    QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
    ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND VOTING

    Why am I receiving these materials?

    We sent you this proxy statement and the Annual Report, as well as the enclosed proxy card, because our Board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting. You are invited to attend the Annual Meeting to vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement. The Annual Meeting will be held on August 19, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) at Proskauer Rose LLP, One Boca Place, 2255 Glades Road, Suite 421 Atrium, Boca Raton, FL 33431-7360, United States. You do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may simply complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy card.

    Website addresses included in this proxy statement are textual references only, and the information in any website is not incorporated by reference into this proxy statement.

    Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?

    Only stockholders of record at the close of business on July 3, 2025, will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

    Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

    If as at the close of business on July 3, 2025, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, then you are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to fill out and return the enclosed proxy card to ensure your vote is counted.

    Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Bank or Other Similar Organization

    If as at the close of business on July 3, 2025, your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account or its agent is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent.

    What am I voting on?

    The matters scheduled for a vote at the Annual Meeting are:

    1.      the re-election of seven directors of the Company to hold office until our next annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors shall be elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal;

    2.      the ratification of the appointment of the Independent Auditors, as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the 2025 fiscal year; and

    3.      The consideration and approval of an amendment to the Company’s 2019 Plan.

    Our Board unanimously recommends that you vote FOR all of the above proposals.

    1

    How do I vote?

    The procedures for voting are as follows:

    Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

    If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting, or vote by proxy using the enclosed proxy card. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person if you have already voted by proxy.

    •        To vote in person, come to the Annual Meeting, where a ballot will be made available to you. Directions to attend the Annual Meeting where you may vote in person can be found at: https://www.oramed.com/investors/governance-documents/annual-shareholder-meeting.

    •        To vote using the proxy card, simply complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it promptly in the envelope provided. If you return your signed proxy card to us no less than 24 hours before the Annual Meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct. The chairman of the Annual Meeting may, at his or her discretion, decide to accept proxy cards even if received less than 24 hours before the Annual Meeting.

    Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker, Bank or Other Similar Organization

    If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you should have received a proxy card and voting instructions with these proxy materials from that organization rather than from us. Simply complete and mail the proxy card to ensure that your vote is counted. Alternatively, you may vote by telephone or over the Internet as instructed by your broker, bank or other agent, provided that your broker, bank or other agent makes telephone or Internet voting available. To vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or other agent. Follow the instructions from your broker, bank or other agent included with these proxy materials, or contact your broker, bank or other agent to request a proxy form.

    How many votes do I have?

    You have one vote for each share of common stock you own as of the close of business on July 3, 2025.

    What if I return a proxy card but do not make specific choices?

    If you return a signed and dated proxy card without marking any voting selections, your shares will be voted “FOR” with respect to Proposals 1, 2 and 3. If any other matter is properly presented at the Annual Meeting, your proxy (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares using his or her best judgment.

    If your shares are held by your broker as your nominee (that is, in “street name”), you will need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds your shares and follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to instruct your broker to vote your shares. If you do not give instructions to your broker, your broker can vote your shares with respect to “discretionary” items, but not with respect to “non-discretionary” items. Discretionary items are proposals considered “routine” under applicable rules on which your broker may vote shares held in street name in the absence of your voting instructions. On non-discretionary items for which you do not give your broker instructions, the shares will be treated as “broker non-votes.” We believe that each of Proposals 1 and 3 is considered a non-discretionary item and Proposal 2 is considered a discretionary item.

    Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

    We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these mailed proxy materials, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. Directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

    2

    What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

    If you receive more than one proxy card, your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. Please complete, sign and return each proxy card to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

    Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?

    Yes. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are the record holder of your shares, you may revoke your proxy in any one of three ways:

    •        You may submit another properly completed proxy card with a later date;

    •        You may send a written notice that you are revoking your proxy to our Secretary at 1185 Avenue of the Americas, Third Floor, New York, New York 10036; or

    •        You may attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. Simply attending the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.

    If your shares are held by your broker, bank or other agent, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other agent.

    How are votes counted?

    Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately count “For,” “Against” and “Abstain” with respect to Proposals 1, 2 and 3.

    How many votes are needed to approve each proposal?

    The approvals of Proposals 1, 2, and 3 each require the vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter. For Proposal 1, in a contested election, a director nominee shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote at the election on such election of directors (an election shall be considered contested if, as of the last date on which nominees for director may be submitted in accordance with our Amended and Restated By-laws, the nominees for election to our Board exceed the number of positions on the Board to be filled by election at that meeting).

    Votes cast shall include votes “for” and votes “against” and exclude “abstentions” and “broker non-votes” with respect to the subject matter. Broker non-votes will not be counted as entitled to be voted (other than for the purpose of establishing a quorum, as discussed in the following paragraph), and will therefore not affect the outcome of Proposals 1 and 3 (as noted above, because Proposal 2 is considered a discretionary item, there will not be broker non-votes with respect to this Proposal).

    What is the quorum requirement?

    The holders of at least one third (1/3) of the common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on the subject matter, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting for the transaction of business. As of July 3, 2025, there were 40,845,087 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other agent) or if you vote in person at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. If there is no quorum, the stockholders entitled to vote on the subject matter, present in person or by proxy, have the power to adjourn the Annual Meeting, without notice other than announcement at the Annual Meeting. At such adjourned Annual Meeting at which the requisite amount of voting stock shall be represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the Annual Meeting as originally notified.

    How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?

    Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. Final voting results will be reported in a current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within four business days after the Annual Meeting.

    SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF
    CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

    The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of July 3, 2025 by: (1) each person who is known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our common stock; (2) each of our current directors (each of whom is a director nominee) (a “Director Nominee”); (3) each of our Named Executive Officers listed below under “Compensation of Executive Officers and Directors — Summary Compensation Table”; and (4) all of our directors and executive officers as a group. On such date, we had 40,845,087 shares of common stock outstanding.

    As used in the table below and elsewhere in this form, the term “beneficial ownership” with respect to a security consists of sole or shared voting power, including the power to vote or direct the vote, and/or sole or shared investment power, including the power to dispose or direct the disposition, with respect to the security through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, including a right to acquire such power(s) during the 60 days following July 3, 2025. Inclusion of shares in the table does not, however, constitute an admission that the named stockholder is a direct or indirect beneficial owner of those shares. Unless otherwise indicated, (1) each person or entity named in the table has sole voting power and investment power (or shares that power with that person’s spouse) with respect to all shares of common stock listed as owned by that person or entity and (2) the address of each of the individuals named below is: c/o Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc., 1185 Avenue of the Americas, Third Floor, New York, New York 10036.

