of the Company.

On August 15, 2024, the Company’s Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) has recommended, and the Board has authorized and approved the re-appointment of Ziv Haft, a member firm of BDO (“BDO Israel”), as the independent auditor of the Company and recommends that the shareholders authorize the Board to determine their remuneration, until the next annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Company.

The Audit Committee has recommended, and the Board has determined that the re-appointment of BDO Israel as the independent auditor of the Company is appropriate and in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders, after examining, among other things, the scope of their work, their independency and the complexity and scope of the Company’s activities.

The Board determined, pursuant to the recommendation of the Audit Committee, that BDO Israel’s compensation is reasonable.

For additional information on the fees paid by the Company to BDO Israel in each of the previous two fiscal years, please see Item 16C ‘Principal Accountant Fees and Services’ in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 15, 2024.

The Board recommends that the shareholders of the Company adopt the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, to re-appoint Ziv Haft, a member firm of BDO, as the independent auditor of the Company, and to authorize the Board to determine their remuneration, until the next annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Company.”

The approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a Simple Majority (as defined in this Proxy Statement).

The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the above proposal.

PROPOSAL 2

To re- APPOINT Mr. Yaakov Goldman and MR. Eli Bachar, as Class II INDEPENDENT
directors of the Company

Under the Companies Law and the Company’s Articles, the management of the Company’s business is vested in the Board. The Board may exercise all powers and may take all actions that are not specifically granted to the Company’s shareholders.

The Articles provide that the Company may have at least three (3) and not more than twelve (12) directors.

Under regulations promulgated pursuant to the Companies Law, a company with no controlling shareholder whose shares are listed for trading on specified exchanges outside of Israel, including the Nasdaq Capital Market, may adopt exemptions from various corporate governance requirements of the Companies Law, so long as such company satisfies the requirements of applicable foreign country laws and regulations, including applicable stock exchange rules, that apply to companies organized in that country and relating to the election of independent directors and the composition of audit and compensation committees. Such exemptions include an exemption from the requirement to elect external directors and the requirement that an external director be a member of certain committees, as well as exemption from limitations on directors’ compensation. Due to the fact the Company does not currently have a controlling shareholder, the Board adopted the corporate governance exemption as mentioned above and therefore is not required to have external directors as members of its Board.

The Board currently consists of five (5) directors divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. Each class of directors consists, as practically as possible, of one-third (1/3) of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board. At each annual general meeting of the Company’s shareholders, the re-election of directors following the expiration of the term of office of the directors of that class of directors is for a term of office that expires as of the date of the third annual general meeting following such election or re-election. Therefore, at each annual general meeting, the term of office of only one class of directors expires. Each director holds office until the annual general meeting of the Company’s shareholders in which his or her term expires, unless he or she is removed in accordance with the Companies Law and the Articles.

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Company’s directors are divided among three classes as follows:

	(i)	The Company’s Class I independent director is Ms. Ilana Lurie, whose current term expire at the Company’s 2026 annual general meeting of shareholders and until her successor is elected and qualified;

	(ii)	The Company’s Class II independent directors are Mr. Yaakov Goldman and Mr. Eli Bachar, whose current terms expire at this Meeting and until their successors shall have been elected and qualified; and

	(iii)	The Company’s Class III directors are Mr. Asher Dahan and Mr. Guy Wagner, whose current terms expire at the Company’s 2025 annual general meeting of shareholders and until their successors shall have been elected and qualified.

The Company’s Board Diversity Matrix pursuant to Nasdaq’s Rule 5605(f) is available on the Company’s website at the following address: https://www.wearabledevices.co.il/_files/ugd/fd494d_b8bd0202161346f58cfc2d669130c313.pdf

The Board recommends to the shareholders to re-appoint Mr. Yaakov Goldman and Mr. Eli Bachar to serve on the Board, as Class II independent directors, for a three-year term continuing until the Company’s 2027 annual general meeting of shareholders and until their successor is elected and qualified and recommends their re-appointment. In addition, the Board has determined that each of Mr. Goldman and Mr. Bachar meet the qualification of an independent director, as defined under the Nasdaq Rules.

Mr. Goldman and Mr. Bachar, whose professional backgrounds are provided below, both advised the Company that they are willing, able and ready to serve as Class II independent directors if elected. Additionally, in accordance with the Companies Law, each of Mr. Goldman and Mr. Bachar certified to the Company that they meet all the requirements of the Companies Law for appointment as directors of a public company, that they possess the necessary qualifications and have sufficient time to fulfill their duties as directors of the Company, considering the size and needs of the Company.

In their capacity as members of the Board and if reappointed at the Meeting, each of Mr. Goldman and Mr. Bachar will continue to be entitled to the same fixed fee as other non-executive directors of the Company, in the amount of NIS 2,680 (approximately $725¹) per meeting, NIS 10,010 (approximately $2,700) per quarter, and NIS 40,040 (approximately $ 10,800) per year.

The above-described compensation for Mr. Goldman and Mr. Bachar is in accordance with the Company’s compensation policy for directors and officers.

If re-elected at the Meeting, each of Mr. Goldman and Mr. Bachar will continue to benefit from the indemnification agreement, substantially in the form of those previously entered into with the Company’s members of the Board, as well as from the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, as in effect from time to time.

A copy of the indemnification agreement is available for review and was attached as exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s annual report for the year ended on December 31, 2023, which was reported on a form 20-F on SEC’s EDGAR system on March 15, 2024.

PROPOSAL 3

TO APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S COMPENSATION
POLICY FOR COMPANY’S OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

Pursuant to the Companies Law, all public Israeli companies are required to adopt a written compensation policy for their executives, which addresses certain items prescribed by the Companies Law and serves as a flexible framework for executive and director compensation. Accordingly, on March 6, 2022, the Company adopted a compensation policy, for a period of five (5) years, as amended, by an approval of the shareholders of the Company (the “Current Compensation Policy”).

On August 15, 2024, the Board decided to implement an efficiency plan to decrease the Company’s expenses and burn rate, which may include, inter alia, exchanging accrued and unpaid cash salary to the Company’s employees and officers with equity-based compensation (the “Efficiency Plan”). In addition, the Board wishes to update the Current Compensation Policy in accordance with current market standards.

Therefore, on August 15, 2024, the Company’s compensation committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) and the Board, approved and recommended to the shareholders of the Company to approve, the adoption of an amendment to the Current Compensation Policy, which presents the following changes (the “Amended Compensation Policy”):

In such case, the calculation of the Awards value in comparison to the basic salary will be up to two (2) times of the basic salary for the relevant month.
2.5.6.2(a) (Insurance, indemnification, and exemption)	The limit of insurer’s liability under the insurance policy shall not exceed $15,000,000 per claim and during the insurance period covered by that policy, plus reasonable litigation expenses in excess of the abovementioned limit.	The limit of insurer’s liability under the insurance policy shall not exceed $30,000,000 per claim and during the insurance period covered by that policy, plus reasonable litigation expenses in excess of the abovementioned limit.
2.11.1.7(1) (Long-term compensation)	Footnote Added: The calculation of the maximum annual value of such grant will take into consideration all previous grants’ value to the office holder in each year.

2.11

(Long-term compensation)

The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors (and in relation to the CEO or directors, as required by applicable law) may decide to exchange accrued and unpaid cash salary given to office holders, including controlling shareholders and/or relatives of controlling shareholders (if applicable and only in the event described in this section 2.11.2), with RSUs or any other equity-based compensation in accordance with the Company’s than in effect equity incentive plans (the “Exchanged equity-based compensation”).

All other relevant terms will be as specified in section 2.11.1 above.

2.11.3. Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Without derogating from section 2.5.2 and section 2.11.2 above, subject to applicable law and any additional approval as may be required by applicable law, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors, may adopt, from time to time, an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (or “ESPP”), or any similar plan (and to amend such plans), for the purpose of enabling, among others, office holders and directors of the Company, to use payroll deductions to purchase the Company’s ordinary shares, and thereby acquire an ownership interest in the Company. The terms of such acquisitions shall be determined and described within such plans.

2.15

(Recoupment Policy)

The Compensation Committee will be responsible for approving the amounts to be recouped and for setting terms for such recoupment from time to time.

