PROXY STATEMENT

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON JANUARY 31, 2022

The enclosed proxy is being solicited by the board of directors (the "Board of Directors") of Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (the "Company" or "we," "us" or "our") for use at the Company's extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the "Meeting") to be held at the Company's offices, at 7 Golda Meir St., Ness Ziona, Israel, on January 31, 2022, at 3:00 p.m. Israel time, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof. However, we are monitoring developments with regard to the coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19"), and it is possible that the Meeting may be held solely by means of remote communication. In the event it is not possible or advisable to hold the Meeting in person, we will announce alternative arrangements for the Meeting as promptly as practicable.

Upon the receipt of a properly executed proxy in the form enclosed, the persons named as proxies therein will vote the Company's American Depositary Shares representing the Company's ordinary shares, no par value (the "Ordinary Shares") covered thereby in accordance with the directions of the shareholders executing the 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 each of the proposals described in this proxy statement.

Two or more shareholders present, personally or by proxy, holding not less than one third of the Company's 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 the same day, at 3:30 p.m. (half an hour later) Israel time. If a quorum is not present at the second meeting at the time appointed for such meeting, any number of shareholders present personally 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 as Ordinary Shares present for the purpose of determining a quorum.

We currently intend to hold the Meeting in person. However, depending on developments with respect to the COVID-19, we might hold the Meeting virtually on the above date and time instead of in person. If we determine that a change to a virtual meeting format is advisable or required, an announcement of such change will be made on our Investor Relations website at https://ir.foresightauto.com/ and on Form 6-K as promptly as practicable, and will be made available to the public on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (the "SEC") website at www.sec.gov and in addition at www.magna.isa.gov.il or https://maya.tase.co.il/.

Pursuant to the Companies Law, 5799-1999 (the "Companies Law"), Proposals No. 1 through 4 described hereinafter require the affirmative vote of the Company's shareholders holding at least a majority of the Company's Ordinary Shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter, provided that either: (i) the majority of the shares that are voted at the Meeting in favor of such Proposals, excluding abstentions, includes a majority of the votes of shareholders who are not controlling shareholders or 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 two percent (2%) of the total voting rights in the Company (the "Special Majority").

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/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; and (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.

For this purpose, a "controlling shareholder" is any shareholder that has the ability to direct the Company's activities (other than by means of being a director or office holder of the Company). A person is presumed to be a controlling shareholder if he or she holds or controls, by himself 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 the company if no other shareholder holds more than 50% of the voting rights in the company, is also presumed to be a controlling shareholder. "Means of control" is defined as any one of the following: (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.

In connection with Proposal No. 3, the Companies Law allows the board of directors of a company to approve such proposal even if the general meeting of shareholders has voted against its approval, provided that the company's compensation committee, and thereafter its board of directors, each determines to approve it, based on detailed arguments, and after having reconsidered the matter.

For the background regarding the Company's election to submit Proposals No. 1, 2 and 4 to the shareholders' approval by Special Majority, see Proposals No. 1 and 4 herein.

Any shareholder of the Company holding at least one percent of the outstanding voting rights of the Company wishing to add an additional agenda item for the meeting, may do so by submitting such proposed additional item, in writing, to the Company's offices, c/o Mr. Eli Yoresh, Chief Financial Officer, at 7 Golda Meir St., Ness Ziona, Israel, no later than December 30, 2021. To the extent that there are any additional agenda items that the Board determines to add as a result of any such submission, the Company will publish an updated agenda and proxy card with respect to the Meeting, no later than January 6, 2022, to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on Form 6-K, and will be made available to the public on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and in addition at www.magna.isa.gov.il or https://maya.tase.co.il/.

Holders of Ordinary Shares or holders of ADSs representing Ordinary Shares wishing to express their position on an agenda item for this Meeting may do so by submitting a written statement (a "Position Statement") to the Company's offices, c/o Mr. Eli Yoresh, at 7 Golda Meir St., Ness Ziona, Israel. Any Position Statement received will be furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K, and will be made available to the public on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and in addition at www.magna.isa.gov.il or https://maya.tase.co.il/. Position Statements should be submitted to the Company no later than January 21, 2022. A shareholder is entitled to contact the Company directly and receive the text of the proxy card and any Position Statement.

APPROVAL OF AN EXTENSION TO THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN FORESIGHT AUTOMOTIVE LTD., THE COMPANY'S WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY, AND MAGNA B.S.P. LTD.

