By Order of the Board of Directors
/s/ Ilan Cohen
Chairman of the Board January 13, 2023

10 Bareket Street, Kiryat Matalon PO Box 7537 Petach Tikva 4951778 Israel
This Proxy Statement is furnished to our holders of ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.25 per share and holders of our ordinary shares that are represented by American Depository Shares, or ADSs, in connection with the Special General Meeting of Shareholders, to be held on Tuesday, February 21, 2023, at 3:00 p.m. Israel time at our offices, 10 Bareket Street, Petach Tikva, Israel, or at any adjournments thereof.
Throughout this Proxy Statement, we use terms such as "Can-Fite", "we", "us", "our" and the "Company" to refer to Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. and terms such as "you" and "your" to refer to our shareholders and ADS holders.
The agenda of the special meeting will be as follows:
To approve a renewed version of the Company's Compensation Policy, in accordance with the requirements of the Israeli Companies Law 5759-1999 (the "Companies Law"), for a period of three years.
To cancel the par value of the Company's ordinary shares, such that the Company's authorized share capital will be equal to NIS 1,250,000,000 divided into 5,000,000,000 ordinary shares with no par value, and to amend the Company's articles of association accordingly.
We currently are unaware of any other matters that may be raised at the special meeting. Should any other matters be properly raised at the special meeting, the persons designated as proxies shall vote according to their own judgment on those matters.
Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" each of the proposals on the agenda.
Only shareholders and ADS holders at the close of business on January 19, 2023, shall be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the special meeting.
You can vote your ordinary shares by attending the special meeting. If you do not plan to attend the special meeting, the method of voting will differ for shares held as a record holder, shares held in "street name" (through a Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, or TASE, member) and shares underlying ADSs that you hold. Record holders of shares will receive proxy cards. Holders of shares in "street name" through a TASE member will also vote via a proxy card, but through a different procedure (as described below). Holders of ADSs (whether registered in their name or in "street name") will receive voting instruction cards in order to instruct their banks, brokers or other nominees on how to vote.

If you are a shareholder of record, you can submit your vote by completing, signing and submitting a proxy card, which has been published at www.magna.isa.gov.il and www.maya.tase.co.il and which will be accessible at the "Investor Information" portion of our website, as described below under "Shareholder Meetings".
If you hold ordinary shares in "street name," that is, through a bank, broker or other nominee that is admitted as a member of the TASE, your shares will only be voted if you provide instructions to the bank, broker or other nominee as to how to vote, or if you attend the special meeting in person.
If voting by mail, you must sign and date a proxy card in the form filed by us on MAGNA on January 13, 2023 and attach to it a certificate signed by the TASE Clearing House member through which the shares are held, which complies with the Israel Companies Regulations (Proof of Ownership for Voting in General Meetings)-2000 as proof of ownership of the shares on the Record Date, and return the proxy card, along with the proof of ownership certificate, to us, as described in the instructions available on MAGNA.
If you choose to attend the special meeting (where ballots will be provided), you must bring the proof of ownership certificate from the TASE's Clearing House member through which the shares are held, indicating that you were the beneficial owner of the shares on the Record Date.
Under the terms of the Deposit Agreement between the Company, The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary, or BNY Mellon, and the holders of our ADSs, BNY Mellon shall endeavor (insofar as is practicable) to vote or cause to be voted the number of shares represented by ADSs in accordance with the instructions provided by the holders of ADSs to BNY Mellon. For ADSs that are held in "street name", through a bank, broker or other nominee, the voting process will be based on the underlying beneficial holder of the ADSs directing the bank, broker or other nominee to arrange for BNY Mellon to vote the ordinary shares represented by the ADSs in accordance with the beneficial holder's voting instructions. If no instructions are received by BNY Mellon from any holder of ADSs (whether held directly by a beneficial holder or in "street name") with respect to any of the shares represented by the ADSs on or before the date established by BNY Mellon for such purpose, BNY Mellon shall not vote or attempt to vote the shares represented by such ADSs.
You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this document and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, shareholders who hold ADSs in more than one brokerage account will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which ADSs are held. Shareholders of record whose shares are registered in more than one name will receive more than one proxy card. You should complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card you receive.
Our Board of Directors urges you to vote your shares so that they will be counted at the special meeting or at any postponements or adjournments of the special meeting.
