2016 Annual General Meeting

Proxy Statement

November 2, 2016

Dear Kitov Shareholder,

It has been more than three years since the listing of Kitov on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, and almost a year since our initial public offering on the NASDAQ. Once again, I would like to reach out to you and update you on the status of the Company at this time and as to Kitov's plans for the future.

2016 marked many important achievements in advancing our lead drug candidate, KIT-302, towards commercialization through an NDA submission. The Company has innovative and groundbreaking products and exceptional human capital as it continues its direction of bringing new innovative drugs to market.

The Company's principal activities during the past year included:

  • Successful completion of all required KIT-302 pharmacokinetic (PK) bioequivalence (BE) studies
  • Successful completion of initial chemical stability testing of pivotal batches of KIT-302
  • Receipt of Notice of Allowance and subsequent issuance of a patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for claims covering important treatment methodologies, which form the basis of KIT-302
  • Follow-on public offering for an equity raise on the NASDAQ of \$12 million of gross proceeds

Goals to be achieved in the coming year:

  • Issuance of KIT-302's clinical trial full study report
  • Completion of six-month stability testing of KIT-302
  • Submission of New Drug Application to the FDA for KIT-302
  • Performance of a renal (kidney) function clinical trial to demonstrate the beneficial effects of KIT-302 on kidney function
  • Establishment of business development channels for Company products

In the area of the Company's financial position, we are very proud of the fact that the Company completed another successful public offering for its American Depositary Shares (ADSs) listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market (the "NASDAQ") in the United States. I believe that the NASDAQ listing and the success of our public offerings in the United States continue to lead to increased global interest in the Company.

With our recent achievements in successfully completing our BE studies, and the receipt of a US patent covering KIT-302, we believe that we are now well on our way to generate significant value for our shareholders.

I invite you to join us in person at the 2016 Annual Meeting. However, whether or not you plan to attend in person, it is important that your shares be represented. Accordingly, please submit your vote with respect to the proposals listed on the agenda in one of the manners indicated on the Proxy Statement at your earliest convenience. I encourage your participation and engagement, and I, together with the rest of Kitov's management, am always open to hear your concerns and feedback.

I am proud of all that we have accomplished over the past year. The Board and management team have continued to take significant steps to improve the Company's operations, performance, financial position and governance. I am excited about the future as we proceed with the submission of our new drug application to the FDA, and continue to pursue additional opportunities for additional products. As we look ahead, Kitov intends to continue on our path of growth and value creation in the year to come. Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

John Paul Waymack M.D., Sc.D. Chairman of the Board of Directors

Proxy Statement

Notice is hereby given that the 2016 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting" or the "Annual Meeting") of Kitov Pharmaceuticals Holdings Limited ("Kitov" or the "Company") will be held at our executive offices at One Azrieli Center, Round Tower, 23rd Floor, 132 Menachem Begin Road, Tel Aviv, Israel (the "Company Offices") on Monday, December 5, 2016, at 4:30 p.m. local time.

Record Date; Shareholders Entitled to Vote; Admission

Only shareholders of record at the close of business in New York on Wednesday, November 2, 2016 (hereinafter: the "Record Date") will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, and any adjournments or postponements thereof. At such time, each issued and outstanding ordinary share, with no par value, shall entitle its holder to one vote on each matter properly submitted at the Meeting. Each American Depositary Share ("ADS") representing twenty (20) such ordinary shares shall entitle the holder of the ADS to twenty (20) votes on each matter properly submitted at the Annual Meeting. As of November 1, 2016, we had 153,237,188 ordinary shares outstanding eligible to vote at shareholders meetings. The 153,237,188 issued and outstanding ordinary shares would be represented by 7,661,859 of our ADSs.

A shareholder, whose shares are registered with a Tel Aviv Stock Exchange ("TASE") member and are not registered on the Company's shareholder's register, is entitled to receive from the TASE member who holds the shares on the shareholder's behalf, by e-mail, for no charge, a link to the text of the Proxy Statement and Voting Slip, and to any Position Statements posted on the Israel Securities Authority ("ISA") website, unless the shareholder gave notice that he or she is not so interested; provided, that the notice was given with respect to a particular securities account, prior to the Record Date. A shareholder, whose shares are registered with a member of the TASE, is required to prove his or her share ownership to vote at the Meeting in accordance with the Companies' Regulations (Proof of Ownership of A Share for the Purpose of Voting at the General Meeting), 5760-2000. Such shareholder shall provide us with an ownership certificate (as of the Record Date) from that TASE member and is entitled to receive the ownership certificate in the branch of the TASE member or by mail to his address (in consideration of mailing fees only), if the shareholder so requested. Such a request will be made in advance for a particular securities account. Alternatively, shareholders who hold shares through members of the TASE may vote electronically via the electronic voting system of ISA up to six (6) hours before the time fixed for the Meeting. You should receive instructions about electronic voting from the TASE member through which you hold your shares.

Attendance in person at the Annual Meeting will be limited to shareholders, their legal proxy holders or their authorized persons only. To gain admission to the Annual Meeting, one must have a form of government-issued photograph identification and proof of share ownership as of the Record Date, issued by a broker or bank. Legal proxy holders and authorized persons will also need to submit, in addition to proof of share ownership as of the Record Date, a document of appointment, in accordance with our Amended and Restated Articles of Association.

Voting Instruments

Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, it is important that your shares be represented. In accordance with Section 182(b) of the Companies Law, 5759-1999 (hereinafter: the "Companies Law"), anyone holding ordinary shares of the Company at the end of the trading day on the Record Date shall be entitled to participate in the Meeting and to vote in person or by proxy, by appointing a proxy to vote (hereinafter: the "Proxy Letter") which shall be in writing and signed by the appointing party or their authorized attorney, and if the appointing party is a corporation the appointment shall be in writing signed by authorized corporate signatories together with the company stamp, or by authorized attorney. The Proxy Letter, or a copy satisfactory to the Company Secretary, must be deposited at the Company Offices or the place designated for the Meeting no later than 48 hours prior to the time scheduled for the Meeting at which the person noted in the Proxy Letter intends to vote. However, the Meeting chairman is entitled to waive this requirement with respect to all participants at the Meeting, and to accept all the Proxy Letters at the commencement of the Meeting, subject to the presentation of proof of share ownership. A Proxy Letter held by a participant at the meeting which is dated more than 12 months from the signature date shall be considered invalid.