Since January 2016, Magna B.S.P. Ltd. ("Magna"), the Company's significant shareholder, has been providing Foresight Automotive Ltd., the Company's wholly owned subsidiary (the "Subsidiary"), with software development and algorithmic services in consideration of monthly payments at agreed rates for each of Magna's employees actually involved in rendering such services, according to a development services agreement, originally approved by the Company's shareholders on December 22, 2015 for a period of three years, and amended and extended for additional period of three years by the Company's shareholders on January 28, 2019 (the "Development Agreement").

On December 9, 2021 and December 12, 2021, further to the Company's negotiations with Magna and discussions on this matter held at their respective previous meetings, the Audit, Compensation and Financial Statements Review Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") and the Board of Directors, respectively, approved an extension of the Development Agreement for up to an additional three years, commencing January 5, 2022, on the same terms approved by the Company's shareholders on January 28, 2019. An extract of those principal terms is attached as Exhibit A to the Proxy Statement.

Pursuant to the Companies Law, in general, all Israeli public companies, including Dual Companies, such as the Company, are required to approve transactions with their controlling shareholders or their relative by its audit or compensation committee, board of directors and shareholders (in that order), every three years. Although the statutory presumption of 'a controlling shareholder' set forth in the Companies Law does not apply to Mr. Siboni (Magna's Chief Executive Officer and controlling shareholder) and/or Magna (to the date of this Proxy Statement Magna holds approximately 11.12% of the Company's outstanding share capital), nevertheless, for the sake of good order, and taking into consideration that Mr. Siboni, through Magna, was a controlling shareholder on the date on which the Development Agreement was originally approved by the Company's shareholders, and on the date on which Mrs. Sivan Siboni Scherf's terms of service were previously approved, the Company considers the transactions under Proposals 1 and 2 as a transaction with a controlling shareholder, and therefore submits the extension of the Development Agreement for a period of up to additional three years, as well as the approval of Mrs. Siboni Scherf's terms of office, also to approval of the Company's shareholders by Special Majority.

On December 9, 2021, the Committee also resolved that in light of the unique circumstances of the Development Agreement, including the unique knowledge, capabilities and expertise of Magna, in the event Magna's engagement is not extended, the Company would incur a one-time, as well as continuing, costs of recruitment and training, which are substantially higher than the proposed costs associated with Magna's services, and therefore no competing process should be established, and such unique circumstances are deemed qualified as sufficient "other proceedings" in accordance with the provisions of Section 117 (1B) of the Companies Law.

In making their recommendation, the Committee and the Board of Directors each considered various factors, including, among others, (a) the Subsidiary's need to preserve the services provided by Magna, in light of the significance and dependence of the Subsidiary on the continuance of such services due to the following factors: (i) as the developer of the Company's core technology, Magna has the unique knowledge, capabilities and expertise in the field in which the Company operates and is capable to provide the services in the scope, and at the quality, required by the Subsidiary; (ii) Magna's employees have extensive knowledge and experience in software development and algorithmics services and are experts in image processing and electrooptics; (iii) replacing Magna would require a long process of recruitment and training by the Subsidiary of respective employees – accordingly, in the event Magna's engagement is not extended, under the given circumstances the Company and/or the Subsidiary shall incur one-time, as well as continuing, costs of recruitment and training, which are substantially higher than the proposed costs associated with Magna's services; (iv) termination of Magna's services might adversely affect the Subsidiary's development schedule and time to market; (b) the Company and the Subsidiary are wellacquainted with the services rendered by Magna in the last six years and are highly satisfied with their quality; the Company believes that the services rendered by Magna played a key role in the rapid development of the Company's products; (c) extension of Magna's services is essential to the success of the Company, in particular since the Company is still at the stage of developing its technology; and (d) the right granted to the Subsidiary to terminate the Development Agreement (whereas Magna is not granted the same right), in a manner that enables the Subsidiary to adjust its expenses to the Subsidiary's actual requirements from to time, justifies the extension of Magna's engagement and the costs thereof.

In addition, the Committee and Board of Directors found the terms of the Development Agreement, as set forth in Exhibit A hereto, reasonable under the circumstances, beneficial to the Company in comparison to the customary market conditions (given, inter alia, that the services are provided 'at cost', with no profit margin), and that the approval thereof is in the best interests of the Company.