The Compensation Committee will be responsible for approving the amounts to be recouped and for setting terms for such recoupment from time to time in accordance with a recoupment policy adopted from time to time by the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors. Any recoupment under this Section 2.15 may be in addition to (and not limited by) any other remedies or rights of recoupment available to the Company pursuant to the terms of any similar policy or under applicable law.

In making their decision to approve the adoption of the Amended Compensation Policy, the Compensation Committee and the Board considered numerous factors, including (i) the Company’s business plan and its long-term strategy and its Efficiency Plan; (ii) that it is in the best interest of the Company to decrease its expenses; (iii) market standards; and (iv) the Company’s risk management, size and the nature of its operations.

Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Current Compensation Policy.

The shareholders of the Company are requested to adopt the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, to approve and adopt the Amended Compensation Policy for the Company’s directors and officers, in the form attached as Exhibit A to the Proxy Statement.”

The approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a Special Majority (as defined in this Proxy Statement).

The Board unanimously recommends that the shareholders vote FOR the above proposal.

PROPOSAL 9

TO APPROVE A REVERSE SPLIT OF THE COMPANY’S ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING
ORDINARY SHARES AT A RATIO OF BETWEEN 10:1 AND 20:1, TO BE IN EFFECT, IF
EFFECTED, AT THE DISCRETION OF, AND AT SUCH DATE TO BE DETERMINED BY THE
BOARD, AND TO CANCEL THE NOMINAL VALUE OF THE COMPANY’S ORDINARY SHARES
AND TO AMEND THE COMPANY’S CURRENT ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION TO REFLECT
THE SAME

Reverse split to the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares

As first reported in the Company’s Report of Foreign Price Issuer on Form 6-K furnished to the SEC on October 24, 2023, the Company received a notification letter from Nasdaq on October 24, 2023 (the “Nasdaq Notice”), notifying the Company that based on the 30 consecutive business days preceding the date of the Nasdaq Notice, the Company is no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules for meeting the minimum $1.00 bid price per share requirement (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). Therefore, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company was provided an initial 180 calendar days, or until April 22, 2024, to regain compliance.

As reported in on the Company’s Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K furnished to the SEC on April 24, 2024, the Company received a notification letter from Nasdaq (together with the Nasdaq Notice, the “Nasdaq Notices”) notifying the Company that the Company has been granted an additional 180-day compliance period, or until October 21, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement (the “Second Compliance Period”).

The Nasdaq Notices had no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s Ordinary Shares, which continued to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “WLDS.”

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Company has not yet come into compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules for meeting the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and there can be no assurance that the closing bid price for the Company’s Ordinary Shares will be compliant within the Second Compliance Period.

The Board believes that the continued listing of the Company’s Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq will enable the Company to have better access to the public capital markets while providing for greater liquidity for the Company’s shareholders. In addition, the Board believes that a reverse share split is advisable in order to make the Company’s Ordinary Shares more attractive to a broader range of investors.

Therefore, on June 5, 2024, and on August 15, 2024, the Board approved, subject to the approval of the general meeting of the Company’s shareholders, a framework for a potential adjustment of the Company’s share capital at a ratio of between 1-for-10 and 1-for-20, with respect to the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, such that every ten (10) to twenty (20) Ordinary Shares shall be converted into one (1) Ordinary Share, and/or any Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to exercise or conversion of outstanding options, restricted share units and/or warrants issued by the Company, to be effected, if effected, at the discretion of, and at such date to be determined by the Board (the “Reverse Split”).

If the Reverse Split is approved, then the Board will have the authority, at its own discretion, to determine whether to effect the Reverse Split, and the exact ratio and the effective date of the Reverse Split. Following such determination by the Board, the Company will issue a press release announcing the effective date and the ratio of the Reverse Split.

The Board believes that approval of a proposal providing the Board with this generalized grant of authority with respect to setting the Reverse Split ratio, rather than mere approval of a pre-defined reverse stock split, will give the Board the flexibility to set the ratio in accordance with current market conditions and therefore allow the Board to act in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

The implementation of the Reverse Split will result in the reduction of the number of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares in accordance with the exchange ratio (between 10:1 and 20:1), such that if the Reverse Split is approved, depending on the ratio, every ten (10) Ordinary Shares and up to twenty (20) Ordinary Shares, issued and outstanding, shall be converted into one (1) Ordinary Share. The Reverse Split, if effected, would not adjust the authorized share capital of the Company under our Articles, which, as of the date hereof consists of 50,000,000 Ordinary Shares.

In addition, if the Reverse Split is effected, the exercise price and the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of any outstanding options, RSUs and/or warrants will be proportionately adjusted pursuant to the terms of the respective securities in connection with the Reverse Split. Furthermore, upon completion of the Reverse Split, the number of Ordinary Shares and/or any options or restricted share units available for issuance under the ESPP, the 2015 Plan and the 2024 Plan (as defined below) shall be appropriately adjusted.

The Reverse Split, if effected, will be effected simultaneously for all of the Company’s securities, and the exchange ratio will be the same for all securities. The Reverse Split will affect all the Company’s shareholders uniformly and will not affect any shareholder’s percentage ownership interests in the Company, relative voting rights or other rights. Ordinary Shares resulting from the Reverse Split will remain fully paid and non-assessable.

No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Split. In accordance with our Articles, all fractional shares will be rounded to the nearest whole Ordinary Share, such that only shareholders holding fractional consolidated shares of more than half of the number of shares which consolidation constitutes one whole share, shall be entitled to receive one consolidated share.

Upon the implementation of the Reverse Split, the Company intends to treat shares held by shareholders through a bank, broker, custodian, or other nominee in the same manner as registered shareholders whose shares are registered in their names. Banks, brokers, custodians, or other nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Split for their beneficial holders holding the Company’s Ordinary Shares in street name. However, these banks, brokers, custodians, or other nominees may have different procedures than registered shareholders for processing the Reverse Split. Shareholders who hold the Company’s Ordinary Shares with a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee and who have any queries in this regard are encouraged to contact their banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees.

While the Board believes that the potential advantages of a Reverse Split outweigh any actual or potential disadvantages, if the Company does effect a Reverse Split there can be no assurance that (i) the Company’s Ordinary Shares will trade at a price in proportion to the decrease in the number of outstanding shares resulting from the Reverse Split; (ii) the liquidity of the Company’s Ordinary Shares will not be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding and available for trading after the Reverse Split; (iii) engaging in a Reverse Split will not be perceived in a negative manner by investors, analysts or other stock market participants; or (iv) the Reverse Split will not result in some shareholders owning “odd-lots” of fewer than 100 Ordinary Shares, potentially resulting in higher brokerage commissions and other transaction costs than the commissions and costs of transactions in “round-lots” of even multiples of 100 shares.

THE U.S. AND ISRAELI TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE SPLIT MAY DEPEND UPON THE PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES OF EACH SHAREHOLDER. ACCORDINGLY, EACH SHAREHOLDER IS ADVISED TO CONSULT THE SHAREHOLDER’S TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO ALL OF THE POTENTIAL TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THE SHAREHOLDER OF THE REVERSE SPLIT

The Board believes that the Reverse Split is appropriate and in the best interest of the Company’s shareholders.

Cancelation of the nominal value of the Company’s Ordinary Shares

As of the date hereof, the Company’s authorized share capital is NIS 500,000 divided into 50,000,000 Ordinary Shares, par value NIS 0.01 each.

On June 5, 2024, the Board recommended for approval by the general meeting of the Company’s shareholders, the cancelation of the nominal value of the Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, after giving effect to the cancelation of the nominal value of the Company’s Ordinary Shares, the authorized share capital of the Company will be divided into 50,000,000 Ordinary Shares, no par value per share (the “Cancelation of Nominal Value”).

An amendment to the Company’s Articles that reflects the Cancelation of Nominal Value, is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

The Board believes that the Cancelation of Nominal Value is advisable, among other things, in order to give the Company greater flexibility in considering and planning for future potential business and financing needs, and therefore is in the Company’s and in the Company’s shareholders’ best interests.

The shareholders of the Company are requested to adopt the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, to approve a reverse share split of the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares at a ratio of between 10:1 and 20:1, to be effected, if effected, at the discretion of and on such date to be determined by the Board, and to approve the cancelation of the nominal value of the Company’s Ordinary Shares and to amend the Company’s Articles to reflect the same, as set forth in the Proxy Statement”.

The approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a Simple Majority (as defined in this Proxy Statement).

The Board unanimously recommends that the shareholders vote FOR the above proposal.

PROPOSAL 10

TO APPROVE THE U.S. ADDENDUM TO THE COMPANY’S 2024 GLOBAL EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

The Company maintains two equity incentive plans, the 2015 Plan (as defined above) and the Wearable Devices Ltd. 2024 Global Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”). As of August 21, 2024, the number of options allocated in the 2015 Plan is 1,916,089. In addition, the number of options that have vested and have not yet been exercised or expired in the 2015 Plan is 1,358,272.

The Company’s 2015 Plan was adopted in September 2015 and expires in September 2025. The Company’s employees, directors, consultants, service providers and any other person or entity whose services are considered valuable to the Company are eligible to participate in the 2015 Plan. The 2024 Plan was adopted by the Board on August 15, 2024, and expires on August 14, 2034.

The 2024 Plan provides for the reservation from time-to-time, out of the Company’s authorized unissued share capital, such number of Ordinary Shares, as the Board deems appropriate. The Board has initially authorized the issuance of up to 4,570,606 Ordinary Shares under the 2024 Plan. The 2024 Plan provides for the grant of options, shares, restricted shares or restricted share units to employees, non-employee directors, consultants, advisors, or service providers of the Company, as well as employees, non-employee directors, consultants, advisors, or service providers of any affiliate of the Company. The 2024 Plan includes an Annex (the “U.S. Addendum”) that governs the grants of awards to employees and other service providers who are citizens or resident aliens of the United States.

The U.S. Addendum governs grants of awards under the 2024 Plan to employees, non-employees and other service providers who are United States citizens or who are resident aliens of the United States for United States federal tax purposes and permits the grant of incentive stock options (“ISOs”), nonqualified stock options and RSUs. The U.S. Addendum includes a total of 500,000 Ordinary Shares available for issuance underlying grants of ISOs.

According to U.S. tax law, the Company is required to obtain the approval of the shareholders of the Company for the U.S. Addendum and its ISO provisions, within twelve (12) months from the adoption date of the U.S. Addendum. The U.S. Addendum to the 2024 Plan is attached as Exhibit C hereto.

The shareholders of the Company are requested to adopt the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, to approve the U.S. Addendum to the Company’s 2024 Plan”.

The approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a Simple Majority (as defined in this Proxy Statement).

The Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR on the above proposal.

PROPOSAL 11

TO APPROVE THE ADOPTION OF THE COMPANY’S 2024 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

Background

As part of the implementation of the Efficiency Plan and in order, among other things, to assist the Company with reducing its costs and improve its cash-balance, on August 15, 2024, the Compensation Committee and the Board adopted the 2024 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), subject to shareholders approval. The ESPP will become effective upon shareholders’ approval at the Meeting. The Company is seeking shareholder approval of the ESPP so that it may qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. In the event that the Company’s shareholders do not approve the ESPP, the ESPP will not become effective and no offerings under the ESPP will commence.

Purpose

The ESPP provides a way for eligible employees of the Company and its participating subsidiaries to become shareholders on favorable terms. For this purpose, a subsidiary is any corporation (including certain entities treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or that would be treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes if the entity were a domestic entity) in which the Company owns directly or indirectly at least fifty percent of the voting stock.

Each year there will be one or more “offering periods,” generally six months long, in which eligible employees may accumulate payroll deductions, up to a maximum of fifteen percent of their compensation. At the end of the offering period, each eligible employee’s accumulated deductions will be used to purchase Ordinary Shares. The price for shares purchased under the ESPP in any offering period is eighty-five percent of the lesser of the closing market price of Ordinary Shares at the beginning or end of the applicable offering period.

The Compensation Committee and Board believe that incentivizing employees to acquire an ownership interest in the Ordinary Shares, or increase an existing ownership interest, and aid the Company’s ability to recruit, hire and retain the individuals required to successfully execute the Company’s business plan and achieve strong performance in the future. Encouraging employee ownership of the Ordinary Shares provides an incentive for continued employment and helps align the interests of the Company’s employees with those of our shareholders.

The ESPP is intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code but may also include one or more non-United States subplans that may, but are not required, to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The maximum aggregate number of Ordinary Shares that may be purchased initially under the ESPP will not exceed 5,000,000 Ordinary Shares (which is 21.9% of the outstanding 22,853,030 Ordinary Shares as of August 21, 2024) (the “ESPP Share Pool”), subject to adjustments as provided for in the ESPP. An increase of the ESPP Share Pool is subject to further shareholders’ approval.

The ESPP Share Pool represents approximately 13.3% of our fully diluted share capital as of August 21, 2024. In establishing the ESPP Share Pool, our Board considered the potential dilutive impact on shareholders, the projected participation rate. For information about options and other equity awards outstanding under our existing equity plans and the number of shares available for issuance under these plans, each as of December 31, 2023, please see “Item 6.C. Board Practices — Share Option Plan” of the 2023 Annual Report, and Proposal No. 10 above.

The ESPP is attached as Exhibit D hereto. The following description of certain features of the ESPP is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the ESPP.

Summary of the ESPP

Administration. The ESPP shall be administered by the Board or by a share award compensation committee (the “Committee”), if appointed by the Board. The Committee will have the authority to interpret and determine eligibility under the ESPP, prescribe forms, rules and procedures relating to the ESPP, and otherwise do all things necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of the ESPP.

Shares Subject to the ESPP. As noted above, the ESPP Share Pool will initially consist 5,000,000 Ordinary Shares, subject to the adjustments as provided for in the ESPP. Ordinary Shares delivered upon exercise of purchase rights under the ESPP may be authorized but unissued or reacquired Ordinary Shares, including shares repurchased by the Company on the open market. In the event of certain changes in our outstanding Ordinary Shares, including changes by reason of a share dividend, share split, reverse share split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, or other capital change, the aggregate number and type of shares available for purchase under the ESPP, the number and type of shares granted or purchasable during an offering period, and the purchase price per share under an outstanding purchase right shall be equitably adjusted as determined appropriate by the Committee.

If any purchase right granted under the ESPP terminates without having been exercised in full, the Ordinary Shares not purchased under such purchase right will again become available for issuance under the ESPP.

Eligibility. An employee shall be eligible to participate in the ESPP on any offering date on which the employee is employed by the Company or participating subsidiaries for at least six months; provided, however, that no employee shall be eligible to participate : (a) at the beginning of the offering period the aggregate amount of Ordinary Shares the employee would be considered to own under Section 424(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, including Ordinary Shares that may be purchased with outstanding options, would represent five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of capital stock of the Company or of any subsidiary; or (b) the employee’s right to purchase Ordinary Shares under all employee stock purchase plans (within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code) of the Company and its subsidiaries accrues at a rate that exceeds $25,000 for any calendar year, determined by reference to the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares at the beginning of the offering period.

General Terms of Participation

●

An employee may become a participant in any offering by completing an authorization for payroll deductions in connection with the offering at such time (prior to the offering date) and in such manner as the Committee may prescribe. Payroll deductions pursuant to an authorization shall commence with the payroll period in which the offering date occurs and shall end with the last payroll completed prior to the exercise date for the offering to which the authorization applies, unless the authorization is sooner terminated by the participant as provided in the ESPP. All payroll deductions shall be made on an after-tax basis.

●

A participant shall elect in the authorization for payroll deduction to have deductions made from his or her compensation on each payday in an amount equal to a whole percentage of from one to 15% of his or her compensation. All payroll deductions made for a participant shall be credited to a bookkeeping account maintained for such participant under the ESPP. In no event shall interest be paid to a participant with respect to payroll deductions credited to the participant’s account, whether such deductions are used in connection with the purchase of shares or are returned to the participant or the participant’s estate in cash.

●

Except as may be required by law, a participant may not make any payments to the participant’s account other than by authorization for payroll deduction. A participant may elect to decrease the payroll deduction rate at such time and in such manner as the Committee may prescribe. In no event shall a participant increase the amount of payroll deductions during an offering. A participant may discontinue participation in the offering as provided in the ESPP.