This Proxy Statement also serves as a Notice to the Shareholders of a General Meeting at a Public Company pursuant to Regulation 4 of the Companies Regulations (Notice and Announcement of General Meeting and Class Meeting in Public Company and the Addition of a Matter to the Agenda), 5760-2000 (the "Notice Regulations"), as well as a Voting Slip pursuant to the Companies Regulations (Voting Slip and Position Statements), 5766-2005 (the "Voting Slip Regulations"). With respect to certain matters on the agenda of the Meeting, a shareholder holding our ordinary shares may also vote via the Voting Slip included at the end of this Proxy Statement. The sites where one can find the form of the Voting Slip and Position Statements (if any) as per their meanings under Sections 87 and 88 of the Companies Law and under the Voting Slip Regulations are as follows: on the distribution site of ISA, at www.magna.isa.gov.il (hereinafter: "Distribution Site"), and on the website of the TASE for listed company reports, at www.maya.tase.co.il (hereinafter: the "TASE Website"). A shareholder may contact us directly and receive the form of the Voting Slip and Position Statements (if any), or at such holder's consent, links to the text of the Voting Slip at the Distribution Site. A shareholder whose securities are registered with a TASE stock exchange member is entitled to receive certification of ownership from such member such that the holder can vote at the Meeting and send a timely Voting Slip as required. Voting by Voting Slip shall be by checking the applicable boxes on the Voting Slip included at the end of this Proxy Statement, as published on the Distribution Site. All Voting Slips (together with proofs of ordinary share ownership, and all documents required to be submitted therewith) must be delivered to the Company Offices set forth above, such that the Voting Slip arrives no later 4 hours prior to the designated time of the Meeting, namely by no later than Monday, December 5, 2016, 12:30 p.m. Israel Time.

A shareholder not registered in our share register, namely a shareholder pursuant to Section 177(1) of the Israeli Companies Law (namely – one to whose credit a share of the Company is recorded at a TASE member, and such share is included in the Company's share register under the name of our Registration Company) may also vote via Electronic Voting Slip which will be delivered to us via the Electronic Voting System being operated pursuant to Section B of Chapter G'2 of the Securities Law, 5728-1968 (the "Securities Law"). Voting via Electronic Voting Slips will be allowed until six (6) hours prior to the Meeting commencement, namely by no later than Monday, December 5, 2016, 10:30 a.m. Israel Time.

ADS holders should return their BNY Mellon form of Voting Instruction Form for holders of our ADSs by no later than the date and time set forth on such Voting Instruction Form, namely by no later than Tuesday, November 29, 2016, 12:00 p.m. EST.

Forms of each of the Voting Slip and the BNY Mellon Voting Instruction Form for holders of the Company's ADSs will also be furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC" or the "Commission") on Form 6-K, and will be made available to the public on the Commission's website at www.sec.gov. Each of these will also be filed with ISA and TASE and will be available on their respective websites for listed company reports at: www.magna.isa.gov.il and www.maya.tase.co.il.

Quorum, Required Vote and Voting Procedures

As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to comply with Israeli corporate governance practices instead of certain requirements of The NASDAQ Stock Market rules (the "NASDAQ Rules"), provided that we disclose those NASDAQ Rules with which we do not comply and the equivalent Israeli requirement that we follow instead (the "foreign private issuer exemption"). We currently rely on this foreign private issuer exemption with respect to the quorum requirement for meetings of our shareholders. As permitted under the Companies Law, and pursuant to our Amended and Restated Articles of Association, the quorum required for the Meeting consists of at least two shareholders who are present at the Meeting, in person, by Proxy Letter, by Voting Slip (paper or electronic) or otherwise represented at the Meeting by their authorized persons (hereinafter, "Valid Meeting Participants"), and who hold in the aggregate twenty-five percent or more of the paid-up share capital of the Company, (instead of 33 1/3% of the issued share capital provided under the NASDAQ Rules). Abstentions and "broker non-votes", as well as any abstentions by ADS holders with respect to our ordinary shares held by the Depositary, are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a legal quorum.

Should no legal quorum be present one half hour after the scheduled time, the Meeting will be adjourned to one week from that day, at the same time and place, i.e. on Monday, December 12, 2016 at 4:30 p.m. (Israel Time) at the Company Offices. Should such legal quorum not be present one half hour after the time set for the adjourned meeting, any two shareholders present as Valid Meeting Participants will then constitute a legal quorum.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company's ordinary shares, participating and voting at the Meeting as Valid Meeting Participants, is required to adopt each of the proposals to be presented at the Meeting.

Under the terms of the Depositary Agreement among the Company, BNY Mellon (which acts as the Depositary) and the holders of our ADSs, upon the written request of an owner of ADSs, as of the date of the request or, if a record date was specified by the Depositary, as of that record date, received by the Depositary on or before any instruction cutoff date established by the Depositary in its notices to ADS holders, the Depositary shall, endeavor, in so far as practicable, to vote or cause to be voted the number of deposited ordinary shares represented by those ADSs in accordance with the instructions set forth in that request. We have instructed the Depositary to disseminate a notice of the Meeting, and have given the Depositary notice of the Meeting, details concerning the matters to be voted upon and copies of materials to be made available to holders of ordinary shares in connection with the Meeting not less than 30 days prior to the Meeting date. The Depositary shall not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote that attaches to the deposited ordinary shares other than (a) in accordance with instructions given by owners and received by the Depositary; or, (b) as provided in the following sentences. If no instructions are received by the Depositary from an owner of ADSs with respect to a matter and a number of ADSs of that owner on or before the instruction cutoff date set forth on the BNY Mellon Voting Instruction Form, the Depositary shall deem that owner to have instructed the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by us with respect to that matter and the number of ordinary shares of the Company represented by that number of ADSs, and the Depositary shall give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by us to vote that number of ordinary shares of the Company as to that matter, except that no instruction of that kind shall be deemed given and no discretionary proxy shall be given with respect to any matter as to which we inform the Depositary (and we agree to provide such information as promptly as practicable in writing, if applicable) that (x) we do not wish a proxy given, (y) substantial shareholder opposition exists, or (z) the matter materially and adversely affects the rights of holders of shares.

All ordinary shares represented by properly executed Proxy Letters, Voting Slips, or Electronic Voting Slip instructions, which are received prior to the applicable deadline with respect to such voting instrument, and not revoked prior to, or at, the Meeting in accordance with the procedures described in the Proxy Statement or under applicable law, will be voted as specified in the instructions indicated in such voting instruments. Subject to applicable law and the NASDAQ Rules, in the absence of such instructions, the ordinary shares represented by properly executed and received voting instruments will be voted "FOR" all of the proposed resolutions to be presented at the Meeting.

We are currently unaware of any other matters that may be raised at the Meeting. Should any other matters be properly raised at the Meeting, the persons designated as proxies and present at the Meeting shall vote according to their own judgment on those matters.

Shareholder Proposals

Under Israeli law, one or more shareholders holding, in the aggregate, 1% or more of the voting rights of the Company (hereinafter, "Proposing Shareholder(s)") may request to include a proposal on the agenda of a shareholders meeting (including proposing the nomination of a candidate to our Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors") for consideration by the Board of Directors) by submitting such proposal within seven days of publication of our notice with respect to a general meeting of our shareholders (a "Meeting Agenda Addition"). Accordingly, any Proposing Shareholder(s) may request to include a Meeting Agenda Addition proposal on the agenda of this Meeting by submitting such proposal in writing to us no later than Thursday, November 3, 2016, 11:30 p.m. Israel time, at the Company Offices, Attn: Avraham Ben-Tzvi, Adv., General Counsel & Company Secretary.

