Exhibit 99.1

WalkMe Ltd.

1 Walter Moses St., Tel Aviv 6789903, Israel

Dear WalkMe Ltd. Shareholders:

We cordially invite you to attend a special and annual general meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting” or the “meeting”) of WalkMe Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (“WalkMe” or the “Company”), to be held on August 7, 2024 at 4:00 p.m. Israel Time (i.e., 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on August 7, 2024) at the principal executive office of WalkMe, located at 1 Walter Moses St., Tel Aviv 6789903, Israel.

As previously announced, WalkMe entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 4, 2024, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to the accompanying proxy statement (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), with SAP SE, a European stock corporation (Societas Europaea) under the laws of Germany and the European Union (“Parent”), and Hummingbird Acquisition Corp Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into WalkMe, with WalkMe surviving the merger (the “Surviving Company”) and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).

The meeting will be held for the following purposes:

(1)

Merger Proposal. To approve (a) the Merger Agreement; (b) the Merger itself; (c) the consideration to be received by the shareholders of WalkMe in the Merger, consisting of $14.00 per share in cash, without interest, subject to adjustment under the Merger Agreement and less any applicable withholding taxes, for each ordinary share, no par value, of WalkMe (each, a “Company Share”) owned immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of the Merger (the “per share merger consideration”); (d) the treatment of equity awards of WalkMe in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement; (e) the purchase of a prepaid “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy for a period of seven years commencing upon the closing of the Merger, as permitted under the Merger Agreement; and (f) all other transactions and arrangements contemplated by the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Merger Proposal”);

(2)

Adjournment Proposal. To approve the adjournment of the Meeting to a later date or dates if necessary to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to approve the Merger Proposal at the time of the Meeting (the “Adjournment Proposal”);

(3)

Director Re-election Proposal. To re-elect each of Jeff Horing, Ron Gutler and Haleli Barath as Class III directors, to hold office until the close of the Company’s annual general meeting of shareholders in 2027, and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or until their respective offices are vacated in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated articles of association or the Companies Law, 5759-1999 (collectively with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Companies Law”) (the “Director Re-election Proposal”);

(4)

Auditor Re-appointment Proposal. To approve the re-appointment of Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer, a registered public accounting firm and a member of Ernst & Young Global, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2024 and until the Company’s next annual general meeting of shareholders, and to authorize the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) (with power of delegation to its audit committee) to set the fees to be paid to such auditors (the “Auditor Re-appointment Proposal”); and

(5)

CEO Compensation Proposal. To approve equity awards granted to Mr. Dan Adika, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, on May 30, 2024, subject to requisite approval by the Company’s shareholders (the “CEO Compensation Proposal,” and, together with the Merger Proposal, Adjournment Proposal, Director Re-election Proposal and Auditor Re-appointment Proposal, the “proposals”).

The Company cannot complete the Merger unless its shareholders approve the Merger Proposal (Proposal 1). However, the completion of the Merger is not contingent on the approval of the Adjournment Proposal (Proposal 2), Director Re-election Proposal (Proposal 3), Auditor Re-appointment Proposal (Proposal 4) or CEO Compensation Proposal (Proposal 5). With respect to the Director Re-election Proposal (Proposal 3), if the Merger is completed, the terms of all directors of the Company will end upon completion of the Merger, with the directors of Merger Sub as of immediately prior to the Effective Time becoming the directors of the Surviving Company. With respect to the Auditor Re-appointment Proposal (Proposal 4), if the Merger is completed, the appointment of Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, will, in coordination with Parent, terminate after the Merger is completed.

The Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR all of the proposals presented at the meeting, including the Merger Proposal.

