9.
To review the Auditor’s Report and the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
 
The Company’s Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on July 29, 2022 as the date for determining the holders of record of the Company’s ordinary shares, nominal value NIS 3.00 per share, (the “Ordinary Shares”) entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting and any adjournments thereof.
 

Shareholders of record at the close of business on July 29, 2022 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting and any adjournments thereof. You can vote either by mailing in your proxy or in person by attending the Meeting. Only proxies that are received at the Company’s offices at 20 Ben Zion Gelis Street, Petach Tikva, Israel or its Transfer Agent by August 29, 2022 at 10:00 A.M. local time, will be deemed received in a timely fashion and the votes therein recorded. If you attend the Meeting, you can revoke your proxy and vote your shares in person. Detailed proxy voting instructions are provided both in the proxy statement and on the enclosed proxy card.
 
If and to the extent we become aware of any COVID-19 restrictions likely to materially affect the Meeting, the Company reserves the option to convert the Meeting to a virtual setting only at the same date or a later date. In such event, the Company will issue a press release and furnish a Form 6-K or other document to the SEC prior to the date of the Meeting outlining the manner in which shareholders may attend the virtual meeting.
 
Pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Association, the quorum required for the Meeting consists of at least two shareholders present, in person or by proxy, who hold or represent between them at least 25% of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital.

Items 2 to 7 are special resolutions, which are submitted for Shareholder approval, following approval of each of (i) the Company’s Audit Committee or Compensation Committee, as applicable, and (ii) the Company’s Board of Directors. Shareholder approval requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter, provided that either (i) at least a majority of the voted shares of shareholders who are not Controlling Shareholders and who do not have a Personal Interest in the proposed resolution, are voted in favor thereof; or (ii) the total number of shares of shareholders who are not Controlling Shareholders and who do not have a Personal Interest in the proposed resolution, which are voted against it, does not exceed two percent (2%) of the outstanding voting power in the Company.

Each shareholder voting at the Meeting or prior thereto by means of the enclosed proxy card is requested to indicate if he, she or it has a Personal Interest in connection with a certain proposal. If any shareholder casting a vote in connection with the proposal does not explicitly indicate on the proxy card that he, she or it has, or does not have, a Personal Interest with respect to the proposal, then the vote on the applicable item will not be counted.
 
The review of our audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 described in Item 9 does not involve a vote of our shareholders.
 
Further details of these matters to be considered at the Meeting are contained in the Company’s Proxy Statement furnished herewith. Copies of the resolutions to be adopted at the Meeting will be available to any shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting for review at the Company’s offices during regular business hours.
 
The Company’s Board of Directors believes that our shareholders should be represented as fully as possible at the Meeting and encourages your vote. Whether or not you plan to be present, kindly complete, date and sign the enclosed proxy card exactly as your name appears on the envelope containing this Notice and mail it promptly so that your votes can be recorded. No postage is required if mailed in the United States. Return of your proxy does not deprive you of your right to attend the Meeting, to revoke the proxy or to vote your shares in person.

Votes Required.
 
When voting, Israeli law requires that you indicate whether you are a “Controlling Shareholder”, a senior officer of the Company, an Israeli Institutional Investor or none of the foregoing, otherwise none of your votes will be counted.
 
There will be a place on the proxy card to indicate such.
 
Items 1 and 8 are ordinary resolutions, which require the affirmative vote of a majority of the Ordinary Shares voted in person or by proxy at the Meeting on the matter presented for passage. The votes of all shareholders voting on the matter will be counted.

Generally, an act or transaction with the Controlling Shareholder or in which a Controlling Shareholder has a Personal Interest (as defined below) requires Shareholder approval every three (3) years.
 
Controlling Shareholder” for the purpose of this notice means a person or entity that has the ability to direct the acts of the Company. For Items 2, 6, and 7, any person holding fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power of the Company or of the rights to appoint directors or the Chief Executive Officer is considered a controlling shareholder, and as for Items 3, 4 and 5, any person holding twenty five percent (25%) or more of the voting power of the Company, provided that no other person holds fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power of the Company, or of the rights to appoint directors or the Chief Executive Officer, is considered a Controlling shareholder.
 
A “Personal Interest” means a shareholder’s personal interest in the approval of an act or a transaction of the Company, including (i) the personal interest of such Shareholder’s relative (which includes any members of his/her (or his/her spouse’s) immediate family or the spouses of any such members of his or her (or his/her spouse’s) immediate family); and (ii) a personal interest of a body corporate in which a Shareholder or any of his/her aforementioned relatives serves as a director or the chief executive officer, owns at least five percent (5%) of its issued share capital or its voting rights, or has the right to appoint directors or the chief executive officer, but excluding a personal interest arising solely from holding of shares in the Company or in a body corporate. In addition, under the Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the “Companies Law”) in case of a person voting by proxy for another person, a “Personal Interest” includes the personal interest of either the proxy holder or the Shareholder granting the proxy, whether the proxy holder has discretion to vote or not.
 
Each shareholder voting at the Meeting or prior thereto by means of the enclosed Proxy Card is requested to indicate if he, she or it is a Controlling Shareholder, has a Personal Interest, is a senior officer in the Company and/or an Israeli Institutional Investor, in connection with a certain proposal.