●

The Committee may provide for a separate election or different percentages or another method of payment under a subplan to the extent payroll deductions may not otherwise be practicable or permitted in a particular jurisdiction. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, payroll deductions and any equivalents thereto may be accumulated in the local currency applicable under a subplan.

●

Except to the extent that doing so would jeopardize the status of the ESPP as an employee stock purchase plan within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, an employee outside the United States may be excluded from the ESPP (a) if their participation is prohibited under local law, (b) if complying with local law would cause the ESPP (other than a subplan) to violate the requirements of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, (c) if their participation would result in adverse tax consequences to the employee under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code or (d) for such other reason(s) as the Committee may in its discretion determine.

●

No participant shall have rights as a shareholder with respect to Ordinary Shares until the shares are delivered and, except as otherwise provided in Section 15 to the ESPP, no adjustment shall be made for dividends of which the record date precedes the applicable purchase date.

●

The option price of shares for any offering shall be determined by the Committee and announced from time to time in advance of the commencement of an offering, but in no event shall the option price be less than the lesser of: (a) 85 percent of the fair market value of the shares on the offering date; or (b) 85 percent of the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date.

Assignability. Purchase rights granted to participants under the ESPP are not assignable or transferable, other than by will, or the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

Amendment and Termination of the ESPP. The Board has the right at any time to terminate the ESPP, and also has the right to amend the ESPP to any extent and in any manner, it may deem advisable, provided approval of the Company’s shareholders shall be required for any amendment as specified in the ESPP, or as required by applicable law.

Sub-Plans. The Board may adopt such rules, procedures and sub-plans as are necessary or appropriate to permit or facilitate participation in the ESPP by eligible employees who are non-U.S. nationals or employed or located outside the United States.

Effective Date and Term. If the ESPP is approved by shareholders at the Meeting, the ESPP will become effective on the date of the Meeting. No purchase rights will be granted under the ESPP after the earlier to occur of the date on which all shares available for issuance under the ESPP have been issued or the termination of the ESPP by the Company.

Summary of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences Relating to the ESPP

The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences associated with the grant and exercise of purchase rights under the ESPP under current federal tax laws and certain other tax considerations associated with purchase rights under the ESPP. The summary does not address tax rates or non-U.S., State, or local tax consequences, nor does it address employment tax or other federal tax consequences except as noted.

In general, an employee will not recognize U.S. taxable income until the sale or other disposition of the Ordinary Shares purchased under the ESPP (the “ESPP Shares”). Upon such sale or disposition, the employee will generally be subject to tax in an amount that depends on the employee’s holding period with respect to the ESPP Shares.

Employees will incur a U.S. federal income tax liability when they dispose of ordinary shares purchased under the Plan during their lifetime. For this purpose, a “disposition” of shares includes not only a sale, but also a gift, exchange or transfer of legal title. The amount of the tax will depend on the length of time they owned the ESPP Shares before the sale or other disposition.

●

If the employee sells or disposes of ESPP Shares more than one year from the date of purchase and more than two years after the first day of the offering period in which they were purchased, the employee will recognize ordinary income in an amount generally equal to the lesser of: (i) an amount equal to 15% of the fair market value of the ESPP Shares on the first day of the offering period (or such other percentage equal to the applicable purchase price discount), and (ii) the excess of the sale price of the ESPP Shares over the purchase price. The Company is not entitled to a corresponding income tax deduction. Any additional gain will be treated as long-term capital gain. If the ESPP Shares held for the periods described above are sold and the sale price is less than the purchase price, then the employee will recognize a long-term capital loss in an amount equal to the excess of the purchase price over the sale price of the ESPP Shares.

●

If the employee sells or disposes of ESPP Shares before the expiration of the holding periods described above, which we refer to as a “disqualifying disposition,” the employee generally will recognize as ordinary income (and subject to withholding on) an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the ESPP Shares on the date the ESPP Shares were purchased over the purchase price. In this situation, the Company is entitled to a corresponding income tax deduction. Any additional gain or loss on such sale or disposition will be long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on the employee’s holding period with respect to the ESPP Shares.

If an employee does not dispose of the stock before death, the employee is treated as having ordinary income in the year of death in an amount equal to the lower of (a) fifteen percent of the market price of the shares at the beginning of the offering period in which they were purchased; or (b) the excess, if any, of the market price of the shares at the date of his death over the purchase price of the shares under the ESPP. The Company is not entitled to an income tax deduction with respect to the ordinary income arising at an employee’s death.

U.S. stockholders who are individuals, estates or trusts are generally required to pay a 3.8% tax on their net investment income (including dividends on and gains from the sale or other disposition of our shares), or in the case of estates and trusts on their net investment income that is not distributed, in each case to the extent that their modified adjusted gross income exceeds applicable thresholds.

In making its recommendation with regard to the approval of the ESPP, the Compensation Committee and the Board each have also considered, inter alia: (i) the Company’s cash balance; (ii) the Company’s work plan, budget, long-term strategy and the Company’s Efficiency Plan; (iii) that it is in the best interest of the Company to decrease its expenses; (iv) the Company’s risk management, size and the nature of its operations; and (v) that the approval of the ESPP is in accordance with the Amended Compensation Policy.

The Board believes that the approval of the ESPP is appropriate and in the best interest of the Company’s shareholders.

Dated: ~~March 2022~~August 2024

Introduction

1.1

Pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Law, 1999 (hereafter – “the Companies Law”), on March 6, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a compensation policy (hereafter – the “Policy”) with respect to the terms of service and / or employment of Company’s office holders (as defined below) (hereafter - the “office holders”), after discussing and considering the recommendations of the Company’s Compensation Committee regarding this matter.

1.2

The provisions of the Policy shall be subject to the provisions of any cogent law applicable to the Company and its office holders in any territory.

1.3

The underlying principles and purposes of the Policy are as follows: (a) promoting the Company’s goals, its work plan and its policy for the long-term; (b) compensating and providing incentives to office holders, while considering the risks that the Company’s activities involve; (c) adjusting the compensation package to the size of the Company and the nature and scope of its activities; (d) creating incentives that are suitable to Company’s office holders by compensating those entitled for compensation under the Policy in accordance with their positions, areas of responsibility and contribution to the development of the Company’s business, the promotion of its targets and the maximization of profits in the short and long-term, taking into account, among other things, the need to recruit and retain qualified, highly-skilled officers in a global and competitive market; and (e) adjusting the compensation of office holders to the contribution of the office holder to the achievement of the Company’s goals.

1.4

This Policy is a multi-annual policy that will be effective for a period of five years from the date of its approval.

1.5

Without derogating from the provisions set out in Section 1.4 above, the Company’s Compensation Committee and Board of Directors shall check, from time to time, whether the compensation that is granted under this policy, does, indeed, comply with the terms of this policy and the parameters set therein for each Company office holder.

1.6

This Policy is based, among other things, on the Company’s assessments as to the competitive environment in which it operates and the challenge it faces in recruiting and retaining high-quality officers in such an environment; it is also based on employment terms generally accepted in public companies operating in the Company’s area of activity and on existing employment agreements between the Company and its office holder, which – in order to remove any doubt – this policy cannot change.

An amount paid to an office holder other than an Active Chairman, as monthly consultation fees (in respect of which an invoice is issued), which is up to 1.3 times higher than the maximum basic salary set for his position, shall not be considered to be a deviation from the Policy.

The amounts presented above are in respect of a full-time position; those amounts shall change in proportion to the scope of position of the office holder.

Subject to the provisions of the law, as amended from time to time, and without detracting from the provisions of section 2.5.6.1 above, the Company’s office holders shall be entitled to benefit from coverage provided by a liability insurance of directors and office holders, which the Company will purchase from time to time, subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee alone (and the approval of the Board of Directors, if required by law), provided that the insurance policy meets the following criteria and provided that the engagement with the insurer is entered into under market conditions and will not have a material effect on the Company’s profitability, its assets or liabilities:

Such cover will be subject to priorities for payment of any insurance benefits according to which the rights of the Directors and Officers to receive indemnity from the Insurer's take precedence over the right of the Company itself.

For that purpose, the “effective shareholders’ equity of the Company” means the amount of the Company’s shareholders’ equity in accordance with the last consolidated audited or reviewed financial statements of the Company (as applicable) at the time of actual payment of the indemnification.

