The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and voting thereon (excluding abstentions) is required to adopt the proposed resolution.
It is proposed to approve an increase in the compensation and a grant of options to Mr. Ami Boehm, in his capacity as Chairman of the Board of Directors, as follows:
Compensation
It is proposed to approve a grant of equity to Mr. Boehm consisting of (i) 75,000 options to purchase Ordinary Shares of the Company (at an exercise price equal to 11.17 NIS per share, being the closing price per share of the Company on March 4 th , 2024 which was the last trading day before the Board approved such grant); and (ii) 37,500 restricted share units. The grants shall be on a 102 Capital Gain route with a trustee in accordance with section 102 of the Israeli Tax Ordinance – 1961. Both the grant of options and the grant of RSUs shall be subject to a four-year vesting period, with the first 25% vesting on the date falling 12 month following the March 5th , 2024 vesting commencement date, and the remaining 75% vesting in 12 equal quarterly portions until the end of the four year period from the vesting commencement date, provided, in each case that Mr. Boehm continues to be a director of the Company at the time of each such vesting date. The grants shall otherwise be in accordance with the Company's 2019 Amended and Restated Share Incentive Plan.
In deviation from the Compensation Policy, the Board determined the options exercise price according to the closing price per share of the Company on the last trading day before the Board approved the grant rather than according to the closing price per share of the Company on the last trading day before this meeting approves the grant. The Board resolved to do so with a view to maintain equality between the directors and the officers that the Board approved their incentive equity grants in tandem. According to a valuation report commissioned by the Company, the fair market value per each option to purchase an ordinary share of the Company is \$1.80.
The proposed compensation and grant of options for Mr. Boehm in his capacity as chairman of the Board of Directors is reasonable considering his contribution to our strategy and operations of the Company and is not expected to materially affect the Company's profitability, property or liabilities. Furthermore, considering the Company's stage, size and scope of operations, as well as its financial condition and its share price, this proposal seems reasonable and in the best interest of the Company. The compensation provided to Mr. Boehm is in accordance with our compensation policy.
If this resolution is approved, the total equity grants (including the proposed grant and the additional proposed grants in the other resolutions under this proxy statement) to employees, directors and consultants of the Company that are subject to any share incentive plan of the Company as of the date hereof, will not exceed a rate of 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding share capital on a fully diluted basis.
"RESOLVED, to approve increase of the compensation and the grant of equity to Mr. Ami Boehm, as provided herein, in his capacity as active Chairman of the Board of Directors."
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and voting thereon (excluding abstentions) is required to adopt the proposed resolution.
It is proposed to approve, for each of our directors (other than to Mr. Boehm) including Dr. David Zacut, Mr. Avner Hagai, Ms. Eti Mitrany, Ms. Karen Sarid, Prof. Avraham Zangen, Mr. Yossi Ben Shalom and Mr. Avner Lushi, a grant of (i) 25,000 options to purchase Ordinary Shares of the Company (at an exercise price equal to 11.17 NIS per share, being the closing price per share of the Company on March 4th, 2024 which was the last trading day before the Board approved such grant); and (ii) 12,500 restricted share units. The grants shall be on a 102 Capital Gain route with a trustee in accordance with section 102 of the Israeli Tax Ordinance – 1961. Both the grant of options and the grant of RSUs shall be subject to a four-year vesting period, with the first 25% vesting on the date falling 12 month following the March 5 th , 2024 vesting commencement date, and the remaining 75% vesting in 12 equal quarterly portions until the end of the four year period from the vesting commencement date, provided, in each case that the relevant grantee continues to be a director of the Company at the time of each such vesting date. The grants shall otherwise be in accordance with the Company's 2019 Amended and Restated Share Incentive Plan.
In deviation from the Compensation Policy, the Board determined the options exercise price according to the closing price per share of the Company on the last trading day before the Board approved the grant rather than according to the closing price per share of the Company on the last trading day before this meeting approves the grant. The Board resolved to do so with a view to maintain equality between the directors and the officers that the Board approved their incentive equity grants in tandem. According to a valuation report commissioned by the Company, the fair market value per each option to purchase an ordinary share of the Company is \$1.80.
The grant proposed to each of Dr. David Zacut, Mr. Avner Hagai, Ms. Eti Mitrany, Ms. Karen Sarid, Prof. Avraham Zangen, Mr. Yossi Ben Shalom and Mr. Avner Lushi is otherwise in accordance with our compensation policy and in accordance with the regulations promulgated under the Companies Law.
