October 16, 2025
You are cordially invited to attend, and notice is hereby given of, an Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of ZOOZ Strategy Ltd. (formerly ZOOZ Power Ltd.) (the "Company") to be held at the Company's offices at 4B Hamelacha St., Lod, Israel, on Friday, November 21, 2025 at 4:00 PM (Israel time) (the "Meeting") for the following purposes:
In addition, at the Meeting, shareholders will also have an opportunity to discuss the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024; this item will not involve a vote of the shareholders.
Should changes be made to any item on the agenda for the Meeting after the publication of this proxy statement, the Company will communicate the changes to its shareholders through the publication of a press release, a copy of which will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on a Report on Form 6-K and with the Israel Securities Authority (the "ISA").
Only shareholders of record at the close of business day on Monday, October 27, 2025, the record date for determining those shareholders eligible to vote at the Meeting, will be entitled to vote at the Meeting and at any postponements or adjournments thereof. At such time, each issued and outstanding ordinary share of the Company, par value New Israeli Shekels 0.00286 per share ("Ordinary Share"), will be entitled to one vote upon each of the matters to be presented at the Meeting. All such shareholders are cordially invited to attend the Meeting in person.
Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, you are urged to promptly complete, date and sign the enclosed proxy and to mail it in the enclosed envelope, which requires no postage if mailed in the United States. A shareholder, whose Ordinary Shares are registered with a member of the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. (the "TASE"), and intends to vote his or her Ordinary Shares by proxy, should deliver or mail (via registered mail) his or her completed proxy to the Company's offices at 4B Hamelacha St., Lod, Israel, attention: Chief Financial Officer, together with an ownership certificate confirming his or her ownership of the Ordinary Shares as of the record date, which certificate must be approved by a recognized financial institution, i.e., that TASE member through which he or she holds Ordinary Shares, as required by the Israeli Companies Regulations (Proof of Ownership of Shares for Voting at General Meeting), 2000, as amended. Such shareholder is entitled to receive the ownership certificate in a branch of the relevant TASE member or by mail to his or her address, if the shareholder so requests. Such a request must be made in advance for a particular securities account. Alternatively, a shareholder who holds Ordinary Shares through a TASE member may vote electronically via the electronic voting system of the ISA (the "Electronic Voting System"), after receiving a personal identifying number, an access code and additional information regarding this Meeting from such TASE member and after carrying out a secured identification process, up to six (6) hours before the time set for the Meeting. If applicable, a shareholder may request instructions about such electronic voting from the TASE member through which he or she holds the Ordinary Shares.
Execution and return of a shareholder's proxy will not deprive such shareholder of his or her right to attend the Meeting and vote in person, and any person giving a proxy has the right to revoke it as specified in this proxy statement.
Joint holders of Ordinary Shares should take note that, pursuant to Article 21.3 of the Articles of Association of the Company, subject to any applicable law, any joint holder of an Ordinary Share may vote at any meeting, in person or by proxy due to that share, as though they had been the only eligible shareholder. If more than one joint shareholder participates at the meeting in person or by proxy, the shareholder listed first in the shareholders register or the ownership certificate or another document as the Company's Board of Directors determines for this purpose will vote due to that share, as applicable.
A proxy will be effective only if it is received at the Company's office no later than 6:59 AM (Israel time) on November 20, 2025, or, in case of a shareholder voting electronically through the Electronic Voting System, no later than six (6) hours prior to the time of the Meeting (i.e., 10:00 AM (Israel time) on November 21, 2025).
By Order of the Board of Directors, /s/ Avi Cohen Avi Cohen Chairman of the Board of Directors Lod, Israel October 16, 2025
Exhibit 99.2
This proxy statement is being furnished to the holders of ordinary shares, par value New Israeli Shekels ("NIS") 0.00286 per share ("Ordinary Shares"), of ZOOZ Strategy Ltd. (formerly ZOOZ Power Ltd.) ("ZOOZ" or the "Company") in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") of proxies for use at the Company's Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, or at any postponements or adjournments thereof (the "Meeting").
The Meeting will be held on Friday, November 21, 2025, at 4:00 PM (Israel time), at the Company's offices at 4B Hamelacha St., Lod, Israel, for the following purposes:
In addition, at the Meeting, shareholders will also have an opportunity to discuss the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024; this item will not involve a vote of the shareholders.
Should changes be made to any item on the agenda for the Meeting after the publication of this proxy statement, the Company will communicate the changes to its shareholders through the publication of a press release, a copy of which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on a Report on Form 6-K and with the Israel Securities Authority (the "ISA").
Only shareholders of record at the close of business day on Monday, October 27, 2025, the record date for determining those shareholders eligible to vote at the Meeting, will be entitled to vote at the Meeting and at any postponements or adjournments thereof. At such time, each issued and outstanding Ordinary Share will be entitled to one vote upon each of the matters to be presented at the Meeting. All such shareholders are cordially invited to attend the Meeting in person.
A form of proxy for use at the Meeting and a return envelope for the proxy are also enclosed.
If specified by a shareholder on the form of proxy, the Ordinary Shares represented thereby will be voted in accordance with such specification. If a choice is not specified by a shareholder with respect to any proposal, the form of proxy will be voted "FOR" any such proposal and in the discretion of the proxies with respect to all other matters which may properly come before the meeting and any and all postponements or adjournments thereof. On all matters considered at the Meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as neither a vote "FOR" nor "AGAINST" the matter, although they will be counted in determining if a quorum is present. Broker non-votes are votes that brokers holding shares of record for their clients are, pursuant to applicable stock exchange or other rules, precluded from casting in respect of certain non-routine proposals because such brokers have not received specific instructions from their clients as to the manner in which such shares should be voted on those proposals and as to which the brokers have advised the Company that, accordingly, they lack voting authority.
A shareholder, whose Ordinary Shares are registered with a member of the TASE, and intends to vote his or her Ordinary Shares by proxy, should deliver or mail (via registered mail) his or her completed proxy to the Company's offices at 4B Hamelacha St., Lod, Israel, attention: Chief Financial Officer, together with an ownership certificate confirming his or her ownership of the Company's Ordinary Shares as of the record date, which certificate must be approved by a recognized financial institution, i.e., that TASE member through which he or she hold their Ordinary Shares, as required by the Israeli Companies Regulations (Proof of Ownership of Shares for Voting at General Meeting), 2000, as amended. Such shareholder is entitled to receive the ownership certificate in a branch of the relevant TASE member or by mail to his or her address, if the shareholder so requests. Such a request must be made in advance for a particular securities account. Alternatively, a shareholder who holds Ordinary Shares through members of TASE may vote electronically via the electronic voting system of the ISA (the "Electronic Voting System"), after receiving a personal identifying number, an access code and additional information regarding this Meeting from the member of the TASE and after carrying out a secured identification process, up to six (6) hours before the time set for the Meeting. If applicable, a shareholder may request instructions about such electronic voting from the TASE member through which he or she holds Ordinary Shares.
Joint holders of Ordinary Shares should take note that, pursuant to Article 21.3 of the Articles of Association of the Company (the "Articles"), subject to any applicable law, any joint holder of an Ordinary Share may vote at any meeting, in person or by proxy due to that share, as though they had been the only eligible shareholder. If more than one joint shareholder participates at the meeting in person or by proxy, the shareholder listed first in the shareholders register or the ownership certificate or another document as the Board determines for this purpose will vote due to that share, as applicable.