    PROPOSAL 1:
    RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

    The number of directors comprising our Board is currently set at seven and our Board is presently composed of seven members. Upon the recommendation of our Board and our nominating committee, the Board has nominated for re-election the current directors, who are listed below along with additional information about each of them. The number of directors comprising our Board following the Annual Meeting will be set at seven. Vacancies on our Board may be filled by persons elected by a majority of our remaining directors. A director elected by our Board to fill a vacancy (including any vacancy created by an increase in the number of directors) shall serve until the next meeting of stockholders at which the election of directors is considered and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier resignation or removal, but in no case will a decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board shorten the term of any incumbent director.

    Each Director Nominee is currently a director of the Company. If re-elected at the Annual Meeting, each of the Director Nominees below would serve until our next Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his or her successor is elected and has qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

    Vote Required

    The approval of Proposal 1 requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter.

    In a contested election, a director nominee shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote at the election on such election of directors (an election shall be considered contested if, as of the last date on which nominees for director may be submitted in accordance with our Amended and Restated By-laws, the nominees for election to our Board exceed the number of positions on the Board to be filled by election at that meeting).

    The Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” all of the nominees listed below.

    Board of Directors

    There are no agreements with respect to the election of directors. Each director is currently elected for a period of one year at our annual meeting of stockholders and serves until the next such meeting and until his or her successor is duly elected or until his or her earlier resignation or removal. The Board may also appoint additional directors. A director so chosen or appointed will hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal.

    The Board has determined that Dr. Daniel Aghion, Dr. Arie Mayer, Yehuda Reznick, Leonard Sank and Benjamin Shapiro are independent as defined under the rules promulgated by the Nasdaq. Except for Dr. Arie Mayer and Yehuda Reznick, each of whom serves on the Board of Directors of Oravax Medical Inc. (“Oravax”), a company 63% owned by us, none of the independent directors has any relationship with us besides serving on our Board.

    We have determined that each of the directors is qualified to serve as a director of the Company based on a review of the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills of each director. In reaching this determination, we have considered a variety of criteria, including, among other things: character and integrity; ability to review critically, evaluate, question and discuss information provided, to exercise effective business judgment and to interact effectively with the other directors; and willingness and ability to commit the time necessary to perform the duties of a director.

    Board Meeting Attendance

    During Fiscal 2024, our Board held six meetings and took action by written consent on nine occasions. Except Mr. Benjamin Shapiro, all of our directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and the committees that were held during the period such director served on the Board. Board members are encouraged to attend our annual meetings of stockholders.

    Board Evaluation Process

    Our Board is committed to continuous improvement and conducts a board and committee evaluation process each year, to ensure that our Board maintains optimal composition and functions effectively.

    As part of this process, the members of our Board complete a confidential written assessment of the performance, oversight and composition of the Board and its committees that is submitted to the Company secretary. The results are then reported back to the full Board. After the evaluations, the Board and management work to improve upon any issues presented during the evaluation process and to identify opportunities that may lead to further improvement.

    10

    Director Nominations

    The Nominating Committee is responsible for developing and approving criteria, subject to our Board approval, for candidates for Board membership. The Nominating Committee is responsible for overseeing the compensation and size of our Board, developing qualification criteria for Board members and actively seeking, interviewing and screening individuals qualified to become Board members for recommendation to the Board and for recommending the composition of the Board for each of the Company’s annual meetings. Our Board as a whole is responsible for nominating individuals for election to the Board by the stockholders and for filling vacancies on the Board that may occur between annual meetings of stockholders.

    Director nominees will be selected on the basis of their integrity, business acumen, knowledge of our business and industry, age, experience, diligence, conflicts of interest and the ability to act in the interests of all stockholders. No particular criteria will be a prerequisite or will be assigned a specific weight, nor does the Company have a diversity policy. The Company believes that the backgrounds and qualifications of its directors, considered as a group, should provide a composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will allow the Board to fulfill its responsibilities.

    The Company has never received communications from stockholders nominating individuals for appointment to our Board. Therefore, we do not yet have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by stockholders. During Fiscal 2024, we did not pay a fee to any third party to identify or evaluate, or assist in identifying or evaluating, potential nominees to our Board. All of the Director Nominees for election at the Annual Meeting are current members of our Board.

    Investment Committee

    Our Board formed an Investment Committee in 2025. The members of our Investment Committee are Daniel Aghion and Yehuda Reznick. The Investment Committee does not operate under a written charter. The primary responsibilities of our Investment Committee include:

    •        Overseeing our investment strategy and portfolio management;

    •        Reviewing and recommending investment policies, asset allocations, and investment decisions;

    •        Monitoring and evaluating the performance of investments and assess risk;

    •        Reviewing regular reports and recommendations to the Board on the status and performance of our investments;

    •        Approving major investment decisions, including acquisitions, divestitures, and large-scale investment; and

    •        Monitoring our investments and considering the implications of our investments and proposed investments under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) to ensure our compliance with the 1940 Act.

    Code of Ethics

    We have adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct for our senior officers, directors and employees. A copy of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct is located at our website at www.oramed.com. We intend to satisfy the disclosure requirement regarding any amendment to, or a waiver from, a provision of the Code of Ethics that applies to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions and that relates to the Code of Ethics by posting such information on our website, www.oramed.com.

    Insider Trading Policy

    We have adopted an insider trading policy (the “Policy”), governing the purchase, sale and other transactions in our securities that applies to our directors, officers, employees, including part-time and temporary employees, and other covered persons, including immediate family members and entities controlled by any of the foregoing persons, as well as by the Company itself.

    11

    The Policy prohibits, among other things, insider trading and certain speculative transactions in our securities (including short sales, buying put and selling call options and other hedging or derivative transactions in our securities) and establishes a regular blackout period schedule during which directors, executive officers, employees, and other covered persons may not trade in the Company’s securities, as well as certain pre-clearance procedures that directors and executive officers must observe prior to effecting any transaction in our securities.

    We believe that the Policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and listing standards applicable to the Company. A copy of the Policy is filed as Exhibit 19.1 to the Annual Report.

    Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

    Mr. Nadav Kidron serves as our President, Chief Executive Officer and, effective as of June 30, 2022, as Chairman of our Board. We believe that this leadership structure is appropriate to our Company given the current circumstances, including the size and operations of the Company.