In addition to considering and voting on the above proposals, members of the Company’s management will be available at the meeting to discuss the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Your shares can be voted at the meeting only if you are present or represented by a valid proxy or proxy card. Only shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 27, 2024 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of the meeting and to vote at the meeting or any adjournment, postponement or other delay thereof. You are also entitled to vote at the meeting if you hold Company Shares through a bank, broker or other nominee which is one of our shareholders of record at the close of business on June 27, 2024, or which appears in the participant listing of a securities depository on that date. Even if you plan to attend the meeting, we request that you submit your proxy or voting instruction form in advance.

The Board, after considering the factors to be more fully described in the proxy statement, has unanimously (i) determined that the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (together with the Merger, the “Transactions”) are fair to, advisable and in the best interests of WalkMe and WalkMe’s shareholders and that, considering the financial position of the merging companies, no reasonable concern exists that the Surviving Company will be unable to fulfill the obligations of WalkMe to its creditors, (ii) authorized and approved in all respects, the Merger Agreement, the execution, delivery and performance of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (iii) directed that the performance of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions be submitted to the Company’s shareholders for their adoption and approval and (iv) resolved to recommend that the Company’s shareholders adopt and approve the performance of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions.

Furthermore, the Board has determined the meeting to be an appropriate opportunity and efficient use of the Company’s time and resources to add to the agenda of the meeting such items that are required to be approved by the shareholders in connection with the Company’s annual general meeting, including the Director Re-election Proposal, the Auditor Re-appointment Proposal and the CEO Compensation Proposal.

Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that you vote (1) “FOR” the Merger Proposal, (2) “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, (3) “FOR” the Director Re-election Proposal, (4) “FOR” the Auditor Re-appointment Proposal, and (5) “FOR” the CEO Compensation Proposal, which are described in the accompanying proxy statement.

Your vote is very important, regardless of the number of Company Shares that you own. The approval of each of the Merger Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal, the Director Re-election Proposal, the Auditor Re-appointment Proposal and the CEO Compensation Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Company Shares represented at the meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), in person, by proxy or by electronic voting, and actually voting on such proposal (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes).

In the case of the Merger Proposal, the foregoing majority must be achieved after excluding any votes of the Company Shares held by (a) Parent, Merger Sub or any person or entity holding, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the total outstanding voting power of Parent or Merger Sub, or the right to appoint 25% or more of the directors of Parent or Merger Sub; (b) a person or entity acting on behalf of Parent, Merger Sub or a person or entity described in clause (a) above; or (c) a family member of, or an entity controlled by, Parent, Merger Sub or any of the foregoing.

In the case of the CEO Compensation Proposal, the foregoing majority must be achieved subject to the fulfillment of one of the following additional voting requirements:

(i)

a majority of the shares that are voted at the meeting in favor of the CEO Compensation Proposal, excluding abstentions, includes a majority of the votes of shareholders present and voting who are not controlling shareholders or do not have a personal interest in the approval of the proposal (within the meanings set forth below) (each controlling shareholder or shareholder with a personal interest, an “Interested Shareholder”); or

(ii)

the total number of shares held by the shareholders mentioned in clause (i) above that are voted against the CEO Compensation Proposal does not exceed two percent (2%) of the aggregate voting rights in the Company.

A “controlling shareholder” is defined as any shareholder that has the ability to direct the Company’s activities (other than by means of being a director or office holder (as defined in the Companies Law) of the Company), including, with respect to the CEO Compensation Proposal, 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. 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 by the Company’s shareholders will be considered to be joint holders. A person is presumed to be a controlling shareholder if it holds or controls, by itself or together with others, one half or more of any one of the “means of control” of the Company. “Means of control” is defined as any one of the following: (i) the right to vote at a general meeting of the Company’s shareholders or (ii) the right to appoint directors of the Company or its chief executive officer.

