Under the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the "Companies Law"), in general, a person will be deemed to be a controlling shareholder if the person has the power to direct the activities of the company, otherwise than by reason of being a director or other office holder of the company.

After Careful Consideration, Our Board Recommends That Shareholders Vote "For" The Proposals Described In This Proxy Statement.
Pursuant to the Companies Law, all public Israeli companies, such as the Company, are required to adopt a written compensation policy for their executive officers and directors, which addresses certain items prescribed by the Companies Law. In accordance with the Companies Law, the adoption, amendment and restatement of the policy is to be recommended by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of Directors and shareholders. In July 2023, the Company's most recent Compensation Policy was duly approved and adopted. At present, in light of the completion of the relocation of the Company's corporate headquarters to the United States and the Company's desire to attract and retain high-quality personnel in the United States and taking into account the Company's emerging business, needs and requirements, it is hereby proposed to approve the amend and restate the Compensation Policy set forth as Appendix A hereto (the "Updated Compensation Policy"), accordingly.
Our Compensation Committee has reviewed and approved the proposed updated Compensation Policy, which reflects the changes from the Compensation Policy approved by the shareholders in July 2023. Subsequently, our Board of Directors has approved the Updated Compensation Policy and recommended its adoption by the shareholders.
The following are the principle changes proposed to be implemented in our Updated Compensation Policy:
Executive Level Maximum
Active Chairman NIS 600K (for 35% of a full time position and a proportion of this amount to a different percentage of services). CEO US\$ 470 K (for a full time position).
Other Executives (1) In Israel - NIS 1,095 K (for a full time position); and (2) Outside of Israel - with respect to a Chief Executive Officer and or Presidents and or General Manager of a subsidiary of the Company and Executives outside of Israel - US\$ 410 K (for a full time position).
c) Section 5.5 - Variable Compensation Table - We updated the ratios between Fixed and Variable compensation components in alignment with the shift from Base Salary to Fixed Compensation structure mentioned above and revised ratios as detailed below:
| Executive Level | Variable Compensation | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash incenstive compensation | Long term equity based compensation | ||
| Active Chairman | Up to 3 monthly Fixed Compensation or the equivalent thereof. |
Up to 13 monthly Fixed Compensation or the equivalent thereof. |
|
| CEO | Up to 6.7 monthly Fixed Compensation or the equivalent thereof. |
Up to 18.3 monthly Fixed Compensation or the equivalent thereof. |
|
| Other Executives | Up to 6 monthly Fixed Compensation or the equivalent thereof. |
Up to 15.4 monthly Fixed Compensation or the equivalent thereof. |
d) Section 9.1 - Relocation - We added specific parameters for the global relocation expense reimbursement as presented in Section 9.1 of the Compensation Policy.
Terms not specifically defined above shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Updated Compensation Policy.
Our Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors recommend that our shareholders vote "FOR" this resolution.
It is therefore proposed that at the Meeting the shareholders adopt the following resolution:
The Companies Law requires that the terms of service and employment of a company's chief executive officer be approved by the company's compensation committee, the board of directors and the shareholders of the company, except in the limited circumstances set forth in the Companies Law.
Mr. Igal Zamir has served as the Company's Chief Executive Officer since April 30, 2016. For information regarding his terms of employment see Form 6-K filed with the SEC April 20, 2016 and May 24, 2017 which are available on the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
Information Regarding Mr. Zamir, CEO and President compensation for the year ended December 31, 2024 (Amounts in Thousands of US\$)(1):
| Name and Position(2) |
Principal | Base Salary | Benefits and Perquisites(3) |
Variable Compensation(4) | Equity-Based Compensation(5) | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Igal Zamir, CEO and President |
339 | 129.76 | 254.12 | 20.49 | 743.37 |
(1) All amounts reported in the table are in terms of cost.
(2) Cash compensation amounts denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollar were converted into U.S. dollars at the average conversion rate for the year ended December 31, 2024.
(3) Amounts reported in this column include benefits and perquisites, including those mandated by applicable law. Such benefits and perquisites may include, to the extent applicable to each executive, payments, contributions and/or allocations for savings funds, pension, severance, vacation, car or car allowance, medical insurance and benefits, risk insurance (e.g., life, disability, accident), convalescence pay, payments for social security, tax gross-up payments and other benefits and perquisites which are consistent with our guidelines. The amounts included in this column do not include the global relocation expense reimbursement. As mentioned above, Mr. Zamir's relocation entitle him a customary global relocation expense reimbursement which shall not exceed \$135,000 annually. For the purpose of clarification this limitation on relocation expense reimbursement constitute a significant s cost reduction in relation to the current situation.
(4) Amounts reported in this column refer to variable compensation, mainly bonus payments, according to the Company's incentive plan, as will be recorded in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. The amounts were paid during 2024 in respect of performance related to fiscal year 2023 results. These amounts do not include performance related to fiscal year 2024 (including two base salaries (56.5 Thousand of US\$) that were approved as a performance bonus for 2024 as part of the expected bonus for 2024) and bonus payments made in 2024 for the fiscal year 2022.
(5) Amounts reported in this column represent the expense that will be recorded in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, in connection with equity-based compensation granted to the Covered Executive.
Over the past four years, Mr. Zamir has led a comprehensive restructuring of the Company's organizational framework and business operations, while successfully negotiating and securing several large-scale strategic agreements. The transformative initiatives he spearheaded have resulted in record-breaking performance and a sixfold increase in shareholder value. Since 2021, Mr. Zamir has spent more than 50% of his time in the United States, and following the establishment of the Group's headquarters in Charlotte in 2024, he was outside of Israel for a total of 243 days.