    The Board does not have a formal policy on whether the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer should be combined or separated. The Board believes that a leadership structure that separates the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, fosters effective governance and oversight of the Company. The Chairman is responsible for advising the Chief Executive Officer and presiding over meetings of the Board and consulting with the Chief Executive Officer on Board meeting agendas. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for setting the Company’s strategy and leading the Company’s day to day performance. We believe this governance structure promotes balance between the authority of those who oversee our business and those who manage it on a day to day basis. However, the Board also believes that the Company’s stockholders are best served by the Board having flexibility to consider the relevant facts and circumstances and determine, at the time of the Chairman’s election, the best leadership structure for the Company rather than by adhering to a formal standing policy on the subject. In light of the departure of the former Chairman from the Board following the 2022 annual meeting, the Board determined to combine the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer with Mr. Kidron until such time as it determines to nominate a new independent Chairman.

    The role of our Board and each of our committees, as appropriate, in risk oversight includes risk analysis and assessment in connection with each financial and business review, update and decision-making proposal and is an integral part of all Board deliberations. Each of our Board Committees is focused on specific risks within their areas of responsibility, but the Board believes that the overall enterprise risk management process is more properly overseen by all of the members of the Board. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of financial and accounting risks. The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to executive compensation plans and arrangements. The Nominating Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of governance risks.

    The Board’s role in our risk oversight is consistent with our leadership structure, with our President and Chief Executive Officer and other members of senior management having responsibility for assessing and managing our risk exposure, and the Board providing oversight in connection with those efforts.

    Attendance at Special and Annual Stockholders’ Meetings

    We encourage our directors to attend our special and annual stockholders’ meetings. Dr. Miriam Kidron, our Chief Scientific Officer and director, attended our last annual stockholders’ meeting.

    Stockholder Communications

    Although we have not adopted a formal process for stockholder communications with our Board, we believe stockholders should have the ability to communicate directly with the Board so that their views can be heard by the Board or individual directors, as applicable, and that appropriate and timely responses are provided to stockholders. All communications regarding general matters should be directed to the Secretary of the Company at the address

    12

    below and should prominently indicate on the outside of the envelope that it is intended for the complete Board or for any particular director(s). If no designation is made, the communication will be forwarded to the entire Board. Stockholder communications to the Board should be sent to:

    New York, New York 10036

    Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

    During Fiscal 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, except for compensation arrangements described elsewhere herein, we did not participate in any transaction, and we are not currently participating in any proposed transaction, or series of transactions, in which the amount involved exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which, to our knowledge, any of our directors, officers, five percent beneficial security holders, or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons had, or will have, a direct or indirect material interest.

    On April 24, 2025, our subsidiary, Oramed Ltd., entered into a share purchase agreement with Alpha Tau Medical Ltd. (“Alpha Tau”), pursuant to which Oramed Ltd. purchased 14,110,121 ordinary shares, no par value per share, of Alpha Tau in a registered direct offering at a price of $2.612 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $36,900,000. The closing of the transaction occurred on April 28, 2025. In connection with the investment, Oramed Ltd. has the right to nominate two directors to Alpha Tau’s board of directors, subject to certain conditions. Pursuant to this right, on May 12, 2025, we designated Nadav Kidron to serve as one of these two directors. Mr. Kidron will receive compensation from Alpha Tau for his service as a director in accordance with Alpha Tau’s director compensation policy applicable to independent directors. Concurrently, Oramed Ltd. and Alpha Tau entered into a strategic investor relations and public relations services agreement, pursuant to which Oramed Ltd. will provide Alpha Tau with investor relations and public relations services. As consideration, Alpha Tau agreed to pay Oramed Ltd. a non-refundable fee of $3,000,000 over three years and to issue to Oramed Ltd. warrants to purchase up to 3,237,000 ordinary shares of Alpha Tau at exercise prices ranging from $3.474 to $3.90 per share, subject to shareholder approval. The term of the services agreement is three years, with limited termination rights.

    Our policy is to enter into transactions with related persons on terms that, on the whole, are no less favorable than those available from unaffiliated third parties. Based on our experience in the business sectors in which we operate and the terms of our transactions with unaffiliated third parties, we believe that all of the transactions described below met this policy standard at the time they occurred. All related person transactions are approved by our Board.

    REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

    In the course of our oversight of the Company’s financial reporting process, we have: (1) reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for Fiscal 2024 with management; (2) discussed with the Independent Auditors the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the Commission; (3) received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the standards of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent accountant the independent accountant’s independence; (4) discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence; and (5) considered whether the provision of non-audit services by the independent registered public accounting firm is compatible with maintaining its independence and concluded that it is compatible at this time.

    Based on the foregoing review and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2024 for filing with the SEC.

    COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

    Compensation Discussion and Analysis

    This section explains the policies and decisions that shape our executive compensation program, including its specific objectives and elements, as it relates to our “named executive officers” (“NEOs”).

    Our NEOs for Fiscal 2024 are those three individuals listed in the “Summary Compensation Table” below. The Compensation Committee believes that our executive compensation is appropriately designed to incentivize our NEOs to work for our long-term prosperity, is reasonable in comparison with the levels of compensation provided by comparable companies and reflects a reasonable cost. We believe our NEOs are critical to the achievement of our corporate goals, through which we can drive stockholder value.

    The Compensation Committee of our Board is comprised solely of independent directors as defined by Nasdaq and non-employee directors as defined by Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Compensation Committee has the authority and responsibility to review and approve the compensation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers. Other information concerning the structure, roles and responsibilities of our Compensation Committee is set forth in “Board Meetings and Committees — Compensation Committee” section.

    Our executive compensation program and our NEOs’ compensation packages are designed around the following objectives:

    •        attract, hire, and retain talented and experienced executives;

    •        motivate, reward and retain executives whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical to our success;

    •        ensure fairness among the executive management team via recognizing the contributions of each executive to our success;

    •        focus executive behavior on achievement of our corporate objectives and strategy; and

    •        align the interests of management and stockholders by providing management with longer-term incentives through equity ownership.

    The Compensation Committee reviews the allocation of compensation components regularly to ensure alignment with strategic and operating goals, competitive market practices and legislative changes. The Compensation Committee does not apply a specific formula to determine the allocation between cash and non-cash forms of compensation. Certain compensation components, such as base salaries, benefits and perquisites, are intended primarily to attract, hire, and retain well-qualified executives. Other compensation elements, such as long-term incentive opportunities, are designed to motivate and reward performance. Long-term incentives are intended to reward NEOs for our long-term performance and executing our business strategy, and to strongly align NEOs’ interests with those of stockholders.