A proxy will be effective only if it is received at the Company's office no later than 6:59 AM (Israel time) on November 20, 2025, or, in case of a shareholder voting electronically through the Electronic Voting System, no later than six (6) hours prior to the time of the Meeting (i.e., 10:00 AM Israel time on November 21, 2025).
A shareholder may revoke the authority granted by execution of his or her proxy at any time before the effective exercise thereof by: (i) filing with the Company a written notice of revocation or duly executed proxy bearing a later date (which revocation or new proxy will be effective only if it is received at the Company's office no later than 6:59 AM (Israel time) on November 20, 2025, as noted above); (ii) electronically voting through the Electronic Voting System at a later date (but no later than six (6) hours prior to the time of the Meeting (i.e., 10:00 AM (Israel time) on November 21, 2025); or (iii) voting in person at the Meeting. However, attendance at the Meeting will not in and of itself constitute revocation of proxy, and if a shareholder attends the Meeting and does not elect to vote in person, his or her proxy or electronic voting through the Electronic Voting System will not be revoked.
Proxies for use at the Meeting are being solicited by the Board mainly by mail and phone. The Company will bear the cost for the solicitation of the proxies, including postage, printing and handling, and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding material to beneficial owners of Ordinary Shares. In addition to solicitation by mail and phone, certain of the Company's officers, directors, employees, consultants and agents may solicit proxies by telephone, electronic mail or other personal contact. None of the aforementioned officers, directors, employees, consultants or agents of the Company will receive additional compensation for such solicitation. We have engaged Campaign Management, LLC, a proxy solicitation firm, to assist in the solicitation of proxies and provide related advice and informational support for a fee of approximately \$12,000 plus out-of-pocket expenses and customary disbursements.

Two or more shareholders present in person, by proxy or by voting through the Electronic Voting System and holding together Ordinary Shares conferring in the aggregate twenty five percent (25%) or more of the voting power of the Company, shall constitute a quorum at the Meeting. If within half an hour from the time set for the Meeting a quorum is not present, the Meeting shall stand adjourned to Friday, November 28, 2025, at the same time and place. At such adjourned meeting, two or more shareholders present in person, by proxy or by voting through the Electronic Voting System and holding together Ordinary Shares conferring in the aggregate twenty five percent (25%) or more of the voting power of the Company, shall constitute a quorum and if no quorum is present at the adjourned meeting within 30 minutes of the scheduled adjourned meeting start date, the meeting will be held regardless of the number of shareholders participating.
Only shareholders of record at the close of business on Monday, October 27, 2025, the record date for determining those shareholders eligible to vote at the Meeting, will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof. At such time, each issued and outstanding Ordinary Share will be entitled to one vote upon the matter to be presented at the Meeting. All such shareholders are cordially invited to attend the Meeting in person.
In accordance with applicable Israeli law, the approval of Item No. 1, Item No. 3 and Item No. 4 on the agenda for the Meeting requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Ordinary Shares represented and voting on this item at the Meeting in person, by proxy or through the Electronic Voting System; provided that (i) the majority of the Ordinary Shares voted in favor of such items are not held by "controlling shareholders" or shareholders with "personal interest" in the approval of the respective item (each, an "Interested Shareholder"), not taking into account any abstentions, or that (ii) the total number of the shareholders mentioned in clause (i) above that voted against the proposal does not exceed two percent (2%) of the aggregate voting rights in the Company (the "Special Majority"). In addition, in accordance with applicable Israeli law, the approval of Item No. 2, Item No. 5 and Item No. 6 on the agenda for the Meeting requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Ordinary Shares represented and voting on this item at the Meeting in person, by proxy or through the Electronic Voting System; provided however, that in the event that Item No. 1 on the agenda for the Meeting is not approved, the approval of Item No. 2 on the agenda for the Meeting will also require the Special Majority.
For the purpose of the Special Majority, a "controlling shareholder" is any shareholder that has the ability to direct the Company's activities (other than by means of being a director or office holder of the Company). A person is presumed to be a controlling shareholder if he or she holds or controls, by himself or herself or together with others, one half or more of any one of the "means of control" of a company. "Means of control" is defined as any one of the following: (i) the right to vote at a general meeting of a company, or (ii) the right to appoint directors of a company or its chief executive officer. In addition, the term "controlling shareholder" also includes a person who holds twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the voting rights in the general meeting of the Company if there is no other person who holds more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting rights in the Company; for the purpose of holding, two or more persons holding voting rights in the Company each of whom has a personal interest in the approval of the transaction being brought for approval of the Company will be considered to be joint holders.
A "personal interest" of a shareholder in an action or transaction of a company includes a personal interest of any of the shareholder's relatives (i.e., spouse, brother or sister, parent, grandparent, child as well as child, brother, sister or parent of such shareholder's spouse or the spouse of any of the above) or an interest of a company with respect to which the shareholder or the shareholder's relative (as defined above) holds five percent (5%) or more of such company's issued shares or voting rights, in which any such person has the right to appoint a director or the chief executive officer or in which any such person serves as director or the chief executive officer, including the personal interest of a person voting pursuant to a proxy which the proxy grantor has a personal interest, whether or not the person voting pursuant to such proxy has discretion with regards to the vote; and excludes an interest arising solely from the ownership of ordinary shares of a company.
Under Israeli law, with respect to Item No. 1, Item No. 3 and Item No. 4, and for cautionary purposes also Item No. 2, every voting shareholder is required to deliver a written notice to the Company in the event that such shareholder is an Interested Shareholder. To avoid confusion, each voting shareholder voting in person, by proxy (including by the voting instruction card) or through the Electronic Voting System, who has not delivered a written notice to the Company that he or she is an Interested Shareholder, will be deemed to confirm that such shareholder is NOT an Interested Shareholder.
If you think that you are an Interested Shareholder with respect to Item No. 1, Item No. 2, Item No. 3 or Item No. 4, please deliver a written notice to the Company's Chief Financial Officer, Mrs. Ruth Smadja, by email at [email protected]. If your shares are held in "street name" by your broker, bank or other nominee and you are an Interested Shareholder, you should deliver a written notice to your broker, bank or other nominee of that status, and they in turn should notify the Company as described in the preceding sentence.
The following table sets forth certain information as of October 14, 2025 regarding (i) persons or entities known to the Company to beneficially own more than 5% of the Company's outstanding Ordinary Shares, (ii) each "office holder"1, as such term is defined in the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the "Companies Law") of the Company (the "Office Holders") known to the Company to beneficially own more than 1% of the Company's issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares (to the extent applicable); and (iii) all Office Holders as a group.
The information contained in the table below has been obtained from the Company's records or disclosed in public filings with the SEC.
Except where otherwise indicated, and except pursuant to community property laws, we believe, based on information furnished by such owners, that the beneficial owners of the Ordinary Shares listed below have sole investment and voting power with respect to such Ordinary Shares.
