For the purpose of Proposal No. 2, 4(a) and 5, the term controlling shareholder shall also include a person who holds 25% or more of the voting rights in the general meeting of the company if there is no other person who holds more than 50% of the voting rights in the company; for the purpose of a holding, two or more persons holding voting rights in the company each of which has a personal interest in the approval of the transaction being brought for approval of the company will be considered to be joint holders.

The compensation policy sets forth a framework for the terms of office and employment of our office holders, including with respect to the grant of any benefit, other payment or undertaking to provide payment, such as salary, bonus, equity awards, severance and other compensation (including in connection with termination of services or change of control over the Company), as well as exemption from liability, insurance or indemnification.

 

Our compensation policy was effective as of the effective time of the registration statement for our initial public offering, in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Law (the “Existing Compensation Policy”).

 

Our compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”), and Board reviewed our Existing Compensation Policy during the period leading up to the convening of the Meeting. Based on that review, the Compensation Committee and the Board proposed a new compensation policy which is now being brought to the approval of the shareholders in accordance with the requirements under the Companies Law. A copy of the proposed policy is attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit A and which we refer to as the Compensation Policy.

 

We have highlighted below certain key substantive features of the Compensation Policy. The following description is merely a summary of those features of our Compensation Policy. We urge you to review Exhibit A in its entirety for the complete text of the Compensation Policy.

Annual Cash Bonus:

 

 Executive Officers (other than the CEO):

 

The target annual cash bonus for an executive officer, other than our chief executive officer (the “CEO”), for any given calendar year, will not exceed four (4) of such executive officer’s monthly base salaries.

 

A portion of the annual cash bonus granted to an executive officer — not exceeding two (2) of the executive officer’s monthly base salary payments — may be based on a discretionary evaluation of the executive officer’s overall performance by the Compensation Committee and the Board based on quantitative and qualitative criteria.

 

The maximum annual cash bonus — including for overachievement performance — that an executive officer, other than the CEO, will be entitled to actually receive for any given calendar year, will not exceed six (6) of such executive officer’s monthly base salary payments.

 

In accordance with the First Appendix to the Companies Law, the Compensation Policy provides that our Company may determine that whether a cash bonus will be paid or not to an executive officer who is subordinate to the CEO may be based in whole or in part on a discretionary evaluation of his or her performance.

 

CEO: 

 

The target annual cash bonus for the CEO for any given calendar year will not exceed six (6) of his or her monthly base salary payments.

 

The maximum annual cash bonus— including for overachievement performance — that the CEO will be entitled to actually receive for any given calendar year, will not exceed eight (8) of his or her monthly base salary payments.

 

A portion of the annual cash bonus granted to our CEO — not exceeding two (2) of the CEO’s monthly base salary payments — may be based on a discretionary evaluation of the CEO’s overall performance by the Compensation Committee and the Board based on quantitative and qualitative criteria.

 

Non-Material Changes to Compensation:

 

The Companies Law regulations allow for a non-material change in the terms of compensation of an executive officer other than the CEO to be approved by the CEO alone. According to the Compensation Policy non-material change in the terms of compensation of an executive officer other than the CEO to be approved by the CEO alone so long as the annual total cost to our Company from that change does not exceed an amount equal to two (2) monthly base salary payments of the relevant Executive officer.

 

Automatic Update Based on Updates to Companies Law:

 

The Compensation Policy includes a general provision allowing the Company to rely on any amendment to provisions of the Companies Law and any other applicable rules and regulations that facilitates our ability to more readily approve or pay executive officer or director compensation, even if that amendment contradicts the principles of the Compensation Policy.

 

We believe that the proposed executive compensation framework under the Compensation Policy will be effective in achieving our objectives of:

 

To closely align the interests of the executive officers with those of the Company’s shareholders in order to enhance shareholder value;

 

To align a significant portion of the executive officers’ compensation with the Company’s short and long-term goals and performance;

 

To provide the executive officers with a structured compensation package, including competitive salaries, performance-motivating cash and equity incentive programs and benefits, and to be able to present to each executive officer an opportunity to advance in a growing organization;

 

10

 

 

To strengthen the retention and the motivation of executive officers in the long-term;

 

To provide appropriate awards in order to incentivize superior individual excellence and corporate performance; and

 

To maintain consistency in the way executive officers are compensated.

