("Compugen" or the "Company") in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board" or "Board of Directors") of proxies for use at the Company's 2019 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof (the "Meeting").

RECORD DATE AND VOTING RIGHTS

Only holders of record of Ordinary Shares at the close of business on Thursday, August 12, 2019, the record date for determining those shareholders eligible to vote at the Meeting, will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting and any postponements or adjournments thereof. At such time, each issued and outstanding Ordinary Share will be entitled to one vote upon each of the matters to be presented at the Meeting.

PROXY PROCEDURE

A form of proxy for use at the Meeting and a return envelope for the proxy are also enclosed.

If specified by a shareholder on the form of proxy, the Shares represented thereby will be voted in accordance with such specification. If a choice is not specified by a shareholder with respect to any proposal, the form of proxy will be voted "FOR" any such proposal and in the discretion of the proxies with respect to all other matters which may properly come before the meeting and any and all adjournments thereof. On all matters considered at the Meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as neither a vote "FOR" nor "AGAINST" the matter, although they will be counted in determining if a quorum is present. Broker non-votes are votes that brokers holding shares of record for their clients are, pursuant to applicable stock exchange or other rules, precluded from casting in respect of certain non-routine proposals because such brokers have not received specific instructions from their clients as to the manner in which such shares should be voted on those proposals and as to which the brokers have advised the Company that, accordingly, they lack voting authority.

Shareholders whose shares are registered with a member of the TASE should deliver or mail (via registered mail) their completed proxy to the Company's office, attention: General Counsel, together with an ownership certificate confirming his or her share ownership as of the record date, which certificate must be approved by a recognized financial institution, i.e. that TASE member through which he or she hold their shares, as required by the Israeli Companies Regulations (Proof of Ownership of Shares for Voting at General Meeting) of 2000, as amended. Such shareholder is entitled to receive the ownership certificate in a branch of the relevant TASE member or by mail to his or her address, if the shareholder so requested. Such a request must be made in advance for a particular securities account. Alternatively, shareholders who hold shares through members of TASE may vote electronically via the electronic voting system of the Israel Securities Authority up to six (6) hours before the time set for the Meeting. If applicable, shareholders may request instructions about electronic voting from the TASE member through which they hold their shares.

Shareholders may revoke the authority granted by their execution of proxies at any time before the effective exercise thereof by: (i) filing with the Company a written notice of revocation or duly executed proxy bearing a later date; (ii) electronically voting at a later date; or (iii) voting in person at the Meeting. However, if a shareholder attends the Meeting and does not elect to vote in person, his or her proxy or electronic voting will not be revoked.

Proxies for use at the Meeting are being solicited by the Board of Directors of the Company chiefly by mail. The Company 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 Ordinary Shares. In addition to solicitation by mail, certain of the Company's officers, directors, employees, consultants and agents may solicit proxies by telephone, electronic mail or other personal contact. None of the aforementioned officers, directors, employees, consultants or agents of the Company will receive additional compensation for such solicitation.

QUORUM

Two (2) or more shareholders, present in person, by proxy, by proxy card or by electronic voting, and holding together Ordinary Shares conferring in the aggregate twenty five percent (25%) or more of the voting power of the Company, shall constitute a quorum at the Meeting. If within half an hour from the time set for the meeting a quorum is not present, the Meeting shall stand adjourned to October 2, 2019, at the same time and place or to such other later day, time and place as the directors may determine and specify in the publication with respect to such adjourned General Meeting.

ITEM NO. 2

INCREASE THE COMPANY'S AUTHORIZED SHARE CAPITAL AND AMEND AND RESTATE THE COMPANY'S MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION TO REFLECT THE SAME

Background

Under each of our Memorandum of Association ("Memorandum") and Articles, there is specification of the Company's current authorized share capital, which is NIS 1,000,000 (one million New Israeli Shekels) divided into 100,000,000 ordinary shares of a nominal value of NIS 0.01 each.