The SEC defines "beneficial ownership" of a security to mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of voting power and/or investment power over such security. The "Number of Ordinary Shares Beneficially Owned" in the table below includes Ordinary Shares that may be acquired upon (i) the exercise of any option, warrant or right, (ii) the conversion of a security, (iii) the power to revoke a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement, or (iv) the automatic termination of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, ordinary shares subject to exercise of options or other rights (as set forth above) that are either currently exercisable or will become exercisable within sixty (60) days as of October 14, 2025, are included. The Ordinary Shares that may be issued under these options are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of determining the percentage owned by the person or group holding the options but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of determining the percentage of ownership of any other person or group shown in the table. The shareholders listed below do not have any different voting rights from any of our other shareholders.

Copies of the proxy card, the notice of the Meeting and this Proxy Statement are available at www.zoozpower.com. Information about the Meeting can also be found on the "Investor Relations" section of our website. The contents of our and any other website are not incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement.
Under the Companies Law, the board of directors of an Israeli public company is required to establish a compensation policy regarding the terms of office of its office holders. Our office holders include our directors, executives and other managers who meet the definition of "office holder" under the Companies Law. We refer hereunder to office holders other than our directors as executives.
Pursuant to the Companies Law, the compensation committee and the board of directors of an Israeli public company must review the compensation policy from time to time, to consider its appropriateness and ensure its alignment with the company's compensation philosophy. The compensation policy must generally be re-approved once every three years, or upon the lapse of a five-year period following the company's initial public offering. The adoption, amendment and restatement of the policy is to be approved by the board of directors, after considering the recommendation of the compensation committee. Following such approvals, the compensation policy should be approved by the company's shareholders, subject to the Special Majority requirements that are detailed above in the "Required Vote and Voting Procedures" section, except that the approval of the shareholders may be waived or overruled by the compensation committee and board of directors in certain circumstances prescribed by the Companies Law.
The Company's current compensation policy (the "Current Compensation Policy") was approved by our shareholders on February 11, 2021, as amended on October 14, 2021, following the approval of our Board and our compensation committee (the "Compensation Committee"), respectively.
On July 29, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Initial Purchase Agreement") for a private placement (the "Initial Private Placement") with certain institutional and other accredited investors ,which closed on July 31, 2025 (the "Initial Closing").
On July 29, 2025, the Company entered into an additional Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Subsequent Purchase Agreement" and together with the Initial Purchase Agreement, the "Purchase Agreements") for a private placement (the "Subsequent Private Placement" and together with the Initial Private Placement, the "Private Placement") with certain institutional and other accredited investors, as well as additional agreements and documents related thereto.
On September 30, 2025, the Company announced the closing of the Subsequent Private Placement and the additional agreements and documents, in connection with the Company's adoption of a bitcoin treasury reserve strategy. Such closing followed the shareholder approvals received at the Company's extraordinary general meeting held on September 19, 2025 (the "Extraordinary Meeting").
Following the closing of the Private Placement and related agreements and documents, the Company has begun undergoing a substantial transition in its business strategy, from a company engaged in the ultra-fast electric vehicle ("EV") chargers, to a company engaged in bitcoin treasury reserve strategy, which requires specific expertise and talent in a rapidly evolving market with aggressive competition over such talent. In order to enable the Company to compete over such talent, the Compensation Committee and the Board reviewed the Current Compensation Policy, which was adopted by the Company in 2021, when the Company was listed for trading only on the TASE and was engaged in its previous line of business in the EV market. The Current Compensation Policy was not updated since its adoption in 2021, including following the Company's dual-listing on Nasdaq, to better tailor it for a Nasdaq-listed company and for the new executives serving. When reviewing the Current Compensation Policy, the Compensation Committee and the Board assessed its adequacy for the Company's new business strategy, which introduces new risks and uncertainties, including the ones detailed in the Company's report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on July 29, 2025 and in any subsequent filing made by the Company with the SEC, as well as its suitability for the new competitive business environment for executives and directors in such field and the aggressive competition that the Company is facing for attracting and retaining appropriate executives and directors in this sector. For such purpose, the Compensation Committee and the Board used benchmarking analysis with peer companies, as further detailed below, and concluded that the Current Compensation Policy is not adequate to support attracting and retaining appropriate executives and directors for its new business strategy, and should be replaced in its entirety with a new compensation policy specifically tailored for the Company's new position.
As an international bitcoin treasury reserve strategy company, with several directors and other Office Holders who have the unique expertise required for leading the Company in its new business, and some of them residing outside of Israel (mainly in the United States), the Company is required to adopt a global compensation framework and compensation practices that are in line with those of its global peers in order to be competitive. Unlike its U.S. peers, which are comprised of U.S. issuers subject to the "Say on Pay" model, the Company is subject to an ex-ante process governed by Israeli legislation, which requires the adoption of a compensation policy that is brought for approval by Company shareholders. Hence, while the "Say on Pay" model requires shareholders to provide their support of compensation practices in retrospect, Israeli legislation imposes forward looking limitations on the Compensation Committee's and the Board's authority to approve executive compensation, setting a maximum cap upon each compensation component. Should the Compensation Committee and the Board wish to grant executive compensation that exceeds a certain cap defined under the compensation policy, it cannot do so without seeking the specific approval of the Company's shareholders in advance.
The Company's competitors are not limited in this manner and have the authority to approve executive compensation as they deem is in the best interest of their company. Having the appropriate authority to compete over executive talent in the Company's industry is, therefore, of utmost importance, especially considering that there may be significant variance among the Company's executives in terms of individual compensation levels based on their position, location, expertise and experience and the Company's compensation policy should provide the Compensation Committee and the Board with authority to approve executive compensation that is competitive in relation to that provided by the Company's peers, both in ordinary and exceptional circumstances – with the proposed maximum caps determined for the purpose of allowing enough flexibility for the Company to provide such level of compensation when appropriate.
In light of all of the above, and in order to determine the global best practices in executive compensation and to ascertain the positioning of the Company's Office Holders' compensation packages vis-à-vis its peers, the Compensation Committee and Board have used an independent third party's benchmarking analysis with peer companies which the Compensation Committee and the Board deemed relevant in this respect. It is noted that since the Company is the first Israeli Nasdaq and TASE dual-listed company to implement a long-term strategic bitcoin treasury reserve strategy, this benchmark analysis was mostly of non-Israeli Nasdaq-listed technology companies. Such benchmark analysis provided that the Current Compensation Policy, including the pay mix and caps included therein, is not suitable for a global Company, which has transformed its business and requires specific expertise and talent in a rapidly evolving market with aggressive competition over such talent. The Compensation Committee and the Board also carefully considered the nature of the Company's new business, the duties and responsibilities of the Company's directors and other Office Holders considering the size of the Company and the scope, complexity and nature of its operations and information regarding its strategic business transition process, in light of the Company's new business strategy, the challenges that the Company faces, the need to enhance the global competitiveness of the Company in attracting and retaining highly qualified directors and other Office Holders worldwide, market trends, including in situations where companies have undergone strategic business transitions, as well as other relevant information and materials that they deemed fit, and after analyzing all relevant factors and considerations required under the Companies Law, the Compensation Committee and Board have determined to adopt a new compensation policy tailored for the Company, which will replace the Current Compensation Policy in its entirety and will be in effect for a three-year period following its adoption (unless earlier amended or replaced in accordance with the Companies Law), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "New Compensation Policy"), which was determined to be reasonable, appropriate and for the benefit of the Company, and recommend to the Company's shareholders to approve the New Compensation Policy.