The shareholders of the Company will be requested to adopt the following resolution at the Meeting:

"RESOLVED, to approve an extension of the Development Agreement, on the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit A to the Proxy Statement, for a period of up to three years commencing January 5, 2022."

The approval of this proposal, as described above, requires the affirmative vote of a Special Majority (as defined in this proxy statement).

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

APPROVAL OF MRS. SIVAN SIBONI SCHERF'S TERMS OF SERVICE AS THE COMPANY'S VP HUMAN RESOURCES

Mrs. Sivan Siboni Scherf, Adv., the daughter of Mr. Haim Siboni, the Company's Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, has been employed by the Company since March 1, 2016 in various positions, and since January 2019 serves as the Company's VP of Human Resources. Mrs. Siboni Scherf is currently being paid a gross monthly salary of NIS 22,500 (approximately \$7,150).

Following the approval of the Committee and the Board of Directors, in their December 9, 2021 and December 12, 2021 respective meetings, the shareholders of the Company are requested to approve the following terms of service of Mrs. Siboni Scherf: (i) for 80% position with the Company, Mrs. Siboni Scherf shall be paid a gross monthly salary of NIS 23,750 (approximately \$7,500) during the first year of service, commencing on January 28, 2022 NIS 25,000 (approximately \$7,900) during the second year of service, and NIS 26,250 (approximately \$8,300) during the third year of service, (ii) study fund of 7.5% of the monthly salary and up to the applicable tax ceiling; (iii) paid annual leave of 20 working days per year; and (iv) cellular, lunch and other business expenses in accordance with the Company's policies, as well other social benefits in accordance with the applicable law; in addition, in her capacity as an officer of the Company, Mrs. Siboni Scherf shall be entitled to the same insurance, indemnification and exculpation arrangements, as currently in effect for the Company's officers; all of which is in accordance with the Company's Compensation Policy ("Mrs. Siboni Scherf's Compensation"). Mrs. Siboni Scherf's Compensation was determined, inter alia, based on the scope of her position and responsibilities with the Company.

Subject to approval of the Company's shareholders, Mrs. Siboni Scherf's Compensation shall be in effect for a period of three years commencing on January 28, 2022 (the date on which the previous three-year term, approved by the shareholders in January 2019, expires).

During the time in which she is not employed by the Company, Mrs. Siboni Scherf is employed, and is expected to continue to be employed, by Magna.

In making their recommendation to the Company's shareholders, the Committee and the Board of Directors each considered various factors, including, among others, (a) Mrs. Siboni Scherf's education, skills, expertise, professional experience and achievements; (b) Mrs. Siboni Scherf's position, wide scope of her responsibilities and previous compensation arrangements; and (c) whether Mrs. Siboni Scherf's Compensation reflects a fair and reasonable value for her services and is considered customary for such positions in companies of similar scopes of activities.

The Committee and the Board of Directors found Mrs. Siboni Scherf's Compensation reasonable under the circumstances, under market conditions, and that the approval thereof is in the best interests of the Company and is in accordance with the Company's Compensation Policy.

The shareholders of the Company will be requested to adopt the following resolution at the Meeting:

"RESOLVED, to approve Mrs. Siboni Scherf's Compensation as set forth in Proposal No. 2 to the Proxy Statement, for a period of three years commencing on January 28, 2022."

The approval of this proposal, as described above, requires the affirmative vote of a Special Majority (as defined in this proxy statement). For the background regarding the Company's election to submit this Proposal No. 2 to the shareholders' approval by Special Majority, see Proposal No. 1 herein.

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

TO APPROVE THE COMPANY'S AMENDED COMPENSATION POLICY

Pursuant to the Companies Law, all public Israeli companies, including Dual Companies such as the Company, 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 executives' and directors' compensation. Furthermore, according to the Companies Law, the compensation policy must generally be periodically reviewed by the compensation committee and the board of directors and needs to be re-approved once every three years by the board of directors, following recommendation by the compensation committee, and by a special majority of the Company's shareholders. The Company's current compensation policy (the "Current Compensation Policy") was approved by the Company's shareholders on January 28, 2019 and then amended with regard to certain specific issues on July 16, 2020 and on July 8, 2021.

On December 19, 2021, the Committee and the Company's Board of Directors, in their respective meetings, reviewed in depth the terms of the Current Compensation Policy, evaluated the need for adjustments and approved, and recommended the shareholders to approve, that the Current Compensation Policy be amended and restated as reflected in Exhibit B hereto (the "Amended and Restated Compensation Policy"). The process included, amongst other, a review of benchmark information relating to the executive compensation of five peer group companies.