Under Article 62 of our Amended and Restated Articles of Association, a shareholder (including two or more shareholders that are acting in concert, also referred to as "Proposing Shareholder(s)") holding, in the aggregate, at least one percent of the voting rights in the Company may request, subject to the Companies Law, that our Board of Directors include a proposal on the agenda of a general meeting to be held in the future, provided that the Company Secretary has been given timely notice by the Proposing Shareholder(s) of such request in writing (a "Proposal Request"), and the Proposal Request complies with all the requirements set forth in our Amended and Restated Articles of Association, and any applicable law and stock exchange rules, in Israel or abroad. To be considered timely, a Proposal Request, in respect of any general meeting, must be delivered, either in person or by certified mail, postage prepaid, and received at the Company Offices no later than fourteen (14) days after the date of first publication by us of our annual consolidated financial statements, preceding the annual general meeting at which the shareholders are to receive the consolidated financial statements for such year. The Company has not received any such Proposal Request during 2016.

If a Meeting Agenda Addition or Proposal Request is to nominate a candidate for election to our Board of Directors, the Proposing Shareholder(s) must provide (a) a declaration signed by the nominee and any other information required under the Companies Law, (b) all of the information set forth under Regulation 26(a) of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 5730-1970 (the "Israeli Reporting Regulations"), (c) additional information in respect of the nominee as would be required in response to the applicable disclosure requirements in Israel or abroad, including those of Item 6A (directors and senior management), Item 6E (share ownership) and Item 7B (related party transactions) of Form 20-F of the Commission, to the extent applicable, (d) a representation made by the nominee of whether the nominee meets the objective criteria for an independent director and/or statutory unaffiliated director of a company such as the Company under the Companies Law and/or under any applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rules, in Israel or abroad, and if not, then an explanation of why not, and (e) details of all relationships and understandings between the Proposing Shareholder(s) and the nominee.

Position Statements

Under Israeli law, shareholders wishing to express their position on an agenda item for this Meeting may do so by submitting a written Position Statement ("Position Statement") to the Company Offices, Attn: Avraham Ben-Tzvi, Adv., General Counsel & Company Secretary. Any Position Statements so submitted must comply with the requirements set forth under the Companies Law and any applicable regulations, including the Voting Slip Regulations. We will furnish to the Commission on Form 6-K any legally compliant Position Statements received by us, and they will be made available to the public on the Commission's website at www.sec.gov, and in addition on the Distribution Site and on the TASE Website. Position Statements should be submitted to us by no later than Friday, November 25, 2016 at 4:30 p.m. Israel time.

Updates to Meeting Agenda

In accordance with, and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law and the Regulations, we may, after the date of publication of this Proxy Statement, make changes to the agenda topics (including adding a topic), and Position Statements regarding matters on the agenda of the Meeting may be published. As such changes are made and/or Position Statements are published, it will be possible to review them in our reports on the Commission's website at www.sec.gov, as well on the Distribution Site and on the TASE Website. We will publicize a revised Proxy Statement as needed in order to reflect any changes in matters on the agenda of the Meeting, by no later than the dates specified in Section 5b in the Notice Regulations. We will furnish to the Commission on Form 6-K any such revised Proxy Statement, and it will be published on the Commission's website at www.sec.gov, as well as on the Distribution Site and on the TASE Website.

Compensation of Office Holders

For so long as we qualify as a foreign private issuer, we are not required to comply with the proxy rules applicable to U.S. domestic companies, including the requirement applicable to emerging growth companies to disclose the compensation of our chief executive officer and the other two most highly compensated executive officers on an individual, rather than an aggregate, basis. Nevertheless, an amendment to the Notice Regulations enacted in 2014, with respect to the disclosure requirements for the proxy statements of annual general meetings of shareholders at such Israeli public companies which do not file reports with ISA and TASE pursuant to the Israeli Reporting Regulations, requires us to disclose in our proxy statement which is published with respect to our annual general meeting of shareholders, the Terms of Office and Employment (as defined in the Companies Law) actually received by our five most highly compensated Office Holders (as defined in the Companies Law), or to include a reference therein to other previously furnished public disclosure. The disclosure is to be made with respect to the year of the financial statements being presented at such annual general meeting, and as recorded in the Company's financial statements for such year. This disclosure must be on an individual basis, broken out by components, rather than only on an aggregate basis for all Office Holders, as was previously permitted for Israeli public companies listed overseas prior to the enactment of such amendment. This disclosure may not be as extensive as that required of a U.S. domestic issuer.

As such, and pursuant to the proxy statement disclosure requirements set forth under Regulation 4(d)(2) of the Notice Regulations, for the detailed information regarding the Terms of Office and Employment received by our Office Holders with respect to the year ended December 31, 2015, please see the section entitled "Compensation" on pages 58 through 61 of our prospectus dated June 30, 2016 filed with the SEC, and accessible under file number 333-211477 through the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. In such section we disclosed the Terms of Office and Employment, broken out by component, received by each of our three executive directors with respect to the year ended December 31, 2015, as well as the Terms of Office and Employment for our independent directors who were in office for such year, and who each received annual and per meeting fees paid in New Israeli Shekels, amounting in the aggregate to approximately \$13,750 received by each independent director for such year.

Solicitation of Proxies

We currently rely on a foreign private issuer exemption with respect to the proxy solicitation requirement for meetings of our shareholders. As permitted under the Companies Law, and the Notice Regulations which were enacted pursuant to such law, and as set forth in our Amended and Restated Articles of Association, we are not required to physically deliver a notice of a shareholders meeting, a proxy statement or a voting slip. We prepare notices of general meetings of our shareholders, as well as the accompanying proxy statements, voting slips and voting instruction forms, (collectively, the "Proxy Materials") in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations and disclosure requirements in the State of Israel, as such are applicable to a company whose shares are traded on both the TASE and the NASDAQ, and which reports to the SEC as a foreign private issuer and to ISA and the TASE in accordance with the provisions of Chapter E'3 of the Securities Law and the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports of a Foreign Body Corporate) 5761-2000, promulgated thereunder (the "Dual-Listed Reporting Requirements"). Our Proxy Materials may not necessarily be mailed to our beneficial shareholders in Israel, nor to our beneficial ADS holders in the U.S. We will furnish to the SEC on Form 6-K the forms of our Proxy Materials, and they will be made available to the public on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. We will also submit the Proxy Materials to ISA and TASE and they will be made available to the public on their respective websites for listed company reports: www.magna.isa.gov.il and www.maya.tase.co.il. We will also include the Proxy Materials on our corporate website at http://kitovpharma.investorroom.com/Shareholder-Meetings, to the extent required under the Companies Law and Notice Regulations governing publication of notices of general meetings of our shareholders and the distribution of the Proxy Materials.