The terms of office of Office Holders are detailed in the New Compensation Policy, and include, among other things, arrangements regarding exculpation, insurance and indemnification, according to which, among other things, the Company may provide Executives and Directors with general directors' and officers' liability insurance as detailed therein, as well as recoupment and reduction of compensation provisions applicable to all Office Holders, which are in addition to any other "clawback" or similar provisions regarding recoupment and reduction of compensation imposed on Office Holders by virtue of applicable securities laws, a separate contractual obligation or Company policies (which shall include the Company's Policy for Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation, as adopted by the Board and as may be in effect from time to time).
"RESOLVED, that the New Compensation Policy in the form attached to the Proxy Statement as Exhibit A be, and hereby is, approved and adopted."
In accordance with applicable Israeli law, the approval of Item No. 1 on the agenda for the Meeting requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Ordinary Shares represented and voting on this item at the Meeting in person, by proxy or through the Electronic Voting System; provided that the Special Majority requirement is also satisfied, i.e. (i) the majority of the Ordinary Shares voted in favor of such items are not held by Interested Shareholders, not taking into account any abstentions, or that (ii) the total number of the shareholders mentioned in clause (i) above that voted against the proposal does not exceed two percent (2%) of the aggregate voting rights in the Company.
For the definition of Interested Shareholder, see the "Required Vote and Voting Procedures" section above.
Under Israeli law, with respect to Item No. 1, every voting shareholder is required to deliver a written notice to the Company stating whether such shareholder is an Interested Shareholder. To avoid confusion, each voting shareholder voting in person, by proxy (including by the voting instruction card) or through the Electronic Voting System, who has not delivered a written notice to the Company that he or she is an Interested Shareholder, will be deemed to confirm that such shareholder is NOT an Interested Shareholder.
If you think that you are an Interested Shareholder with respect to Item No. 1, please deliver a written notice to the Company's Chief Financial Officer, Ms. Ruth Smadja, by email at [email protected]. If your shares are held in "street name" by your broker, bank or other nominee and you are an Interested Shareholder, you should deliver a written notice to your broker, bank or other nominee of that status, and they in turn should notify the Company as described in the preceding sentence.
The Board recommends that the shareholders vote "FOR" the proposed resolution.
Under the Companies Law, any Israeli public company that seeks to approve terms of compensation of a director, is required to obtain the approval of its compensation committee, board of directors and shareholders, in that order.
On July 29, 2025, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreements for the Private Placement as well as into additional related agreements and documents, which, upon closing, dramatically increased the Company's capital base and enabled it to launch its new cryptocurrency treasury reserve strategy, in connection with which the Company adopted bitcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset on an ongoing basis, subject to market conditions and its anticipated cash needs.
At the Initial Closing, the Board appointed Messrs. Jordan Fried, Samer Haj-Yehia and Todd Thomson to serve on the Board, effective as of the Initial Closing and until the date of the Extraordinary Meeting, and two of the Company's then-serving directors, Mr. Doron Meir Vadai and Mr. Sanqiang (Larry) Wang stepped down from service. At the Extraordinary Meeting, Messrs. Jordan Fried, Samer Haj-Yehia and Todd Thomson were re-elected by our shareholders as members of Class III, Class II and Class II (as such terms are defined in the Articles), respectively, and Mr. Jonas Grossman and Mr. Alberto Franco were elected by our shareholders as members of Class II and Class I (as such terms are defined in the Articles), respectively. These directors will hold office until the first Annual Meeting (as defined in the Articles) following the date of the Meeting at which their respective Class is brought for re-election and until their respective successor is elected and qualified or until such earlier time as their respective office is vacated. In addition, at the Extraordinary Meeting 2 additional then-serving directors, Dan Weintraub and Naama Zeldis, stepped down from service.
Currently, all of our serving directors (other than Mr. Avi Cohen, the Chairman of the Board and other than Mr. Jordan Fried, our Chief Executive Officer and director, who is not entitled to any compensation for his service as a director and is only entitled to compensation for his service as our Chief Executive Officer) are entitled to the same compensation which was approved by our shareholders on February 11, 2021, which is currently comprised of cash compensation in accordance with regulations promulgated under the Companies Law concerning the remuneration of external directors (the "Remuneration Regulations"), as supplemented by the Israeli Companies Regulations (Alleviation for Public Companies whose shares are Traded on the Stock Exchange Outside of Israel), 2000 (the "Alleviation Regulations"), in accordance with the "fixed" amounts of the annual and participation fees, as set forth in the Remuneration Regulations, as supplemented by the Alleviation Regulations, based on the classification of the Company according to the amount of its capital, and to reimbursement of travel expenses for participation in a meeting, which is held outside of the director's place of residence, as further detailed under the caption "Compensation" in Item No. 5 below, which is consistent with the Current Compensation Policy and with the New Compensation Policy (the "Current Directors' Compensation").
As noted above, the Current Directors' Compensation was approved by our shareholders on February 11, 2021, while the Company was listed for trading only on the TASE, was required to appoint external directors pursuant to the Companies Law and pay them limited compensation as permitted under the Remuneration Regulations as supplemented pursuant to the Alleviation Regulations, as detailed above, which it is no longer required to do, and was engaged in the ultra-fast EV charging business, before transitioning into a company engaged in bitcoin treasury reserve strategy.
Following the closing of the Private Placement and said transition of the Company, the Compensation Committee and Board do not consider the Current Directors' Compensation to be appropriate, given the material changes that the Company has undergone since such compensation was originally approved, in light of the considerations detailed in Item No. 1 above, the Company's new business strategy and the risks and uncertainties associated therewith, the Company's aggressively competitive landscape and the need to adopt compensation practices that are in line with those of its peers.
In light of all of the above, and in order to determine the adequate compensation practices in directors' compensation and to ascertain the positioning of the Company's directors' compensation packages vis-à-vis the Company's peers, the Compensation Committee and Boards reviewed a benchmarking analysis prepared by an independent third party, with small-cap peer companies which the Compensation Committee and Board deemed relevant in this respect. It is noted that since the Company is the first Israeli Nasdaq and TASE dual-listed company to implement a long-term strategic bitcoin treasury, this benchmark analysis was mostly of non-Israeli Nasdaq-listed technology companies.
The Compensation Committee and the Board also carefully considered the nature of the Company's new business as a company engaged in bitcoin treasury reserve strategy, the duties and responsibilities of its directors considering the size of the Company and the scope, complexity and nature of its operations and information regarding its strategic business transition process, in light of the Company's new business strategy, the need to enhance the global competitiveness of the Company in attracting and retaining highly qualified directors worldwide, which are limited in number, in a market aggressively competing for such limited talent, market trends, including in situations where companies have undergone strategic business transitions, as well as other relevant information and materials that they deemed fit. The Compensation Committee and Board believe that the new compensation terms of the Company's serving and future directors (other than Mr. Fried, who is not entitled to any compensation for his service as director and is only entitled to compensation for his service as Chief Executive Officer), as detailed below (the "Directors' Compensation Terms"), would align the Company's directors' compensation with market practice implemented by the Company's global peers, recognizing the time, attention, and expertise required by its directors, and setting the foundation for attracting and retaining the most qualified and experienced directors in the Company's industry.