A “personal interest” of a shareholder in an action or transaction of a company (i) includes a personal interest of any of the shareholder’s relative (i.e., spouse, brother or sister, parent, grandparent, child as well as a child, brother, sister or parent of such shareholder’s spouse or the spouse of any of the above) or an interest of a company with respect to which the shareholder or the shareholder’s relative (as detailed above) holds 5% or more of such company’s issued shares or voting rights, in which any such person has the right to appoint a director or the chief executive officer or in which any such person serves as a director or the chief executive officer, including the personal interest of a person voting pursuant to a proxy whether or not the proxy grantor has a personal interest, and (ii) excludes an interest arising solely from the ownership of the Company Shares.

Under Israeli law, every voting shareholder is required to notify the Company whether such shareholder is an Interested Shareholder. To avoid confusion, every shareholder voting by means of the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form, or via telephone or internet voting, will be deemed to confirm that such shareholder is NOT an Interested Shareholder. If you are an Interested Shareholder (in which case your vote will only count for or against the ordinary majority, and not for or against the special tally under the CEO Compensation Proposal), please notify Paul Shinn, General Counsel, at legal@walkme.com.

Other than entities affiliated with Insight Partners, who are deemed for purposes of the CEO Compensation Proposal to be controlling shareholders, we do not believe we have a controlling shareholder as of the Record Date, and therefore, we believe that none of our other shareholders (except for Mr. Adika) should have a personal interest in the CEO Compensation Proposal and be deemed an Interested Shareholder.

Under the Company’s amended and restated articles of association (the “Articles”), the meeting will be properly convened and a requisite quorum will be present if two or more shareholders (not in default in payment of any sum referred to in Article 13 of the Articles) attend the meeting in person or sign and return proxies; provided, that they hold, in the aggregate, ordinary shares representing at least 25% of the voting power of the Company. If such quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting, then, without any further notice, the meeting will be adjourned (i) to the following week (to the same day, time and place), (ii) to such day and at such time and place as indicated in the notice of such meeting, or (iii) to such day (which day may be earlier or later than the day pursuant to clause (i) above) and at such time and place the chairperson of the meeting shall determine. At such adjourned meeting, the presence of at least one or more shareholders in person or by proxy (regardless of the voting power represented by their ordinary shares) will constitute a quorum.

If you are a shareholder of record, your signed proxy card must be delivered physically to our offices by 5:00 p.m. Israel Time on August 6, 2024 (i.e., 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on August 6, 2024) to be validly included in the tally of Company Shares voted at the meeting. If submitted to our proxy tabulator, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., located at 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717, your signed proxy card must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on August 6, 2024 (i.e., 6:59 a.m. Israel Time on August 7, 2024) to be counted towards the tally of Company Shares so voted. In the alternative, a proxy card may be presented in person to the chairperson of the meeting in order to be counted towards the tally of votes at the meeting. If you are a shareholder of record and attend the meeting, you may vote in person, and if you do so, your proxy will not be used.

If your Company Shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank, broker or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial holder” of the Company Shares held for you in what is known as “street name.” If that is the case, you may instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote by completing and returning the voting instruction form provided by your bank, broker or other nominee, or by providing voting instructions via the internet (at www.proxyvote.com) or via telephone (as per the directions on the enclosed voting instruction form). If you plan to attend the meeting and vote in person, you will be required to present a “legal proxy” from your bank, broker or other nominee, along with an account statement showing ownership of your Company Shares as of the Record Date, in order to be given a ballot to vote the shares in person at the meeting.

Additionally, in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of our Articles and the Companies Law, certain of our shareholders may present proposals for consideration at the meeting by submitting their proposals in writing to the Company no later than 11:59 p.m. Israel Time on July 5, 2024, provided that such proposal is appropriate for consideration by shareholders at the meeting. Such proposals should be submitted in writing to the Company at the following address: WalkMe Ltd., 1 Walter Moses St., Tel Aviv 6789903, Israel, Attn: Mr. Paul Shinn, General Counsel. If the Board determines that a shareholder proposal has been duly and timely received and is appropriate for inclusion in the agenda of the meeting, the Company will publish a revised agenda for the meeting in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Law by way of issuing a press release or furnishing a report on Form 6-K to the SEC. However, the Record Date will not change.