    With respect to equity compensation, the Compensation Committee makes awards to executives under our 2019 Plan. Executive compensation is paid or granted based on such matters as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate, including our financial and operating performance and the alignment of the interests of the executive officers and our stockholders.

    Elements of Compensation

    Our executive officer compensation program is comprised of: (i) base salary or monthly compensation; (ii) discretionary bonus; (iii) long-term equity incentive compensation in the form of stock option and RSU grants; and (iv) benefits and perquisites.

    In establishing overall executive compensation levels and making specific compensation decisions for our NEOs in Fiscal 2024, the Compensation Committee considered a number of criteria, including the executive’s position, scope of responsibilities, prior base salary and annual incentive awards and expected contribution.

    15

    Generally, our Compensation Committee reviews and, as appropriate, approves compensation arrangements for the NEOs from time to time but not less than once each year. The Compensation Committee also takes into consideration the President and Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations for executive compensation of the other NEOs. The President and Chief Executive Officer generally presents these recommendations at the time of our Compensation Committee’s review of executive compensation arrangements.

    During Fiscal 2024, the Compensation Committee received consulting services from Aon Solutions UK Limited. (“Aon”) with regard to management compensation. The Compensation Committee engaged the consultant to review the Company’s current compensation plans for its management and collect and analyze data regarding management compensation at other companies comparable to the Company, in order to provide a competitive compensation benchmark. Aon collected SEC filings data regarding U.S. and Israeli compensation practices and developed a peer group of the following U.S. and Israeli companies: ALX Oncology Holdings Inc., AN2 Therapeutics, Inc., Anavex Life Sciences Corp., Atossa Therapeutics Inc., aTyr Pharma, Inc., Chimerix, Inc., Compugen Ltd., Fulcrum Therapeutics, Inc., Immunic, Inc., Marinus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., MediciNova, Inc., Pluri Biotech Ltd., Rani Therapeutics, Inc., Relmada Therapeutics, Inc., Rezolute, Inc., Vistagen Therapeutics, Inc., vTv Therapeutics Inc. and Zevra Therapeutics, Inc. Following its review, Aon provided recommendations for cash and equity compensation at various percentiles for the Compensation Committee’s consideration.

    Base Salary

    The Compensation Committee performs a review of base salaries and monthly compensation for our NEOs from time to time as appropriate. In determining salaries, the Compensation Committee members also take into consideration the scope of the NEOs’ responsibilities and independent third-party market data, such as compensation surveys to industry, individual experience and performance and contribution to our clinical, regulatory, commercial and operational performance. None of the factors above has a dominant weight in determining the compensation of our NEOs, and our Compensation Committee considers the factors as a whole when considering such compensation. In addition, our Compensation Committee uses comparative data regarding compensation paid by peer companies in order to obtain a general understanding of current trends in compensation practices and ranges of amounts being awarded by other public companies, and not as part of an analysis or a formula.

    We believe that a competitive base salary and monthly compensation is a necessary element of any compensation program that is designed to attract and retain talented and experienced executives. We also believe that attractive base salaries can motivate and reward executives for their overall performance. Base salary and monthly compensation are established in part based on the individual experience, skills and expected contributions to our performance, as well as such executive’s performance during the prior year. Generally, we believe that executives’ base salaries should be targeted near the median of the range of salaries for executives in similar positions with similar responsibilities, experience and performance at comparable companies. Compensation adjustments are made occasionally based on changes in an executive’s level of responsibility, company progress or on changed local and specific executive employment market conditions.

    In Fiscal 2024, our Compensation Committee increased the base salary of our NEOs by 15% (effective July 1, 2024) as it deemed this to be a reasonable rate based on, among other factors, such NEO’s responsibilities and the report from Aon, as it determined the salaries were not in line with market compensation.

    Performance Based Bonus

    Our NEOs are eligible to receive discretionary annual bonuses based upon performance. The amount of annual bonus to our NEOs is based on various factors, including, among others, the achievement of scientific and business goals and our financial and operational performance. The Compensation Committee takes into account the overall performance of the individuals, as well as the overall performance of the Company over the period being reviewed and the recommendation of management. For any given year, the compensation objectives vary, but relate generally to strategic factors such as developments in our clinical path, the execution of a license agreement for the commercialization of product candidates, the establishment of key strategic collaborations, the build-up of our pipeline and financial factors such as capital raising. Bonuses are awarded generally based on corporate performance, with adjustments made within a range for individual performance, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee determines, on a discretionary basis, the size of the entire bonus pool and the amount of the actual award to each NEO. The overall payment is also based on historic compensation of the NEOs.

    16

    We believe that annual bonuses payable based on the achievement of short-term corporate goals incentivize our NEOs to create stockholder value and attain short-term performance objectives.

    Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation

    Long-term incentive compensation allows the NEOs to share in any appreciation in the value of our common stock. The Compensation Committee believes that stock participation aligns executive officers’ interests with those of our stockholders. Equity incentive awards are generally made at the commencement of employment and following a significant change in job responsibilities, or to meet other special retention or performance objectives. The amounts of the awards are designed to reward past performance and create incentives to meet long-term objectives. Awards are made at a level expected to be competitive within the biotechnology industry, as well as with Israeli-based companies. Awards are made on a discretionary basis and not pursuant to specific criteria set out in advance. In determining the amount of each grant, the Compensation Committee also takes into account the number of shares held by the executive prior to the grant. The vesting schedule for NEOs generally provides for annual installments for new grants, though the Compensation Committee also utilizes quarterly vesting from time to time, as well as performance-based vesting. The Compensation Committee believes that time-based vesting encourages recipients to build stockholder value over a long period of time and that performance-based vesting encourages recipients to achieve goals that benefit the Company.

    As part of its engagement in Fiscal 2024 described above, Aon also provided consulting services in connection with grants of equity awards to our executive officers. Aon reviewed annual long-term incentive grants at peer companies, as well as such grants made by companies in the broader market, based on a blend of Black-Scholes valuations and grants as a percentage of the applicable company’s capitalization. Following such consultation, the Compensation Committee is considering alternative models and equity vehicles for future equity-based grants.

    Benefits and Perquisites

    Generally, benefits available to NEOs are available to all employees on similar terms and include welfare benefits, paid time-off, life and disability insurance and other customary or mandatory social benefits in Israel. We provide some of our NEOs with a phone and a company car, which are customary benefits in Israel to managers and officers.