In light of these contributions and the ongoing expansion of the Company's global operations, Mr. Zamir will be relocating to the United States as part of the Company's headquarters relocation. Consequently, adjustments to his employment terms are required as follows:
Mr. Zamir's base salary, which currently stands at NIS 1,260 thousand per year, shall change while preserving the same cost to the Company as it was in Israel (i.e., without increasing the fixed compensation component (annual base salary and Additional Benefits1 ) of his employment. In any event, the fixed compensation shall not exceed \$470,000 per year. Additionally, Mr. Zamir will also be entitled to global relocation expense reimbursement as applicably customary. The updated salary complies with the ceilings set forth in the Company's Updated Compensation Policy proposed at this meeting.
In light of Mr. Zamir's contribution to the Company, the Company's shareholders are requested to determine and approve the following changes to the compensation terms of the Company's CEO, Mr. Zamir: (I) Grant of 200,000 options to purchase Ordinary Shares (the "Options") to purchase shares of the Company; and (II) Grant of bonuses equivalent to two monthly salaries.
1 "Additional Benefits" shell includes, inter alia, 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, gifts on public holidays, etc.

On February 4, 2025, Our Compensation Committee and subsequently our Board of Directors approved the proposed grant of 200,000 Options to Mr. Zamir and recommended that it be adopted by the shareholders, in accordance with the following terms:
The Options are exercisable at a price per share of US\$ 29.93, which is higher by 5% above the closing price on the day before the BOD meeting date (February 4, 2025) (which is 28.5 US\$). The Options will vest during a term of four years as follows: (1) 25% of the Options shall vest after 12 months of the date of grant; and (2) 6.25% of the Options shall vest at the end of each 3 months after the first anniversary of the date of grant, as long as Mr. Zamir's service with the Company continues and will remain exercisable for 90 days following cessation or termination of his services with the Company (other than for cause). The Options will expire on the seventh (7) anniversary of the date of the grant.
The total value of these Options is approximately 2,800,000 US\$ (14 \$ value per Option) as of the date of the Board of Directors' approval of the equity grant (according to a Black & Scholes model).
A full acceleration will be permitted in the event of death, disability, medical reasons or a change in control of the Company followed by the delisting of the Company's shares.
An acceleration of the next unvested period will be permitted in the event of change in control of the Company following a resignation or termination of employment of the officer (except in the case of Termination for Cause).
"Termination for Cause" means a termination of the employment of an officer following one or more of the following: embezzlement; theft; criminal offence; act involving moral turpitude; severe disciplinary breach; breach of fiduciary duties; other fundamental breach of the officer's employment agreement; or any other event which under applicable law enables terminating an employee's employment and entirely or partially denying severance payments or prior notice redemption.
The grant of the Options exceeds the provisions of the Company's current compensation policy. However, subject to the approval of the proposed changes to the compensation policy, the grant will comply with the Updated Compensation Policy.
For information regarding previous Options grants as that Company has granted Mr. Zamir see Form 6-K filed with the SEC on April 20, 2016, August 30, 2018, July 26, 2021 and June 7, 2023.

In light of the Company's successful fundraising in September 2024 and Mr. Zamir's significant contribution to this process, it is proposed that the shareholders approve an additional two-month salary one-time special bonus for Mr. Zamir in a total amount of 209,000 ILS in excess to the current compensation policy cap of nine month salary. Therefore this bonus exceeds the current compensation policy and is intended to recognize his exceptional efforts in driving the success of this important milestone.
It should be clarified that, based on the expected results for 2024, Mr. Zamir may receive a bonus up to the maximum cap set forth in the Company's compensation policy. Therefore, in order to enable the Company to reward him for these additional contributions, the proposed special bonus is presented for approval.
When discussing the proposed amendments, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors, inter alia, took into consideration the following:

Therefore, in order to enable the Company to reward him for these additional contributions, the proposed special bonus is presented for approval.
When discussing the proposed resolution, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors, inter alia, took into consideration:
Therefore, our Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors recommend that our shareholders vote "FOR" this resolution.
It is therefore proposed that at the Meeting the shareholders adopt the following resolution:
"RESOLVED, TO APPROVE THE GRANT OF A ONE-TIME SPECIAL BONUSE EQUIVALENT TO TWO MONTHLY SALARIES FOR MR. EHUD BEN-YAIR, THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER OF TAT, AS AN EXCEPTION TO THE COMPANY'S COMPENSATION POLICY."
The Companies Law requires that the terms of service and employment of a director be approved by the company's compensation committee, the Board of Directors and the shareholders of the company, except in the limited circumstances set forth in the Companies Law.
It is proposed to grant 50,000 Options of the Company to Mr. Amos Malka, the active chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company (replacing his previous Option grant approved by our Annual General Meeting held on June 23, 2016.
Mr. Amos Malka was elected as active chairman of our Board of Directors in June 2016. In light of his significant contribution to the Company, it is proposed that the shareholders approve the issuance of Options to Mr. Amos Malka, as described below, in recognition of his continued efforts and leadership in the Company.