We will bear the entire cost of solicitation of proxies, including preparation, assembly, printing, and mailing of the BNY Mellon Voting Instruction Form and any additional information furnished to beneficial ordinary shareholders or beneficial holders of ADSs. The Notice of Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders, the Proxy Statement, and the Voting Slip will not be mailed to beneficial ordinary shareholders in Israel. We may reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of ordinary shares or ADSs for reasonable expenses incurred by them in forwarding proxy soliciting materials to such beneficial owners. In addition to solicitation by mail, certain of our directors, officers and regular employees, without additional remuneration, may solicit proxies by telephone, facsimile, email or personal contact. None of the contents of our website, or the information that can be accessed through our website, form part of the proxy solicitation materials.

Reporting Requirements

The Company is subject to the information reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), applicable to foreign private issuers. The Company fulfills these requirements by filing reports with the 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 www.sec.gov.

In addition, since our ordinary shares are traded on the TASE, in the past we filed Hebrew language periodic and immediate reports with, and furnished information to, the TASE and ISA, as required under Chapter F of the Securities Law. In accordance with Section 35XXXIII of the Securities Law, and pursuant to the prior approvals of our securities holders to change to reporting in accordance with the U.S. securities laws and regulations, and in accordance with the exemption from reporting under Chapter F of the Securities Law which was received by us from ISA pursuant to Section 35XXXII(1A) of the Securities Law, as of December 31, 2015 we commenced reporting to ISA and the TASE in accordance with the Dual-Listed Reporting Requirements. Pursuant to the Dual-Listed Reporting Requirements, we prepare our periodic and immediate reports in accordance with U.S. securities laws and reporting requirements. Our major shareholders are required to make applicable ownership disclosures in accordance with U.S. securities laws and reporting requirements. We generally initially file or furnish our reports, as applicable, to the SEC. We then submit copies of the SEC filings and submissions to ISA and TASE, including any filings made by our major shareholders with respect to their holdings in the Company, in accordance with the Dual-Listed Reporting Requirements. Such copies can be retrieved electronically through the Distribution Site (www.magna.isa.gov.il) and the TASE Website (www.maya.tase.co.il).

As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing certain disclosure and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as United States companies, or companies which are otherwise treated as domestic issuers, whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. However, we intend to file with the SEC, within 120 days after the end of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and each subsequent fiscal year, an annual report on Form 20-F containing financial statements which will be examined and reported on, with an opinion expressed, by an independent registered public accounting firm. Furthermore, we have committed to the underwriters of our initial U.S public offering which was completed in November 2015, that for a period of three (3) years from November 25, 2015, we, at our expense, will announce our financial information for each of the first three fiscal quarters consistent with the practices of companies which are dual-listed on both the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and a domestic U.S. securities exchange and report in accordance with the Dual-Listed Reporting Requirements; provided that the foregoing shall not apply in the event we enter into a merger transaction in which we are the non-surviving entity that would cause our ADSs and warrants to no longer be registered under the Exchange Act. We will furnish this periodic information to the SEC under cover of Form 6-K. The representative of the underwriters of our initial U.S public offering previously waived any announcement by us with respect to the filing of financial information for the first quarter of 2016, and may issue such waivers to us in the future. It is noted that ISA has recently proposed draft legislation which would dispense with the requirement for the announcement of financial results for each of the first and third fiscal quarters of a calendar year. We would qualify for such dispensation based on our company size as set forth in the proposed draft legislation. In addition the SEC has recently announced that it is seeking comment for the dispensation of the requirement for the announcement of financial results for each of the first and third fiscal quarters for certain U.S. domestic issuers. Thus it remains uncertain as to how companies, such as ours, which are dual-listed on both the TASE and a domestic U.S. securities exchange, and report in accordance with the Dual-Listed Reporting Requirements, will continue their practices with respect to the announcements of financial information for each of the first and third fiscal quarters, and it is possible that we may adopt practices for the announcement (if any) of financial information for each of the first and third fiscal quarters which are different than what we have provided in the past.

We maintain a corporate website at www.kitovpharma.com. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website does not constitute a part of this Proxy Statement. We have included our website address in this Proxy Statement solely as an inactive textual reference. We will post on our website any materials required to be posted on such website under applicable corporate or securities laws and regulations.

This Proxy Statement and accompanying Voting Slip, as well as the previously issued Notice of Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, have been prepared in accordance with applicable disclosure requirements in the State of Israel, as such are applicable to a Company which is a foreign private issuer and whose securities are traded on both the TASE and the NASDAQ, and which reports in Israel in accordance with the Dual-Listed Reporting Requirements. The circulation of this Proxy Statement, the accompanying Voting Slip, and/or our Notice of Annual General Meeting of Shareholders should not be taken as an admission that we are subject to the proxy rules under the Exchange Act.

PROPOSAL 2:

REVIEW OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S COMPENSATION

Under the Companies Law and our Amended and Restated Articles of Association, our shareholders are authorized to appoint the Company's independent auditor. Under the Companies Law and our Amended and Restated Articles of Association, our shareholders may appoint our independent auditor to hold office for a longer period of time that will not extend beyond the end of the third annual meeting following that at which the auditor was appointed. At our 2014 Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders, our shareholders appointed Somekh Chaikin, Certified Public Accountants (Israel), a member of KPMG International, as the independent public auditor of the Company for such longer period of time not to extend beyond the 2017 Annual General Meeting, at which time the appointment of our independent auditor will once again be presented to our shareholders for approval.

Under the Companies Law and our Amended and Restated Articles of Association, our Board of Directors is authorized to determine our independent auditor's remuneration. In addition, the Listing Rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market require that our Audit Committee approve the re-appointment and remuneration of our independent auditor. In our Amended and Restated Articles of Association, a provision has been included such that for so long as the securities of the Company are listed for trading on an exchange in the United States of America, such authority of the Board of Directors to set the remuneration of our independent auditor for audit activity and/or for additional services to us not being audit-related, will be deemed to have been delegated by our Board of Directors to the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

Under the Companies Law, our Board of Directors is required to report to our Annual General Meeting the compensation paid to our independent auditor. The following table sets forth the approximate total compensation that was paid by the Company and its subsidiary to our independent auditors Somekh Chaikin, Certified Public Accountants (Israel), a member of KPMG International, for 2015:

(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
2015
Audit fees(1) 42
Audit-related fees(2) 83
Tax (3) 8
Total 133
  • (1) "Audit fees" include fees for services performed in connection with the Company's annual audit, certain procedures regarding the Company's quarterly financial results, consultation concerning financial accounting and reporting standards.
  • (2) "Audit-related fees" relate to assurance and associated services that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor, including fees related to our public offerings.
  • (3) These fees relate to services provided regarding tax compliance and review of tax returns.