The purpose of the proposed amendment is to update the Current Compensation Policy to meet the changing and competitive business environment where the Company operates and the compensation needs of its officers and reflect amendments that are required in light of the experience gained in the implementation of the Current Compensation Policy, as well as changes in common practice among similar companies. The Committee and the Board of Directors noted the progress made by the Company since the approval of the Current Compensation Policy.

When considering the Amended and Restated Compensation Policy, the Committee and Board of Directors considered numerous factors, including the advancement of the Company's objectives, the Company's business plan and its long-term strategy, and creation of appropriate incentives for directors and executive officers. The Committee and the Board of Directors also considered, among other things, the Company's risk management, size and the nature of its operations, the continuous growth of the Company over the years, the increased complexity of its business and the growing competition over talented managers in the technology sector, the market practice and reviewed various data and information they deemed relevant.

Similar to the Current Compensation Policy, the proposed Amended and Restated Compensation Policy is designed to promote retention and motivation of directors and executive officers, incentivize superior individuals' excellence, align the interests of the Company's directors and executive officers with the long-term performance of the Company and provide a risk management tool. To that end, a portion of an executive officer compensation package is targeted to reflect the Company's short and long-term goals, as well as the executive officer's individual performance, while taking into account each executive's skills, education, expertise and achievements. The Amended and Restated Compensation Policy includes limitations on the ratio between the variable and the total compensation of an executive officer and minimum vesting periods for equity-based compensation.

Pursuant to the proposed Amended and Restated Compensation Policy and similar to the Current Compensation Policy, the compensation that may be granted to an executive officer may include base salary, annual performance bonus, special bonus, equity-based compensation, benefits and termination of employment arrangements.

The main changes in the Amended and Restated Compensation Policy in comparison to the Current Compensation Policy are as follows: (i) increase of the maximum monthly base salary of VP's and other office holders who report to the Chief Executive Officer; (ii) removal of premium caps for directors and officers liability insurance policies which may be purchased by the Company, provided the premium and deductible amounts are in accordance with market conditions at the date of renewal or purchase and such amounts are not substantial to the Company; and (iii) allowance to purchase run-off insurance coverage. The Committee and the Board determined that it is advisable to retain all other provisions of the Current Compensation Policy.

A marked copy of the Amended and Restated Compensation Policy indicating the proposed amendments is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

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

"RESOLVED, to approve the Amended and Restated Compensation Policy for the Company's directors and officers, in the form attached as Exhibit B to the Proxy Statement, as of the date of this Meeting and for a three-year period as prescribed under applicable law, as set forth in Proposal No. 3 of the Proxy Statement."

The approval of the above proposal, as described above, requires the affirmative vote of a Special Majority (as defined in this proxy statement).

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

TO GRANT OPTIONS TO MR. MOSHE SCHERF, A MEMBER OF THE COMPANY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Consistent with the Company's compensation policy and as approved by the Committee, the Board of Directors and its shareholders, the Company made from time to time grants of equity-based compensation to its non-executive directors.

Mr. Moshe Scherf was appointed as a member of the Company's Board of Directors on July 8, 2021 and has not yet been awarded with options to purchase Company's Ordinary Shares. Mr. Scherf is the husband of Mrs. Sivan Siboni Scherf, VP Human Resources, who is the daughter of Mr. Haim Siboni.

On December 19, 2021, the Committee and Company's Board of Directors, in their respective meetings, approved, and recommended that the Company's shareholders approve, a grant of options to purchase up to 300,000 of the Company's Ordinary Shares under the Company's 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") to Mr. Scherf (the "Equity Grant" and the "Options", respectively). The number of Options proposed to be granted to Mr. Scherf is identical to the number of options granted to other members of the Board of Directors on their appointment. The Options equal approximately 0.093% of the Company's outstanding share capital and 0.086% of the Company's share capital on a fully diluted basis as of the date hereof. The exercise price of such Options will be NIS 2.29 per share (approximately \$0.73), which is equal to the exercise price of options recently granted to the Company's employees and certain service providers, and 52% higher than the Company's average share price on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange in the last 30 trading days prior to the date of the approval by the Company's Board of Directors. The Options shall vest quarterly as of January 1, 2022 and over a period of 36 months in 12 equal portions. The vesting of Options shall accelerate upon termination of Mr. Scherf's employment, resulting from a change of control in the Company or other exit event. Each vested Option shall be exercisable for 7 years from January 1, 2022, and any portion of the Options that has not been exercised by such date shall terminate and not be exercisable thereafter, and any portion of the Options that has not been exercised by such date shall terminate and not be exercisable thereafter. In the event that Mr. Scherf ceases to serve on the Company's Board of Directors (except in certain events specified in the Plan), all of Mr. Scherf's unvested Options shall expire immediately, and all vested options shall remain exercisable for a period of six months.