The Purchase Price of each Option shall be as specified by the Committee in its discretion; provided, however, that the Purchase Price shall be at least 100 percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date on which the Board grants the Option, which shall be considered the date of grant of the Option for purposes of fixing the Purchase Price; and provided, further, that the Purchase Price with respect to an ISO granted to an Employee who at the time of grant owns (directly or under the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code) stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any ISO Corporation shall be at least 110 percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant of the ISO.

C-3

(c) Method of Exercise. To the extent that it has become exercisable under the terms of the Award Agreement, an Option may be exercised from time to time in accordance with the Plan by providing notice pursuant to the provisions of Section 7 of the Plan and stating the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and accompanied by payment of the Purchase Price in a manner provided by the Plan or Award Agreement, as applicable. If the Grantee fails to pay for or to accept delivery of all or any part of the number of Shares specified in his or her notice upon tender of delivery thereof, his or her right to exercise the Option with respect to those Shares not paid for or accepted shall be terminated, unless the Company otherwise agrees.

Notwithstanding Section 5 of the Plan, in no event shall the “net exercise” method be used to exercise an ISO.

(d) Notice of ISO Stock Disposition. The Grantee must notify the Company promptly in the event that he or she sells, transfers, exchanges or otherwise disposes of any Shares issued upon exercise of an ISO before the later of (i) the second anniversary of the date of grant of the ISO or (ii) the first anniversary of the date the shares were issued upon his or her exercise of the ISO.

(e) Effect of Cessation of Employment or Service Relationship. The Committee shall determine in its discretion and specify in each Award Agreement the effect, if any, of the termination of the Grantee’s employment with or performance of services for the Company or any Affiliate on the exercisability of the Option. Because the special United States federal tax rules applicable to ISOs are not generally available to an Option otherwise eligible for ISO treatment if it is exercised at any time later than three (3) months following termination of employment with the Company or an ISO Corporation (one (1) year in the event of death or disability within the meaning of Section 22(e)(4) of the Code), such an Option (if otherwise exercisable and actually exercised beyond the three (3) month or one (1) year period, as applicable) shall be treated as an NSO upon exercise, rather than an ISO, for United States federal tax purposes.

(f) No Rights as Shareholder. A Grantee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares covered by an Option until the date of issuance of a share certificate with respect to, or a book entry record of, the Shares. No adjustment shall be made for dividends, bonus shares or other rights for which the record date is earlier than the date the stock certificate is issued or book entry record is made, other than as required or permitted by the Plan; provided, however, that in no event shall an adjustment be made that would otherwise result in a loss of ISO status or result in adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code.

(g) Transferability of Option. Except as permitted by the Committee, and set forth in the terms of a Grantee’s Award Agreement, an Option shall not be assignable or transferable by the Grantee except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the life of the Grantee, an Option shall be exercisable only by the Grantee, by a conservator or guardian duly appointed for the Grantee by reason of Grantee’s incapacity or by the person appointed by the Grantee in a durable power of attorney acceptable to the Company’s counsel.

Restricted Share Units

(a) Delivery. In the case of a U.S. Person, settlement of an RSU shall occur no later than the fifteenth day of the third month following the close of the year in which the Vesting Date occurs; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its sole discretion and at the time of grant, provide for the further deferral of payment in an applicable Award Agreement.

(b) Transactions. In the case of outstanding Restricted Share Units that constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code: (i) if the Award Agreement provides that the Restricted Share Units shall be settled upon a change in control event within the meaning of United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5), and the Transaction constitutes such a change in control event, then no assumption or substitution shall be permitted and the Restricted Share Units shall instead be settled in accordance with the terms of the applicable Award Agreement; and (ii) the Committee may only undertake actions pursuant to its authority in Section 6 of the Plan if the action is permitted or required by Section 409A of the Code without adverse tax consequences to the Grantee.

C-4

Requirements of Law

All other provisions of this Annex and the Plan notwithstanding, this Annex and the Plan shall be administered and construed so as to avoid any person who receives an Award incurring any adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code. The Committee shall suspend the application of any provisions of the Plan that could, in its sole determination, result in an adverse tax consequence to any person under Section 409A of the Code.

Forfeiture for Dishonesty or Termination for Cause

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the Board determines, after full consideration of the facts, that

(a) the Grantee has been engaged in fraud, embezzlement, theft or commission of a felony in the course of his or her employment by or involvement with the Company or has made unauthorized disclosure of trade secrets or other proprietary information of the Company or of a third party who has entrusted such information to the Company, or

(b) the Grantee has violated the terms of any employment, non-competition, non-solicitation or proprietary information agreement (each to the extent not otherwise prohibited under applicable law of the states) to which he or she is a party,

then the Grantee’s rights with respect to an Award shall terminate as of the date of such act, the Grantee shall forfeit all unexercised Awards and shall be required to sell to the Company or, in the case the Company is not allowed to repurchase its own shares, to a third party approved by the Company, all or any part of the Shares acquired by the Grantee prior to such event, at a price equal to the lesser of their Fair Market Value or the amount paid to the Company upon such transfer or exercise. If a Grantee whose behavior the Company asserts falls within the provisions of (a) or (b) above has exercised or attempts to exercise an Award prior to consideration of the application of this Section 8, the Company shall not be required to recognize such exercise until the Board has made its decision and, in the event any exercise shall have taken place, it shall be of no force and effect (and shall be void ab initio) if the Board makes an adverse determination; provided, however, that if the Board finds in favor of the Grantee then the Grantee will be deemed to have exercised the Award retroactively as of the date he or she originally gave notice of his or her attempt to exercise or actual exercise, as the case may be. The decision of the Board as to the cause of a Grantee’s discharge and the damage done to the Company shall be final, binding and conclusive. No decision of the Board, however, shall affect in any manner the finality of the discharge of such Grantee by the Company. For purposes of this Section 8, reference to the Company shall include any Affiliate.

Tax Withholding

To the extent required by law, the Company may withhold or cause to be withheld income and other taxes with respect to any income recognized by a Grantee by reason of the issuance, exercise or settlement of an Award, and as a condition to the receipt of any Award the Grantee shall agree that if the amount payable to him or her by the Company and any Affiliate in the ordinary course is insufficient to pay such taxes, then he or she shall upon the request of the Company pay to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy its tax.

ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

Unless the Board shall designate another person or persons, the Plan shall be administered by the Committee. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan.

The Committee shall have the authority to adopt, amend and rescind such rules and regulations as, in its opinion, may be advisable in the administration of the Plan.

The Committee shall also have the authority to determine whether any accumulated payroll deductions remaining in a Participant’s account after the close of an Offering shall be carried forward for use in the next Offering (if the Participant will participate in that Offering) or paid to the Participant in cash, without regard to the reason such accumulated amount exists. The Committee shall further have the right to use different approaches for different reasons; provided, however, that the same approach will be applied to all Participants affected by the same reason.

D-4

OPTION SHARES

The total amount of Shares with respect to which Options may be granted under the Plan shall not exceed in the aggregate 5,000,000 Shares from either authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares; provided, however, that such aggregate number of Shares shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 15. If any outstanding Option expires for any reason, including a withdrawal pursuant to Section 10, or terminates by reason of the severance of employment of the Participant or any other cause, or is surrendered, the Shares allocable to the unexercised portion of the Option may again be made subject to an Option under the Plan.

ELIGIBILITY

An Employee shall be eligible to become a Participant in the Plan on any Offering Date on which the Employee is employed by the Company or a Subsidiary; provided, however, that no Employee shall be granted an Option:

(a) if immediately after the grant the aggregate amount of Shares the Employee would be considered to own under Section 424(d) of the Code, including Shares that may be purchased with outstanding options, would represent five percent or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of capital stock of the Company or of any Subsidiary; or

(b) that permits the Employee’s right to purchase shares under all employee stock purchase plans (within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code) of the Company and its Subsidiaries to accrue at a rate that exceeds $25,000 for any calendar year, determined by reference to the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the time any Option is granted.