When discussing the proposed grant of Options to Mr. Amos Malka, the compensation committee and the Board of Directors took into consideration, inter alia: (a) Mr. Amos Malka has been the Company's active chairman from June 2016 until today and has demonstrated exceptional leadership during this period; (b) Mr. Malka's extensive experience and industry expertise have significantly contributed to the Company's strategic direction and growth; (c) the options' exercise price is congruent with the Company's benefit and the Company's overall strategy over time; (d) the grant of options complies with the Company's compensation policy; and (e) the vesting schedule promotes long-term retention and alignment with shareholder interests.
The proposal is to grant Mr. Amos Malka 50,000 Options to purchase 50,000 of our Ordinary Shares (the "Options"). The Options are exercisable at a price per share of US\$ 29.93, which is higher by 5% above the closing price on the day before the BOD meeting date (February 4, 2025) (which is 28.5 US\$). The Options will vest during a term of four years as follows: (1) 25% of the Options shall vest after 12 months of the date of grant; and (2) 6.25% of the Options shall vest at the end of each 3 months after the first anniversary of the date of grant, as long as Mr. Malka's service with the Company continues and will remain exercisable for 90 days following cessation or termination of his services with the Company (other than for cause). The Options will expire on the seventh (7) anniversary of the date of the grant.
The total value of the Options is approximately 700,000 US\$ (14\$ value per Option) as of the date of the Board of Directors' approval of the equity grant (according to a Black & Scholes model).
A full acceleration will be permitted in the event of death, disability, medical reasons or a change in control of the Company followed by the delisting of the Company's shares.
An acceleration of the next unvested period will be permitted in the event of change in control of the Company following a resignation or termination of employment of the officer (except in the case of Termination for Cause).
"Termination for Cause" means a termination of the employment of an officer following one or more of the following: embezzlement; theft; criminal offence; act involving moral turpitude; severe disciplinary breach; breach of fiduciary duties; other fundamental breach of the officer's employment agreement; or any other event which under applicable law enables terminating an employee's employment and entirely or partially denying severance payments or prior notice redemption.
The grant of the Options exceeds the provisions of the Company's current compensation policy. However, subject to the approval of the proposed changes to the compensation policy, the grant will comply with the Updated Compensation Policy.
Pursuant to its agreement with Mr. Amos Malka, the Company's active chairman of the Board of Directors, the Company paid Mr. Malka a monthly fee of NIS 50,000 plus VAT and is not currently entitled to receive any bonus.
Our Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors recommend that the shareholders will vote "FOR" this resolution.
It is therefore proposed that at the Meeting the shareholders adopt the following resolution:
"RESOLVED, TO APPROVE THE GRANT OF 50,000 OPTIONS TO MR. AMOS MALKA, THE ACTIVE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY, AS AN EXCEPTION TO THE COMPENSATION POLICY OF THE COMPANY, EXERCISABLE INTO ORDINARY SHARES OF THE COMPANY AS DESCRIBED HEREIN."
Our 2022 stock option plan was filed as an Exhibit to the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-268906), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 20, 2022.
As of this date, the Company has two existing Stock Option Plans: 2012 Stock Option Plan and 2022 Stock Option Plan.
As of December 31, 2024, under the 2012 Stock Option Plan, there are currently 491,755 options, and under the 2022 Stock Option Plan, there are 485,625 options. In total, 977,380 options representing approximately 8% of the Company's fully diluted equity.
It is proposed that the Company's shareholders will approve the amended and restated company's 2022 Stock Option Plan (the "Amended and Restated Company's 2022 Stock Option Plan"). The proposed Amended and Restated 2022 Stock Option Plan, marked to show the proposed changes from the existing option plan, is attached as Appendix C hereto.
The main amendment in the Amended and Restated Company's 2022 Stock Option Plan is as follows: Increase the maximum number of Ordinary Shares of the Company that may be issued under the Amended and Restated Company's 2022 Stock Option Plan by an additional 200,000 Ordinary Shares, such that after the increase, the original option pool after the additional Ordinary Shares will equal a total of 750,000 Ordinary Shares.
As of December 31, 2024, 491,755 options remain available for allocation. Given the need to retain and attract high-quality employees, create long-term employee incentives, ensure flexibility in key personnel recruitment, and align the option pool with the Company's growth, it is proposed to expand the 2022 Stock Option Plan as detailed above.
Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote "FOR" this resolution.
It is therefore proposed that at the Meeting the shareholders adopt the following resolution:
"RESOLVED, TO APPROVE, THE AMENDED AND RESTATED COMPANY'S 2022 STOCK OPTION PLAN IN THE FORM ATTACHED AS APPENDIX C HERETO".
Currently, The Company's authorized share capital consists of 13,000,000 Ordinary Shares with no par value per share.
In the Company's view, including consideration of the currently exercisable options, the Company's size, and in order to address the business and financial needs of the Company, including its ongoing business operations, the Company's shareholders are requested to approve the increase of the registered share capital.
It is proposed that the General Meeting of shareholders approve an amendment to the Company's Articles of Association to increase the authorized share capital of the Company by an additional 2,000,000 Ordinary Shares, bringing the total authorized share capital to 15,000,000 Ordinary Shares.
For the shareholders' review, attached as Appendix D is a marked copy of the Company's Articles of Association reflecting the proposed amendment.
Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote "FOR" this resolution.
It is therefore proposed that at the Meeting the shareholders adopt the following resolution:
"RESOLVED, TO APPROVE AN INCREASE IN THE AUTHORIZED SHARE CAPITAL OF THE COMPANY BY 2,000,000 ORDINARY SHARES, AND TO AMEND THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION OF THE COMPANY ACCORDINGLY TO REFLECT THIS CHANGE."