The Directors' Compensation Terms include the following:
In recognition of the additional duties and responsibilities of the Chairperson of the Board, the compensation terms of the current Chairperson of the Board, or as may be from time to time, will include the following additional terms (in addition to those detailed under Directors' Compensation above, which shall apply to current or future Chairperson of the Board):
In addition to the terms set forth above, the following general terms shall apply to compensation paid to directors (including the Chairperson of the Board), either currently serving or as may serve from time to time:
In addition to the considerations detailed above, the Directors' Compensation Terms, including the value, mix and other terms thereof, were examined by the Compensation Committee and the Board and evaluated in accordance with the two benchmarking analyses mentioned above, taking into account, among other things, the ratio between cash and equity compensation, the type and value of equity grants, as well as the full compensation package of the directors. Following due consideration, the Compensation Committee and Board have determined to target the 75th percentile of the independent benchmarking analyses received given the Company's substantial transition in its business strategy as detailed above and the requirement to attract and retain directors with specific expertise and talent in a highly competitive environment for such talent. The Compensation Committee and Board examined the value of the directors' proposed cash and equity-based compensation, as well as the total compensation amount, and determined they approximate the 75th percentile of the independent benchmarking study for the Company's peer companies. The Compensation Committee and Board have also examined the total compensation package proposed to be approved, while taking into account the applicable cap in the New Compensation Policy, and have analyzed all relevant factors and considerations required under the Companies Law, and have approved in their separate meetings held on October 15, 2025 that the Directors' Compensation Terms are in line with the New Compensation Policy and are reasonable, appropriate and for the benefit of the Company.
In the event that Item No. 2 is not approved, the directors (other than Mr. Avi Cohen, the Chairman of the Board and other than Mr. Fried, who is not entitled to any compensation for his service as director and is only entitled to compensation for his service as Chief Executive Officer) will be entitled to the Current Directors' Compensation, and Mr. Cohen, the Chairman of the Board, will be entitled to the compensation currently paid to him as previously approved by our shareholders on April 17, 2023, in an extraordinary general meeting, without the need for shareholder approval thereof, as detailed in Item No. 5 below.
"RESOLVED, that the Directors' Compensation Terms as detailed in Item No. 2 of the Proxy Statement, be, and hereby are, approved and adopted, effective as of the date hereof."
In accordance with applicable Israeli law, the approval of Item No. 2 on the agenda for the Meeting requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Ordinary Shares represented and voting on this item at the Meeting in person, by proxy or through the Electronic Voting System, provided that Item No. 1 on the agenda for the Meeting is approved.
In the event that Item No. 1 on the agenda for the Meeting is not approved, then the approval of Item No. 2 on the agenda for the Meeting requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Ordinary Shares represented and voting on this item at the Meeting in person, by proxy or through the Electronic Voting System; provided that the Special Majority requirement is also satisfied, i.e. (i) the majority of the Ordinary Shares voted in favor of such items are not held by Interested Shareholders, not taking into account any abstentions, or that (ii) the total number of the shareholders mentioned in clause (i) above that voted against the proposal does not exceed two percent (2%) of the aggregate voting rights in the Company.
For the definition of Interested Shareholder, see the "Required Vote and Voting Procedures" section above.
For cautionary purposes, under Israeli law, with respect to Item No. 2, every voting shareholder is required to deliver a written notice to the Company stating whether such shareholder is an Interested Shareholder. To avoid confusion, each voting shareholder voting in person, by proxy (including by the voting instruction card) or through the Electronic Voting System, who has not delivered a written notice to the Company that he or she is an Interested Shareholder, will be deemed to confirm that such shareholder is NOT an Interested Shareholder.
If you think that you are an Interested Shareholder with respect to Item No. 2, please deliver a written notice to the Company's Chief Financial Officer, Ms. Ruth Smadja, by email at [email protected]. If your shares are held in "street name" by your broker, bank or other nominee and you are an Interested Shareholder, you should deliver a written notice to your broker, bank or other nominee of that status, and they in turn should notify the Company as described in the preceding sentence.
The Board recommends that the shareholders vote "FOR" the proposed resolution.
Generally, under the Companies Law, any Israeli public company that seeks to approve terms of compensation of a chief executive officer is required to obtain the approval of its compensation committee, board of directors and shareholders, in that order.
At the Initial Closing, the Board appointed Mr. Jordan Fried to serve on the Board, effective as of the Initial Closing and until the date of the Extraordinary Meeting. At the Extraordinary Meeting and in connection with the closing of the Private Placement, Mr. Fried was re-appointed as a Class III director and was appointed as the Company's new Chief Executive Officer. At the Extraordinary Meeting, the Company's shareholders also approved Mr. Fried's terms of office and service as the Company's new Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which the Company will pay Mr. Fried \$1.00 per year and Mr. Fried was granted an equity award as detailed in the proxy statement for the Extraordinary Meeting. In addition, Mr. Fried is not entitled to any compensation for his service as a director on the Board.
The New Compensation Policy includes caps for Executives' bonuses and equity grants, which are tied to the relevant Executive's Base Salary (as such terms are defined in the New Compensation Policy), as detailed in Item No. 1 above. The New Compensation Policy also states that in the event where an Executive foregoes a portion of his or her Base Salary, the applicable maximum amounts, caps, ratios etc. which are detailed in the New Compensation Policy and are based on Base Salary shall be calculated based on the pre-foregone Base Salary that was due to be paid to such Executive, for all intents and purposes.
Since the Company pays Mr. Fried \$1.00 per year in accordance with his terms of office and service as approved at the Extraordinary Meeting, the Compensation Committee and Board approved in their separate meetings held on October 15, 2025 that, subject to the adoption of the New Compensation Policy, for the purpose of calculating the applicable maximum amounts, caps, ratios etc. which are detailed in the New Compensation Policy, are based on Base Salary and are applicable to Mr. Fried as the Company's Chief Executive Officer, the Base Salary applicable to Mr. Fried (which shall be considered to be foregone by him for all intents and purposes) shall be NIS 110,000 (the "Assumed Base Salary").
As part of the Company's forward-looking strategic plans, the Compensation Committee and Board believe that it is appropriate to create for Mr. Fried an annual cash bonus plan for the year 2026 that awards annual achievements and that is aligned with the Company's forward-looking strategy (the "CEO 2026 Bonus Plan"). The CEO 2026 Bonus Plan shall include annual measurable objectives that will be set in advance for 2026 by the Compensation Committee and Board from a list of approved objectives (significant objectives relating to the Company's bitcoin treasury reserve strategy and the implementation thereof, operational, financial and business targets and any additional significant objectives determined by the Compensation Committee and the Board as derived from the Company's annual work plan and strategy) and may also include discretionary components. The Compensation Committee and Board will determine with respect to 2026 the target and maximum annual cash bonus, as well as the related objectives and their related weights, including applicable thresholds, and the formula for calculating the annual cash bonus payment to be granted to Mr. Fried for 2026, all in accordance with the guidelines set forth below. The Compensation Committee and the Board believe that disclosure of the specific objectives set for the CEO 2026 Bonus Plan and their score, may adversely affect the Company, as such objectives are based on very sensitive business information of the Company and on its strategic plans.