Such authorized share capital of the Company has been issued throughout its history as well as in the Company's public offerings and private equity issuance of its ordinary shares in 2018. The Company wishes to maintain a sufficient reserve of authorized but unissued ordinary shares available, in order to allow the Company to have sufficient authorized share capital to ensure its future growth and potential future needs, to the extent necessary for various corporate purposes, and to support its ongoing activities and clinical program, including without limitation, by way of offerings of its ordinary shares and the issuance of its ordinary shares in connection with any future corporate strategic transaction or equity grant. Unless the authorized share is increased as requested below – the ability of the Company to perform such actions will be impaired. As of July 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding 62,394,260 ordinary shares.

It is now proposed to increase the Company's authorized share capital from NIS 1,000,000 to NIS 2,000,000 divided into 200,000,000 ordinary shares of a nominal value of NIS 0.01 each, by amending Section 4 of the Memorandum and Section 5 of the Articles to reflect such increase.

The Memorandum and Articles, including the revised authorized share capital, are attached as Annexes A1 (the Memorandum in Hebrew), A2 (the Memorandum in English) and A3 (the Articles), respectively, to this Proxy Statement.

It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:

"RESOLVED, to increase the Company's authorized share capital by NIS 1,000,000 (one million New Israeli Shekels), to NIS 2,000,000 (two million New Israeli Shekels) divided into 200,000,000 (two hundred million) Ordinary Shares, of a nominal value of NIS 0.01 each, and to amend and restate the Company's Memorandum and Articles to reflect the same, as set forth in Annexes A1 (the Memorandum in Hebrew), A2 (the Memorandum in English) and A3 (the Articles), respectively, to the Proxy Statement."

Required Vote

The Board recommends that the shareholders vote "FOR" the proposed resolution.

ITEM NO. 3

AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S COMPENSATION POLICY

As required under the Companies Law, the Company maintains a compensation policy which provides a framework for terms of office and employment of our Office Holders, including compensation, equity awards, severance and other benefits, the grant of an exemption from liability, insurance, and an undertaking to indemnify or indemnification. The adoption of the Company's Compensation Policy was originally approved by our Shareholders on September 17, 2013, and amendments were subsequently approved on July 29, 2015 and on October 19, 2017 (the "Compensation Policy"). The Companies Law also requires that the Compensation Policy be reviewed from time to time by the Compensation Committee and the Board, to consider its adequacy and propose amendments to the extent it finds that the Compensation Policy is inadequate or should otherwise be amended.

8

Our Compensation Policy provides, among other things, that the Company purchase and periodically renew, at the Company's expense, insurance coverage in respect of the liability of its current and future Office Holders ("D&O Insurance"), to the maximum extent permitted by law, of up to US\$50 million and the annual premium shall be up to US\$350,000, and will include coverage with respect to any public offering of shares or other securities of the Company. In addition, such insurance coverage may include "run-off" provisions covering an Office Holder's liability following termination of service or employment. The Compensation Policy authorizes our Compensation Committee to increase the coverage purchased, and/or the premium paid for such policies if such increase exceeds the defined caps set forth above by up to 20% (beyond such caps) in any year, as compared to the previous year, or cumulatively for a number of years, without additional shareholders' approval, if and to the extent permitted under the Companies Law. Due to an increased number of lawsuits against U.S. listed companies, specifically securities law class actions, and significant payments made recently by insurance companies to settle such claims and actions, our external insurance advisor indicated that current trends in the D&O Insurance markets show that (i) fewer insurance companies are offering D&O Insurance for Israeli U.S. listed companies, and (ii) the premiums for such policies have significantly increased market wide, and are currently well beyond the cap currently in our Compensation Policy. These trends result in Compugen's premium limitations under the Compensation Policy to be inadequate.