The Management knows of no other business to be acted upon at the Meeting. However, if any other business properly comes before the Meeting, the persons named in the enclosed proxy will vote upon such matters in accordance with their best judgment.
Should changes be made to any Item on the agenda for the Meeting after the publication of this Proxy Statement, we will communicate the changes to our shareholders through the publication of a press release, a copy of which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 6-K and with the Israeli Securities Authority.

To the extent any provision herein conflicts with the conditions of any relevant tax law or regulation which are relied upon for tax relief in respect of a particular Award to a Participant, the provisions of such law or regulation shall prevail over those of the Plan and the Committee is empowered hereunder to interpret and enforce the said prevailing provisions.

(a) The existence of this Plan and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Board or the stockholders of the Company to make or authorize (i) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company's capital structure or its business, (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company or any Affiliate, (iii) any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Ordinary Shares, (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any Affiliate, (v) any sale or transfer of all or part of the assets or business of the Company or any Affiliate or (vi) any other corporate act or proceeding.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(g), in the event of any such change in the capital structure or business of the Company by reason of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin‑off, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation, issuance of rights or warrants to purchase any Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into Ordinary Shares, any sale or transfer of all or part of the Company's assets or business, or any other corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the foregoing and effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, then the Committee shall, subject to applicable law and stock exchange regulations, make such adjustments consistent with such change in such manner as the Committee deems equitable to prevent substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for, Participants under this Plan, to the aggregate number and kind of shares that thereafter may be issued under this Plan, and the number and kind of shares or other property (including cash) to be issued upon exercise of an outstanding Award and the purchase price thereof and the numerical Share limits in Section 4.1 4.1 of the Plan. Any such adjustment determined by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Company and all Participants and employees and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. Except as provided in this Section 4.2 or in the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of any issuance by the Company of any class or securities convertible into stock of any class, any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any stock dividend, any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class, any sale or transfer of all or part of the Company's assets or business or any other change affecting the Company's capital structure or business.
(c) Fractional Ordinary Shares resulting from any adjustment in Awards pursuant to Section 4.2(a) or (b) shall be aggregated until, and eliminated at, the time of exercise by rounding-down for fractions less than one-half and rounding-up for fractions equal to or greater than one-half, unless and to the extent another rounding method is required by applicable law or stock exchange regulations. No cash settlements shall be made with respect to fractional shares eliminated by rounding. Notice of any adjustment shall be given by the Committee to each Participant whose Award has been adjusted and such adjustment (whether or not such notice is given) shall be effective and binding for all purposes of this Plan.
(d) Should the Company declare a cash dividend to its shareholders, and the distribution date of such dividend will precede the exercise date of an Option, including for the avoidance of doubt, Options that have yet to become vested and Options which have been granted prior to the adoption of the amendment to this Plan, unless the Committee otherwise determines, subject to applicable law and stock exchange regulations, the Exercise Price shall be reduced in the amount equal to the cash dividend per Share distributed by the Company.
(e) To the extent required by applicable stock exchange regulations, no Award shall be exercised on the record date, or the ex-date if earlier in time to such record date, of stock dividend, other distribution of dividends, rights offering, stock split, reverse stock split or reduction of authorized share capital.
(f) In the event of issuance of rights made by the Company to the shareholders during the existence of the right to exercise the Award, the number of shares resulting from exercising the Award shall be adjusted to the beneficial component of the rights, as expressed in the ratio between the Stock Market closing exchange rate on the last trading day before the "X day" and, the base rate of the "X rights.
(g) In the event of an Acquisition Event, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, terminate all outstanding and unexercised Awards effective as of the date of the Acquisition Event, by delivering notice of termination to each Participant at least 20 days prior to the date of consummation of the Acquisition Event, in which case during the period from the date on which such notice of termination is delivered to the consummation of the Acquisition Event, each such Participant shall have the right to exercise in full all of his or her Awards that are then outstanding (subject to any limitations on exercisability otherwise contained in the Award agreements), but any such exercise shall be contingent on the occurrence of the Acquisition Event, and, provided that, if the Acquisition Event does not take place within a specified period after giving such notice for any reason whatsoever, the notice and exercise pursuant thereto shall be null and void.
If an Acquisition Event occurs but the Committee does not terminate the outstanding Awards pursuant to this Section 4.2(g), then the provisions of Section 4.2(b) and Article VII shall apply.
(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sections 4.2(d) and 4.2(f) shall not apply to any grants of ISOs to Optionees under the Plan.
4.3 Minimum Purchase Price. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if authorized but previously unissued Ordinary Shares are issued under this Plan, such shares shall not be issued for a consideration that is less than as permitted under applicable law.
5.1 General Eligibility. All Eligible Employees, prospective employees and Consultants of the Company and its Affiliates, and Non-Employee Directors of the Company, are eligible to be granted Awards. Eligibility for the grant of Awards and actual participation in this Plan shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Award under which a Participant may receive Ordinary Shares may be granted under this Plan to an Eligible Employee, Consultant or Non-Employee Director of any Affiliate if such Ordinary Shares do not constitute "service recipient stock" for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, when applicable, with respect to such Eligible Employee, Consultant or Non-Employee Director.