The annual cash bonus amount that Mr. Fried will be entitled to upon achievement of 100% of his objectives, as shall be determined by the Compensation Committee and Board for 2026, i.e., his target annual cash bonus, will be up to 150% of his annual Base Salary (which for the purposes hereof, shall be the annual Assumed Base Salary, as detailed above). The annual cash bonus formula will include an overachievement opportunity designed to encourage Mr. Fried to reach exceptional achievements, pursuant to which the maximum payment with respect to 2026 shall be 200% of the target bonus determined by the Compensation Committee and the Board (i.e. 300% of the annual Base Salary). It is noted that the proposed CEO 2026 Bonus Plan sets a target annual bonus at up to 150% of the annual Base Salary, while the New Compensation Policy allows for 250% of the annual Base Salary (and 500% of the annual Base Salary in case of overachievement).
If less than 80% of the applicable measurable objectives set for 2026 are achieved, Mr. Fried will not be entitled to any annual cash bonus for 2026.
Mr. Fried shall be eligible to receive the annual cash bonus for 2026 under the framework set forth herein, subject to his continuous service as the Company's Chief Executive Officer through the last day of 2026.
The objectives and weights of the annual cash bonus of Mr. Fried for 2026 shall be determined in advance by the Compensation Committee and the Board, pursuant to the following guidelines:
| Weight | Objectives | |
|---|---|---|
| Measurable Objectives | 70%-100% | At least 2 of the following: financial results (GAAP or non-GAAP), strategic collaboration, strategic contracts, productivity indices and growth in the volume of activity, cost savings, efficiency metrics, execution of projects, promotion of strategic targets, promotion of innovation, employee evaluation surveys, regulatory and legal targets, success in raising capital, attainment of milestones, meeting the Company's budget, compliance with corporate governance rules and any additional significant targets determined by the Board, based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, derived from the Company's annual work plan and strategy. |
| Non-measurable Objectives | Up to 30% | Non-measurable or discretionary components |
The Compensation Committee and Board believe that the proposed targets for the CEO 2026 Bonus Plan and the maximum bonus payment reflect an appropriate level of cash compensation incentive for the Company's Chief Executive Officer, taking into account Mr. Fried's expertise, experience, value and importance to the Company and its future plans, success, growth and profitability. It also suitably links pay and performance and aligns Mr. Fried's interests with those of the Company and its shareholders.
The Compensation Committee and Board also carefully considered the nature of the Company's new business, the duties and responsibilities of the Company's Chief Executive Officer considering the size of the Company and the scope, complexity and nature of its operations and information regarding its strategic business transition process, in light of the Company's new business strategy, the challenges that the Company faces, the need to enhance the global competitiveness of the Company in retaining its Chief Executive Officer, market trends, including in situations where companies have undergone strategic business transitions, as well as other relevant information and materials that they deemed fit, and after analyzing all relevant factors and considerations required under the Companies Law, including the compensation provided to other executive Office Holders of the Company. , and have determined the proposed CEO 2026 Bonus Plan for Mr. Fried to be reasonable, appropriate and for the benefit of the Company, and recommend to the Company's shareholders to approve it.
Subject to receipt of shareholder approval for the CEO 2026 Bonus Plan, the Compensation Committee and Board will determine, subject to the terms herein, without the need for further shareholder approval, the actual annual cash bonus plan and payments to be paid, if any, to Mr. Fried for 2026.
The proposed CEO 2026 Bonus Plan is consistent with the New Compensation Policy, and while it is not consistent with the Current Compensation Policy, the Compensation Committee and Board do not view the Current Compensation Policy and caps included therein as suitable for the Company, as detailed in Proposal No. 1 above.
"RESOLVED, to approve (i) that the Assumed Base Salary shall be applied for all intents and purposes for calculating the applicable maximum amounts, caps, ratios etc. which are detailed in the New Compensation Policy and which are tied to Base Salary (as defined therein) with respect to any compensation which may be paid to Mr. Fried in his position as the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and (ii) that the CEO 2026 Bonus Plan for Mr. Fried, as detailed in Item No. 3 of the Proxy Statement, be, and hereby is, approved and adopted."
In accordance with applicable Israeli law, the approval of Item No. 3 on the agenda for the Meeting requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Ordinary Shares represented and voting on this item at the Meeting in person, by proxy or through the Electronic Voting System; provided that the Special Majority requirement is also satisfied, i.e. (i) the majority of the Ordinary Shares voted in favor of such items are not held by Interested Shareholders, not taking into account any abstentions, or that (ii) the total number of the shareholders mentioned in clause (i) above that voted against the proposal does not exceed two percent (2%) of the aggregate voting rights in the Company.
For the definition of Interested Shareholder, see the "Required Vote and Voting Procedures" section above.
Under Israeli law, with respect to Item No. 3, every voting shareholder is required to deliver a written notice to the Company stating whether such shareholder is an Interested Shareholder. To avoid confusion, each voting shareholder voting in person, by proxy (including by the voting instruction card) or through the Electronic Voting System, who has not delivered a written notice to the Company that he or she is an Interested Shareholder, will be deemed to confirm that such shareholder is NOT an Interested Shareholder.
If you think that you are an Interested Shareholder with respect to Item No. 3, please deliver a written notice to the Company's Chief Financial Officer, Ms. Ruth Smadja, by email at [email protected]. If your shares are held in "street name" by your broker, bank or other nominee and you are an Interested Shareholder, you should deliver a written notice to your broker, bank or other nominee of that status, and they in turn should notify the Company as described in the preceding sentence.
The Board recommends that the shareholders vote "FOR" the proposed resolution.
Under the Companies Law, any Israeli public company that seeks to approve terms of compensation of an Office Holder which are in excess to the limitations set forth in the company's compensation policy in effect, is required to obtain the approval of its compensation committee, board of directors and shareholders, in that order.
As detailed in Item No. 1 and Item No. 2 above, on July 29, 2025, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreements for the Private Placement as well as into additional related agreements and documents, which, upon closing, dramatically increased the Company's capital base and enabled it to launch its new cryptocurrency treasury reserve strategy, in connection with which the Company adopted bitcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset on an ongoing basis, subject to market conditions and its anticipated cash needs.
Following the closing of the Private Placement, the Compensation Committee and Board reviewed the Company's current directors' and officers' liability insurance policy (the "Current Insurance Policy") and its adequacy to the Company's new business strategy and the risks and uncertainties associated therewith and have determined that the Current Insurance Policy is not adequate for such new business strategy and risks and uncertainties, does not provide an appropriate coverage to the Company's Office Holders and therefore, unless the Company purchases an appropriate directors' and officers' liability insurance policy, this may deteriorate Office Holders from being engaged with the Company and may have an adverse effect on the Company's ability to attract and retain highly qualified directors and other Office Holders worldwide, which is essential for the Company's success. Therefore, the Compensation Committee and Board have approved, in their separate meetings held on October 15, 2025, the entry into a new directors' and officers' liability insurance policy (the "New Insurance Policy"), which the Compensation Committee and Board determined to be more reasonable, appropriate and for the benefit of the Company and its Officers, and hence also its shareholders, following the closing of the Private Placement and the transition in the Company's business strategy.