 

Annual Equity Awards:

 

The total fair market value of an annual equity-based compensation award at the time of grant (not including bonuses paid in equity in lieu of cash) shall not exceed: (i) with respect to the CEO - the higher of (w) 300% of his or her annual base salary or (x) 2% of the Company’s fair market value at the time of approval of the grant by the Board; and (ii) with respect to each of the other Executive Officers - the higher of (y) 150% of his or her annual base salary or (z) 1% of the Company’s fair market value at the time of approval of the grant by the Board.

 

The fair market value of the equity-based compensation for the Executive Officers will be determined by using the Black Scholes formula or according to other acceptable valuation practices at the time of grant, in each case, as determined by the Compensation Committee and the Board. 

 

The equity-based compensation shall be granted from time to time and be individually determined and awarded according to the performance, educational background, prior business experience, qualifications, corporate role and the personal responsibilities of the Executive Officer.

 

Compensation for Directors:

 

The Compensation Policy also governs the compensation of our Board members and provides that our chairperson and non-employee directors will be entitled to an annual cash fee retainer, up to the limits set forth in the Compensation Policy and that our chairperson may be entitled to receive an annual cash bonus.

 

Under the Compensation Policy, our Board members may also be awarded annual equity-based compensation up to the limits set forth in the Compensation Policy, as shall be determined from time to time and approved by the Compensation Committee, the Board and the Company’s shareholders, which will be subject to a vesting schedule over several years. In addition, our directors will be entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred in the performance of their duties to the Company.

RESOLVED, to approve and adopt the Compensation Policy for the Executive Officers and Directors of the Company, in the form attached as Exhibit A to the Proxy Statement of the Meeting.”

PROPOSAL 3

TO APPROVE THE TERMS OF OFFICE AND EMPLOYMENT OF EACH OF THE NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY

 

Background

 

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

 

We currently have no arrangements with our non-executive directors for payment of compensation.

 

Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors conducted a review of the terms of office and employment of our non-executive directors. In their review, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors took into account the Company’s compensation policy approved by each of the Compensation Committee, Board of Directors and our shareholders, as well as internal fairness and market trends. They also used benchmark studies of peer companies to determine the terms of office and employment of non-executive are consistent with the Compensation Policy and in line with market practice.

Each of our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have approved the terms of office and employment for each of our non-executive directors, subject to the subsequent approval of our shareholders, such that effective November 1, 2024 or the actual date of the appointment of a director (if later) we will pay each non-executive director a fixed annual fee of NIS 72,000 (approximately $20,000) for services as a member of our Board of Directors. Such annual fees shall be paid pro-rata for any service during part of a year. The Company shall not pay any per meeting fees to its non-executive directors. The Company shall also be entitled to reimburse the directors for any directs expenses incurred during the performance of their duties (e.g. travel; parking; telephone, meals etc.)

 

Proposal

 

The shareholders are being asked to approve the terms of office and employment of the non-executive directors of the Company, so named.

 

Approval Required

 

See “Vote Required for Approval of the Proposals” above.

 

Board Recommendation 

 

Our Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of the terms of office and employment of the non-executive directors of the Company, so named, on the terms described in Proposal 2.

 

PROPOSAL 4

APPROVAL OF THE GRANT OF EQUITY-BASED AWARDS TO Our Chief executive officer, Chairperson of the board and OUR DIRECTORS

 

Background

 

Under the Companies Law, the payment of compensation, including equity-based compensation, to a chief executive officer or director that is consistent with a company’s compensation policy must be approved by the compensation committee, board of directors and shareholders, in the case of a chief executive officer, by the Special Majority (for definition, see “Vote Required for Approval of the Proposals” above), and in the case of a director, by an ordinary majority.

 

12

 

 

Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors conducted a review of the equity-based compensation of our directors, executives and employees. Based on such review, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors approved, subject to shareholder approval, the grant to our Chief Executive Officer and to each of our currently serving directors of the following equity-based awards: (a) to Mr. Tomer Izraeli, our Chief Executive Officer, 152,502 RSUs; (b) to Mr. Oz Adler, the Chairperson of our Board of Directors, 150,000 RSUs and (c) to each of our other directors who shall serve in such capacity immediately following the Meeting, 3,000 RSUs, in each case on the terms described below.