Enclosed with this letter you will find an attached notice of the meeting and proxy statement, along with a separate proxy card or voting instruction form. The proxy statement and other proxy materials are also available free of charge at www.proxyvote.com, the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and the Company’s website at ir.walkme.com. The accompanying proxy statement provides you with detailed information about the proposed Merger and the meeting. Please give this material your careful attention. You also may obtain more information about WalkMe from documents we have filed with or furnished to the SEC.

You may direct any questions about the Merger to, and request additional copies of the enclosed proxy materials from, our proxy solicitor at:

The Merger

Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, and, in accordance with the ICL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, whereupon the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease, with the Company surviving the Merger (the Company, as the surviving entity in the Merger, sometimes being referred to herein as the “Surviving Company”), such that following the Merger, the Surviving Company will (a) become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, (b) continue to be governed by the laws of the State of Israel, and (c) succeed to and assume all of the rights, properties and obligations of Merger Sub and the Company in accordance with the ICL.

As a result of the Merger, each Company Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Company Share represented by a Company Share (a) owned by the Company, any of its subsidiaries, Parent, Merger Sub or by any of their respective subsidiaries, (b) held in the Company’s treasury, (c) that is a dormant share under the ICL, or (d) reserved for issuance, settlement and allocation upon exercise or vesting of Company Options or Company RSU Awards) (each, an “Excluded Share”)) will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, without interest, an amount in cash equal to $14.00 (subject to adjustment under the Merger Agreement and less any applicable withholding taxes) (the “per share merger consideration”), and you will no longer own any shares of the Surviving Company.

After the Merger is completed, you will have the right to receive the per share merger consideration for each issued and outstanding Company Share held by you, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement.

Treatment of Company Equity Awards

Company Options

At the Effective Time, each Company Option, to the extent outstanding, vested and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive from the Surviving Company (except for consideration paid with respect to vested options that are Section 102 Awards and Section 3(i) Awards, which will be paid through the 102 Trustee) a cash amount equal to the product of (a) the number of Company Shares subject to such vested Company Option, multiplied by (b) the excess, if any, of the per share merger consideration over the applicable per share exercise price for such vested Company Option.

At the Effective Time, each Company Option, to the extent outstanding, unvested and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a continuing employee or continuing service provider (each, an “Unvested Cashed-Out Company Option”) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive from the Surviving Company (except for consideration paid with respect to Unvested Cashed-Out Company Options that are Section 102 Awards and Section 3(i) Awards, which will be paid through the 102 Trustee) per Company Share subject to such Unvested Cashed-Out Company Option a cash amount equal to the excess, if any, of the per share merger consideration over the applicable per share exercise price for such Unvested Cashed-Out Company Option, which will be payable subject to the same vesting terms that applied to such Unvested Cashed-Out Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (except that Parent may, in its sole discretion, adjust the original vesting dates scheduled to occur following the Effective Time to align with the next March 10, June 10, September 10 and December 10 date following each such original vesting date).

At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by an individual who is not a continuing employee or continuing service provider, and each Company Option that has a per share exercise price that is equal to or greater than the per share merger consideration, in each case, will be cancelled without consideration therefor.

Any payments made with respect to Company Options will be subject to all applicable tax withholding requirements under applicable law and any tax ruling, if obtained.

Company RSU Awards

At the Effective Time, each Company RSU Award that is outstanding, vested and unsettled as of the Effective Time will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive from the Surviving Company (except for consideration paid with respect to vested Company RSU Awards that are Section 102 Awards and Section 3(i) Awards, which will be paid through the 102 Trustee) a cash amount equal to the product of (a) the number of Company Shares subject to such vested Company RSU Award and (b) the per share merger consideration.