The Committee and the Board of Directors found the Equity Grant reasonable under the circumstances, under market conditions, and that the approval thereof is in the best interests of the Company and is in accordance with the Company's compensation policy.

In making its recommendation with regard to the approval of the Equity Grant, the Committee and the Board of Directors, each have also considered, among others: (a) the factors included in the Company's compensation policy, including among others, the position and responsibilities of Mr. Scherf; (b) that the Equity Grant reflects a fair and reasonable value for Mr. Scherf's services; and (c) the Equity Grant is an expression to Company's desire to maintain the threshold of directors' current equity-based compensation, taking into account that Mr. Scherf has yet been awarded with options to purchase Company's Ordinary Shares.

Pursuant to the Companies Law, in general, all Israeli public companies, including Dual Companies, such as the Company, are required to approve transactions with their controlling shareholders or their relative by its audit or compensation committee, board of directors and shareholders (in that order), every three years. As detailed above, although the statutory presumption of 'a controlling shareholder' set forth in the Companies Law does not apply to Mr. Siboni, nevertheless, for the sake of good order, the Company considers the Equity Grant as a transaction with a controlling shareholder, and therefore submits it also to approval of the Company's shareholders by Special Majority.

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

Remuneration Policy for Company's Office Holders

1. Introduction

  • 1.1 Pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Law, 1999 (hereafter "the Companies Law"), on December 19, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved a remuneration policy (hereafter – "the remuneration policy") with respect to the terms of service and employment of Company's office holders1 (hereafter – "the office holders"), after discussing and considering the recommendations of the Company's Remuneration Committee regarding this matter.
  • 1.2 The provisions of the remuneration 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 Remuneration Policy are as follows: (a) promoting the Company's goals, its work plan and its policy for the long-term; (b) remunerating and providing incentives to office holders, while considering the risks that the Company's activities involve; (c) adjusting the remuneration 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 remunerating those entitled for remuneration under the Remuneration 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, highlyskilled officers in a global and competitive market; and (e) adjusting the remuneration of office holders to the contribution of the office holder to the achievement of the Company's goals and maximization of its profits.
  • 1.4 This Remuneration Policy is a multi-annual policy that will be effective for a period of three years from the date of its approval, in accordance with Section 267A(c) of the Companies Law. This policy shall be brought forward for re-approval by the Company's Board of Directors and the general meeting of its shareholders (at the recommendation of the Company's Remuneration Committee) after three years have elapsed since the date of approval thereof and so forth, unless any changes need to be made to the remuneration policy in accordance with the law and/or in accordance with the Company's needs.
  • 1.5 Without derogating from the provisions set out in Section 1.4 above, the Company's Remuneration Committee and Board of Directors shall check, from time to time, whether the remuneration 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 remuneration 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.

1 The meaning of the term "office holder" is as defined in the Companies Law, i.e., general manager, chief business manager, deputy general manager, vice-general manager, any person filling any of these positions in the Company even if he holds a different title, and any other manager directly subordinate to the general manager.

2. The remuneration policy

2.1 Components of the remuneration policy

In accordance with the Company's remuneration policy, the remuneration of the Company's office holders shall be based on all or some of the following components:

  • 2.1.1 Basic salary component 2 – basic salary/monthly consultation fees;
  • 2.1.2 Social and related benefits social benefits as prescribed by law (pension savings, contributions towards severance pay, contributions towards training fund, vacation pay, sick leave, recreation pay, etc.) and related benefits, such as company vehicle/vehicle maintenance, telephone expenses, meals at the workplace, gifts on public holidays, etc.
  • 2.1.3 Variable cash remuneration (bonus) short and medium-term remuneration, which includes annual bonuses, which are based on results and achievement of targets. The Company may also determine that a certain office holder will be paid discretionary annual bonuses, taking into account his/her contribution to the Company and the restrictions placed under this policy.
  • 2.1.4 Variable equity-based remuneration share-based payment or another long-term remuneration (subject to the existence of valid long-term remuneration plans and provided that the Company decides to award such remuneration).