By appointing "proxies", shareholders and ADS holders may vote at the special meeting whether or not they attend. If a properly executed proxy in the attached form is received by us at least 48 hours prior to the special meeting (and received by BNY Mellon no later than the date indicated on the voting instruction card, in the case of ADS holders), all of the shares represented by the proxy shall be voted as indicated on the form or, if no preference is noted, shall be voted in favor of the matter described above, and in such manner as the holder of the proxy may determine with respect to any other business as may come before the special meeting or any adjournment thereof. Shareholders and ADS holders may revoke their proxies at any time before the deadline for receipt of proxies by filing with us (in the case of holders of ordinary shares) or with BNY Mellon (in the case of holders of ADSs), a written notice of revocation or duly executed proxy bearing a later date.

Proxies are being distributed to shareholders and ADS holders on or about January 13, 2023. Certain officers, directors, employees, and agents of ours, none of whom will receive additional compensation therefore, may solicit proxies by telephone, emails, or other personal contact. We will bear the cost for the solicitation of the proxies, including postage, printing, and handling, and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding material to beneficial owners of shares and ADSs.
To the extent you would like to submit a position statement with respect to any of the proposals described in this proxy statement pursuant to the Companies Law, 5759- 1999 (the "Israeli Companies Law"), you may do so by delivery of appropriate notice to our offices (Attention: Chief Financial Officer) located at 10 Bareket Street, Kiryat Matalon, PO Box 7537, Petach Tikva 4951778, Israel, not later than ten days before the convening of the special meeting (i.e., February 11, 2023). Response of the Board of Directors to the position statement may be submitted not later than five days before the convening of the special meeting (i.e., February 16, 2023).
At the close of business on January 12, 2023, we had outstanding 815,746,293 ordinary shares. Each ordinary share (including ordinary shares represented by ADSs) outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date is entitled to one vote upon each of the matters to be voted on at the special meeting.
Under our articles of association, the special meeting will be properly convened if at least two shareholders attend the meeting in person or sign and return proxies, provided that they hold shares representing at least 25% of our voting power. If such quorum is not present within half an hour from the time scheduled for the meeting, the meeting will be adjourned for the next day, February 22, 2023, at 3:00 p.m. Israel time at our offices. At the reconvened meeting, if there is no quorum within half an hour from the time scheduled for the meeting, any number of our shareholders present in person or by proxy shall constitute a lawful quorum.
The approval of Proposal 1 is subject to the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented and voting on such proposal in person or by proxy. In addition, the shareholders' approval must either include at least a majority of the ordinary shares voted by shareholders who are not controlling shareholders nor are they shareholders who have a personal interest in the proposal, or the total ordinary shares of non-controlling shareholders and non-interested shareholders voted against the proposal must not represent more than 2% of the outstanding ordinary shares.
Under the Israeli Companies Law, in general, you will be deemed to be a controlling shareholder if you have the power to direct our activities, otherwise than by reason of being a director or other office holder of ours, if you hold 25% or more of the voting rights in our Company or have the right to appoint the majority of the directors of the Company or its chief executive officer, and you are deemed to have a personal interest if any member of your immediate family or their spouse has a personal interest in the adoption of the proposal. In addition, you are deemed to have a personal interest if a company, other than Can-Fite, that is affiliated to you has a personal interest in the adoption of the proposal. Such company is a company in which you or a member of your immediate family serves as a director or chief executive officer, has the right to appoint a director or the chief executive officer, or owns 5% or more of the outstanding shares. However, you are not deemed to have a personal interest in the adoption of the proposal if your interest in such proposal arises solely from your ownership of our shares, or to a matter that is not related to a relationship with a controlling shareholder.
In the proxy card and voting instruction card attached to the proxy statement you will be asked to indicate whether you have a personal interest with respect to the proposal. If any shareholder casting a vote in connection hereto does not notify us whether or not they have a personal interest with respect to the proposal, their vote with respect to the proposal will be disqualified.
The approval of Proposal 2 is subject to the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented and voting on such proposal in person or by proxy.
If you provide specific instructions (mark boxes) with regard to certain proposals, your shares will be voted as you instruct. If you sign and return your proxy card or voting instruction form without giving specific instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our Board of Directors. The proxy holders will vote in their discretion on any other matters that properly come before the meeting.
If you are a shareholder of record and do not return your proxy card, your shares will not be voted. If you hold shares (or ADSs representing shares) beneficially in a street name, your shares will also not be voted at the meeting if you do not return your proxy card or voting instruction card to instruct your broker or BNY Mellon how to vote. For all proposals, a broker (and BNY Mellon) may only vote in accordance with instructions from a beneficial owner of shares or ADSs.