PARTICIPATION

(a) An Employee may become a Participant in any Offering by completing an authorization for payroll deductions in connection with the Offering at such time (prior to the Offering Date) and in such manner as the Committee may prescribe. Payroll deductions pursuant to an authorization shall commence with the payroll period in which the Offering Date occurs and shall end with the last payroll completed prior to the Exercise Date for the Offering to which the authorization applies, unless the authorization is sooner terminated by the Participant as provided in Section 10. All payroll deductions shall be made on an after-tax basis.

(b) A Participant shall elect in the authorization for payroll deduction to have deductions made from his or her Compensation on each payday in an amount equal to a whole percentage of from one to 15 percent of his or her Compensation. All payroll deductions made for a Participant shall be credited to a bookkeeping account maintained for such Participant under the Plan. In no event shall interest be paid to a Participant with respect to payroll deductions credited to the Participant’s account, whether such deductions are used in connection with the exercise of an Option or are returned to the Participant or the Participant’s estate in cash.

D-5

(c) Except as may be required by law, a Participant may not make any payments to the Participant’s account other than by authorization for payroll deduction. A Participant may elect to decrease the payroll deduction rate at such time and in such manner as the Committee may prescribe. In no event shall a Participant increase the amount of payroll deductions during an Offering. A Participant may discontinue participation in the Offering as provided in Section 10.

(d) The Committee may provide for a separate election or different percentages or another method of payment under a Sub-Plan to the extent payroll deductions may not otherwise be practicable or permitted in a particular jurisdiction. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, payroll deductions and any equivalents thereto may be accumulated in the local currency applicable under a Sub-Plan and converted to United States dollars on the Exercise Date.

(e) Except to the extent that doing so would jeopardize the status of the Plan as an employee stock purchase plan within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code, an Employee outside the United States may be excluded from the Plan (i) if their participation is prohibited under local law, (ii) if complying with local law would cause the Plan (other than a Sub-Plan) to violate the requirements of Section 423 of the Code, (iii) if their participation would result in adverse tax consequences to the Employee under Section 409A of the Code or (iv) for such other reason(s) as the Committee may in its discretion determine.

GRANT OF OPTIONS

(a) Options under the Plan shall be granted in a series of Offerings, the first of which shall begin on the first Offering Date designated by the Committee. Successive Offerings shall begin on each Offering Date thereafter until all of the Shares available under the Plan are exhausted or until the Plan is terminated pursuant to Section 19 or Section 20. Participation by an Employee in any Offering shall neither limit nor require his or her participation in any other Offering.

(b) Subject to any limitation otherwise provided under the Plan, each Participant in an Offering shall be granted, as of the applicable Offering Date, an Option to purchase that number of Shares that the accumulated payroll deductions credited to his or her account during the Offering are able to purchase at the Option Price.

(c) If the total number of Shares for which Options are to be granted as of any Offering Date exceeds the number of Shares available for the Offering, the Committee shall make a pro rata allocation of the available Shares in a manner as nearly uniform as practicable, and as it shall determine to be equitable. In the event a shortfall in Shares appears likely, the Committee may, but shall not be required to, reduce remaining payroll deductions to be made pursuant to authorizations for that Offering.

(d) In no event shall a Participant be permitted to acquire in any particular Offering more than that number of Shares equal to $25,000 divided by the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the first date of the Offering; provided, however, that such limit shall be further subject to the limit set forth in Section 5(b) and to any adjustment made in accordance with Section 15.

D-6

OPTION PRICE

The Option Price of Shares for any Offering shall be determined by the Committee and announced from time to time in advance of the commencement of an Offering, but in no event shall the Option Price be less than the lesser of: (a) 85 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Offering Date; or (b) 85 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Exercise Date.

EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

(a) A Participant’s Option for an Offering will be exercised automatically as of the Exercise Date for the Offering to purchase that number of Shares equal to the accumulated payroll deductions credited to the Participant’s account as of the Exercise Date divided by the Option Price.

(b) A Participant may elect prior to the Exercise Date at such time and in such manner as the Committee may prescribe to receive in cash an amount equal to the accumulated payroll deductions in his or her account on the Exercise Date, rather than exercising his or her Option.

(c) As promptly as practicable after each Exercise Date the Company shall deliver to each Participant in the Offering, in accordance with the Participant’s election, either (i) the Shares purchased upon the exercise of the Participant’s Option or (ii) a cash payment equal to the total of the payroll deductions credited to the Participant’s account during the Offering.

(d) The Shares purchased upon exercise of an Option shall be deemed to be transferred to the Participant on the Exercise Date.

(e) The Committee may, in its discretion, limit the Shares purchased in an Offering to whole Shares, in which event amounts representing fractional Shares may, at the discretion of the Committee, either be carried forward for use in the next Offering if the Participant will participate in that Offering or paid to the Participant in cash.

10.

WITHDRAWAL FROM OFFERING

A Participant may at any time prior to the Exercise Date at such time and in such manner as the Committee may prescribe withdraw from an Offering and request payment of an amount in cash equal to the accumulated payroll deductions credited to the Participant’s account under the Plan. Such amount will be paid to the Participant as promptly as practicable after receipt of the Participant’s request to withdraw, and no further payroll deductions will be made from the Participant’s Compensation with respect to the Offering then in progress and any outstanding Option shall be cancelled. A Participant’s withdrawal from an Offering will have no effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in any subsequent Offering or in any employee stock purchase plan (within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code) that may hereafter be adopted by the Company or a Subsidiary.

D-7

11.

EXPIRATION OF OPTIONS ON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

(a) Options shall not be transferable by a Participant and no amount credited to a Participant’s account may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way by a Participant. An Option shall expire unexercised immediately if a Participant ceases to satisfy the definition of the term Employee for any reason other than death and the amount of the accumulated payroll deductions then credited to the Participant’s account under the Plan will be paid to the Participant in cash. In the case of a Participant’s death, the provisions of Section 16 shall control.

(b) An authorized leave of absence or absence on military or government service shall not constitute severance of the employment relationship between the Company or Participating Subsidiary and the Participant for purposes of this Section 11, provided that either (i) the absence is for a period of no more than 90 days or (ii) the Employee’s right to be re-employed after the absence is guaranteed either by statute or by contract.

12.

REQUIREMENTS OF LAW

The Company shall not be required to sell or issue any Shares under the Plan if the issuance of such Shares would constitute or result in a violation by the Optionee or the Company of any provision of any law, statute or regulation of any governmental authority. Specifically, in connection with the Securities Act, upon the exercise of any Option the Company shall not be required to issue Shares unless the Board has received evidence satisfactory to it to the effect that the Optionee will not transfer such Shares except pursuant to a registration statement in effect under the Securities Act or unless an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company has been received by the Company to the effect that such registration is not required. Any determination in this connection by the Board shall be final, binding and conclusive. The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action to cause the exercise of an Option or the issuance of Shares pursuant to an Option to comply with any laws or regulations of any governmental authority including, without limitation, the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws.

13.

NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER

No Participant shall have rights as a shareholder with respect to Shares covered by his or her Option until the applicable Exercise Date and, except as otherwise provided in Section 15, no adjustment shall be made for dividends of which the record date precedes the applicable Exercise Date.

14.

FORFEITURE FOR DISHONESTY

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, if the Board determines, after full consideration of the facts presented on behalf of both the Company and the individual, that a Participant or an Optionee has been engaged in fraud, embezzlement, theft, commission of a felony or proven dishonesty in the course of his or her employment by the Company or a Subsidiary, which damaged the Company or Subsidiary, or has disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary information of the Company or a Subsidiary, (a) such individual’s participation in an Offering shall terminate and he or she shall forfeit his or her right to receive any Shares pursuant to an Offering that has not yet been delivered and (b) the Company shall have the right to repurchase all or any part of the Shares acquired by an Optionee upon the earlier exercise of any Option, at a price equal to the amount paid to the Company upon such exercise, increased by an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued in the period between the date of exercise of the Option and the date of such repurchase upon a debt in the amount of the exercise price, at the prime rate(s) announced from time to time during such period in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release Selected Interest Rates. The decision of the Board as to the cause of a Participant’s or Optionee’s discharge and the damage done to the Company or a Subsidiary shall be final, binding and conclusive. No decision of the Board, however, shall affect in any manner the finality of the discharge of a Participant or Optionee by the Company or a Subsidiary.

D-8

15.