Therefore, our Compensation Committee and Board have approved, subject to shareholder approval, an amendment to the Compensation Policy according to which, the cap under the Compensation Policy with respect to the premium paid for D&O Insurance, shall be up to \$900,000 per year, to align such cap to current trends in the D&O Insurance market, and to ensure adequate coverage to the extent permitted by law.

In their review and approval of the proposed amendment to the Compensation Policy detailed above, our Compensation Committee and the Board took into account, among others, the considerations, principles and provisions set forth in the Companies Law.

Other than the foregoing increase in the cap under the Compensation Policy with respect to the annual premium paid for the Company's D&O Insurance, the terms of the Compensation Policy shall remain as currently in effect.

It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:

"RESOLVED, that the amendment to the Compensation Policy with respect to the maximum annual premium paid under the Company's D&O Insurance policy, as set forth in the Proxy Statement for the 2019 Annual General Meeting be, and hereby is, approved and adopted."

Required Vote

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Ordinary Shares represented and voting on this proposal at the Meeting in person, by proxy, by proxy card or by electronic voting is required for the approval of the amendment to our Compensation Policy; provided that, the majority of the shares voted in favor of this proposal are not held by "controlling shareholders" or shareholders with "personal interest" in the approval of such proposal, not taking into account any abstention, or that the total number of shares referred to above voted against this proposal, does not exceed two percent of the aggregate voting rights in the Company.

Under the Companies Law, in general, a person will be deemed to be a controlling shareholder if that person has the power to direct the activities of the company, otherwise than by reason of being a director or other Office Holder, and a person is deemed to have a personal interest if any member of the shareholder's immediate family, or the immediate family of a shareholder's 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 Compugen, that is affiliated with 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 from a matter that is not related to a relationship with a controlling shareholder.

Please note that we consider it highly unlikely that any of our shareholders is a controlling shareholder, or has a personal interest in this proposal. However, as required under Israeli law, the enclosed form of proxy requires that you specifically indicate whether you are, or are not, a controlling shareholder or have a personal interest in this proposal. Without indicating to this effect – we will not be able to count your vote with respect to this proposal.

The Board recommends that the shareholders vote "FOR" the proposed resolution.

ITEM NO. 4

RE-APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

Background

The Companies Law and our Articles provide that an independent auditor of the Company shall be appointed at the annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company, and that the independent auditor serve in this position until immediately following the date of the next annual general meeting.

General

The Company's current independent registered public accounting firm, Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global ("KFGK"), is hereby being nominated for reappointment as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019, and until the next annual general meeting of shareholders.

KFGK has served as the Company independent auditor since 2002 and has no relationship with the Company or with any affiliate of the Company except as auditor, tax consultant and as a provider of other consultancy services.

As a result of the combined provisions of the Israeli law, the Articles and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm requires the approval of the shareholders of the Company, and its remuneration requires the approval of the Board, following approval and recommendation by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee and the Board have reviewed, and are satisfied with, the performance of KFGK, and have approved and are recommending to shareholders to approve their re-appointment as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019, and until the next annual general meeting.

The Audit Committee's policy is to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, KFGK. These services may include audit services, tax services and other consulting services. Additional services may be pre-approved by the Audit Committee on an individual basis. Once services have been pre-approved, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm and management then report to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis regarding the extent of services actually provided in accordance with the applicable pre-approval, and regarding the fees for the services performed. Such fees for 2018 and 2017 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with these procedures.

The following table presents the aggregate amounts of fees paid or to be paid by the Company to KFGK for the services rendered in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

	2018	2017
Audit Fees	\$	148,500 \$ 157,500
Audit Related Fees	\$ 90,000 \$	15,000
Tax Fees	\$ 6,500 \$	2,500
Total	\$ 245,000 \$ 175,000

"Audit Fees" are fees for professional services rendered by our principal accountant in connection with the integrated audit (including review of internal control over financial reporting) of our consolidated annual financial statements and review of our unaudited interim financial statements;

"Audit Related Fees" are fees for assurance and related services rendered by our principal accountant in connection with the audit and other assignments including consultancy and consents with respect to an underwritten public offering and related prospectus supplements filed with the SEC;

"Tax Fees" are fees for services rendered by our principal accountant in connection with tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning which in year 2018 and 2017 were consultancy relating to withholding tax on payments to foreign suppliers and Annual Israeli tax reports.