100% of the audit related services, tax and other fees described in the table above were approved by the audit committee in accordance with paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

This agenda item will not involve a vote by the shareholders.

PROPOSAL 3:

TO APPROVE THE LETTERS OF EXEMPTION AND INDEMNITY GRANTED BY THE COMPANY TO EACH OF CERTAIN DIRECTORS AT THE COMPANY

Each of Mr. Steven Steinberg, Mr. Ido Agmon and Ms. Leah Bruck (the "Appointed Directors") were appointed as a director at the Company by our Board of Directors, in accordance with the provisions of Article 86 of our Amended and Restated Articles of Association governing the appointment by our Board of Directors of additional directors to vacancies on the Board of Directors.

In accordance with our Compensation Policy approved by our shareholders, our independent directors may compensated by means of a fixed periodic payment, and by means of fixed payment for participation in Board (or committee) meetings, up to the amounts set forth in the Companies Regulations (Rules Concerning Compensation and Expenses for an External Director), 5760-2000, as amended from time to time. In accordance with our Compensation Policy approved by our shareholders, we may grant our directors a letter of indemnification and waiver from liability in accordance with the Companies Law, our Amended and Restated Articles of Association and our policy from time to time, as well as provide them with coverage under our directors and officers insurance coverage in such amounts and coverage limits as set forth in the Compensation Policy.

In conjunction with each of the Appointed Director's appointment to the Board of Directors, it was determined by our Board, following the prior determination of the Audit Committee or the Compensation Committee, as applicable, that the amounts of cash compensation to be paid to each of the Appointed Directors will be the same as that which is paid to our other independent directors, and will not be in excess of the maximum amounts set forth under Regulations 4, 5 and 7 of the Companies Regulations (Rules Concerning Compensation and Expenses for an External Director), 5760-2000, and it was determined, as such, that the payment of such compensation is an engagement which does not require the approval of our shareholders pursuant to the leniencies set forth in Regulation 1A(2) under the Companies Regulations (Relief Regulations Regarding Transactions with Interested Parties, 5760-2000 (hereinafter: the "Relief Regulations").

It was also determined by our Board, following the prior determination of the Audit Committee or Compensation Committee, as applicable, to approve the inclusion of each of the Appointed Directors under the coverage of our directors and officers insurance policy. Our Board, following the prior determination of the Audit Committee or Compensation Committee, as applicable, determined that, pursuant to the leniencies set forth in Regulation 1B1 of the Relief Regulations, the provision of such insurance coverage to the Appointed Directors is an engagement which does not require the approval of our shareholders, as the coverage under our directors and officers insurance policy is being granted on market terms, and with no material adverse effect on our profits, assets or obligations, and is consistent with our Compensation Policy which was approved by our shareholders in accordance with the Companies Law, and is the same as the coverage provided to all of our other directors.

It was further determined by our Board, following the prior determination of the Audit Committee or Compensation Committee, as applicable, to approve the issuance to each of the Appointed Directors of our standard letters of waiver of liability and indemnification, subject to shareholder approval at no later than the next general meeting of our shareholders following such approval. Our Board, following the prior determination of the Audit Committee or Compensation Committee, as applicable, determined that the provision of such letters of waiver from liability and for indemnification to the Appointed Directors is an engagement which, pursuant to the leniencies set forth in Regulation 1B4 of the Relief Regulations, can be entered into by us immediately, as of the date of their respective appointments as directors, with the approval by our shareholders being deferred to the next general meeting of our shareholders following such approval, as the letters which we issued to the Appointed Directors are consistent with our Compensation Policy which was approved by our shareholders in accordance with the Companies Law, and are no more beneficial to the Appointed Directors as such letters previously issued to our other directors.

Pursuant to the Companies Law, any arrangement between the Company and a director relating to his or her compensation as a director or other position with the Company generally must be consistent with the our Compensation Policy and must be approved by the Audit Committee (acting in lieu of a Compensation Committee) or the Compensation Committee, our Board of Directors and our shareholders by a simple majority. If the compensation is inconsistent with our Compensation Policy, then, provided that those provisions that must be included in the Compensation Policy according to the Companies Law have been considered by the Audit Committee (or Compensation Committee) and Board of Directors, a special disinterested majority, as set forth in the Companies Law, will also be required for shareholder approval.

Our shareholders will be requested to adopt the following resolutions at the Meeting with respect to each of the Appointed Directors:

  • (a) "RESOLVED, to approve the Letter of Exemption granted by the Company to the director so named, which is in the form of such letter previously approved by the shareholders to be granted by the Company to directors serving from time to time in such capacity, a form of which is attached as Exhibit 10.5 to the Registration Statement on Form F-1 of the Company filed with the SEC on September 24, 2015."
  • (b) "RESOLVED, to approve the Letter of Indemnity granted by the Company to the director so named, which is in the form of such letter previously approved by the shareholders to be granted by the Company to directors serving from time to time in such capacity, a form of which is attached as Exhibit 10.6 to the Registration Statement on Form F-1 of the Company filed with the SEC on September 24, 2015."

As required pursuant to the leniencies set forth in Regulation 1B4 of the Relief Regulations, the matters approved under Proposal 3 comply with our current Compensation Policy. Thus, in order to adopt each of the resolutions under Proposal 3, in accordance with Sections 270(3) and 273(a) of the Companies Law, which govern the approval of the engagement of a public company with a director with respect to his or her terms of office and compensation, for the matter of his or her service as a director, as well as his or her engagement in other roles (if he or she is so engaged), each of the resolutions under Proposal 3 must receive the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company's ordinary shares participating and voting at the Meeting, in person or by proxy or through their representatives.

An unofficial English translation from the Hebrew original of our current Compensation Policy is included as Exhibit 4.9 to our Annual Report for 2015 on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 18, 2016.

Our Board of Directors, with the exception of Messrs. Agmon and Steinberg and Ms. Bruck who each express no recommendation as to the vote on their own matter set forth under Proposal 3, recommends a vote "FOR" the approval of each of the matters as set forth under Proposal 3 above.

Our Board of Directors has determined that each of Ms. Bruck, Dr. Zeitoun, Mr. Steinberg, Mr. Katzir and Mr. Agmon qualify as an independent director under the corporate governance standards of the NASDAQ Listing Rules and the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act.

Under our Amended and Restated Articles of Association, the number of directors on our Board will be no less than four and no more than nine (including any external directors, to the extent that we may be required to appoint external directors in accordance with the Companies Law and any Regulations enacted thereunder) ("Maximum Number"). The majority of the members of the Board shall be residents of Israel, unless our center of management shall have been transferred to another country in accordance with a resolution of our Board by a majority of three quarters (75%) of the participating director votes. The number of directors may be changed, at any time and from time to time, by our shareholders with a majority of (a) 75% of the voting rights participating and voting on the matter in the applicable general meeting of our shareholders and (b) more than 47.9% of all of the voting rights in the Company as of the record date established for the applicable general meeting of our shareholders ("Special Majority").