Copies of the proxy card and voting instruction card, the Notice of the Special General Meeting and this Proxy Statement are available at the "Investor Information" portion of our website, www.canfite.com. The contents of that website are not a part of this Proxy Statement.
We are subject to the information reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act, applicable to foreign private issuers. We fulfill these requirements by filing reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or Commission. Our filings with the Commission may be inspected without charge at the Commission's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room can be obtained by calling the Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330. Our filings are also available to the public on the Commission's website at http://www.sec.gov.
As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements. The circulation of this notice and proxy statement should not be taken as an admission that we are subject to the proxy rules under the Exchange Act.
The Companies Law requires all public Israeli companies, including companies whose shares are only listed outside of Israel, to adopt a written compensation policy, which sets forth their policy regarding the terms of office and employment of office holders, including compensation, equity awards, severance and other benefits, as well as indemnification undertakings and exemption from liability.
The compensation policy must be approved by the board of directors, after considering the recommendations of the compensation committee of the Company. The compensation policy must also be approved by the shareholders of the Company as prescribed in the Companies Law.
The compensation policy—or an amended version thereof—must be approved once again by the compensation committee, board of directors and shareholders every three years following the last adoption thereof.
Our existing compensation policy was approved by our shareholders on February 20, 2020. In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Law, our compensation committee reviewed and adopted a renewed written compensation policy for our executives, which sets forth our policy regarding the terms of office and employment of office holders as prescribed under the Companies Law. A copy of the proposed renewed Can-Fite Compensation Policy is attached as Annex A to the proxy statement. Our board of directors subsequently approved the renewed policy and recommended that it be adopted by the shareholders.

It is proposed that at the special meeting the following resolution be adopted:
"RESOLVED, that the Can-Fite Compensation Policy in the renewed form attached as Annex A to the Proxy Statement, dated January 13, 2023, with respect to the special meeting, be, and hereby is, approved in all respects."
Our Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the foregoing proposal.
In modern companies laws the concept of par value of shares is increasingly becoming obsolete. The rationale for the par value concept was originally to set the maximum liability of a shareholder and to protect creditors of a company. For all intents and purposes, the par value of a share represented the minimum legal price for which a company may issue its shares. Nonetheless, where the par value does not indicate the real economic value of the share, a par value regime may be misleading and lead to superfluous accounting complexity. International trends calling for the adoption of a no-par value regime believe that such regime may provide companies with enhanced flexibility in designing the structure of the share capital. The Company therefore desires to cancel its par value.
The proposed cancellation of the par value of the Company's ordinary shares does not implicate in any way a change in the number of shares included in the authorized share capital of the Company and/or in the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company and/or or in the proportion of the holdings of the shareholders in the Company's issued capital. Moreover, the cancellation of the par value of the Company's ordinary shares will not alter in any way the rights bestowed by an ordinary share to its holder in relation to right to vote, receive dividends and to participate in distributions as set forth in the Company' articles of association.
It is proposed that at the special meeting the following resolution be adopted:
"RESOLVED, that the par value of the Company's ordinary shares will be canceled, such that the Company's authorized share capital will be equal to NIS 1,250,000,000 divided into 5,000,000,000 ordinary shares with no par value, and the Company's articles of association will be amended accordingly."
Our Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the forgoing proposal.
YOU SHOULD RELY ONLY ON THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT OR THE INFORMATION FURNISHED TO YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THIS PROXY STATEMENT WHEN VOTING ON THE MATTERS SUBMITTED TO SHAREHOLDER AND ADS HOLDERS VOTE HEREUNDER. WE HAVE NOT AUTHORIZED ANYONE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH INFORMATION THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT IS CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT. THIS PROXY STATEMENT IS DATED JANUARY 13, 2023. YOU SHOULD NOT ASSUME THAT THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT IS ACCURATE AS OF ANY DATE OTHER THAN JANUARY 13, 2023, AND THE MAILING OF THIS DOCUMENT TO SHAREHOLDERS AND ADS HOLDERS SHOULD NOT CREATE ANY IMPLICATION TO THE CONTRARY.

Granting bonuses to officers and the Active Chairman of the Board of Directors is intended to provide officers and the Active Chairman of the Board of Directors with incentives to achieve targets and objects which contribute in the long-term to achieve the Company's business targets and strategic plans, as determined from time to time by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company's success creates an identity of interests with the officers serving in it, as its success is also their success.