    We do not believe that the benefits and perquisites described above deviate materially from the customary practice for compensation of executive officers by other companies similar in size and stage of development in Israel. These benefits represent a relatively small portion of the executive officers’ total compensation.

    Say-on-Pay Vote

    Our stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, our executive compensation program at our annual meeting of stockholders held on August 1, 2024. Over 90% of votes cast were voted “for” the compensation of our named executive officers as described in the proxy statement for last year’s annual meeting of stockholders. The Compensation Committee did not specifically rely on the results of the prior vote in making any compensation-related decisions during Fiscal 2024.

In the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement of its financial statements due to the Company’s material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, the Compensation Committee will require prompt reimbursement or forfeiture of any excess incentive compensation (as defined in the clawback policy) received by any covered executive officer during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement.

    (2)      The amounts reflect the grant date fair value, as calculated pursuant to ASC 718, of these option awards. The assumptions used to determine the fair value of the option awards are set forth in note 10 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report. Our directors will not realize the value of these awards in cash unless and until these awards are exercised and the underlying shares subsequently sold.

    (3)      Mr. Reznik joined the Board effective on April 1, 2024.

    (4)      Includes 15,398 option awards granted by Oravax for Dr. Mayer’s service as a member of the Board of Directors of Oravax.

    (5)      Mr. Rozov resigned from the Board on January 17, 2024 and forfeited his unvested RSUs and Options.

    (6)      Mr. Aghion joined the Board on January 1, 2024.

    Our directors are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of our Board. Based on a report provided to the Compensation Committee by Aon in 2023, effective as of January 1, 2024, each independent director is entitled to receive as remuneration for his or her service as a member of the Board a sum equal to $30,000 and a grant of 5,070 RSUs per annum. The Chairman of our Board is entitled to receive an additional sum equal to $25,500, other than if the Chairman is an executive officer. The members of our Audit Committee are each entitled to receive an additional sum equal to $6,000 and a grant of 2,230 RSUs. The members of our Compensation Committee are each entitled to receive an additional sum equal to $4,500 and a grant of 1,520 RSUs. The members of our Nominating Committee are each entitled to receive an additional sum equal to $4,000 and a grant of 505 RSUs. All cash remuneration is to be paid quarterly after the close of each quarter. The RSUs vest on April 1, July 1, October 1 and January 1 of each year, subject to Compensation Committee approval each year. Our executive officers did not receive additional compensation for service as directors. The Board may award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on behalf of us other than services ordinarily required of a director.

    On January 2, 2025, the Compensation Committee approved that in addition to the current annual compensation for the board members, a flat cash fee of $500 per meeting will be paid to each director for attendance at every meeting beyond six meetings per year, and an additional $2,000 in cash will be paid to each director per meeting of over three hours which he or she attends, regardless of the number of meetings.

    25

    Other than as described above, we have no present formal plan for compensating our directors for their service in their capacity as directors. Other than indicated above, no director received and/or accrued any compensation for his services as a director, including committee participation and/or special assignments during the year ended December 31, 2024. In addition, during 2024 the directors were granted an aggregate of 142,500 RSUs that will vest in three equal annual installments starting January 1, 2025.

    The Company’s Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Nonpublic Information

    We do not have any formal policy that requires the Company to grant, or avoid granting, equity-based compensation at certain times. We do not grant equity awards in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information that is likely to result in changes to the price of our common stock, and do not time the public release of such information based on award grant dates. The timing of any equity grants to executive officers or directors in connection with new hires, promotions, or other non-routine grants is tied to the event giving rise to the award (such as an executive officer’s commencement of employment or promotion effective date).

    During the year ended December 31, 2024, there were no equity grants made to our executive officers during any period beginning four business days before the filing of a periodic report or current report disclosing material non-public information and ending one business day after the filing or furnishing of such report with the SEC.

    PROPOSAL 3:
    AMENDMENT TO INCENTIVE PLAN

    At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders will be asked to approve an amendment to our 2019 Plan (the “Plan Amendment”), in order to increase the aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2019 Plan by 2,000,000 shares to 9,500,000 shares of common stock, assuming that Proposal 3 is approved. Currently, 7,500,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the 2019 Plan. As of July 3, 2025, there were 632,867 shares available for future award grants under the 2019 Plan and options to acquire 4,291,485 shares of common stock were outstanding under the 2019 Plan.

    The proposed Plan Amendment is set out in Appendix A to this proxy statement. The text of the proposed Plan Amendment is subject to modification to include such changes as the Board deems necessary and advisable to affect the increase in the number of shares of common stock reserved and available for issuance under the 2019 Plan.

    Our Board, the Compensation Committee and management believe that the effective use of stock-based long-term incentive compensation is vital to our ability to achieve strong performance in the future. In addition, our future success depends, in large part, upon our ability to maintain a competitive position in attracting, retaining and motivating key personnel. We believe that the Plan Amendment is essential to permit our management to continue to provide long-term, equity-based incentives to present and future key employees, consultants and directors.

    Material Features of the 2019 Plan

    The following description of certain material features of the 2019 Plan is intended to be a summary only. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 2019 Plan.

    Shares Available.    The maximum number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2019 Plan following the Plan Amendment will be 9,500,000 shares of common stock, which is an increase of 2,000,000 shares from the number of shares currently authorized for issuance under the 2019 Plan. Other than in the case of options intended to qualify as incentive stock options (“ISOs”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the shares underlying any awards that are forfeited, canceled or expired (whether voluntarily or involuntarily) under the 2019 Plan will be added back to the shares authorized for issuance under the 2019 Plan. Shares that actually have been issued under the 2019 Plan pursuant to an award will not be available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan, except that if unvested shares are forfeited, or repurchased by the Company at the lower of their original purchase price or their fair market value at the time of repurchase, such shares shall become available for future grant under the 2019 Plan. To the extent not prohibited by the listing requirements of Nasdaq and applicable law, shares surrendered upon exercise or purchase of award (including pursuant to a net exercise) or to satisfy tax withholding obligations will be added back to the shares authorized for issuance under the 2019 Plan, unless otherwise determined by the administrator. In no event will ISOs be issued under the 2019 Plan following the Plan Amendment with respect to more than 9,500,000 shares, adjusted as described below.