Our directors shall generally be nominated by our Board of Directors, and then appointed at our general meeting of shareholders with a regular majority. In accordance with our Amended and Restated Articles of Association, the directors elected to serve are divided into three classes, with each class comprising one-third of the members of our Board of Directors (the "Board") (who are not external directors, if any were appointed), (hereinafter the "first class"; the "second class"; and the "third class"). If the number of directors is not equally divisible by three, each of the first class and the second class will be comprised of a different number, the closest and lowest to one-third, while the third class will be comprised of the remaining directors (who are not external directors, if any were appointed). If the number of directors changes, the number of directors in each class will change in accordance with the aforesaid rule. In the annual general meeting of our shareholders that will take place each year, the shareholders shall be entitled to elect directors who shall be elected for a Three-Year Term to replace the class of directors whose term in office has expired as of such annual general meeting of our shareholders, and so on ad infinitum, so that the directors who shall be elected as stated above shall enter office at the end of the annual general meeting of our shareholders at which they were elected, unless a later date for commencement of the term was decided at the time of the appointment, and shall serve for Three-Year Terms (unless their appointment will be terminated in accordance with the provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles of Association), and so that each year, the terms in office of one of the classes of directors shall expire at the annual general meeting of our shareholders for such year. A "Three-Year Term" means a term of office of a director until the third annual general meeting of our shareholders which shall be held following the date of their election as director, provided that each director shall continue to serve in office until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his or her retirement, death, resignation or removal.

Our Board may appoint a director at any time to fill any vacancies until the annual meeting of our shareholders set to take place at the end of the Three-Year Term for the class of directors to which such director is so appointed by the Board, provided that the total number of the members of the Board serving at such time will not exceed the Maximum Number.

The shareholders may at all times, by a Special Majority vote of the shareholders, replace or dismiss a director (in the case of replacement, only if the appointed director is not a corporation). A director to be replaced shall be given a reasonable opportunity to address the shareholders at their meeting. The tenure of a director expires pursuant to the provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles of Association and the Companies Law, upon death or if s/he becomes incompetent, unless removed from office as described above.

In addition, under the Companies Law, our Board must determine the minimum number of directors who are required to have financial and accounting expertise. Under applicable regulations, a director with financial and accounting expertise is a director who, by reason of his or her education, professional experience and skill, has a high level of proficiency in and understanding of business accounting matters and financial statements. He or she must be able to thoroughly comprehend the financial statements of the company and initiate debate regarding the manner in which financial information is presented. In determining the number of directors required to have such expertise, the board of directors must consider, among other things, the type and size of the company and the scope and complexity of its operations. Our Board has determined that we require at least one director with the requisite financial and accounting expertise and that Mr. Rock (who also serves as our CFO), Ms. Bruck, Mr. Katzir, Mr. Steinberg, and Mr. Agmon are each deemed to have such expertise.

In accordance with Article 84 of our Amended and Restated Articles of Association, the first division into three classes was carried out on October 26, 2016, by our Board's decision, at the discretion of the Board. In accordance with such decision, Drs. Paul Waymack and Alain Zeitoun were appointed to the first class; Messrs. Steven Steinberg, Ido Agmon and Yair Katzir were appointed to the second class to serve until the 2017 Annual General Meeting; and Messrs. Isaac Israel and Simcha Rock and Ms. Leah Bruck, were appointed to the third class to serve until the 2018 Annual General Meeting.

Dr. Waymack's current term will end at the Meeting, and Dr. Zeitoun's current term will end on December 16, 2016, the completion of his original term as a director, in accordance with the transition rules for directors previously classified as external directors, as set forth under Regulation 5D of the Israeli Companies Regulations (Relief for Public Companies with Shares Listed for Trading on a Stock Market Outside of Israel), 5760-2000, which relief regulation was adopted by the Company on July 13, 2016.

We believe that our Board of Directors contains highly qualified and talented directors, including directors with global pharmaceutical and financial experience. At present five of our eight directors, the majority of our Board, are independent under NASDAQ listing rules. Our active Chairman of the Board, Dr. Paul Waymack, is the founder of Kitov Pharmaceuticals Ltd., our wholly owned subsidiary, and a critical key individual in the development of our flagship product – KIT-302. Our other nonindependent directors - the CEO and CFO of the Company - facilitate collaboration between the Board and management. We continue to evaluate the size and composition of the Board of Directors to ensure that it maintains dynamic, exceptionally qualified members.

PROPOSAL 5:

TO APPROVE PROPOSALS FOR CERTAIN AMENDMENTS TO THE COMPANY'S AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION AND TO THE MEMORANDUM OF ASSOCIATION

Our existing Amended and Restated Articles of Association (the "Current Articles of Association") were adopted by our shareholders in March 2016. We are proposing certain amendments to our Current Articles of Association, and with respect to certain matters, also to our Memorandum of Association, all as follows:

A) Increase in the Company's Registered Ordinary Share Capital

We are proposing the increase of the Company's registered Ordinary Share capital to 5,000,000,000 Ordinary Shares, no par value per Ordinary Share. This increase in registered Ordinary Share capital would allow us to meet our future business needs as they may arise from time to time. These purposes could include, among other things, possible future conversion of convertible financial instruments into Ordinary Shares, possible shares issuances to fund, or to be issued as consideration in, future mergers or acquisitions, raise additional capital, the purchase of property or assets, the use of shares for various equity compensation and other employee benefit plans and arrangements and other bona fide corporate purposes.

This increase is not being proposed in connection with any particular stock offering or any other specific matter. At this time, we have no plans to issue any of the newly authorized additional Ordinary Shares in order to raise funds or for any other corporate purposes. We note that in connection with our follow-on public offering which we completed on July 5, 2016, we entered into an agreement with our placement agent for the offering, H.C. Wainwright& Co., LLC (the "placement agent"), that during a period ending 180 days following July 5, 2016, we will not sell or transfer any ADSs or ordinary shares or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, ADSs or ordinary shares, in a transaction in which the primary purpose is raising capital or a transaction which results in the issuing of securities to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities, without first obtaining the written consent of the placement agent.

Accordingly, we propose to revise Article 11 in our Current Articles of Association, as set forth set forth on Appendix A1; and, to revise Section 4 to our Memorandum of Association as set forth on Appendix A2; (language on Appendices A1 and A2 in bold and underlined is proposed to be added to the respective provisions and language on Appendices A1 and A2 in bold strikethrough is proposed to be deleted from the respective provisions).

Our shareholders will be requested to adopt the following resolution at the Meeting:

"RESOLVED to approve the increase of the Company's registered Ordinary Share capital to 5,000,000,000 Ordinary Shares of no par value each, and the proposed amendments to Article 11 in our Amended and Restated Articles of Association, as well as to Section 4 of our Memorandum of Association, to be revised with the changes shown marked in Appendix A to the Proxy Statement."