At the Effective Time, each Company RSU Award that is outstanding and unvested as of the Effective Time (each, an “Unvested Company RSU Award”) and held by a continuing employee or continuing service provider (other than a Section 102 Award or Section 3(i) Award (each, an “Israeli RSU Award”)) will be assumed by Parent and converted into a restricted stock unit award of Parent (an “Assumed RSU Award”) covering a number of ordinary shares of Parent, rounded down to the nearest whole share, determined by multiplying (a) the number of Company Shares that were subject to such Unvested Company RSU Award by (b) the quotient of (i) the per share merger consideration divided by (ii) Parent Share Price, subject to the PSU Award Treatment (as defined below), if applicable, which Assumed RSU Award may be settled in cash at the sole discretion of Parent.

At the Effective Time, each Unvested Company RSU Award held by a continuing employee or continuing service provider that is an Israeli RSU Award will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive through the 102 Trustee a cash amount per Company Share subject to such Israeli RSU Award equal to the per share merger consideration, subject to the PSU Award Treatment, if applicable.

Each Assumed RSU Award (or right to receive cash described above in respect of an Israeli RSU Award) will be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Unvested Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, including, without limitation, any service-based vesting terms, except (i) for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the Transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (including the Merger) as determined by Parent in its sole and reasonable discretion, (ii) that with respect to any Unvested Company RSU Award that is subject to performance-based vesting criteria, no performance-based vesting metrics or criteria shall apply from and after the Effective Time, other than (x) forfeiture terms for awards not subject to, or no longer subject to, service-based vesting conditions and (y) any recoupment provisions and (iii) Parent may, in its sole discretion, adjust the original vesting dates scheduled to occur following the Effective Time to align with the next March 10, June 10, September 10 and December 10 date following each such original vesting date.

At the Effective Time, each Unvested Company RSU Award that is held by an individual who is not a continuing employee or continuing service provider will be cancelled without consideration therefor.

Any payments made with respect to Company RSU Awards will be subject to all applicable tax withholding requirements under applicable law and any tax ruling, if obtained.

PSU Award Treatment

At the Effective Time, each Unvested Company RSU Award held by a continuing employee or continuing service provider that remains subject to performance-based vesting criteria in respect of a performance period that has not ended as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, an “Unvested Company PSU Award”) will be assumed and converted into an Assumed RSU Award (or cancelled and converted to the right to receive cash as described above, if such Unvested Company PSU Award is an Israeli RSU Award) based on target achievement of the applicable performance-based vesting criteria (or, to the extent that the terms of the Unvested Company PSU Award require performance to be deemed achieved at a lower level of performance achievement upon the consummation of the Merger, such lower level of achievement) (the “Open Performance Period Treatment”); provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the applicable award agreement, plan document or any other agreement or arrangement, if any performance-based vesting criteria applicable to a Company RSU Award has been achieved below target in respect of a performance period that has ended prior to the Effective Time (“Actual Achievement Level”), such performance-based vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at the Actual Achievement Level and the portion of the Company RSU Award to which such achieved performance-based vesting criteria applied shall be assumed based on the performance-based vesting criteria being achieved at the Actual Achievement Level (and such portion of such Company RSU Award shall under no circumstances be deemed earned at target) (the “Actual Achievement Treatment” and, together with the Open Performance Period Treatment, the “PSU Award Treatment”).

Company ESPP

Prior to the Effective Time and contingent upon the occurrence of the closing of the Merger, the Company will terminate the Company ESPP effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and provide, with respect to the offering or purchase period (if any) under the Company ESPP that is in effect on the date of the Merger Agreement, that all outstanding purchase rights outstanding under the Company ESPP will be automatically exercised on a date no later than ten days prior to the date of closing of the Merger (the “Closing Date”) in accordance with the terms of the Company ESPP. In addition, with respect to the Company ESPP, (i) no new offering or purchase periods shall commence after the date of the Merger Agreement, (ii) no new participants shall be permitted after the date of the Merger Agreement and (iii) existing participants shall be restricted from increasing their payroll deduction elections in effect as of the date of the Merger Agreement.