The New Insurance Policy is for a 12-month period (which may be extended to an 18-month period) and includes coverage in the amount of \$25,000,000 for the Company, its directors and other Office Holders (sides A, B and C) and additional coverage in the amount of \$15,000,000 for directors only (side A). The Company will pay an annual premium of approximately \$450,000 for the New Insurance Policy.
While the terms of the New Insurance Policy exceed the caps and limitations set forth in the Current Compensation Policy, which has been determined by the Compensation Committee and Board not to be suitable for a Nasdaq-listed company undergoing a substantial transition in its business strategy as further detailed in Item No. 1 above, they are in line with the New Compensation Policy.
When considering the New Insurance Policy, the Compensation Committee and the Board carefully considered the nature of the Company's new business, the duties and responsibilities of the Company's directors and other Office Holders considering the size of the Company and the scope, complexity and nature of its operations and information regarding its strategic business transition process, in light of the Company's new business strategy, the challenges that the Company faces, the need to enhance the global competitiveness of the Company in attracting and retaining highly qualified directors and other Office Holders worldwide and the importance of providing adequate insurance coverage to the Company's directors and other Office Holders, market trends, including in situations where companies have undergone strategic business transitions, as well as other relevant information and materials that they deemed fit, and analyzed all relevant factors and considerations required under the Companies Law.
After evaluating the considerations above, the Compensation Committee and Board determined in their separate meetings held on October 15, 2025 that the proposed terms of the New Insurance Policy are reasonable, appropriate and for the benefit of the Company, its Office Holders and shareholders.
"RESOLVED, that the Company's engagement in the New Insurance Policy, as detailed in Item No. 4 of the Proxy Statement, be, and hereby is, approved."
In accordance with applicable Israeli law, the approval of Item No. 4 on the agenda for the Meeting requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Ordinary Shares represented and voting on this item at the Meeting in person, by proxy or through the Electronic Voting System; provided that the Special Majority requirement is also satisfied, i.e. (i) the majority of the Ordinary Shares voted in favor of this Item No. 4 are not held by Interested Shareholders, not taking into account any abstentions, or that (ii) the total number of the shareholders mentioned in clause (i) above that voted against the proposal does not exceed two percent (2%) of the aggregate voting rights in the Company.
For the definition of Interested Shareholder, see the "Required Vote and Voting Procedures" section above.
Under Israeli law, with respect to Item No. 4, every voting shareholder is required to deliver a written notice to the Company stating whether such shareholder is an Interested Shareholder. To avoid confusion, each voting shareholder voting in person, by proxy (including by the voting instruction card) or through the Electronic Voting System, who has not delivered a written notice to the Company that he or she is an Interested Shareholder, will be deemed to confirm that such shareholder is NOT an Interested Shareholder.
If you think that you are an Interested Shareholder with respect to Item No. 4, please deliver a written notice to the Company's Chief Financial Officer, Ms. Ruth Smadja, by email at [email protected]. If your shares are held in "street name" by your broker, bank or other nominee and you are an Interested Shareholder, you should deliver a written notice to your broker, bank or other nominee of that status, and they in turn should notify the Company as described in the preceding sentence.
Notwithstanding, in accordance with the Relief Regulations, in the event that Item No. 1 is approved by our shareholders at the Meeting, the Compensation Committee will be authorized to approve the New Insurance Policy without the need for any additional approval.
The Board recommends that the shareholders vote "FOR" the proposed resolution.
The Articles provide that the number of directors may be no less than six and no more than nine (including external directors to the extent required to be appointed to the Board pursuant to the Companies Law, and independent directors).
Directors (excluding external directors, to the extent external directors are required to be elected and to serve on the Board pursuant to the requirements of the Companies Law), shall generally be classified, with respect to the term for which they each severally hold office, into three classes, as nearly equal in number as practicable, designated as Class I, Class II and Class III (each, a "Class"). The Board may assign members of the Board already in office to such Classes at the time such classification becomes effective.
In accordance with the Articles, the term of office of the initial Class I directors (i.e. the Class I directors who were appointed by our shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company's shareholders that took place on March 21, 2024) shall expire at the Annual Meeting (as defined in the Articles) to be held in 2025 and when their successors are elected and qualified. . At each Annual Meeting, commencing with the Annual Meeting to be held in 2025, each Nominee or Alternate Nominee (each such terms are defined in the Articles) elected at such Annual Meeting to serve as a director in a Class whose term shall have expired at such Annual Meeting shall be elected to hold office until the third Annual Meeting next succeeding his or her election and until his or her respective successor shall have been elected and qualified. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, each director shall serve until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until such earlier time as such director's office is vacated. Our initial Class I directors were Naama Zeldis and Christine Y. Zhao, and following the closing of the Private Placement and Mrs. Zeldis stepping down from service as a director, as detailed in Item No. 2, our only serving initial Class I director is Mrs. Zhao.
Following the recommendation of our Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee to the Board in accordance with Rule 5605(e) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules ("Nasdaq Listing Rules"), it is proposed that Mrs. Christine Y. Zhao be re-elected as a Class I director to hold office until the third Annual Meeting next succeeding her re-election and until her successor shall have been elected and qualified or until such earlier time as her office is vacated.
In accordance with Israeli law, a nominee for service as a director must submit a declaration to the Company, prior to his or her nomination, specifying that he or she has the requisite qualifications to serve as a director, and the ability to devote the appropriate time to performing his or her duties as such. Mrs. Zhao has declared in writing that she possesses the requisite skills and expertise, as well as sufficient time, to perform her duties as a director of the Company.
In addition, our Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee has classified Mrs. Zhao as "independent director," as defined under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. In accordance with the Alleviation Regulations (as it applies to companies whose shares are traded on certain foreign stock exchanges, including Nasdaq), pursuant to which, if a nominee for service as a director qualifies as independent in accordance with the law of the relevant foreign jurisdiction and does not have any affiliation with a "controlling shareholder" (as defined in the Companies Law) (which is not relevant in our case), the Audit Committee may classify him or her as independent in accordance with the Companies Law. Accordingly, our Audit Committee has classified Mrs. Zhao as independent in accordance with the Companies Law, as supplemented by the Relief Regulations, as well.
Furthermore, Mrs. Zhao currently serves on the Audit Committee and is classified as "independent" as such term is defined in Rule 10A-3(b) (1) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which provides additional qualification criteria to the general test for independence of board and committee members under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Additionally, she is financially literate under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq Listing Rules and is an audit committee financial expert, as defined by the SEC rules, and has the requisite financial experience required under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. In addition, pursuant to the Companies Law, the board of directors of a publicly traded company is required to make a determination as to the minimum number of directors who must have financial and accounting expertise according to criteria set forth under the Companies Law and regulations promulgated thereunder and based, among other things, on the type of company, its size, the volume and complexity of the company's activities and the number of directors. The Board has determined that the minimum number of directors with financial and accounting expertise is one. Currently, Mrs. Zhao qualifies as such.