B) Addition of Preferred Shares to the Company's Registered Share Capital

We are proposing an amendment to our Current Articles of Association, as well as to our Memorandum of Association for the addition to the Company's registered share capital of 1,000,000,000 preferred shares, with no par value (the "Preferred Shares"), as more fully described below.

If this Proposal 5.B. is approved by our shareholders at the Meeting, our Board of Directors will be authorized to fix, by resolution of the Board of Directors, (i) the number of issued Preferred Shares (subject to the maximum number of Preferred Shares authorized in such class), (ii) the designation of such class of Preferred Shares, and (iii) the conversion, redemption, optional and other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions, if any, of the shares of such class of Preferred Shares. Consequently, the issuance of Preferred Shares would be available for issuance without further actions by our shareholders, unless shareholder approval is otherwise required for any particular reason by virtue of Israeli law, the rules of any exchange or other market on which our securities may then be listed or traded, our Articles of Association then in effect, or any other applicable rules and regulations.

Our Board of Directors believes that the addition of Preferred Shares to our registered share capital is in the Company's and its shareholders' best interests because Preferred Shares would permit our Board of Directors to address future financing and transactional needs by authorizing our Board of Directors to expeditiously create any class or series of Preferred Shares customized to meet the needs of any particular transaction and prevailing market conditions. Our Board of Directors will be permitted to issue Preferred Shares for any proper corporate purpose. If any Preferred Shares are to be issued in connection with a potential transaction that independently requires our shareholders' approval, such approval will be sought at the appropriate time.

This amendment is not being proposed in connection with any particular stock offering or any other specific matter. At this time, we have no plans to issue any of the newly authorized Preferred Shares in order to raise funds or for any other corporate purposes.

Accordingly, we propose to revise Articles 11, 13, 16, 17, 122, and 137(b) in our Current Articles of Association and to add new Articles 13A and 15A, as set forth set forth on Appendix A1; and, to add a new Section 4(b) to our Memorandum of Association as set forth on Appendix A2; (language on Appendices A1 and A2 in bold and underlined is proposed to be added to the respective provisions and language on Appendices A1 and A2 in bold strikethrough is proposed to be deleted from the respective provisions).

Our shareholders will be requested to adopt the following resolution at the Meeting:

"RESOLVED to approve the addition to the Company's registered share capital of 1,000,000,000 Preferred Shares of no par value each and the corresponding increase in the Company's registered share capital, and the proposed amendments to Articles 11, 13, 16, 17, 122, and 137(b) in our Amended and Restated Articles of Association and to add new Articles 13A and 15A, as well as the addition of a new Section 4(b) to our Memorandum of Association, to be revised with the changes shown marked in Appendix A to the Proxy Statement."

C) Internal Auditor Supervision

Until his resignation on June 8, 2016 (for reasons not connected to the Company) our internal auditor was Mr. Pinhas Bar-Shmuel, certified public accountant (Isr.). On July 13, 2016, our Board of Directors, following the recommendation of our Audit Committee, resolved to appoint as our new internal auditor, Mr. Yisrael Gewirtz, a partner at Fahn Kanne Control Management Ltd., a member firm of Grant Thornton International.

Under the Companies Law, the organizational supervisor of the internal auditor of a public company is either the chairman of the board or the general manager, as set forth in the articles of association of the company, and if the articles of association are silent then as determined by the board of directors of the company. In addition, under the Companies Law, the internal auditor will submit for approval of the audit committee of the board of directors, or of the board of directors, as set forth in the articles of association of the company, a proposal for an annual or periodic working program and the audit committee of the board of directors or the board of directors, as applicable, will approve the same with such changes as it considers appropriate.

According to our Current Articles of Association, the organizational supervisor for our internal auditor is the Chairman of the Board, and the annual or periodic work plan is presented to our Board of Directors. Following the recommendations of Mr. Yisrael Gewirtz, our Internal Auditor, our Audit Committee and our Board of Directors, we are proposing to amend our Current Articles of Association so that the organizational supervisor for our internal auditor will be our general manager, and the annual or periodic work plan shall be presented to our Audit Committee of the Board of Directors for its review and approval.

Accordingly, we propose to revise Article 113 in our Current Articles of Association, as set forth set forth on Appendix A1; (language on Appendix A1 in bold and underlined is proposed to be added to the respective provisions and language on Appendix A1 in bold strikethrough is proposed to be deleted from the respective provisions).

Our shareholders will be requested to adopt the following resolution at the Meeting:

"RESOLVED to approve the proposed amendments to Article 113 in our Amended and Restated Articles of Association, to be revised with the changes shown marked in Appendix A1 to the Proxy Statement."

D) Miscellaneous Revisions

We are proposing certain additional amendments to the Current Articles of Association as follows:

  • The addition of Article 15A which clarifies that our Board may issue shares which shall be dormant upon issue. While we are of the view that this is permissible under the Companies Law without an explicit provision in the articles of association of a company, it is nonetheless proposed to add this matter to our Current Articles of Association.
  • The addition of Article 144A and certain other changes in Articles 139 through 141 which clarify that the Current Articles of Association's provisions concerning insurance coverage for directors and officers, waiver of liability and indemnification are prospective in nature and will incorporate any future revisions to applicable law governing such matters.

Accordingly, we propose to revise Articles 139 through 141 in our Current Articles of Association, and to add new Articles 15A and 144A, as set forth set forth on Appendix A1; (language on Appendix A1 in bold and underlined is proposed to be added to the respective provisions and language on Appendix A1 in bold strikethrough is proposed to be deleted from the respective provisions).

Our shareholders will be requested to adopt the following resolution at the Meeting:

"RESOLVED to approve the proposed amendments to Articles 139 through 141 in our Amended and Restated Articles of Association, and to add new Articles 15A and 144A, with the Amended and Restated Articles of Association to be revised with the changes shown marked in Appendix A1 to the Proxy Statement."

In accordance with Sections 24 and 85 of the Companies Law, Article 80 of our Current Articles of Association, and Section 4 of our Memorandum of Association, the approval of each of Proposals 5.A. and 5.B. must receive the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our ordinary shares participating and voting at the Meeting as Valid Meeting Participants.

In accordance with Section 85 of the Companies Law and Article 80 of our Current Articles of Association, the approval of Proposals 5.C. and 5.D. must receive the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority our ordinary shares participating and voting at the Meeting as Valid Meeting Participants.

Our Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" the adoption of the proposed amendments to our Current Articles of Association and our Memorandum of Association.