If this resolution is approved, the total equity grants (including the proposed grant and the additional proposed grants in the other resolutions under this proxy statement) to employees, directors and consultants of the Company that are subject to any share incentive plan of the Company as of the date hereof, will not exceed a rate of 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding share capital on a fully diluted basis.
"RESOLVED, to approve a grant of equity in the form of 25,000 options and 12,500 restricted share units to each of Dr. David Zacut, Mr. Avner Hagai, Ms. Eti Mitrany, Ms. Karen Sarid, Prof. Avraham Zangen, Mr. Yossi Ben Shalom and Mr. Avner Lushi, each a director of the Company, as described in the Proxy Statement.
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and voting thereon (excluding abstentions) is required to adopt the proposed resolution.
THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMEND THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION.
It is proposed to approve a grant to Mr. Levy of equity consisting of (i) 125,000 options to purchase Ordinary Shares of the Company (at an exercise price equal to 11.17 NIS per share, being the closing price per share of the Company on March 4th, 2024 which was the last trading day before the Board approved such grant); and (ii) 62,500 restricted share units. The grants shall be on a 102 Capital Gain route with a trustee in accordance with section 102 of the Israeli Tax Ordinance – 1961. The grants shall be subject to a four-year vesting period, with the first 25% vesting on the date falling 12 month following the March 5th, 2024 vesting commencement date, and the remaining 75% vesting in 12 equal quarterly portions until the end of the four year period, provided, in each case that Mr. Levy continues to be employed by the Company at the time of each such scheduled vesting date. The grants shall otherwise be in accordance with the Company's 2019 Amended and Restated Share Incentive Plan.
Consistent with the Compensation Policy, the Board determined the options exercise price according to the closing price per share of the Company on the last trading day before the Board approved the grant. According to a valuation report commissioned by the Company, the fair market value per each option to purchase an ordinary share of the Company is \$1.80.
Our Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors believe that a grant of 125,000 options and 62,500 restricted share units at the terms described above, to Mr. Levy, is reasonable due to his past and continued contribution to the progress of the Company and will increase his equity interest in the success of the Company and its results of operations.
If this resolution is approved, the total equity grants (including the proposed grant and the additional proposed grants in the other resolutions under this proxy statement) to employees, directors and consultants of the Company that are subject to any share incentive plan of the Company as of the date hereof, will not exceed a rate of 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding share capital on a fully diluted basis.
The approval of Proposal 5 requires the affirmative vote at least a majority of the voting power represented at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter presented, provided that one of the following two alternatives must apply: (i) such majority vote at the Annual Meeting shall include at least a majority of the total votes of shareholders who are not controlling shareholders of the Company (as defined in the Companies Law) and do not have a personal interest in the approval of the proposal, participating in the voting at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy, without taking abstentions into account; or (ii) the total number of votes of the noncontrolling shareholders mentioned in clause (i) above that are voted against such proposal does not exceed two percent (2%) of the total voting rights in the Company.
Under the Companies Law, the terms of employment and service of officers and directors of public companies, such as the Company, must be determined in accordance with a directors and officers compensation policy (the "Compensation Policy"). The Compensation Policy must be approved every three (3) years by (i) the Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, and (ii) the shareholders of the Company (except in limited circumstances set forth in the Companies Law). All companies subject to the Companies Law are required to review and re-approve their Compensation Policy based on the guidelines specified in the Companies Law every three years.
On May 8, 2024, in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Law and following the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors approved a new Compensation Policy and recommended its approval by the shareholders, in the form attached hereto as Appendix B (the "Compensation Policy"). The considerations which guided the Company's Compensation Committee and Board of Directors in recommending the Compensation Policy were: promoting the Company's long-term best interests and organization strategy, inter alia, the Company's risk management matrix, size and nature of its operations and, with regard to terms of office and employment which include variable components, the Officer's long-term contribution to achieving the Company's objectives and to maximizing its performance, taking into account the scope and reach of the Officer's role.
The Compensation Policy was reviewed with due consideration to the nature of the Company's operations in the medical device sector, territories where the Company operates, market capitalization on the applicable stock exchanges or trading platforms on which the Company's ordinary shares and ADSs are listed or traded, as well as other criteria including the magnitude of future cash needs, capitalization, and future development plans. The Compensation Policy will be effective for three years from the General Meeting, if approved by the shareholders.