5.2 102 Stock Options. Subject to Applicable Law, 102 Stock Options may not be granted to "controlling shareholders" as defined under the Ordinance and may only be granted to Employees, including Office Holders (as such term is defined in the Companies Law), of the Company or any Affiliate thereof, who are Israeli residents for tax purposes ("Eligible 102 Participants"). 102 Stock Options may either be grants to a Trustee or grants under Section 102 without a trustee. Unless otherwise permitted by the Ordinance and the Rules, no 102 Stock Options to a Trustee may be granted until the expiration of thirty (30) days after the requisite filings under the Ordinance and the Rules have been appropriately made with the ITA.
5.3 Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and subject to the provisions of Section 5.1 above, only Eligible Employees of the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Parent (if any) are eligible to be granted Incentive Stock Options under this Plan. Eligibility for the grant of an Incentive Stock Option and actual participation in this Plan shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.
5.4 General Requirement. The vesting and exercise of Awards granted to a prospective employee or consultant are conditioned upon such individual actually becoming an Eligible Employee or Consultant.
6.1 Options. Each Stock Option granted under this Plan shall be of one of three types: (a) an Incentive Stock Option (b) a 102 Stock Option or (b) a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
6.2 Grants. The Committee shall, in its sole discretion, have the authority to grant to any Eligible Employee (subject to Sections 5.2, 5.3 above and Section 6.3 below) Incentive Stock Options, 102 Stock Options and/or Non-Qualified Stock Options, according to the applying tax regime and the provisions of this Plan. The Committee shall, in its sole discretion, have the authority to grant Non-Qualified Stock Options to any Eligible Employee, Consultant or Non-Employee Director. To the extent that any Stock Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option (whether because of its provisions or the time or manner of its exercise or otherwise), such Stock Option or the portion thereof which does not qualify shall constitute a separate Non-Qualified Stock Option.
6.3 Terms of Options. Options granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement between the Company and the Participant which Award Agreement shall be in such form and contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall deem desirable from time to time. The Award Agreement shall contain the following information:
(a) Number of Shares. Each Award Agreement shall state the number of Shares covered by the Option.
(b) Type of Option. Each Award Agreement shall specifically state the type of Option granted thereunder and whether it constitutes an Incentive Stock Option, Non-Qualified Stock Option, 102 Stock Option and the relevant track, or otherwise.
(c) Exercise Price. Each Award Agreement shall state the Exercise Price, which, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by the Option on the date of grant or such other amount as may be required pursuant to the Code. In the case of any other Option, the per share Exercise Price shall be equal to the amount determined by the Committee. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to any Ten-Percent Shareholder, the Exercise Price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by the Option on the date of grant. In no event shall the Exercise Price of an Option be less than the par value of the shares for which such Option is exercisable. Subject to Article III and to the foregoing, the Committee may reduce the Exercise Price of any outstanding Option. The Exercise Price shall also be subject to adjustment as provided in Article VII hereof.
(d) Exercise Period. Each Option Agreement shall state the Exercise Period, as fixed by the Committee, subject to the vesting provisions set by the Committee as mentioned below, the early termination provisions set forth in Sub-Sections (h) through (k) hereof and provided that no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than (a) five years after the date the Stock Option is granted, in case of Incentive Stock Options granted to Ten-Percent Shareholders; and (b) seven (7) years after the date the Option is granted, in any other case. At the expiration of the Exercise Period, all unexercised Options shall become null and void.
(e) Exercisability and Vesting Terms. Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee at grant and each Option Agreement shall provide the vesting schedule for the Stock Options as determined by the Committee. If the Committee provides, in its discretion, that any Stock Option is exercisable subject to certain limitations and/or vesting schedule (including, without limitation, that such Stock Option is exercisable only in installments and/or within certain time periods and/or subject to performance goals and/or measurements,), the Committee may waive such limitations on the exercisability at any time at or after grant in whole or in part (including, without limitation, waiver of the installment exercise provisions or acceleration of the time at which such Stock Option may be exercised), based on such factors, if any, as the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion and the provisions with respect to any Stock Option need not be the same as the provisions with respect to any other Stock Option. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at grant, the Stock Option agreement shall provide that (i) in the event the Participant engages in Detrimental Activity prior to any exercise of the Stock Option, all Stock Options held by the Participant shall thereupon terminate and expire, (ii) as a condition of the exercise of a Stock Option, the Participant shall be required to certify (or shall be deemed to have certified) at the time of exercise in a manner acceptable to the Company that the Participant is in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Plan and that the Participant has not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, any Detrimental Activity, and (iii) in the event the Participant engages in Detrimental Activity during the one year period commencing on the later of the date the Stock Option is exercised or becomes vested, the Company shall be entitled to recover from the Participant at any time within one year after such exercise or vesting, and the Participant shall pay over to the Company, an amount equal to any gain realized as a result of the exercise (whether at the time of exercise or thereafter).
(f) Method of Exercise. Subject to whatever installment exercise and waiting period provisions apply under subsection (e) above, to the extent vested, Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Stock Option term, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of Ordinary Shares to be purchased. Such notice shall be in a form acceptable to the Company and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Exercise Price as follows: (i) in cash or by check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company; (ii) solely to the extent permitted by applicable law, if the Ordinary Shares are traded on a national securities exchange or quoted on a national quotation system sponsored by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and the Committee authorizes, through a procedure whereby the Participant delivers irrevocable instructions to a broker reasonably acceptable to the Committee to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the Exercise Price; or (iii) on such other terms and conditions as may be acceptable to the Committee (including, without limitation, the relinquishment of Stock Options or by payment in full or in part in the form of Ordinary Shares (for which the Participant has good title free and clear of any liens and encumbrances) based on the Fair Market Value of the Ordinary Shares on the payment date as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion). No Ordinary Shares shall be issued until payment therefor, as provided herein, has been made or provided for.