    Types of Awards.    The 2019 Plan permits the issuance of equity-based awards, including options (including stock options that qualify under Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance (New Version) 1961 (the “Tax Ordinance”), stock options that qualify under Section 3(i) of the Tax Ordinance and stock options that qualify as ISOs for U.S. federal income tax purposes), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and RSUs.

    Plan Administration.    The 2019 Plan is administered by the Board or the Compensation Committee. The administrator of the 2019 Plan has the power and authority to: select the employees, directors and consultants to whom awards will be granted from time to time; determine whether and to what extent awards are granted under the 2019 Plan; determine the number of shares or the amount of other consideration to be covered by each award granted thereunder, the exercise price or purchase price of each option or other award, the duration of each award and the times at which each award will become exercisable; approve forms of award agreements for use under the 2019 Plan; approve the time or times when options or other awards vest, which may be based on performance criteria and may include any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions and any restriction or limitation regarding any award or shares related thereto based in each case on such factors as the administrator, in its sole discretion, determines; subject to certain limitations, amend the terms of any outstanding award under the 2019 Plan; construe and interpret the terms of the 2019 Plan and awards, including without limitation, any notice of award or award agreement, granted pursuant to the 2019 Plan; grant awards to employees, directors and consultants employed outside the United States on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the 2019 Plan as may, in the judgment

    31

    of the administrator, be necessary or desirable to further the purpose of the 2019 Plan; designate awards as ISOs or non-qualified stock options, or as 102 options (whether through a trustee or not) or 3(i) options subject to the limitations under the Israeli Tax Authorities or any other applicable law and to determine the type and route of Trustee 102 options; determine the fair market value of the shares in accordance with the provisions of the 2019 Plan; and take all such other action and make all such other determinations and interpretations, not inconsistent with the terms of the 2019 Plan, as the administrator deems appropriate. Except in the case of options, stock appreciation rights and performance-based compensation (as discussed further below), the Board may delegate to officers of the Company, as defined in Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the authority to grant awards to consultants and employees, other than our directors or officers, provided that the Board may limit such authority from time to time.

    Eligibility and Limitations on Grants.    All employees, directors and consultants of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company are eligible to participate in the 2019 Plan subject to the discretion of the administrator. Approximately 13 employees and directors are currently eligible to participate in the 2019 Plan. The number of consultants eligible to participate in the 2019 Plan fluctuates from time to time. Awards other than ISOs may be granted to employees, directors and consultants. ISOs may be granted only to employees of the Company or certain subsidiaries of the Company. The maximum number of shares of common stock with respect to which options and stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock and RSUs to the extent such awards are performance-based, may be granted to any grantee in any calendar year is 400,000 shares, subject to adjustment as discussed below.

    Performance-Based Compensation.    Certain awards of restricted stock or RSUs under the 2019 Plan may vest contingent on the satisfaction of performance goals (“performance-based compensation”).

    The 2019 Plan permits the Compensation Committee to condition vesting on the satisfaction of any one or more of the following performance criteria: (1) increase in share price, (2) earnings per share, (3) total stockholder return, (4) operating margin, (5) gross margin, (6) return on equity, (7) return on assets, (8) return on investment, (9) operating income, (10) net operating income, (11) pre-tax profit, (12) cash flow, (13) revenue, (14) expenses, (15) earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation, (16) economic value added, (17) market share, (18) satisfactory completion of clinical trials or scientific benchmarks and (19) receipt of regulatory approvals. These criteria may be applied to the Company or any subsidiary as a whole, or with respect to a division, operating unit or business segment of the Company or a subsidiary, or any combination of the foregoing. The Compensation Committee must select the particular performance criteria before 25% of the applicable performance period has elapsed (or within 90 days of the date of award), if earlier. The Compensation Committee may make adjustments as necessary to the performance criteria to eliminate the effect on the stated performance goals of unplanned acquisitions or dispositions, changes in foreign exchange rates, discrete tax items identified by the Compensation Committee, changes in accounting standards and variances to planned annual incentive compensation expense.

    Stock Options.    The administrator may award ISOs, non-qualified stock options, stock options that qualify under Section 102 or Section 3(i) of the Tax Ordinance. The exercise price of stock options awarded under the 2019 Plan may not be less (and in the case of certain ISO grants must be more) than the fair market value per share of the common stock on the date of the option grant. The administrator will determine at what times and under what conditions options may be exercised, subject to certain provisions in the case of options granted to Israeli grantees.

    To qualify as ISOs, stock options must meet additional U.S. federal income tax requirements under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), including a $100,000 limit on the value of shares subject to ISOs that first become exercisable in any one calendar year, a term of 10 years and a shorter term and higher minimum exercise price in the case of certain large stockholders.

    Stock Appreciation Rights.    The administrator may award a stock appreciation right independently of a stock option. The base appreciation amount of stock appreciation rights awarded under the 2019 Plan may not be less than the fair market value per share of the common stock on the date of grant of the stock appreciation right. The maximum number of shares of common stock with respect to which stock appreciation rights may be granted to any grantee in any calendar year is 400,000 shares, subject to adjustment as discussed below.

    Restricted Stock and RSUs.    The administrator may award shares of restricted stock or RSUs to grantees subject to such conditions and restrictions as the administrator may determine. RSUs are similar to restricted stock except that no shares are actually awarded to the grantee on the grant date. No monetary payment, other than for applicable taxes, is due by the grantee in connection with the grant of restricted stock or issuance of shares in

    32

    connection with an RSU, except that the grantee must pay the Company the par value of the restricted stock or the shares of common stock underlying the RSU. The maximum number of shares of common stock with respect to which restricted stock and RSUs may be granted to any grantee in any calendar year is 400,000 shares, subject to adjustment as discussed below.

    Tax Withholding.    Grantees of awards made or outstanding under the 2019 Plan are responsible for the payment of any federal, state or local taxes that the Company is required by law to withhold, including, without limitation, obligations incident to the receipt of shares upon any option exercise or vesting of other awards.

    Change of Control Provisions.    Unless otherwise set forth in the award agreement, in the event of a “change in control” as defined in the 2019 Plan, the administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide for the (1) termination of an award upon the consummation of the change in control, but only if such award has vested and been paid out or the holder has been permitted to exercise the option in full for a period of not less than 30 days prior to the change in control, (2) acceleration of all or any portion of an award, (3) payment of an amount (in cash or, in the discretion of the administrator, in the form of consideration paid to shareholders of the Company in connection with such change in control) in exchange for the cancellation of an award and/or (4) issuance of substitute awards that will substantially preserve the otherwise applicable terms of any affected awards previously granted hereunder in a manner complying with applicable regulations.