(the components in sections 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 above shall be called hereafter: "the variable components").

At the time of approval of the remuneration package of an office holder, the Remuneration Committee and Board of Directors of the Company shall assess the compliance of each of those components and of the total cost of employment with the criteria set out in this plan.

2.2 Parameters for reviewing remuneration terms

  • 2.2.2 The role of the office holder, his areas of responsibility and his employment terms under previous wage agreements entered into with this office holder;
  • 2.2.3 The office holder's contribution to the Company's business, the achievement of its strategic goals and implementation of its work plans, the maximization of its profits and the enhancement of its strength and stability.

2 Whenever the term "basic salary" is used in this remuneration policy, it refers to the "gross" monthly salary of that office holder, excluding any social benefits and related benefits). Whenever the term "annual basis salary" is used, it means the basic salary for the month of December in the relevant year times 12

  • 2.2.8 As to service and employment terms that include retirement grants the term of service or employment of the office holder, the terms of his service and employment over the course of this period, the Company's performances in the said period, the office holder's contribution to the achievement of the Company's goals, the maximization of its profits and the circumstances of the retirement.
  • 2.2.9 (a) The market conditions of the industry in which the Company operates at any relevant time, including the office holder's salary compared to the salaries of other office holders working in similar positions (or in position of comparable level) in companies whose characteristics are similar to those of the Company in terms of its activity (as described in section 2.3.1 below; (b) the availability of suitable candidates that can serve as office holders in the Company, the recruitment and retainment of the office holders and the need to offer an attractive remuneration package in a global competitive market; and (c) changes in the Company's area of activity and in the scope and complexity of its activities.

2.3 Payroll review

The Company will strive that the number of companies in such comparison will be not less than five.
  • 2.3.2 The payroll review will be conducted by the Company itself, or by an external advisor, at the Company's discretion.

2.4 Remuneration terms to new office holders

As a general rule, the remuneration terms of new office holders shall be approved before they start working for the Company and not in retrospect, except in exceptional circumstances.

  • 2.7.4.3 When determining the amount of the retirement grant, the Company will take into account, among other things, the period of service or employment of the office holder, the terms of service and employment over the course of this period, his contribution to the achievement of the Company's goals and maximization of its profits and the circumstances of the retirement.

2.8.1 Components of the bonus

  • With regard to the Company's CEO and an active chairman of the Board of Directors (other than CEO or active chairman of the Board of Directors who are the controlling shareholder of the Company or his relative) – most of the annual bonus will be based on measurable targets and an immaterial portion of the annual bonus (for that purpose "immaterial portion" – the higher of (a) a total of 3 (gross) monthly salaries or (b) 25% of the variable components of the bonus (actual bonus and equity-based payment) shall be a discretionary bonus that is based on qualitative criteria. Notwithstanding the above, if in a specific year the Company does not pay the CEO or the active chairman of the Board of Directors (as applicable) an annual bonus that is based on measurable targets (i.e., if the discretionary annual bonus paid to the CEO or the active chairman of the Board of Directors (as applicable) constitutes the total annual bonus paid on that year), then the amount of the discretionary bonus that the Company may pay to the CEO and to the active chairman of the Board of Directors (as applicable and separately) shall not exceed three (3) gross monthly salaries of that office holder.
  • With regard to office holders who report to the Company's CEO subject to the provisions of the law, office holders, who report to the CEO, may be eligible to an annual bonus that is based on measurable targets and to a discretionary annual bonus. It should be clarified that the whole amount of annual bonus payable to office holders, who report to the Company's CEO may be a discretionary bonus (unlike an annual bonus that is based on measurable targets).

2.8.2 Annual bonus that is based on measurable targets

The amount of the annual bonus that is based on measurable targets shall be calculated based on measurable criteria, that will be determined (if they are determined) for each and every office holder, as possible, at the time of determining the Company's budget for the forthcoming year, in accordance with the role of the relevant office holder, by the competent organs of the Company (in accordance with the provisions of the law and the positions of the Securities Authority, as amended from time to time). It is hereby clarified the in regard to office holders, who report to the CEO, such measurable targets may be determined only by the Company's CEO.

  • 2.8.2.1 Subject to the provisions of the law and the positions of the Securities Authority (as amended from time to time):
