• Proposed Capital Increase

  Shareholders will vote on increasing the authorized share capital from NIS 1.6 billion to NIS 5.0 billion, which would increase the number of ordinary shares available for issuance by 340 billion (equivalent to 34 million ADSs). This represents a potential increase of over 660% compared to current outstanding ADSs, indicating significant future dilution.

• CEO RSU Grant

  Approval is sought for a grant of 38,000 Restricted Share Units (RSUs) to CEO Dror Ben-Asher, vesting quarterly over two years. This grant represents approximately $50,160 based on the current stock price.

• CCO RSU Grant

  Approval is sought for a grant of 27,000 Restricted Share Units (RSUs) to CCO Rick D. Scruggs, vesting quarterly over two years. This grant represents approximately $35,640 based on the current stock price.

• Non-Executive Director RSU Grants

  Approval is sought for grants of 9,000 ADSs each to three non-executive directors and 12,500 ADSs to one non-executive director, totaling 39,500 RSUs. This represents approximately $52,140 based on the current stock price.

This filing details the proposals for an upcoming extraordinary general meeting, following a prior announcement on January 22, 2026, regarding RSU grants. The most impactful proposal is a massive increase in authorized share capital, which could lead to significant future dilution for existing shareholders as the company seeks to raise additional capital. This move is particularly notable for a micro-cap company, signaling a potential need for substantial future equity financing. Additionally, significant RSU grants to key executives and non-executive directors, while intended for compensation and retention, will also contribute to dilution. These actions highlight the company's ongoing need for capital and its compensation strategy.