    Capitalization Changes.    The total number of shares available for award under the 2019 Plan, and the annual limit on the number of shares that may be awarded to any grantee in a calendar year, are subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the 2019 Plan in the case of certain changes in the capital structure of the Company including, such as stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, combination or reclassifications of shares or similar transactions.

    Term.    No awards may be granted under the 2019 Plan after the 10-year anniversary of the date that the 2019 Plan was approved by the Board, or June 29, 2030.

    Amendments.    The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the 2019 Plan at any time, subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders to the extent such approval is required by applicable laws. Generally, under Nasdaq rules and provisions of the Code in the case of Incentive Stock Options, all material amendments to the 2019 Plan will be subject to approval by our stockholders, including, but not limited to: (1) an increase in the number of shares to be issued under the 2019 Plan; (2) an increase in benefits to grantees under the 2019 Plan including any material change to (i) permit a repricing (or decrease in exercise price) of outstanding stock options and stock appreciation rights (SARs) or (ii) reduce the price of stock options, SARs and other awards intended to provide the benefit of appreciation in the value of common stock subsequent to grant; (3) an extension of the duration of the 2019 Plan; (4) an expansion of the class of grantees eligible to participate in the 2019 Plan; and (5) any expansion in the types of awards provided under the 2019 Plan. Otherwise, the Board may amend or discontinue the 2019 Plan at any time, provided that no such amendment may adversely affect the rights under any outstanding award without the holder’s consent.

    New Plan Benefits

    If the Plan Amendment is approved, the number of options that will be received by or allocated to the Company’s employees, directors and consultants will be determined by the Compensation Committee and is not determinable at this time. For information regarding awards made to our NEOs under the 2019 Plan outstanding as of December 31, 2024, see “Compensation of Executive Officers and Directors — Outstanding Equity Awards at December 31, 2024.” For information regarding awards made to our directors under the 2008 Plan and the 2019 Plan outstanding as of December 31, 2024, and for a description of our compensation program for non-employee directors, see “Compensation of Executive Officers and Directors — Director Compensation.” Since December 31, 2024, we have granted a total of 0 options and 1,536,376 RSU grants under the 2019 Plan, including the following grants to our directors and executive officers: 619,500 RSUs and 0 options to Mr. Nadav Kidron with a weighted average exercise price of $0 per share; 259,000 RSUs and 0 options to Dr. Miriam Kidron with a weighted average exercise price of $0 per share; 230,000 RSUs and 0 options to Mr. Avraham Gabay with a weighted average exercise price of $0 per share; 243,000 RSUs and 0 options to Mr. Joshua Hexter with a weighted average exercise price of $0 per share;38,371 RSUs and 0 options to Mr. Daniel Aghion with a weighted average exercise price of $0 per share; 36,975 RSUs and 0 options to Dr. Arie Mayer with a weighted average exercise price of $0 per share; 38,370 RSUs and 0 options to Mr. Yehuda Reznick with a weighted average exercise price of $0 per share; 36,510 RSUs and 0 options to Mr. Leonard Sank with a weighted average exercise price of $0 per share and 34,650 RSUs and 0 options to Mr. Benjamin Shapiro with a weighted average exercise price of $0 per share.

    33

    U.S. Tax Aspects

    The following is a summary of the principal U.S. federal income tax consequences of certain transactions under the 2019 Plan. It does not describe all federal tax consequences under the 2019 Plan nor does it describe state, local or foreign tax consequences.

    ISOs.    ISOs are intended to qualify for treatment as such under Section 422 of the Code. An ISO does not result in income recognition to the optionee or a deduction to us at the time it is granted or exercised, provided that no disposition is made by the optionee of the shares acquired pursuant to the option within two years after the date of grant of the option nor within one year after the date of issuance of shares to the optionee (referred to as the “ISO holding period”). However, the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise and the exercise price generally will be an item of tax preference includible in “alternative minimum taxable income” of the optionee. Upon disposition of the shares after the expiration of the ISO holding period, the optionee will generally recognize long term capital gain or loss based on the difference between the disposition proceeds and the exercise price paid for the shares. If the shares are disposed of prior to the expiration of the ISO holding period (referred to as a “disqualifying disposition”), the optionee will recognize ordinary income, and we will be entitled (subject to the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code, discussed below) to a corresponding deduction, in the year of the disposition, generally equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise of the option (or the sale price of the shares sold, if less) over the exercise price. Any additional gain or loss realized on the disposition will be capital gain or loss.

    Non-Qualified Stock Options.    Options that are not ISOs (designated as such at grant or options that would otherwise have qualified (but in fact fail to qualify) as ISOs, because, for example, the aggregate fair market value of shares with respect to which such options are first exercisable by an individual in any calendar year exceeds $100,000 based on the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant) are considered to be “non-qualified” stock options.

    A non-qualified stock option ordinarily will not result in income recognition to the optionee or deduction to us at the time of grant. The optionee will recognize compensation income at the time of exercise of a non-qualified stock option in an amount equal to the excess of the then fair market value of the shares over the exercise price per share. Compensation income of optionees will be subject to withholding (if the optionee is an employee) and employment or self-employment taxes, and a deduction (subject to the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code, discussed below) will be allowable to us in an amount equal to the optionee’s compensation income.

    An optionee’s initial basis in shares so acquired will be the amount paid on exercise of the non-qualified stock option plus the amount of any corresponding compensation income. Any gain or loss as a result of a subsequent disposition of the shares so acquired will be capital gain or loss (short-term or long-term, as applicable).

    Stock Appreciation Rights.    A grantee recognizes no income upon the grant of a stock appreciation right, but upon its exercise recognizes compensation income in an amount equal to the cash or cash equivalent that he or she receives at that time. If the grantee receives our shares upon exercise of the stock appreciation right, he or she recognizes compensation income equal to the fair market value of the shares received (or, if the shares are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture at the exercise date, at the date or dates on which the risk expires, unless he or she elects to be taxed currently by filing a so-called Section 83(b) election with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days of the receipt of the shares), less the base appreciation amount set forth in the related agreement. Compensation income of the grantee will be subject to withholding (if the grantee is an employee) and employment or self-employment taxes, and a deduction (subject to the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code, discussed below) will be allowable to us in an amount equal to the grantee’s compensation income. Any gain or loss as a result of a subsequent disposition of the shares so acquired will be capital gain or loss (short-term or long-term, as applicable).