The principles of the Compensation Policy were set forth after discussions by the Compensation Committee and by the Board of Directors. The Compensation Policy principles were designed, inter alia, to grant proper, fair and well-considered compensation to Officers and directors, in alignment with the Company's long-term best interests and overall organizational strategy. A key objective of the policy is to encourage a sense of identification with the Company and its objectives on the part of its Officers. An increase in Officer satisfaction and motivation is likely to lead to retention of high-quality Officers in the Company's service over the long term. Additionally, the Compensation Policy strives, inter alia, to empower the Company to preserve and to recruit senior executives with specific professional knowledge, unique expertise and ability to lead the Company to business success and to face the challenges confronted by the Company. The policy is designed to grant rational, appropriate and fair compensation to directors and Officers, taking into consideration their duties and areas of responsibilities, giving focus on the contribution of the Officers to achieve the Company objectives and performance maximization.
The approval of Proposal 6 requires the affirmative vote at least a majority of the voting power represented at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter presented, provided that one of the following two alternatives must apply: (i) such majority vote at the Annual Meeting shall include at least a majority of the total votes of shareholders who are not controlling shareholders of the Company (as defined in the Companies Law) and do not have a personal interest in the approval of the proposal, participating in the voting at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy, without taking abstentions into account; or (ii) the total number of votes of the noncontrolling shareholders and the shareholders who do not have personal interest in the approval of the proposal that are voted against such proposal does not exceed two percent (2%) of the total voting rights in the Company.
Under certain circumstances and subject to certain exceptions, the Companies Law enables the Board of Directors to approve the Compensation Policy despite the objection of the shareholders provided that the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors determine that it is for the benefit of the Company, following additional discussions and supported by detailed arguments.
Other than as set forth above, as of the mailing of this Proxy Statement, management knows of no business to be transacted at the Annual Meeting, but, if any other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy will vote upon such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

| 2. Overview |
2.1. General
1
1 In setting the compensation amounts and limits, the Company also relied in part on a benchmark study conducted of local and international peer group companies which informed the Company's previous compensation policy which was adopted less than three years ago. Due to market realities and trends, and the relatively recent nature of the previous benchmark study, the Company did not deem it necessary to conduct a new benchmark study for this Compensation Policy.
In the process of drafting this Policy, BrainsWay's Board has examined the ratio between employer cost, as such term is defined in the Companies Law, associated with the engagement of the Officers (the "Officers Cost") and the average and median employer cost associated with the engagement of the other employees of BrainsWay (the "Other Employees Cost" and the "Ratio", respectively). The Board believes that the current Ratio does not adversely impact the work environment in BrainsWay. The following are the ratios as of the date of the approval of this Compensation Policy:
| Position | Ratio to average Other Employees Cost | Ratio to the median Other Employees Cost |
|---|---|---|
| CEO | 7.48 | 10.22 |
| Other Officers | 2.64 | 3.49 |
| Directors | 0.70 | 0.84 |
Compensation components will include each of the following
While the Company's employment agreements and/or consulting agreements may be in NIS, USD or any other currency, the Company's compensation costs (including salaries, benefits and consulting) are reported in the Company's financial statements in USD. Thus, all compensation components are presented in this policy in USD. Conversion from USD to the relevant currency for the purposes of complying with this Policy shall be made when determining and approving a specific compensation component.

The language of this Compensation Policy uses the male pronoun only as a measure of comfort. This Policy applies to both male and female Officers.
The compensation package to the Officers and Directors is individually determined by the Committee and the Board (unless other approvals are required under any applicable law) according to the educational background, prior vocational experience, qualifications, role, business responsibilities, past performance and previous compensation arrangements of such Officer.
The annual Base Salary for the Company CEO shall be up to USD \$550,000 for a full-time position.[2]
The annual Base Salary for each Officer (other than CEO) shall not exceed an amount of US \$425,000[3] .
The monthly remuneration of the chairman of the Board of Directors in the Company shall not exceed an annual cash fee retainer of US \$280,000 (for full-time position). The monthly wage shall be reduced in a linear manner in the case of a reduction in the scope of the position.
3 This amount is not intended as a reflection of current market value for the indicated role; rather it is expressed as an upper limit to ensure appropriate flexibility, including such as required to meet future needs of the Company.

2 This amount is not intended as a reflection of current market value for the indicated role; rather it is expressed as an upper limit to ensure appropriate flexibility, including such as required to meet future needs of the Company.