It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:

"RESOLVED, that Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, be re-appointed as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019, and until the next annual general meeting of shareholders."

Required Vote

The affirmative vote of a majority of the Ordinary Shares represented and voting on this proposal at the Meeting in person, by proxy, by proxy card or by electronic voting, is required for the approval of the above resolution.

The Board recommends that the shareholders vote "FOR" the proposed resolution.

RECEIPT AND CONSIDERATION OF THE REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM AND THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

At the Meeting, our auditor's report and the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 will be presented. The Company will hold a discussion with respect thereto at the Meeting, as required by the Companies Law. This item will not involve a vote of the shareholders.

The foregoing auditor's report and the audited consolidated financial statements, as well as our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018 (filed with the SEC on March 21, 2019), may be viewed on our website – http://www. http://cgen.com/investors/reports, through the EDGAR website of the SEC at www.sec.gov, through the Israeli Securities Authority's electronic filing system at: http://www.magna.isa.gov.il, or through the website of the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. at: http://maya.tase.co.il. None of the auditor's report, audited consolidated financial statements, Form 20-F or the contents of our website form part of the proxy solicitation material.

By Order of the Board of Directors,

Unless otherwise stipulated in the resolution of the Board of Directors (and in the notice hereafter referred to), each payment in response to a call shall be deemed to constitute a pro rata payment on account of all shares in respect of which such call was made.
(b) Notice of any call shall be given in writing to the shareholder(s) in question not less than fourteen (14) days prior to the time of payment, specifying the time and place of payment, and designating the person to whom such payment shall be made; provided however, that before the time for any such payment, the Board of Directors may, by notice in writing to such shareholder(s), revoke such call in whole or in part, extend such time, or alter such person and/or place. In the event of a call payable in installments, only one notice thereof need be given.
(c) If, by the terms of allotment of any share or otherwise, any amount is made payable at any fixed time, every such amount shall be payable at such time as if it were a call duly made by the Board of Directors and of which due notice had been given, and all the provisions herein contained with respect to such calls shall apply to each such amount.

The Board of Directors shall, however, be at liberty to waive the payment of interest, wholly or in part. No shareholder shall be entitled to receive any dividend or to exercise any privileges as a shareholder until they have paid all calls for the time being due and payable on every share held by them whether alone or jointly with any other person along with interest and expenses, if any.
(f) Upon the allotment of shares, the Board of Directors may provide for differences among the allottees of such shares as to the amount of calls and/or the times of payment thereof.

15. Prepayment

With the approval of the Board of Directors, any shareholder may pay to the Company any amount not yet payable in respect of such shareholder's shares, and the Board of Directors may approve the payment of interest on any such amount until the same would be payable if it had not been paid in advance, at such rate and time(s) as may be approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may at any time cause the Company to repay all or any part of the money so advanced, without premium or penalty. Nothing in this Article 15 shall derogate from the right of the Board of Directors to make any call before or after receipt by the Company of any such advance.