If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, the Directors shall be entitled according to a resolution passed in this connection, at any time thereafter prior to payment of the call or the installment, the interest and the expenses due in connection with the shares, forfeit the shares in respect of which such notice was given such forfeiture to extend to all the dividends declared in relation to the forfeited shares and not actually paid prior to the forfeiture.
    1. A share so forfeited shall be deemed to be the property of the Company and the Board of Directors will be entitled to sell, re-allot or otherwise transfer the share as they deem fit, subject to the provisions of the Companies Law and these Articles.
    1. Any Sshares that have been forfeited and prior to the sale or re-allotment thereof, will be dormant, and shall not confer any rights whatsoever as long as they are in the ownership of the Company.
    1. The Directors may, at any time, prior to the sale, re-allotment or transfer of any share so forfeited, revoke the forfeiture on such terms as the Board deem fit.

A person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Shareholder in respect of the forfeited shares but shall notwithstanding, remain liable to pay forthwith to the Company all calls, installments, interest and expenses due on account of or for such shares at the time of forfeiture, together with the interest on such sums from the date of forfeiture until the date of payment, at the maximum permitted rate at such time according to law, unless the shares that have been forfeited have been sold and the Company has received the full amount of the consideration undertaken to be paid by the shareholder, with the addition of the expenses incidental to the sale;

    1. Where the proceeds received on account of a sale of the shares forfeited exceed the consideration undertaken to be paid by the Shareholder for the shares so forfeited, the Shareholder shall be entitled to a partial refund of the consideration that he/she has given for them, if any, subject to the provisions of the agreement issuing the shares, provided the consideration remaining in the hands of the Company will not be less than the full amount of the consideration undertaken by the holder of the shares that have been forfeited, with the addition of the expenses incidental to the sale. The provisions of these Articles regarding forfeiture of shares shall likewise apply to cases of non-payment of an amount known which, according to the terms of the issue of the share, falls due on a fixed date as if such sum were payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified in regard thereto.
    1. The Company shall have a first and paramount lien upon all the shares registered in the name of each Shareholder, apart from fully paid-up shares, as well as over the proceeds of sale thereof for the discharge of the debts and liabilities of such Shareholder to the Company solely or jointly with any other persons whether the period for the payment or discharge thereof shall have actually arrived or not and howsoever arising, and save as provided by Article 12 herein no right in equity shall be created with respect to any such share. Such lien and charge shall extend to all dividends from time to time declared in respect of such shares. Unless otherwise resolved, the registration of a transfer of any shares by the Company shall operate as a waiver of the Company's lien or charge (if any) upon the shares.
    1. For enforcing the above charge, the Company may sell the shares subject to any such lien at such time or times and in such manner as they shall think fit, but no sale of any share shall be made until the period specified in Article 32 above shall have passed and notice in writing given to the Shareholder (or to whomsoever is entitled to receive notice following the death or bankruptcy or winding-up or receivership of the Shareholder) stating that the Company intends to sell the shares and the Shareholder or the person so entitled to the share has failed to pay the debts specified above or comply with or fail to perform the above engagements for 14 (fourteen) days after such notice.
    1. The proceeds of such sale after payment of the costs of such sale shall be applied in or towards satisfaction of the debts or liabilities of such Shareholder (including debts, liabilities and engagements not yet due for payment or performance) and the provisions of Article 37 will mutatis mutandis, apply.
  • Upon a sale after forfeiture or after enforcing a lien by or in the exercise of the powers hereinbefore given, the Directors may appoint a person to sign the instrument of transfer of the shares so sold and cause the purchaser's name to be registered in the Register in respect of the shares sold and after his name has been registered in the Register in respect of such shares the validity of the sale shall not be impeached and the remedy of any person aggrieved by the sale shall be by way of a suit for damages only against the Company exclusively.

The interest of any one of joint holders of a Registered Share may be transferred by any of them.
    1. Any person becoming entitled to a share following the death of a Shareholder, may, be entitled, upon production of evidence as to the probate of a will or the appointment of a personal representative or succession order, and testifying to his right to appear in such capacity may be registered as Shareholder in respect of such shares, or may, taking into account the provisions set forth in these Articles, transfer such shares.

    1. The Company at a general meeting may, by resolution adopted by simple majority:
    2. (a) Consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital provided that this will not operate to modify the Shareholders' holdings in the issued share capital. In case the Company decides to consolidate and divide its share capital as aforesaid, it will determine the par value of the consolidate shares or determine that the consolidate shares will have no par value.

In order to effectuate the above resolution, the Board of Directors may, at its discretion, settle any difficulty arising in connection therewith, and inter alia, issue certificates of fractional shares or certificates in the name of a number of Shareholders that will comprise the fractional shares that are due to them.

Without derogating from such power of the Board, in the event of there being as a result of the consolidation, Shareholders remaining whose consolidation of shares leaves fractions, the Board of Directors may:

  • (2) allot to each Shareholder who, as a result of such consolidation is left with fractional shares, fully paid-up shares of the class existing prior to the consolidation in such number as will, when consolidated with the fraction, be sufficient for a single complete consolidated Share and such allotment will be deemed to have taken effect immediately prior to such consolidation or distribution; or
  • (3) determine that Shareholders will not be entitled to receive a consolidated share in respect of a fraction of a consolidated share resulting from the consolidation of one half or less of the number of the shares whose consolidation creates a single consolidated share, but will be entitled to receive a consolidated share in respect of a consolidated fractional share that results from the consolidation of more than one half of the number of the shares whose consolidation creates a single consolidated share;

In the event of action according to sub-paragraphs (2) or (3) above obligating the issue of additional shares then payment thereof will be effected in the manner in which bonus shares are paid. Such consolidation and distribution will not be deemed to be a modification of the rights of the shares to which the consolidation and distribution relates;

(b) effect a re-distribution of the existing shares or part thereof of its share capital, in whole or in part, provided that this will not operate to modify the Shareholders' proportional holdings of the issued share capital;

In case the Company decides to consolidate and divide its share capital as aforesaid, it will determine the par value of the consolidate shares or determine that the consolidate shares will have no par value.

  • (c) cancel registered share capital that on the date of the making of the resolution, had not yet been allotted, provided that no commitment exists of the Company, including a conditional commitment, to allot the shares.
  • (d) reduce the issued share capital of the Company in a manner whereby such shares will be cancelled and all consideration paid in respect of the par value thereof (to the extent relevant) will be recorded in the Company's books as a capital reserve which will, for all purposes, be regarded as premium that has been paid on the shares that will remain in the Company's issued share capital;
  • (e) consolidate its share capital or part thereof into a single class of shares, and the Company shall likewise be entitled to resolve to compensate all or any of the Shareholders of the Company in respect of the consolidation of the share capital, by way of allotting bonus shares to those Shareholders.

    1. Any Shareholder of the Company being a corporate body may empower any person by resolution of its directors or other managing body, as its representative at any general meeting of the Company, as it deems fit to be its representative at any general meeting.

    4. (c) Where only one proxy has been appointed by a shareholder and the instrument of appointment does not specify the number and class of shares in respect of which it was granted, the instrument of appointment will be deemed to have been granted in respect of all the shares held by the shareholder as set forth in the proof of ownership submitted together with such instrument, as appropriate.