 

Each of the proposed equity awards will vest as follows: the equity awards granted under proposal 4(a) and 4(b) shall vest equally on a monthly basis over a period of twenty four (24) months commencing on 30.10.2024, subject to such individual’s continued engagement by the Company on each applicable vesting date; the equity award under proposal 4(c) shall vest equally on a monthly basis over a period of thirty six (36) months commencing on 30.10.2024 (or on the date of appointment of any director, if later) subject to such individual’s continued engagement by the Company on each applicable vesting date .The vesting of any of outstanding equity awards may accelerate in full upon certain circumstances as set out in the Company’s 2021 Equity-Based Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2021 Plan”) and the respective award agreement. The equity awards, if approved at the Meeting, will be granted under and shall be subject to the 2021 Plan and the applicable award agreements to be entered into with each of them. The equity awards to Israeli resident directors (namely, Mr. Assaf Itzhaik, Mr. Omer Srugo and Mr. Liron Carmel (if re-elected at the Meeting), Mr. Yehonatan Vinokur Ms. Liat Sidi, Mr Oz Adler and Mr. Tomer Izraeli), if approved at the Meeting, will be granted pursuant to the capital gains track of Section 102 of the Israel Income Tax Ordinance [New Version] 5721-1961.

 

Each of our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors determined that the grant of the equity awards and their terms are in accordance with our Compensation Policy.

 

In conducting their review, the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors considered our Compensation Policy, as well as internal consistency and market trends. Our compensation philosophy encourages the grant of equity-based compensation to our directors and executive officers in order to further align their compensation with the long-term interests of our shareholders.

It is proposed that the following resolutions be adopted at the Meeting:

 

4(a). “RESOLVED, to approve the grant of equity-based awards to Tomer Izraeli, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (and member of the Board), in such amounts and with such terms and conditions as described in Proposal 3 of the Proxy Statement for the Meeting.”

PROPOSAL 6

APPROVAL OF A ONE TIME CASH PAYMENT TO MR. OZ ADLER, THE CHAIRPERSON OF OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

Background

 

Under the Companies Law, the compensation of directors and officers must comply with the Company’s compensation policy and requires the approval of the company’s Compensation Committee, the Board and shareholders, in that order. The Compensation Committee and the Board considered Polyrizon’s cash position and the Chairperson’s immense efforts relating to the IPO of the Company. In light of the above and our current compensation policy which allows us to grant the chairperson of the Board a total annual compensation of up to $200,000, the Compensation Committee and the Board have reviewed, discussed and approved the proposed bonus as detailed hereunder, and determined that Mr. Adler’s bonus in addition to his monthly compensation as further detailed in proposal No. 6, is in line with the terms and conditions of our compensation policy.

 

At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to approve a one-time cash payment for the year 2024 in the amount of $40,000 to Mr. Oz Adler our Chairperson of the Board for his immense efforts in the Company’s IPO and advancing the Company’s business.

PROPOSAL 8

APPROVAL OF AN INCREASE IN THE COMPANY’S AUTHORIZED ORDINARY SHARE CAPITAL

AND TO AMEND THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION ACCORDINGLY

 

Background

 

Under the Companies Law, a company may not issue shares in excess of its authorized share capital. The Company wishes to have sufficient authorized ordinary share capital available for corporate purposes and to meet its future business needs as they arise including (without limitation) potential public and private offerings of the Company’s ordinary shares, additional grants of equity-based compensation under the 2021 Plan or any other equity-based incentive plan that may be adopted by the Company in the future, and for potential future strategic transactions (such as licensing agreements, acquisitions of other companies or assets or other transactions that may involve issuances of ordinary shares).

 

Accordingly, we are seeking the approval of the shareholders to increase the Company’s authorized ordinary share capital from 20,000,000 ordinary shares, with no par value, to 2,000,000,000 ordinary shares, with no par value, and to amend Article 5 of our Articles of Association accordingly.

 

Proposal

 

It is therefore proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:

 

RESOLVED, to approve an increase of the Company’s authorized ordinary share capital from 20,000,000 ordinary shares, with no par value, to 2,000,000,000 ordinary shares, with no par value, and to amend Article 5 of the Company’s Articles of Association accordingly.

 

Approval Required

 

See “Vote Required for Approval of the Proposals” above.

 

Board Recommendation

 

Our Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” approval of the increase in the Company’s authorized ordinary share capital and to amend our Articles of Association accordingly.

 

PROPOSAL 9

APPROVAL OF THE REVERSE SPLIT OF THE COMMPANY’S ISSUED AND
OUTSTANDING ORDINARY SHARES

 

Background

 

At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to approve a framework to allow the Board, in its sole discretion, to effect one or more Reverse Splits (as defined below) of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares, within 18 months from the Meeting.