16. Forfeiture and Surrender

(a) If any shareholder fails to pay any amount payable in respect of a call, or interest thereon as provided for herein, on or before the day fixed for payment of the same, the Company, by resolution of the Board of Directors, and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, may at any time thereafter, so long as the said amount or interest remains unpaid, forfeit all or any of the shares in respect of which said call had been made. Any expense incurred by the Company in attempting to collect any such amount or interest, including, inter alia, attorneys' fees and costs of legal suit, shall be added to, and shall, for all purposes (including the accrual of interest thereon), constitute a part of the amount payable to the Company in respect of such call.
(b) Upon the adoption of a resolution of forfeiture, the Board of Directors shall cause notice thereof to be given to such shareholder, which notice shall state that, in the event of the failure to pay the entire amount so payable within a period stipulated in the notice (which period shall not be less than fourteen (14) days and which may be extended by the Board of Directors), such shares shall be ipso facto forfeited, provided, however, that, prior to the expiration of such period, the Board of Directors may nullify such resolution of forfeiture, but no such nullification shall stop the Board of Directors from adopting a further resolution of forfeiture in respect of the non-payment of the same amount.
(c) Whenever shares are forfeited as herein provided, all dividends theretofore declared in respect thereof and not actually paid shall be deemed to have been forfeited at the same time.
(d) The Company, by resolution of the Board of Directors, may accept the voluntary surrender of any share.
(e) Any share forfeited or surrendered as provided herein shall become the property of the Company, and the same, subject to the provisions of these Articles, may be sold, reallotted or otherwise disposed of as the Board of Directors thinks fit.
(f) Any shareholder whose shares have been forfeited or surrendered shall cease to be a shareholder in respect of the forfeited or surrendered shares, but shall, notwithstanding, be liable to pay, and shall forthwith pay, to the Company, all calls, interest and expenses owing upon or in respect of such shares at the time of forfeiture or surrender, together with interest thereon from the time of forfeiture or surrender until actual payment, at the rate prescribed in Article 14(e) above, and the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may enforce the payment of such moneys, or any part thereof, but shall not be under any obligation to do so. In the event of such forfeiture or surrender, the Company, by resolution of the Board of Directors, may accelerate the date(s) of payment of any or all amounts then owing by the shareholder in question (but not yet due) in respect of all shares owned by such shareholder, solely or jointly with another, and in respect of any other matter or transaction whatsoever.
(g) The Board of Directors may at any time, before any share so forfeited or surrendered shall have been sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of, nullify the forfeiture or surrender on such conditions as it thinks fit, but no such nullification shall stop the Board of Directors from re-exercising its powers of forfeiture pursuant to this Article 16.
1. Lien
2. (a) Except to the extent the same may be waived or subordinated in writing, the Company shall have a first and paramount lien upon all the shares registered in the name of each shareholder (without regard to any equitable or other claim or interest in such shares on the part of any other person), and upon the proceeds of the sale thereof, for such shareholders debts, liabilities and engagements arising from any cause whatsoever, solely or jointly with another, to or with the Company, whether the period for the payment, fulfillment or discharge thereof shall have actually arrived or not. Such lien shall extend to all dividends from time to time declared in respect of such share. Unless otherwise provided, the registration by the Company of a transfer of shares shall be deemed to be a waiver on the part of the Company of the lien (if any) existing on such shares immediately prior to such transfer.
3. (b) The Board of Directors may cause the Company to sell any shares subject to such lien when any such debt, liability or engagement has matured, in such manner as the Board of Directors may think fit, but no such sale shall be made unless such debt, liability or engagement has not been satisfied within fourteen (14) days after written notice of the intention to sell shall have been served on such shareholder, or such shareholder's executors or administrators.
4. (c) The net proceeds of any such sale, after payment of the costs thereof, shall be applied in or toward satisfaction of the debts, liabilities or engagements of such shareholder (whether or not the same have matured), or any specific part of the same (as the Company may determine), and the residue (if any) shall be paid to the shareholder, such shareholder's executors, administrators or assigns.

18. Sale after Forfeiture or Surrender or in Enforcement of Lien

Upon any sale of shares after forfeiture or surrender or for enforcing a lien, the Board of Directors may appoint a person to execute an instrument of transfer of the shares so sold and cause the purchaser's name to be entered in the Register in respect of such shares, and the purchaser shall not be bound to see to the regularity of the proceedings, or to the application of the purchase money, and after such purchaser's name has been entered in the Register in respect of such shares, the validity of the sale shall not be impeached by any person, and the remedy of any person aggrieved by the sale shall be in damages only and against the Company exclusively.