(g) Non-Transferability of Options. No Stock Option shall be Transferable by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the Participant's lifetime, only by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, at the time of grant or thereafter that a Non-Qualified Stock Option that is otherwise not Transferable pursuant to this Section is Transferable to a Family Member in whole or in part and in such circumstances, and under such conditions, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. A Non-Qualified Stock Option that is Transferred to a Family Member pursuant to the preceding sentence (i) may not be subsequently Transferred otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and (ii) remains subject to the terms of this Plan and the applicable Award agreement. Any Ordinary Shares acquired upon the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option by a permissible transferee of a Non-Qualified Stock Option or a permissible transferee pursuant to a Transfer after the exercise of the Non-Qualified Stock Option shall be subject to the terms of this Plan and the applicable Award agreement.
(h) Termination by Death, Disability or Retirement. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at grant and specifically stated in the Option Agreement, or if no rights of the Participant are reduced, thereafter, if Participant's Termination is by reason of death, Disability or Retirement, all Stock Options that are held by such Participant (or, if relevant, by a Trustee under Section 102 of the Ordinance) that are vested and exercisable at the time of the Participant's Termination may be exercised by the Participant (or, in the case of death, by the legal representative of the Participant's estate) at any time within a period of one year from the date of such Termination, but in no event beyond the expiration of the Exercise Period of such Stock Options; provided, however, that in the case of Retirement, if the Participant dies within such Exercise Period, all unexercised Stock Options held by such Participant shall thereafter be exercisable, to the extent to which they were exercisable at the time of death, for a period of one year from the date of such death, but in no event beyond the expiration of the Exercise Period of such Stock Options.
(i) Involuntary Termination Without Cause. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at grant and specifically stated in the Option Agreement, or if no rights of the Participant are reduced, thereafter, if a Participant's Termination is by involuntary termination without Cause or Participant's Termination is voluntary (other than a voluntary termination described in subsection (k)(y) below), all Stock Options that are held by such Participant (or, if relevant, by a Trustee under Section 102 of the Ordinance) that are vested and exercisable at the time of the Participant's Termination may be exercised by the Participant at any time within a period of 90 days from the date of such Termination, but in no event beyond the expiration of the Exercise Period of such Stock Options.
(k) Termination for Cause. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at grant and specifically stated in the Option Agreement, or if no rights of the Participant are reduced, thereafter, if a Participant's Termination (x) is for Cause or (y) is a voluntary Termination (as provided in sub‑section (j) above) after the occurrence of an event that would be grounds for a Termination for Cause, all Stock Options, whether vested or not vested, that are held by such Participant (or, if relevant, by a Trustee under Section 102 of the Ordinance) shall thereupon terminate and expire as of the date of such Termination.
(l) Unvested Stock Options. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at grant and specifically stated in the Award Agreement, or if no rights of the Participant are reduced, thereafter, Stock Options that are not vested as of the date of a Participant's Termination for any reason shall terminate and expire as of the date of such Termination.
(m) Incentive Stock Option Limitations. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the Ordinary Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an Eligible Employee during any calendar year under this Plan and/or any other stock option plan of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Parent exceeds \$100,000, such Options shall be treated as Non‑Qualified Stock Options. If the Code is amended to provide for a different limitation from that set forth in this Section, such different limitation shall be deemed incorporated herein effective as of the date and with respect to such Options as required or permitted by such amendment to the Code. If an Option is treated as an ISO in part and as a NQSO in part by reason of the limitation set forth in this Section, the Participant may designate which portion of such Option the Participant is exercising. In the absence of such designation, the Participant shall be deemed to have exercised the ISO portion of the Option first. Separate certificates representing each such portion may be issued upon the exercise of the Option. Should any provision of this Plan not be necessary in order for the Stock Options to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, or should any additional provisions be required, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, amend this Plan accordingly, without the necessity of obtaining the approval of the stockholders of the Company.
The Committee, at the written request of any Participant, may in its discretion after verifying the implications of applicable tax law including the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder as now in effect or as hereafter amended, take such actions as may be necessary to convert such Participant's ISOs (or any portions thereof) that have not been exercised on the date of conversion into NQSOs at any time prior to the expiration of such ISOs, regardless of whether the Participant is an Employee of the Company or a Parent or a Subsidiary at the time of such conversion. Such actions may include, but not be limited to, extending the exercise period. At the time of such conversion, the Committee (with the consent of the Participant) may impose such conditions on the exercise of the resulting NQSOs as the Committee in its discretion may determine, provided that such conditions shall not be inconsistent with the Plan. Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give any Participant the right to have such Participant's ISOs converted into NQSOs, and no such conversion shall occur unless and until the Committee takes appropriate action. The Committee, with the consent of the Participant, may also terminate any portion of any ISO that has not been exercised at the time of such conversion.
Each Employee who receives an Incentive Stock Option must agree to notify the Company in writing immediately after the Employee makes a Disqualifying Disposition of any Shares acquired upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option. A "Disqualifying Disposition" is any disposition (including any sale) of such Shares before the later of (a) two (2) years after the date the Employee was granted the Incentive Stock Option, and (b) one (1) year after the date the Employee acquired Shares by exercising the Incentive Stock Option. If the Employee has died before such Share is sold, these holding period requirements do not apply and no Disqualifying Disposition can occur thereafter.