 

16

 

 

Under Nasdaq rules and regulations, our Company must be in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). Our current bid price is under $1.00. Due to the decrease in the share price of Polyrizon’s ordinary shares, on March 4, 2025, the Board resolved to approve a flexible framework for the implementation of the Reverse Split at a ratio of up to 1:250. The primary intent of the reverse split is to increase the price of Polyrizon’s ordinary shares in order to meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

 

On January 17, 2025, the SEC approved an amendment to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), according to which, an issuer is not eligible for any compliance period to cure a deficiency under the minimum bid price requirement if it has effected a reverse share split over the prior one-year period. Due to this amendment, Polyrizon’s Board has resolved to approve a framework which allows for multiple reverse share splits, in order to remain in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for an elongated period of time. 

  

Polyrizon’s Board believes that the Reverse Split of its Ordinary Shares is advisable in order to make its ordinary shares more attractive to a broader range of investors and remain in compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement for continued listing if the price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares does not otherwise increase such that the closing bid price of Polyrizon’s Ordinary Shares is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. Polyrizon’s Board believes that the anticipated increased price resulting from the Reverse Split may generate additional interest and trading in its ordinary shares.

 

Polyrizon is therefore seeking approval of its shareholders to effect the Reverse Split of Polyrizon’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares in the range of a ratio of up to 1:250, in one or more increments, such that, depending on the ratio, every two ordinary shares and up to every two hundred and fifty (250) ordinary shares shall be consolidated into one ordinary share. If Proposal No. 8 is approved by Polyrizon’s shareholders, the Board will have discretionary authority, within 18 months from the Meeting to determine whether to implement such Reverse Split, the number of increments, and the exact ratio and the effective date of each increment, such that the maximum range of the Reverse Split shall remain 1:250.

 

If the Reverse Split is implemented, the number of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares would be reduced in accordance with the reverse split ratio. The reverse split, if implemented, would not adjust the number of authorized ordinary shares under our Articles of Association, which, as of the date hereof consist of 20,000,000 ordinary shares, and if approved under Proposal 8, will consist of 2,000,000,000. In addition, if the reverse split is implemented, the exercise price and the number of ordinary shares issuable pursuant to outstanding equity awards, options and warrants will be proportionately adjusted. Furthermore, upon completion of the reverse split, the number of ordinary shares available for issuance under our Plan shall be appropriately adjusted.

 

No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Split. In accordance with our Articles of Association, our Board determined that all fractional shares will be rounded to the nearest whole ordinary share, such that only shareholders holding fractional consolidated shares of more than one-half of one whole share shall be entitled to receive one consolidated share.

 

 Certain Risks Associated with the Reverse Split

 

There are numerous factors and contingencies that could affect the price of our ordinary shares following the proposed Reverse Split, including the status of the market for our ordinary shares at the time, our reported results of operations in future periods, and general economic, market and industry conditions. Accordingly, the market price of our ordinary shares may not be sustainable as the direct arithmetic result of the Reverse Split. If the market price of our ordinary shares declines after the Reverse Split, our total market capitalization (the aggregate value of all of our outstanding ordinary shares at the then existing market price) after the Reverse Split will be lower than before the Reverse Split.

 

17

 

 

The Reverse Split may result in some shareholders owning “odd lots” of less than 100 ordinary shares on a post-split basis. Odd lots may be more difficult to sell, or require greater transaction costs per share to sell, than shares in “round lots” of even multiples of 100 shares.

 

Material Tax Consequences

 

Each shareholder should consult with his, her or its own tax advisor with respect to all of the potential tax consequences to such shareholder of the Reverse Split, including the applicability and effect of any state, local, and non-U.S. tax laws, as well as U.S. federal tax laws and any applicable tax treaties. 

 

Proposal

 

It is therefore proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:

 

RESOLVED, to approve a reverse share split of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares in the range of a ratio between 1:2 and 1:250, such that, depending on the ratio, every two ordinary shares and up to two hundred and fifty ordinary shares shall be converted into one ordinary share, to be effected at the discretion of, and at such increments, ratio and on such dates to be determined by the Board, as detailed in the Proxy Statement for the Metting”.

 

Approval Required

 

See “Vote Required for Approval of the Proposals” above.

 

Board Recommendation

 

Our Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” approval of the Reverse Split.