In addition, Nasdaq’s recently adopted Board Diversity Rule is a disclosure standard designed to encourage a minimum board diversity objective for companies and provide stakeholders with consistent, comparable disclosures concerning a listed company’s current board composition. Once the Board Diversity Rule becomes effective in August 2022, a company that is a “foreign private issuer” (as defined in SEC rules) like Eltek will be required to initially have, or explain why it does not have, at least one director who self-identifies as female, an underrepresented minority or LGBTQ+. Our current board composition is in compliance with these requirements. Each term used above and in the matrix below has the meaning given to it in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(f). The matrix below provides certain highlights of the composition of our Board members based on self-identification as of

2.          APPROVAL OF AMENDED AND RESTATED COMPENSATION POLICY
 
(Item 2 on the Proxy Card)
 
As required of public companies under the Companies Law, in January 2014, the Company adopted a compensation policy, setting forth the principles that govern the term of office and employment of the Company’s “office holders”, as defined in the Companies Law. Under the terms of the Companies Law, any amendment to a public company’s compensation policy requires its shareholders’ approval. In December 2016, our shareholders approved a new compensation policy for the Company, which was later amended in September 2018 and in December 2019 (the “Amended Compensation Policy”). Our shareholders are requested to approve the following amendments to the Amended Compensation Policy:

In September 2018, the Company’s shareholders approved the appointment of Mr. Eli Yaffe as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”), effective as of July 1, 2018 and the Company entered into an employment agreement (the “Original Agreement”) with the CEO, which was amended in April 2020. In June 2021, the Company’s Compensation Committee and Board of Directors increased Mr. Yaffe's salary by NIS 5,000 per month, an immaterial change that did not require shareholders’ approval.

In July 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the CEO's employment agreement (the “Amended Agreement”), the terms of which, under the Companies Law, must be approved by the Company’s Compensation Committee, Board of Directors and shareholders. Therefore, our shareholders are requested to approve the amended engagement terms of Mr. Yaffe with the Company, effective as of January 1, 2023, as follows:

7.          RATIFICATION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER 2021 PERFORMANCE BONUS
 
 (Item 7 on the Proxy Card)
 
The CEO's Original Agreement sets forth definitions for Annual Revenues and Annual Profit/Loss for the purpose of determining the annual bonus of the CEO. In March 2022, the Company's Compensation Committee and Board of Directors were inadvertently presented with performance bonus calculations that deviated from the definitions and formula set forth in the Original Agreement, as approved by the Company's Shareholders. The Compensation Committee and Board of Directors approved the performance bonus as presented to them, such that the CEO was granted a bonus  that was NIS 71,000 greater than the amount which should have been granted under the calculations and formula approved by our shareholders (the "Excess Amount," and the "2021 Performance Bonus").
 
In light of the extensive and careful deliberation by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors regarding the terms and structure of the 2021 Performance Bonus, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors determined to grant the CEO such bonus amount notwithstanding that such bonus when granted were made in deviation from the CEO Employment Agreement previously approved by the Shareholders; therefore, the Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors have ratified and approved the grant to the CEO of 2021 Performance Bonus, including the Excess Amount, such that Mr. Yaffe shall be permitted to retain the Excess Amount, all subject to shareholders’ approval hereunder.
 
At the Meeting, the Board of Directors proposes that the following resolution be adopted:
 
 “RESOLVED, to ratify and approve the grant to Mr. Yaffe’s of the 2021 Performance Bonus, including the Excess Amount, as described in the Proxy Statement, be and are hereby approved.”
 
Vote Required
 
The approval of this Item 7 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter, provided that either (i) at least a majority of the voted shares by shareholders who are not Controlling Shareholders and who do not have a Personal Interest in the resolution, are voted in favor of the proposal; or (ii) the total number of shares of shareholders who are not Controlling shareholders and who do not have a Personal Interest in the resolution that were voted against this resolution does not exceed two percent (2%) of the outstanding voting power in the Company.

Audit Committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures:
 
Our Audit Committee has adopted a policy and procedures for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services rendered by our independent auditors. Pre-approval of an audit or non-audit service may be given as a general pre-approval, as part of the Audit Committee’s approval of the scope of the engagement of our independent auditor, or on an individual basis. Any proposed services exceeding general pre-approved levels also require specific pre-approval by our Audit Committee. If needed, the Audit Committee’s Chairman may pre-approve services up to a limit of $10,000, in anticipation of approval of the Audit Committee, at the first meeting following the Chairman’s approval. The policy prohibits retention of the independent registered public accounting firm to perform the prohibited non-audit functions defined in Section 201 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or the rules of the SEC, and also requires the Audit Committee to consider whether proposed services are compatible with the independence of the registered public accountants.
 
At the Meeting, the Company’s Board of Directors proposes that the following resolution be adopted:
 
RESOLVED, to reappoint Brightman Almagor Zohar & Co., a firm in the Deloitte Global Network, as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and for such additional period, until the next annual general meeting of shareholders, and to authorize the Company’s Board of Directors to approve their compensation.”