The Company's Board of Directors, after receiving recommendations from the Compensation Committee may determine, every year, a bonus plan for the Company's officers and Active Chairman of the Board of Directors, which will be based on the annual budget approved by the Board of Directors and all as set forth below.
-8-
The weight given to the all-inclusive Company target will be between 30% - 50% of the total bonus.
7.5.2 Personal measured targets: These targets will be determined for each officer personally by the CEO (for officers at the level of vice president) and will be based on measurable parameters in the field of the professional responsibility of every officer in the Company. The personal measurable targets will include up to three personal targets.
The weight given to the personal measured targets will be between 30% - 50% of the total bonus.
7.5.3 Discretion of the Manager: The evaluation of the performance of officers at the level of vice president will be done by the Company's CEO. The evaluation of performance of every officer, will relate to his contribution to the Company during the year for which the bonus is paid, separately from the financial bonuses and the personal bonuses.
The weight given to the discretion of the manager will not exceed 25% of the total bonus.
Notwithstanding paragraph 7.5 above, the Compensation Committee and the Company Board of Directors may authorize the granting of a grant that shall not exceed the maximum grant as specified in paragraph 7.4.3 above to an officer who is subordinate to the CEO, according to criteria which are not measurable pursuant to the provisions of the First Appendix A of the Companies Law.
-9-
The Company's Board of Directors, with the recommendation of the Compensation Committee will be entitled to grant a one-time bonus to an officer for a significant event or events in the Company which are not included in the targets as specified in paragraph 7.5 above. The amount of the one-time bonus will not exceed (3) times the amount of the fixed compensation (monthly). In the event of a change in control in the Company, members of the Board of Directors in the Company will be entitled to receive a one-time bonus up to the fixed annual compensation amount of the directors.
7.11 Should it become clear that after payment of the annual bonus or the one-time bonus, whichever relevant, that the calculation of the bonus is carried out based on data in which it became clear were incorrect as a result of an error in good faith and were restated in the Company's financial statements during a period of three periodic consecutive financial statements after the date of payment of the grant, the officers will reimburse the Company the part of the bonus paid to them, which was based, as mentioned, on incorrect data, and this within six (6) months from the date of publication of the restated financial statements. The amount to be repaid by the officers will be linked to the consumer price index as from the date of publication of the restated statements until the date of actual repayment.
-10-
As part of the terms of tenure and employment of officers in the Company, the Company combines in its compensation package a capital compensation component. A component of this type is an incentive for the officers, by their participation in the profits and economic success of the Company. In addition, this compensation contributes to increasing the officer's identification with the Company, so that the officer will remain in it and see it as his future. The capital compensation creates a certain inspiration among the officers, who aspire to be part of the Company's success and receive part of its profits. The capital compensation component also enables the Company to employ skilled people while spreading the salary burden so that it limits the cash flow burden on the Company. The capital compensation component, while reducing the burden of expenses, enables the Company to free investments and take risks, which are defined by the Company's Board of Directors by entering into additional and new projects.
From recognizing the advantages of the capital compensation component as part of the total salary package to officers in the Company, the Company may combine in the compensation package of officers in it with a capital compensation component, all in accordance with the following:
-11-
Notwithstanding, the Board of Directors may decide not to approve such acceleration of vesting.
In the event of dismissal of an officer by the Company (not due to "grounds" as defined in the employment/services agreement signed / which will be signed with the officer) or in the event of resignation of the officer in the Company in circumstances which require severance pay in accordance with the Law, in addition to the severance pay that the Company is obligated to pay to the officer by Law, the Company may, with the approval of the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors, also pay the officer the following payments:
| CEO | Up to 6 salaries |
|---|---|
| Active Chairman | Up to 6 salaries |
| Vice President | Up to 3 salaries |
10.1.4 The salary to be paid during the period of prior notice will be calculated according to the last salary (and according to the fixed compensation only, i.e., not including bonuses paid to the officer) but including related social benefits paid to the officer prior to the date of dismissal / resignation, in such a situation that entitles payment of severance pay.
10.2.1 The Compensation Committee and the Company's Board of Directors will be entitled to approve payment of a retirement grant to officers in the Company on the date of their retirement, provided that the retirement grant will not exceed the following:
| Worked in the Company over 10 years |