To that end, this Policy is designed, among other things:

 

2.1.To closely align the interests of the Executive Officers with those of Polyrizon’s shareholders in order to enhance shareholder value;

 

2.2.To align a significant portion of the Executive Officers’ compensation with Polyrizon’s short and long-term goals and performance;

4.Overall Compensation - Ratio Between Fixed and Variable Compensation

 

4.1.This Policy aims to balance the mix of “Fixed Compensation” (comprised of base salary and benefits) and “Variable Compensation” (comprised of cash bonuses and equity-based compensation) in order to, among other things, appropriately incentivize Executive Officers to meet Polyrizon’s short and long-term goals while taking into consideration the Company’s need to manage a variety of business risks.

 

4.2.The total annual target bonus and equity-based compensation per vesting annum (based on the fair market value at the time of grant calculated on a linear basis) of each Executive Officer shall not exceed 95% of such Executive Officer’s total compensation package for such year.

 

21

 

 

5.Inter-Company Compensation Ratio

 

5.1.In the process of drafting this Policy, Polyrizon’s Board and Compensation Committee have examined the ratio between employer cost associated with the engagement of the Executive Officers, including directors, and the average and median employer cost associated with the engagement of Polyrizon’s other employees (including contractor employees as defined in the Companies Law) (the “Ratio”).

 

5.2.The possible ramifications of the Ratio on the daily working environment in Polyrizon were examined and will continue to be examined by Polyrizon from time to time in order to ensure that levels of executive compensation, as compared to the overall workforce will not have a negative impact on work relations in Polyrizon.

 

B. Base Salary and Benefits

 

6.Base Salary

 

6.1.A base salary provides stable compensation to Executive Officers and allows Polyrizon to attract and retain competent executive talent and maintain a stable management team. The base salary varies among Executive Officers, and is individually determined according to the educational background, prior vocational experience, qualifications, corporate role, business responsibilities and past performance of each Executive Officer.

 

6.2.Since a competitive base salary is essential to Polyrizon’s ability to attract and retain highly skilled professionals, Polyrizon will seek to establish a base salary that is competitive with base salaries paid to Executive Officers in a peer group of other companies operating in technology sectors that are as much as possible similar in their characteristics to Polyrizon. To that end, Polyrizon shall utilize comparative market data and practices as a reference, including a survey comparing and analyzing the level of the overall compensation package offered to an Executive Officer of the Company with compensation packages for persons serving in similar positions (to that of the relevant officer) in the peer group. Such compensation survey may be conducted internally or through an external independent consultant.

 

6.3.The Compensation Committee and the Board may periodically consider and approve base salary adjustments for Executive Officers. The main considerations for salary adjustment will be similar to those used in initially determining the base salary, but may also include change of role or responsibilities, recognition for professional achievements, regulatory or contractual requirements, budgetary constraints or market trends. The Compensation Committee and the Board will also consider the previous and existing compensation arrangements of the Executive Officer whose base salary is being considered for adjustment. Any limitation herein based on the annual base salary shall be calculated based on the monthly base salary applicable at the time of consideration of the respective grant or benefit.

 

22

 

 

7.Benefits

 

7.1.The following benefits may be granted to the Executive Officers in order, among other things, to comply with legal requirements:

 

7.1.1.Vacation days in accordance with market practice;

 

7.1.2.Sick days in accordance with market practice;

 

7.1.3.Convalescence pay according to applicable law;

 

7.1.4.Monthly remuneration for a study fund, as allowed by applicable law and with reference to Polyrizon’s practice and the practice in peer group companies (including contributions on bonus payments);

 

7.1.5.Polyrizon shall contribute on behalf of the Executive Officer to an insurance policy or a pension fund, as allowed by applicable law and with reference to Polyrizon’s policies and procedures and the practice in peer group companies (including contributions on bonus payments); and

 

7.1.6.Polyrizon shall contribute on behalf of the Executive Officer towards work disability insurance, as allowed by applicable law and with reference to Polyrizon’s policies and procedures and to the practice in peer group companies.

 

7.2.Non-Israeli Executive Officers may receive other similar, comparable or customary benefits as applicable in the relevant jurisdiction in which they are employed. Such customary benefits shall be determined based on the methods described in Section ‎6.2 of this Policy (with the necessary changes and adjustments).

 

7.3.In the events of relocation and/or repatriation of an Executive Officer to another geography, such Executive Officer may receive other similar, comparable or customary benefits as applicable in the relevant jurisdiction in which he or she is employed or additional payments to reflect adjustments in the cost of living. Such benefits may include reimbursement for out-of-pocket one-time payments and other ongoing expenses, such as a housing allowance, a car allowance, home leave visit, etc.