19. Redeemable Shares

The Company may, subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, issue redeemable shares and redeem the same upon such terms and conditions as determined by the Board of Directors.

TRANSFER OF SHARES

20. Effectiveness and Registration

Any transfer of shares of the Company which have not been fully paid-up will be subject to the approval of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may, at its sole discretion, refuse to approve a transfer of shares as aforesaid, without the need to provide reasoning for its decision. The shares of the Company, which have been fully paid-up are freely transferable. No transfer of shares shall be registered or, if such approval is required, approved by the Board of Directors, unless a proper instrument of transfer (in form and substance satisfactory to the Board of Directors) has been submitted to the Company (or its transfer agent), together with the share certificate(s) (if such have been issued) and such other evidence of title as the Board of Directors may require.

60. Amount Payable by Way of Dividends

(a) Subject to the provisions of these Articles and subject to any rights or conditions attached at that time to any share in the capital of the Company granting preferential, special or deferred rights or not granting any rights with respect to dividends, the profits of the Company which shall be declared as dividends shall be distributed according to the proportion of the nominal value paid up or credited as paid up on account of the shares held at the date so appointed by the Company and in respect of which such dividend is being paid, without regard to the premium paid in excess of the nominal value, if any. No amount paid or credited as paid on a share in advance of calls shall be treated for purposes of this Article as paid on a share.
(b) No dividend shall carry interest against the Company.

61. Payment in Specie

(a) A dividend may be paid, wholly or partly, by the distribution of specific assets of the Company or by the distribution of specific assets, paid-up shares, debentures or debenture stock of any other company, or in any one or more such ways.
(b) Upon the determination of the Board of Directors, the Company (i) may cause any monies, investments, or other assets forming part of the undivided profits of the Company, standing to the credit of a reserve fund, or to the credit of a reserve fund for the redemption of capital, or in the hands of the Company and available for dividends, or representing premiums received on the issuance of shares and standing to the credit of the share premium account, to be capitalized and distributed among such of the shareholders as would be entitled to receive the same if distributed by way of dividend and in the same proportion, on the footing that they become entitled thereto as capital, or may cause any part of such capitalized fund to be applied on behalf of such shareholders in paying up in full, either at par or at such premium as the resolution may provide, any unissued shares or debentures or debenture stock of the Company which shall be distributed accordingly or in payment, in full or in part, of the uncalled liability on all issued shares or debentures or debenture stock if such liability exists, on a pro rata basis; and (ii) may cause such distribution or payment to be accepted by such shareholders in full satisfaction of their interest in the said capitalized sum.

62. Implementation of Powers under Articles 60 and 61

For the purpose of giving full effect to any resolution under Articles 60 or 61, the Board of Directors may settle any difficulty which may arise in regard to the distribution as it thinks expedient, and, in particular, may issue fractional certificates or make payment in lieu of fractional shares in an amount determined by the Board of Directors, and may determine the value for distribution of any specific assets, and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any shareholders upon the footing of the value so fixed, or that fractions of less value than the nominal value of one share may be disregarded in order to adjust the rights of all parties, and may vest any such cash, shares, debentures, debenture stock or specific assets in trustees upon such trusts for the persons entitled to the dividend or capitalized fund as may seem expedient to the Board of Directors.

63. Deductions from Dividends

The Board of Directors may deduct from any dividend or other moneys payable to any shareholder in respect of a share any and all sums of money then payable by such shareholder to the Company on account of calls or otherwise in respect of shares of the Company and/or on account of any other matter of transaction whatsoever.

(b) The Board of Directors may retain any dividend or other moneys payable or property distributable in respect of a share in respect of which any person is, under these Articles, entitled to become a shareholder, or which any person is, under these Articles, entitled to transfer, until such person shall become a shareholder in respect of such share or shall transfer the same.