CHANGES IN THE COMPANY’S CAPITAL STRUCTURE

(a) In the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, exchange of shares, stock split, combination of shares or dividend payable in shares or other securities, a corresponding adjustment shall be made by the Committee in the number and kind of shares or other securities, and in the Option Price, covered by outstanding Options, and for which Options may be granted under the Plan. In the event of a declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the price of Shares, the Committee shall make such adjustments as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. No adjustment shall be made pursuant to the provisions of this Section 15(a) that would constitute a modification as defined in Section 424 of the Code. Any such adjustment made by the Committee shall be conclusive and binding upon all affected persons, including the Company and all Participants and Optionees.

(b) If while unexercised Options remain outstanding under the Plan the Company merges or consolidates with a wholly-owned subsidiary for the purpose of reincorporating itself under the laws of another jurisdiction, the Optionees will be entitled to acquire Shares of the reincorporated company upon the same terms and conditions as were in effect immediately prior to such reincorporation (unless such reincorporation involves a change in the number of shares or the capitalization of the Company, in which case proportional adjustments shall be made as provided above), and the Plan, unless otherwise rescinded by the Board, will remain the Plan of the reincorporated company.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in (a) or (b) above, if while unexercised Options remain outstanding under the Plan the Company merges or consolidates with one or more corporations (whether or not the Company is the surviving corporation), or is liquidated or sells or otherwise disposes of substantially all of its assets to another entity, or upon a Change of Control, then the Committee, in its discretion, shall provide that either:

(i) after the effective date of such merger, consolidation, liquidation, sale or Change of Control, as the case may be, each Optionee shall be entitled, upon exercise of an Option to receive in lieu of Shares the number and class of shares of such stock or other securities to which he or she would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of the merger, consolidation, liquidation, sale or Change of Control if he or she had been the holder of record of the number of Shares as to which the Option is being exercised immediately prior to such merger consolidation, liquidation or sale; or

(ii) all outstanding Options shall be exercised as of the day preceding the effective date of any such merger, consolidation, liquidation, sale or Change of Control, which day shall be the Exercise Date for purposes of the Offering; provided, however, that each Optionee shall be notified of the right to withdraw from the Offering in accordance with the requirements of Section 10.

D-9

(d) Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Section 15, the issuance by the Company of shares of any class for cash or property or for services, either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect the number, class or price of Shares then subject to outstanding Options.

16.

DISPOSITION OF ACCOUNT AT DEATH

In the event that a Participant dies after the Exercise Date but before the delivery of the Shares, the Shares when issued together with any cash remaining in the Participant’s account shall be transferred to the Participant’s estate. In the event that a Participant dies prior to the Exercise Date, a payment shall be made to the Participant’s estate of an amount in cash equal to the accumulated payroll deductions credited to the Participant’s account under the Plan.

17.

SUBPLAN(S)

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may but shall not be required to adopt one or more Sub-Plans to facilitate participation in the Plan by Employees outside the United States and to accommodate the requirements of local securities, tax, foreign exchange or other laws of foreign jurisdictions. Any such Sub-Plan shall, to the extent practicable and as determined by the Committee in its discretion, reflect the same terms and conditions available with respect to non-Sub-Plan Participants. This authority shall include the right to establish one or more Sub-Plans that are not intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 423 of the Code; provided, however, that in no event shall the authority of the Board to amend or terminate the Plan pursuant to Section 19 be limited.

18.

MISCELLANEOUS

(a) Accumulated payroll deductions and the proceeds from the sale of Shares pursuant to the exercise of Options shall constitute general funds of the Company.

(b) To the extent required by law, the Company or a Participating Subsidiary shall withhold or cause to be withheld income and other taxes with respect to any income recognized by an Optionee by reason of the exercise of an Option. An Optionee shall agree that if the amount payable to him or her by the Company and any Participating Subsidiary in the ordinary course is insufficient to pay such taxes, then he or she shall upon request of the Company pay to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy its tax withholding obligations.

(c) All notices or other communications by a Participant or Optionee to the Company pursuant to the Plan shall be deemed to have been given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location or by the person designated by the Company for the receipt thereof.

(d) Neither the Plan nor the grant of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall impose upon the Company or a Subsidiary any obligation to employ or continue to employ any Participant, and the right of the Company or a Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any person shall not be diminished or affected by reason of the fact that an Option has been granted to him or her.

D-10

(e) The title of the sections of the Plan are included for convenience only and shall not be construed as modifying or affecting their provisions. References to gender shall include both sexes; the singular shall include the plural and the plural the singular unless the context otherwise requires.

(f) The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law.

19.

AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN

The Board may at any time terminate or from time to time amend, modify or suspend this Plan (or any part thereof); provided, however, that without approval by an affirmative vote of a majority of the votes properly cast at a duly held meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation at which a quorum representing a majority of all outstanding Shares are present, in person or by proxy there shall be no: (a) change in the number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan, except by operation of the provisions of Section 15; (b) change in the class of persons eligible to participate in the Plan; or (c) other change in the Plan that requires shareholder approval under applicable law. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Board shall in all events have the power to make such changes in the Plan and the Committee shall in all events have the power to make such changes in the regulations and administrative provisions under the Plan or in any outstanding Option as, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, may be necessary or appropriate from time to time to enable the Plan to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan as defined in Section 423 of the Code, so as to enable any Option to receive preferential federal income tax treatment. No amendment shall materially affect outstanding Options without the consent of the Optionee and the termination of the Plan will not terminate Options then outstanding, without the consent of the Optionee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at such time after the Company is not required to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act, at its option, the Company may terminate the Plan and, upon the termination, outstanding Options shall be cancelled and each Participant shall receive in cash an amount equal to the accumulated payroll deductions without interest credited to the Participant’s account under the Plan immediately prior to termination.

20.

EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION OF THE PLAN

The Plan shall be effective as of September 26, 2024 upon ratification by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares present, or represented, and entitled to vote thereon (voting as a single class) at a duly held meeting (or written consents in lieu thereof) of the shareholders. Unless the Plan shall have terminated earlier, the Plan shall terminate on the date as of which there are no longer any Shares available pursuant to Section 4 to be offered and no Option shall be granted pursuant to the Plan after that date.

Types of Grants and Section 102 Election

The Company’s (or its Affiliate’s) Election regarding the type of 102 Trustee Grant it chooses to make shall be filed with the ITA. Once the Company (or its Affiliate) has filed such Election, it may change the type of 102 Trustee Grant that it chooses to make only after the lapse of at least 12 months from the end of the calendar year in which the first grant was made in accordance with the previous Election, in accordance with Section 102. For the avoidance of doubt, such Election shall not prevent the Company (or its Affiliate) from granting Non-Trustee Grants to Eligible 102 Participants at any time.

Eligible 102 Participants may receive only 102 Trustee Grants or Non-Trustee Grants under this Sub-Plan. Employees who are not Eligible 102 Participants may not participate in the Sub-Plan.

No 102 Trustee Grants may be made effective pursuant to the Sub-Plan until 30 days after the requisite filings required by the ITO and the Rules have been made with the ITA. This Sub-Plan and the issuance of qualifying Section 102 Grants is contingent upon the approval (or deemed approval) of the ITA, and subject to the terms and conditions of such approval, if and when obtained.

The enrollment documents evidencing participation in the Plan and Sub-Plan shall indicate whether the Shares purchased under the Plan and the Sub-Plan are a 102 Trustee Grant or a Non-Trustee Grant; and, if the grant is a 102 Trustee Grant, whether it is a 102 Capital Gains Track Grant or a 102 Ordinary Income Track Grant.

Sub-Plan and Conditions of 102 Trustee Grants

Each 102 Trustee Grant shall be deemed granted for the purposes of the ITO on the date of actual purchase of the Shares under the Plan and the Sub-Plan. With effect as of such date: (i) the Company (or its Affiliate) shall provide notice thereof to the Trustee; and (ii) the Eligible 102 Participant shall sign all documents or provide other confirmation in a form acceptable to the Company (or its Affiliate) and the Trustee required pursuant to this Section of the Sub-Plan, including, to the extent required, a separate form of consent to any tax ruling issued by the ITA in connection with participation in the Sub-Plan.