The following is a brief biography of Mrs. Zhao, based upon information furnished to us by her:

The Companies Law and our Articles provide that an independent auditor of the Company shall be appointed at the annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company. The independent auditor shall serve in this position until immediately following the date of the next annual general meeting, or until such later time as determined at the annual general meeting, provided that the independent auditor shall serve no longer than until the end of the third annual general meeting after the annual general meeting in which such auditor was appointed. An independent auditor who has completed a period of appointment as aforesaid may be reappointed. The Company may appoint several independent auditors to conduct the audit jointly. In the event the position of an independent auditor has become vacant, and the Company does not have an additional independent auditor, the Board shall convene a special meeting of shareholders as soon as possible to appoint an independent auditor.

The Audit Committee's policy is to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, PwC. These services may include audit services, tax services and other consulting services. Additional services may be preapproved by the Audit Committee on an individual basis. Once services have been pre-approved, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm and management then report to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis regarding the extent of services actually provided in accordance with the applicable pre-approval, and regarding the fees for the services performed.
The following table presents the aggregate amounts of fees paid or to be paid by the Company to PwC for the services rendered in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024 (all amounts are in US\$, thousand):
| 2024 | 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Audit and audit related fees | 153 | 48 |
| Tax fees | 3 | 5 |
| All other fees | 0 | 218 |
| Total | 156 | 271 |
"Audit and audit related fees" are fees for professional services rendered by our principal accountant in connection with the integrated audit (including review of internal control over financial reporting) of our consolidated annual financial statements and review of our unaudited interim financial statements, as well as professional services rendered by our principal accountant in connection with the audit and other assignments, including consultancy, comfort letters and consents with respect to registration statements filed with the SEC;

By Order of the Board of Directors, /s/ Avi Cohen Avi Cohen Chairman of the Board of Directors Lod, Israel October 16, 2025
This 2025 Compensation Policy (the "Policy") constitutes the Compensation Policy of ZOOZ Strategy Ltd. (the "Company") with respect to the determination of Terms of Office of Office Holders. This Policy replaces the previous Compensation Policy of the Company in its entirety, subject to and following its approval by the Company's shareholders (or as otherwise provided by law).
2.11. Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Companies Law, unless the context requires otherwise. To the extent any provision herein conflicts with the conditions of any Applicable Law, the provisions of the Applicable Law shall prevail over this Policy and the Committee is empowered hereunder to interpret and enforce such prevailing provisions. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words 'include', 'includes' and 'including' shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase 'without limitation.' References to any law or regulation, rule or ordinance, including any section or other part thereof, shall refer to that as amended from time to time and shall include any successor law. The use of captions and titles in this Policy is for the convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning of any provision of this Policy.
2.12. Nothing in this Policy shall confer upon any person, including any Office Holder, any rights, entitlements, benefits or remedies whatsoever, including any right or entitlement to any compensation, remuneration or benefits of any kind or nature, or to terminate the service or employment of any Office Holder. The Terms of Office of an Office Holder shall only be as set in an agreement between such Office Holder and the Company or its Affiliates, a written undertaking of the Company or its Affiliates, or a resolution of the relevant organ of the Company or such Affiliate setting forth the Terms of Office and their applicability to the relevant Office Holder. No representation or warranty is made by the Company in adopting this Policy, and no custom or practice shall be inferred from this Policy or the implementation thereof, which is specific and applied on a case-by-case basis.
The Terms of Office established pursuant to this Policy will be determined based on various considerations including:
4.2. Creating Appropriate Incentives to the Company's Office Holders. The Company believes that the Terms of Office should reflect a balance between short-term and long-term achievements, between personal performance of an Office Holder and performance of the Company or specific divisions or regions of the Company, and between past performance and future performance and take into account the Company's risk management and various other considerations that are appropriate in each individual case. Moreover, the Company believes that the Terms of Office of each Office Holder are both a reflection of the Company's general policies and the individual circumstances relating to the hiring and retention of such Office Holder, and, therefore, there ought to be variations between the Terms of Office among Office Holders.
4.3. The Size of the Company and the Nature of its Operations. As of the date of the approval of this Policy, the Company is involved primarily in the business of bitcoin treasury reserve, and is involved in various geographic regions and target markets. In addition, the Company operates in an environment and markets that are dynamic and are continuously in flux offering multiple and different challenges. Accordingly, appropriate attention will be given to the particular circumstances and challenges of such Office Holder in determining his/her Terms of Office.
When examining and approving Terms of Office of an Office Holder, the following will be considered, in addition to the principles, philosophies and objectives mentioned above:
5.13. If the Terms of Office include variable components, the inclusion of threshold and capped payout levels, provisions reducing variable components in certain circumstances, and setting a limit to the value of an equity variable component upon its exercise, all at the Committee's discretion.
5.14. If the Terms of Office include termination benefits, the term of office or engagement of the Office Holder, the Terms of Office during such period, the performance of the Company (or the applicable Affiliate or division) during such period, the Office Holder's contribution towards the Company's achievement of its goals and maximizing its financial results, and the circumstances of termination.
The Terms of Office of an Executive may include a combination of all or any part of the following components, in each instance, considering which components are appropriate and their respective weight.

|---|---|
| Chief Executive Officer | 150% of: (i) the annual Base Salary, plus (ii) 100% of the applicable annual cash |

In the event of a merger of the Company (a merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or shares) or a change of control in the Company or an event of a material investment in the Company (the "materiality" of an investment will be determined by the Board) or sale or grant of an exclusive license for the majority of the Company's intellectual property (each such event, a "Material Transaction"), the following benefits may be granted to an Executive in addition to the benefits applicable in the case of any retirement or termination:
6.5.1.6. In the event the employment of an Executive commenced or terminated mid-year, the Board, based on the recommendation and approval of the Committee, may determine to pay the Executive a prorated portion of the Executive's Annual Bonus.
6.5.1.7. To the extent applicable in special circumstances, the Bonus Plan may be revisited by the Board, based on the recommendation and approval of the Committee, during the mid-year review period, the annual performance period or following a material corporate event, which may include among others a Material Transaction, including in order to account for changes in an Executive's roles and responsibilities, recruitments and promotions during such year, significant changes in the Company's operations, business or market terms or other material changes applicable to the Company.

7.3.2.4. Equity awards granted under this Section 7.3.2 shall be granted pursuant to the Company's equity-based incentive plan and any sub-plan thereof, as may be from time to time, subject to availability thereunder and generally on the terms provided for therein. To the extent legally available and applicable, equity-based awards to Directors who are subject to Israeli taxation will be granted through a trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 102 of the Ordinance, under the capital gains route.
7.3.2.5. In no event shall any equity award granted under this Section 7.3.2 cause the Dilution Cap to be exceeded.
9.1. An Office Holder will be required to return any compensation paid to him or her, that was paid on the basis of data included in the Company's financial statements, which turned out to be erroneous and was restated in the Company's financial statements on or before the third year following the date on which the original financial statements were published, to the extent the compensation paid exceeds the compensation that would otherwise have been paid had the restated data been available at the time compensation based on such data was originally calculated. Such amount(s) shall be repaid by the relevant Office Holder within the period determined by the Board, which will be no longer than six (6) months (subject to the possibility of extending the period by up to six (6) more months if the returned amount is higher than thirty percent (30%) of the Office Holder's Base Salary).