65. Unclaimed Dividends

All unclaimed dividends or other moneys payable in respect of a share may be invested or otherwise made use of by the Board of Directors for the benefit of the Company until claimed. The payment by the Directors of any unclaimed dividend or such other moneys into a separate account shall not constitute the Company as a trustee in respect thereof, and any dividend unclaimed after a period of three (3) years from the date of declaration of such dividend, and any such other moneys unclaimed after a period of three (3) years from the date the same were payable, shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company; provided however, that the Board of Directors may, at its sole discretion, cause the Company to pay any such dividend or such other moneys, or any part thereof, to a person who would have been entitled thereto had the same not reverted to the Company.

66. Mechanics of Payment

Any dividend or other moneys payable in cash in respect of a share may be paid by check sent through the post to, or left at, the registered address of the person entitled thereto or by transfer to a bank account specified by such person (or, if two or more persons are registered as joint holders of such share or are entitled jointly thereto in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder or otherwise, to any one of such persons or to his bank account), or to such person and at such address as the person entitled thereto may direct in writing. Every such check shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent, or to such person as the person entitled thereto as aforesaid may direct, and payment of the check by the banker upon whom it is drawn shall be a good discharge to the Company. Every such check shall be sent at the risk of the person entitled to the money represented thereby.

67. Receipt from a Joint Holder

If two or more persons are registered as joint holders of any share, or are entitled jointly thereto in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder or otherwise, any one of them may give effectual receipts for any dividend or other moneys payable or property distributable in respect of such share.

Any notice or document may be served by any shareholder upon the Company by tendering the same in person to the Secretary or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company at the Office or by sending it by prepaid registered mail (airmail if posted outside Israel) to the Company at its Office.

(b) All notices to be given to the shareholders shall, with respect to any share to which persons are jointly entitled, be given to whichever of such persons is named first in the Register, and any notice so given shall be sufficient notice to the holders of such share.
(c) If requested by the Company, each shareholder shall provide the Company with the shareholder's full street and mailing address, as well, if available, with facsimile number and email address. Without derogating from Article 27 above, any shareholder whose address is not described in the Register, and who shall not have designated in writing an address for the receipt of notices, shall not be entitled to receive any notice from the Company.
(d) The Company may declare that any document(s) will be delivered or be available for review at the Office or any other place designated by the Board of Directors.

(g) Subject to applicable law, any shareholder, Director or other person entitled to receive notice in accordance with these Articles or law may waive notice, in advance or retroactively, in a particular case or type of case or generally, and if so, notice will be deemed as having been duly served, and all proceedings or actions for which the notice was required will be deemed valid.
(h) Any person entitled to a share by operation of law or by transfer, transmission or otherwise will be bound by any notice served or by any publication made pursuant to these Articles with respect to such share prior to his being registered in the Register as owner of the shares.
(i) It shall not be necessary to set forth in detail in any publication as provided for in Article 27(b) above, the full text of any proposed resolutions and a general description of the nature of the matters on the agenda will suffice. The Company shall be entitled, however, but shall be under no obligation to do so, to specify in any publication in respect of a meeting, a place and a time where and when the full text of proposed resolution(s) may be reviewed.
(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may give notice to any shareholder by posting a notice on the Company's website, filing an appropriate periodic report with the SEC, by publishing on one or more international wire services or in one or more newspapers or by publicizing in any other manner reasonably determined by the Company and the date of such posting, filing or other publication shall be deemed the date on which such notice has been served upon such shareholder. Where notice is given by more than one method, it will be deemed served on the earliest of such dates.
(k) The accidental omission to give notice to any shareholder pursuant to any applicable law or these Articles or the non-receipt of any such notice by any shareholder entitled to receive notice shall not invalidate any action, transaction, resolution or proceedings taken by the Company and/or at or by any General Meeting.