Each 102 Trustee Grant granted to an Eligible 102 Participant and each certificate for Shares acquired pursuant to a 102 Trustee Grant shall be deposited with a Trustee in compliance with the Deposit Requirements and held in trust by the Trustee for the benefit of the Eligible 102 Participant for the Required Holding Period (or be subject to a supervisory trustee arrangement if approved by the ITA). After termination of the Required Holding Period, the Trustee may release or confirm release of any such Shares, provided that (i) the Trustee has received an acknowledgment from the ITA that the Eligible 102 Participant has paid any applicable tax due pursuant to the ITO or (ii) the Trustee and/or the Company or its Affiliate withholds any applicable tax due pursuant to the ITO. The Trustee shall not release or confirm release of any 102 Trustee Grants prior to the full payment of the Eligible 102 Participant’s tax liabilities.

D-14

Each 102 Trustee Grant shall be subject to the relevant terms of Section 102 and the ITO, which shall be deemed an integral part of the 102 Trustee Grant and shall prevail over any term contained in the Plan, this Sub-Plan or any enrollment documents that are not consistent therewith. In addition, the withholding of applicable taxes shall be performed before the deduction from Compensation pursuant to the enrollment documents with respect to 102 Trustee Grants. Any provision of the ITO and any approvals or rulings by the ITA not expressly specified in this Sub-Plan or any document evidencing a grant that are necessary to receive or maintain any tax benefit pursuant to the Section 102 shall be binding on the Eligible 102 Participant. The Trustee and the Eligible 102 Participant granted a 102 Trustee Grant shall comply with the ITO and the terms and conditions of the trust agreement entered into between the Company and the Trustee (the “Trust Agreement”). For avoidance of doubt, it is reiterated that compliance with the ITO specifically includes compliance with the Rules. Further, the Eligible 102 Participant agrees to execute any and all documents which the Company or the Trustee may reasonably determine to be necessary in order to comply with the provision of any applicable law and, particularly, Section 102 and/or any ruling obtained from the ITA in connection with the Sub-Plan.

During the Required Holding Period, the Eligible 102 Participant shall not require the Trustee (or a broker) to release or sell Shares and other shares received subsequently following any realization of rights derived from Shares (including share dividends, if any) to the Eligible 102 Participant or to a third party, unless permitted to do so by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee (or a broker) may, pursuant to a written request and subject to applicable law, release and transfer such Shares to a designated third party, provided that both of the following conditions have been fulfilled prior to such transfer: (i) all taxes required to be paid upon the release and transfer of the Shares have been withheld for transfer to the tax authorities; and (ii) the Trustee has received written confirmation from the Company that all requirements for such release and transfer have been fulfilled according to the terms of the Company’s corporate documents, the Plan, any applicable agreement and any applicable laws. To avoid doubt, such sale or release during the Required Holding Period shall result in different tax ramifications to the Eligible 102 Participant under Section 102 of the ITO and the Rules and/or any other regulations or orders or procedures promulgated thereunder, which shall apply to and shall be borne solely by such Eligible 102 Participant (including tax and mandatory payments otherwise payable by the Company or its or Affiliates, which would not apply absent a sale or release during the Required Holding Period).

In the event a share dividend is declared and/or additional rights are granted with respect to Shares that are 102 Trustee Grants, such dividend shall also be subject to the provisions of this Section of the Sub-Plan and the Required Holding Period for such dividend shares and/or rights shall be measured from the commencement of the Required Holding Period for the Shares with respect to which the dividend was declared and/or rights granted. In the event of a cash dividend on Shares, the Trustee shall transfer the dividend proceeds to the Eligible 102 Participant after deduction of taxes and mandatory payments in compliance with applicable withholding requirements.

D-15

Shares shall be issued in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Eligible 102 Participant (or be subject to a supervisory trustee arrangement if approved by the ITA). If such Shares are issued after the Required Holding Period has elapsed, the Shares issued shall, at the election of the Eligible 102 Participant, either (i) be issued in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Eligible 102 Participant (or be subject to a supervisory trustee arrangement if approved by the ITA) or (ii) be transferred to the Eligible 102 Participant directly, provided that the Eligible 102 Participant first complies with all applicable provisions of the Plan and the Sub-Plan.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, it is clarified that 102 Capital Gains Track Grants are subject to the confirmation and approval of the ITA. In addition, any 102 Capital Gains Track Grants are meant to comply in full with the terms and conditions of Section 102 and the requirements of the ITA, and therefore the Plan and the Sub-Plan are to be read such that they comply with the requirements of Section 102. Should any provision in the Plan and/or the Sub-Plan disqualify the Plan and/or the Sub-Plan and/or any 102 Capital Gains Track Grants thereunder from beneficial tax treatment pursuant to the provisions of Section 102, such provision shall not apply to such 102 Capital Gains Track Grants and the underlying Shares unless the ITA provides approval of compliance with Section 102.

Assignability

As long as Shares are held by the Trustee on behalf of the Eligible 102 Participant (or otherwise subject to a supervisory trustee arrangement if approved by the ITA), all rights of the Eligible 102 Participant over the Shares are personal, cannot be transferred, assigned, pledged or mortgaged, other than by will or laws of descent and distribution.

Tax Consequences

Any tax consequences arising from participation in the Sub-Plan and/or the purchase of Shares thereunder, or from any other event or act (of the Company and/or its Affiliates, and/or the Trustee and/or the Eligible 102 Participant), hereunder (including without any limitation any taxes and compulsory payments, such as National Insurance Institute and health tax payments) shall be borne solely by the Eligible 102 Participant. The Company and/or its Affiliates, and/or the Trustee shall withhold taxes according to the requirements under the applicable laws, rules and regulations, including withholding taxes at source. Furthermore, the Eligible 102 Participant shall agree to indemnify the Company and/or its Affiliates and/or the Trustee and hold them harmless against and from any and all liability for any such tax or interest or penalty thereon, including without limitation, liabilities relating to the necessity to withhold, or to have withheld, any such tax from any payment made to the Eligible 102 Participant.

The Company or any of its Affiliates and the Trustee may make such provisions and take such steps as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding of all taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to Shares issued under the Plan or the sale thereof, including, but not limited, to (i) deducting the amount so required to be withheld from any other amount (or Shares issuable) then or thereafter payable to an Eligible 102 Participant, including to the maximum extent permitted under law, and/or (ii) requiring an Eligible 102 Participant to pay to the Company or any of its Affiliates the amount so required to be withheld as a condition of the issuance, delivery, distribution or release of any Shares; and/or (iii) withholding otherwise deliverable Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount statutorily required to be withheld; and/or (iv) causing the exercise and sale of any awards or Shares held by on behalf of the Employee or selling a sufficient number of such Shares otherwise deliverable to the Employee through such means as the Company may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) equal to the amount required to be withheld either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Employee’s behalf pursuant to the Employee’s authorization as expressed by acceptance of the award under the terms herein), to the extent permitted by applicable law or pursuant to the approval of the ITA. In addition, the Employee shall be required to pay any amount (including penalties) that exceeds the tax to be withheld and transferred to the tax authorities, pursuant to applicable tax laws, regulations and rules.

D-16

The Company does not represent or undertake that a grant under the Plan shall qualify for or comply with the requisites of any particular tax treatment (such as the 102 Capital Gains Track), nor shall the Company, its assignees or successors be required to take any action for the qualification of any grant under such tax treatment. The Company shall have no liability of any kind or nature in the event that, as a result of applicable law, actions by the Trustee or any position or interpretation of the ITA, or for any other reason whatsoever, a grant shall be deemed to not qualify for any particular tax treatment.

With respect to Non-Trustee Grants, if the Eligible 102 Participant ceases to be employed by the Company or any Affiliate, the Eligible 102 Participant shall extend to the Company and/or its Affiliate a security or guarantee for the payment of tax due at the time of sale of Shares to the satisfaction of the Company and/or its Affiliate, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 102 of the ITO and the Rules.

The Company and/or the Trustee shall not be required with respect to a Participant to release any Share certificate or make a book entry with respect to such Share until all required payments have been fully made. In the event that the Company or its Affiliate, or the Trustee, as applicable, is uncertain as to the sum of the full tax payment due or which is subject to withholding, the Company or the Trustee, as applicable, may refuse to release the Shares until such time as the ITA verifies the sum of the full tax payment which is due, and the Participant shall not have any claims in connection with such refusal.