 

7.4.Polyrizon may offer additional benefits to its Executive Officers, which will be comparable to customary market practices, such as, but not limited to: cellular and land line phone benefits, company car and travel benefits, reimbursement of business travel including a daily stipend when traveling and other business related expenses, insurances, other benefits (such as newspaper subscriptions, academic and professional studies), etc., provided, however, that such additional benefits shall be determined in accordance with Polyrizon’s policies and procedures.

C. Cash Bonuses

 

8.Annual Cash Bonuses - The Objective

 

8.1.Compensation in the form of an annual cash bonus is an important element in aligning the Executive Officers’ compensation with Polyrizon’s objectives and business goals. Therefore, annual cash bonuses will reflect a pay-for-performance element, with payout eligibility and levels determined based on actual financial and operational results, in addition to other factors the Compensation Committee may determine, including individual performance.

 

8.2.An annual cash bonus may be awarded to Executive Officers upon the attainment of pre-set periodical objectives and individual targets determined by the Compensation Committee (and, if required by law, by the Board) for each fiscal year, or in connection with such officer’s engagement, in case of newly hired Executive Officers, taking into account Polyrizon’s short and long-term goals, as well as its compliance and risk management policies. The Compensation Committee and the Board may also determine applicable minimum thresholds that must be met for entitlement to the annual cash bonus (all or any portion thereof) and the formula for calculating any annual cash bonus payout, with respect to each fiscal year, for each Executive Officer. In special circumstances, as determined by the Compensation Committee and the Board (e.g., regulatory changes, significant changes in Polyrizon’s business environment, a significant organizational change, significant merger and acquisition events, etc.), the Compensation Committee and the Board may modify the objectives and/or their relative weight during the fiscal year, or may modify payouts following the conclusion of the year.

 

8.3.In the event that the employment of an Executive Officer is terminated prior to the end of a fiscal year, the Company may (but shall not be obligated to) pay such Executive Officer an annual cash bonus (which may or may not be pro-rated) assuming the Executive Officer is otherwise entitled to an annual cash bonus.

 

8.4.The actual annual cash bonus to be paid to Executive Officers shall be approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board.

D. Equity Based Compensation

 

12.The Objective

 

12.1.The equity-based compensation for Polyrizon’s Executive Officers will be designed in a manner consistent with the underlying objectives of the Company in determining the base salary and the annual cash bonus, with its main objectives being to enhance the alignment between the Executive Officers’ interests with the long-term interests of Polyrizon and its shareholders, and to strengthen the retention and the motivation of Executive Officers in the long term. In addition, since equity-based awards are structured to vest over several years, their incentive value to recipients is aligned with longer-term strategic plans.

 

12.2.The equity-based compensation offered by Polyrizon is intended to be in the form of share options and/or other equity-based awards, such as restricted shares, RSUs or performance stock units, in accordance with the Company’s equity incentive plan in place as may be updated from time to time.

 

12.3.All equity-based incentives granted to Executive Officers (other than bonuses paid in equity in lieu of cash) shall normally be subject to vesting periods in order to promote long-term retention of the awarded Executive Officers. Unless determined otherwise in a specific award agreement or in a specific compensation plan approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board, grants to Executive Officers other than non-employee directors shall vest based on time, gradually over a period of at least 2-4 years, or based on performance. The exercise price of options shall be determined in accordance with Polyrizon’s policies, the main terms of which shall be disclosed in the annual report of Polyrizon.

 

12.4.All other terms of the equity awards shall be in accordance with Polyrizon’s incentive plans and other related practices and policies. Accordingly, the Board may, following approval by the Compensation Committee, make modifications to such awards consistent with the terms of such incentive plans, subject to any additional approval as may be required by the Companies Law.

 

13.General Guidelines for the Grant of Awards

13.2.In determining the equity-based compensation granted to each Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee and the Board shall consider the factors specified in Section 13.1 above, and in any event, the total fair market value of an annual equity-based compensation award at the time of grant (not including bonuses paid in equity in lieu of cash) shall not exceed: (i) with respect to the CEO - the higher of (w) 300% of his or her annual base salary or (x) 2% of the Company’s fair market value at the time of approval of the grant by the Board; and (ii) with respect to each of the other Executive Officers - the higher of (y) 150% of his or her annual base salary or (z) 1% of the Company’s fair market value at the time of approval of the grant by the Board.

 

27