The Company CEO and all other Officers and Directors will be entitled to reimbursement of reasonable per diem ("ל"אש ("expenses incurred in the course of discharging its office, including expenses with respect to attending meetings, travel and entertainment expenses, against provision of receipts, Director declaration, and/or such other reasonable documentation as may be requested. The Company may pay such expenses by credit card. Expense reimbursement for overseas travel will be in conformity with the Company's policy.
A change in the fixed compensation of the CEO, which was approved by the Committee and the Board, shall be considered to be non-material according to section 272(d) so long as it does not exceed 10% of the fixed compensation, and all within the framework of the Policy.
According to section 1B3 to the Companies Regulations (Relief in Transactions with Related Parties), 2000, non-material changes in the terms of employment of an officer who is subject to the CEO, will not require Committee approval, as stated in section 272(d) to the Companies Law. For these purposes, a change shall be considered to be non-material so long as the change in the compensation does not exceed 10% of the fixed compensation and has been approved by the CEO, and all within the framework of the Policy.
The following cumulative conditions (the "Company-Wide Threshold Conditions") must be fulfilled by the Company in order for Officers to qualify for an Annual Target Bonus in any given year:
5.2.1. Allocation Criteria. The Company may award (subject to the approvals of the Committee and the Board) an annual bonus to its Officers due to their contribution to the Company. The annual bonus to the Company's Officers (the "Annual Target Bonus") shall be determined substantially based on measurable criteria, and with respect to its less significant part may be determined at the discretion of the Committee and the Board, in accordance with the following breakdown:
| Position | Company/Individual Performance Measures | Company's Discretion |
|---|---|---|
| CEO | 75%-100% | 0%-25% |
| Other Officers | 75%-100% | 0%-25% |
5.3.1. In addition to the Annual Target Bonus and the Overachievement Bonus , the Company (subject to the approvals of the Committee and the Board)) shall have the authority to grant Officers, on a per event basis, a special bonus (a "Special Bonus") as an award for the following: (i) special contribution (outstanding personal achievement, outstanding personal effort, and/or outstanding Company performance, such as related to mergers and acquisitions, offerings, or special recognition in case of retirement); (ii) relocation overseas (i.e. conditioned upon continued employment with the Company, the Company may reimburse an Officer for his or her actual reasonable relocation expenses when relocating to another country or state, and upon return), and/or; (iii) talent attraction purposes (e.g such as for a "hiring," "sign-on" or "inducement" bonus), all at the full discretion of the Committee and the Board (and with respect to the CEO, also the Company's general meeting of shareholders, as required).
Except in the event of termination for cause as that term as defined in the Company's policies, procedures and/or agreements, should the Company terminate the employment or service of an Officer prior to the end of a fiscal year, the Company may, but is not obligated to, pay the Officer the pro rata share of that fiscal year's annual bonus, based on the period such Officer was employed by the Company or has served in the Company, and based on the Officer's satisfaction of the applicable performance metrics.
4 Taking into consideration the vesting period of any grant.
5.5.3. Nothing in this Section limits the Company's obligation to comply with any "Clawback" or similar provisions regarding disgorging of profits imposed on Officers by virtue of applicable securities laws.
The Company's Committee and Board may reduce the bonus awarded to an Officer at their discretion, including under the following circumstances: material deterioration of the Company's position or such material deterioration anticipated by the Board, deterioration in the state of the economy, deterioration in the performance of the Officer or inappropriate conduct by the Officer.
7 As of the date of the drafting of this policy, one (1) ADS is equivalent to two (2) ordinary shares of the Company. Thus, for example, assuming this ratio remains in place, a grant of options to purchase 1,000 ordinary shares would be subject to an exercise price of half the closing ADS price on the NASDAQ exchange on the day prior to the required approval.

5 Taking into consideration the vesting period of any grant.
6 Taking into consideration the vesting period of any grant.
Such retirement bonus, if applicable, shall be awarded based on the Officer's tenure, the Company's achievements during the relevant period and the Officer's contribution to such achievements, and the circumstances of such Officer's retirement from the Company.
8.1. General: In addition to its compensation in accordance with the provisions of this Policy, each Officer shall be entitled to exemption, insurance and indemnification subject to the limitation and the approvals under of any applicable law and the provisions of this Policy.
In this Section 8 "Officers" shall include "Directors".
The Company may engage an Officer as an independent contractor rather than as a salaried employee. In such a case, the maximum cost of employment would be calculated based on the maximum cost for a salaried employee in a similar position, and guidelines of the Compensation Policy would apply to such an officer, mutatis mutandis.