(n) Form, Modification, Extension and Renewal of Stock Options. Subject to the terms and conditions and within the limitations of this Plan, Stock Options shall be evidenced by such an Award Agreement, and the Committee may, in its sole discretion (i) subject to Section 8.1(d) and the applicable law, modify, extend or renew outstanding Stock Options granted under this Plan (provided that the rights of a Participant are not materially and adversely affected without his or her consent), and (ii) accept the surrender of outstanding Stock Options (up to the extent not theretofore exercised) and authorize the granting of new Stock Options in substitution therefor (to the extent not theretofore exercised); provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent required by applicable law or stock exchange regulation, an outstanding Option may not be modified to reduce the exercise price thereof or to extend the Stock Option beyond its stated term nor may a new Option at a lower price be substituted for a surrendered Option (other than adjustments or substitutions in accordance with Section 4.2), unless such action is approved by the stockholders of the Company.
(o) Other Terms and Conditions. Stock Options may contain such other provisions, which shall not be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Plan, as the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, deem appropriate.
(a) Stock Options granted pursuant to this Section 6.4 are intended to be granted under Section 102 of the Ordinance pursuant to either (i) Section 102(b)(2) thereof as capital gains track options ("102 Capital Gains Track Options"), or (ii) Section 102(b)(1) thereof as ordinary income track options (" 102 Ordinary Income Track Options"; together with 102 Capital Gains Track Options, "102 Trustee Options"). 102 Trustee Options shall be granted subject to the following special terms and conditions contained in this Section 6.4, the general terms and conditions specified in Section 6.3 hereof and other provisions of the Plan, except for any provisions of the Plan applying to Stock Options under different tax laws or regulations.
(b) The Company may grant only one type of 102 Trustee Option at any given time to all Participants who are to be granted 102 Trustee Options pursuant to this Plan, and shall file an election with the ITA regarding the type of 102 Trustee Option it elects to grant before the date of grant of any 102 Trustee Options (the "Election"). Such Election shall also apply to any bonus shares received by any Participant as a result of holding the 102 Trustee Options. The Company may change the type of 102 Trustee Option that it elects to grant only after the passage of at least 12 months from the end of the year in which the first grant was made in accordance with the previous Election, or as otherwise provided by applicable law. Any Election shall not prevent the Company from granting Options, pursuant to Section 102(c) of the Ordinance without a Trustee ("102 Non-Trustee Options").
(c) Each 102 Trustee Option will be deemed granted on the date stated in a written notice to be provided by the Company, provided that on or before such date (i) the Company has provided such notice to the Trustee and (ii) the Participant has signed all documents required pursuant to applicable law and under the Plan.
(d) Each 102 Trustee Option, each Share issued pursuant to the exercise of any 102 Trustee Option, and any rights granted thereunder, including, without limitation, bonus shares, shall be allotted and issued to and registered in the name of the Trustee and shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Participant for a period of not less than the requisite period prescribed by the Ordinance and the Rules or such longer period as set by the Committee (the "Required Holding Period"). In the event that the requirements under Section 102 to qualify an Stock Option as a 102 Trustee Option are not met, then the Stock Option may be treated as a 102 Non-Trustee Option, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 102 and the Rules. After termination of the Required Holding Period, the Trustee may release such 102 Trustee Option and any such Shares, provided that (i) the Trustee has received an acknowledgment from the ITA that the Grantee has paid any applicable taxes due pursuant to the Ordinance or (ii) the Trustee and/or the Company and/or its Affiliate withholds any applicable taxes due pursuant to the Ordinance arising from the 102 Trustee Options and/or any Shares allotted or issued upon exercise of such 102 Trustee Options. The Trustee shall not release any 102 Trustee Options or Shares issued upon exercise thereof prior to the payment in full of the Participant's tax liabilities arising from such 102 Trustee Options and/or Shares or the withholding referred to in (ii) above.
(e) Each 102 Trustee Option shall be subject to the relevant terms of the Ordinance and the Rules, which shall be deemed an integral part of the 102 Trustee Option and shall prevail over any term contained in the Plan or Option Agreement which is not consistent therewith. Any provision of the Ordinance, the Rules and any approvals by the Income Tax Commissioner not expressly specified in this Plan or Option Agreement which, as determined by the Committee, are necessary to receive or maintain any tax benefit pursuant to Section 102 shall be binding on the Participant. The Participant granted a 102 Trustee Option shall comply with the Ordinance and the terms and conditions of the Trust Agreement entered into between the Company and the Trustee. The Participant agrees to execute any and all documents, which the Company and/or its Affiliates and/or the Trustee may reasonably determine to be necessary in order to comply with the Ordinance and the Rules.
(f) During the Required Holding Period, the Participants shall not release from trust or sell, assign, transfer or give as collateral, the Shares issuable upon the exercise of a 102 Trustee Option and/or any securities issued or distributed with respect thereto, until the expiration of the Required Holding Period. Notwithstanding the above, if any such sale or release occurs during the Required Holding Period it will result in adverse tax consequences to the Participant under Section 102 of the Ordinance and the Rules, which shall apply to and shall be borne solely by such Participant. Subject to the foregoing, the Trustee may, pursuant to a written request from the Participant, release and transfer such Shares to a designated third party, provided that both of the following conditions have been fulfilled prior to such release or transfer: (i) payment has been made to the ITA of all taxes required to be paid upon the release and transfer of the Shares, and confirmation of such payment has been received by the Trustee and (ii) the Trustee has received written confirmation from the Company that all requirements for such release and transfer have been fulfilled according to the terms of the Company's corporate documents, the Plan, the Option Agreement and any applicable law.