    Stock Grants.    With respect to stock grants that are made without any restrictions, the grantee must generally recognize compensation income equal to the excess of the fair market value of shares received over the amount paid (if any). Compensation income of the grantee will be subject to withholding (if the grantee is an employee) and employment or self-employment taxes. We will be entitled to a deduction (subject to the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code, discussed below) in an amount equal to the compensation income recognized by the grantee.

    If a stock grant award is subject to restrictions, the grantee generally will not recognize compensation income at the time of the award, but will instead recognize compensation income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares received over the amount paid (if any) when restrictions on transferability or that otherwise constitute a

    34

    substantial risk of forfeiture lapse. A grantee may elect (by filing a so-called Section 83(b) election with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days of the receipt of the shares) to instead recognize compensation income at the time of the receipt of the shares, rather than upon the lapse of restrictions on transferability or substantial risk of forfeiture, but if the grantee subsequently forfeits such shares, the grantee would not be entitled to a tax deduction for the amount of previously recognized compensation income. He or she will be entitled to a capital loss for the amount paid, if any, for the shares. Compensation income of the grantee will be subject to withholding (if the grantee is an employee) and employment or self-employment taxes. We will be entitled to a deduction (subject to the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code, discussed below) in an amount equal to the compensation income recognized by the grantee.

    When the shares are subsequently sold, the grantee generally will recognize capital gain or loss (short-term or long-term, as applicable) equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the sale of the shares and his or her tax basis (generally the amount paid plus any compensation income recognized). The capital gain or loss will be long-term if the shares were held for more than one year or short-term if held for a shorter period.

    RSUs.    The grantee recognizes no income until the issuance of the shares at or shortly after vesting. At that time, the grantee must generally recognize compensation income equal to the fair market value of the shares received less the amount paid (if any). Compensation income of the grantee will be subject to withholding (if the grantee is an employee) and employment or self-employment taxes. We generally will be entitled to a deduction (subject to the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code, discussed below) in an amount equal to the compensation income recognized by the grantee.

    When the shares are subsequently sold, the grantee generally will recognize capital gain or loss (short-term or long-term, as applicable) equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the sale of the shares and his or her tax basis (generally the amount paid plus any compensation income recognized). The capital gain or loss will be long-term if the shares were held for more than one year or short-term if held for a shorter period.

    Limitation on the Company’s Deductions.    Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallows a federal income tax deduction to public companies for compensation in excess of $1,000,000 paid in any year to the principal executive officer and certain other executive officers. Prior to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “TCJA”), an exception existed for “performance-based” compensation. Our 2008 Plan was generally designed such that compensation arising on award satisfied the then-effective performance-based exemption.

    The TCJA modified the group of individuals to whom payments of compensation in excess of $1,000,000 is not deductible to generally include the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer and the three other most highly compensated executive officers, and provided that each person covered by Section 162(m) of the Code for a particular year after 2016 will remain subject to this limit in subsequent years, even if otherwise not included in that group for the year. It also eliminated the performance-based exemption from Section 162(m) of the Code.

    The 2019 Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee to grant compensation that is partially or wholly nondeductible. As a result, it is expected that certain of our compensation arrangements will result in non-deductible compensation when the total exceeds $1,000,000, except certain historical awards that meet transition rules for continued deductibility under the TCJA.

    Israeli Tax Aspects

    The following is a summary of the Israeli income tax consequences of certain transactions under the 2019 Plan with regard to the granting of awards, including, stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units (the “Stock Awards”) to Israeli Stock Award holders. It is general and does not purport to be comprehensive. Generally, the 2019 Plan provides for the granting of Stock Awards to employees, directors and consultants under either Section 102 or Section 3(i) of the Tax Ordinance. The Stock Awards granted under the 2019 Plan to employees and office holders, who are not controlling shareholders (as defined in the Tax Ordinance) are subject to the “capital gains tax route” under Section 102 of the Tax Ordinance (the “Capital Gains Tax Route”) and the Stock Awards granted to participants in the 2019 Plan who do not qualify to receive Stock Awards under the Capital Gains Tax Route, including consultants, service providers and controlling shareholders, are subject to Section 3(i) of the Tax Ordinance.

    35

    The Capital Gains Tax Route generally provides, in connection with Stock Awards, for a reduced tax rate of 25% on gains realized upon the sale of its underlying shares, subject to the fulfillment of certain procedures and conditions including the deposit of such Stock Awards (or shares issued upon their exercise) for a requisite period of time with a trustee approved by the Israeli Tax Authority (currently, 24 months from the date of grant). Notwithstanding the above, in any event where the exercise price of the underlying shares subject to the Stock Awards is less than the fair market value of the underlying shares at the time of grant of the Stock Awards (calculated as the average value of a company’s shares on the 30 trading days preceding the date of grant), such amount will be deemed ordinary income of the Stock Award holder, taxed at the applicable marginal tax rate (up to 50% in 2022, that is, up to a 47% marginal tax rate plus a 3% surtax, if applicable) together with health insurance and social security insurance payments, on the date of sale of the underlying shares and/or the date of the release of such underlying shares from trust. In the event the requirements of Section 102 of the Tax Ordinance for the allocation of Stock Awards according to the Capital Gains Tax Route are not met, the benefit attributed to the Stock Award holder as a result of the grant of such Stock Awards will be taxed as ordinary work income at applicable marginal income tax rates (together with health insurance and social security insurance payments). For as long as restricted stock or shares issued upon exercise of Stock Awards are registered in the name of the trustee, the voting rights with respect to such shares will remain with the trustee. Under the Capital Gains Tax Route, a company, or its Israeli subsidiary, as the case may be, is generally not entitled to recognize a deduction for Israeli tax purposes on the gain recognized by the Stock Award holder upon sale of the shares underlying the Stock Awards (except for such amount that will be deemed ordinary income of the Stock Award holder as explained above, provided that such subsidiary reimburses the expenses of the issuing corporation with respect to the grant of Stock Awards to Israeli grantees). The Israeli subsidiary of the Company will be required to withhold applicable tax (and social security and national health insurance charges, if applicable) at the source on behalf of the Stock Award holder and may be required to pay social security and national health insurance charges.

    Generally, with respect to a holder of a 3(i) Stock Award that is not registered for trade, the taxable event shall take place on the date of exercise of the Stock Award into shares, and the income will be classified as regular employment or work income subject to marginal tax rates (if the holder is an individual) or corporate tax rates (if the holder is a corporation).