(g) If a 102 Trustee Option is exercised during the Required Holding Period, the Shares issued upon such exercise shall be issued in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Participant. If such 102 Trustee Option is exercised after the expiration of the Required Holding Period, the Shares issued upon such exercise shall, at the election of the Participant, either (i) be issued in the name of the Trustee, or (ii) be issued to the Participant, provided that the Participant first complies with all applicable provisions of the Plan and all taxes with respect thereto shall have been fully paid to the ITA.
(h) The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4 relating to 102 Trustee Options shall not apply with respect to 102 Non-Trustee Options, which shall, however, be subject to the relevant provisions of Section 102 and the Rules.
(i) Upon receipt of a 102 Trustee Option, the Participant will sign an undertaking to release the Trustee from any liability with respect to any action or decision duly taken and executed in good faith by the Trustee in relation to the Plan, or any 102 Trustee Option or Share granted to such Participant thereunder.
7.1 Benefits. In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, and except as otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award Agreement, a Participant's unvested Award shall not vest and a Participant's Award shall be treated in accordance with one of the following methods as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion:
(a) Awards, whether or not then vested, shall be continued, assumed, have new rights substituted therefor or be treated in accordance with Section 4.2(d) hereof, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of Incentive Stock Options, any assumed or substituted Stock Option shall comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulation § 1.424-1 (and any amendments thereto).
(b) The Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide for the purchase of any Awards by the Company or an Affiliate for an amount of cash equal to the excess of the Change in Control Price (as defined below) of the Ordinary Shares covered by such Awards, over the aggregate exercise price of such Awards. For purposes of this Section 7.1, Change in Control Price shall mean the highest price paid per Ordinary Shares in any transaction related to a Change in Control of the Company; provided, however, that such price shall not exceed the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of purchase as determined in accordance Section 409A of the Code.
7.2 Change in Control. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in the applicable Award agreement or other written agreement approved by the Committee, a "Change in Control" shall be deemed to occur following any transaction if: (i) any "person" as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than the Company, any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under any employee benefit plan of the Company, or any company owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of Ordinary Shares of the Company), becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company (or its successor corporation); provided, however, that a merger or consolidation effected solely to implement a recapitalization of the Company or for the primary purpose of change of domicile shall not constitute a Change in Control of the Company; (ii) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company; provided, that this subsection (ii) shall not constitute a Change in Control with respect to the amount of any payment pursuant to an Award under this Plan, or any portion thereof, that is triggered upon a Change in Control and that is intended to constitute "non-qualified deferred compensation" pursuant to Section 409A of the Code; or (iii) the consummation of the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company's assets other than (x) the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a person or persons who beneficially own, directly or indirectly, at least 50% or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Company at the time of the sale or (y) pursuant to a spinoff type transaction, directly or indirectly, of such assets to the stockholders of the Company.
8.1 Termination or Amendment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Board may at any time, and from time to time, amend, in whole or in part, any or all of the provisions of this Plan (including any amendment deemed necessary to ensure that the Company may comply with any regulatory requirement referred to in Article X), or suspend or terminate it entirely, retroactively or otherwise; provided, that without the approval of the holders of the Company's Ordinary Shares entitled to vote in accordance with applicable law and the exchange or system on which the Company's securities are then listed or traded, if so required by applicable law or stock exchange regulation, no amendment may be made that would:
(c) other than adjustments or substitutions in accordance with Section 4.2, amend the terms of outstanding Awards to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Stock Options or to cancel outstanding Stock Options (where prior to the reduction or cancellation the exercise price equals or exceeds the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares underlying such Awards) in exchange for cash, or Stock Options with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Stock Options;
(d) extend the maximum Exercise Period under Section 6.3;
(e) award any Stock Option in replacement of a canceled Stock Option with a higher exercise price, except in accordance with Section 6.3(l); or
(f) require stockholder approval in order for this Plan to comply with the applicable rules of any exchange or system on which the Company's securities are listed or traded at the request of the Company, the applicable provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code or, to the extent applicable to Incentive Stock Options, Section 422 of the Code.
9.1 Unfunded Status of Plan. This Plan is an "unfunded" plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments as to which a Participant has a fixed and vested interest but that are not yet made to a Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.
(a) A Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to any Ordinary Shares covered by the Award until the date of the lawful issuance of such Shares to the Participant. In the case of 102 Option Awards (if such Options are being held by a Trustee), the Trustee shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to any Shares covered by such Award until the date of the lawful issuance of such Shares for the Participant's benefit, and the Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to any Shares covered by the Award until the date of the release of such Shares from the Trustee to the Participant and the issuance of such Shares.
(b) With respect to all Ordinary Shares issued in the form of Awards hereunder or upon the exercise of Awards hereunder, any and all voting rights attached to such Shares and the Participant's entitlement to receive dividends distributed with respect to such Shares, shall be subject to the provisions of the Company's Articles of Association, as amended from time to time, and subject to any applicable law.
(c) Regarding Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of any 102 Trustee Option any rights distributed to the Participants shall be deposited with and/or issued to the Trustee for the benefit of the Participants. All said rights, excluding dividends, shall be held by the Trustee for the applicable Required Holding Period. In the case that the Company distributes dividends, then the amount of dividends with respect of Shares held in trust shall be paid to the Participants that are the beneficial holders of such Shares, subject to deduction at source of the applicable tax.