Assumptions related to the CEO Compensation Proposal

The Special and Annual General Meeting

Date, Time, Place and Agenda. The meeting will take place on August 7, 2024, at 4:00 p.m. Israel Time (i.e., 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on August 7, 2024), at the Company’s principal executive office at 1 Walter Moses St., Tel Aviv 6789903, Israel. The meeting is being held for the purpose of considering the approval of each of the Merger Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal, the Director Re-election Proposal, the Auditor Re-appointment Proposal and the CEO Compensation Proposal.

We do not currently expect there to be any other matters on the agenda at the meeting; however, if any other matter is properly presented at the meeting, the persons named in the enclosed proxy card will vote upon such matters in accordance with their discretion.

Record Date. Shareholders as of the Record Date of June 27, 2024 are entitled to notice of the meeting and to vote at the meeting. Each holder of Company Shares is entitled to cast one vote on each matter properly brought before the meeting for each Company Share owned as of the Record Date.

Quorum. Under the Articles, the meeting will be properly convened and a requisite quorum will be present if two or more shareholders (not in default in payment of any sum referred to in Article 13 of the Articles) attend the meeting in person or sign and return proxies, provided that they hold, in the aggregate, ordinary shares representing at least 25% of the voting power of the Company. If such quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting, then, without any further notice, the meeting will be adjourned (i) to the following week (to the same day, time and place), (ii) to such day and at such time and place as indicated in the notice of such meeting, or (iii) to such day (which day may be earlier or later than the day pursuant to clause (i) above) and at such time and place the chairperson of the meeting shall determine. At such adjourned meeting, the presence of at least one or more shareholders in person or by proxy (regardless of the voting power represented by their ordinary shares) will constitute a quorum.

Required Vote. The approval of each of the Merger Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal, the Director Re-election Proposal, the Auditor Re-appointment Proposal and the CEO Compensation Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Company Shares represented at the meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), in person, by proxy or by electronic voting, and actually voting on such proposal (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes).

If the Adjournment Proposal is approved and a quorum is present, the chairman of the meeting may recess and/or adjourn the meeting to a later time or date pursuant to the Articles. It should be noted that under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the meeting cannot be adjourned for more than five business days at a time or ten business days in the aggregate after the date appointed for the meeting without the prior written consent of Parent, other than under certain specified circumstances.

In the case of the CEO Compensation Proposal, the foregoing majority must be achieved subject to the fulfillment of one of the following additional voting requirements:

(i)

a majority of the shares that are voted at the meeting in favor of the CEO Compensation Proposal, excluding abstentions, includes a majority of the votes of shareholders present and voting who are not controlling shareholders or do not have a personal interest in the approval of the proposal (each controlling shareholder or shareholder with a personal interest, an “Interested Shareholder”); or

(ii)

A “controlling shareholder” is defined as any shareholder that has the ability to direct the Company’s activities (other than by means of being a director or office holder (as defined in the Companies Law) of the Company), including, with respect to the CEO Compensation Proposal, 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. 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 by the Company’s shareholders will be considered to be joint holders. A person is presumed to be a controlling shareholder if it holds or controls, by itself or together with others, one half or more of any one of the “means of control” of the Company. “Means of control” is defined as any one of the following: (i) the right to vote at a general meeting of the Company’s shareholders, or (ii) the right to appoint directors of the Company or its chief executive officer.

A “personal interest” of a shareholder in an action or transaction of a company (i) includes a personal interest of any of the shareholder’s relative (i.e., spouse, brother or sister, parent, grandparent, child as well as child, brother, sister or parent of such shareholder’s spouse or the spouse of any of the above) or an interest of a company with respect to which the shareholder or the shareholder’s relative (as detailed above) holds 5% or more of such company’s issued shares or voting rights, in which any such person has the right to appoint a director or the chief executive officer or in which any such person serves as a director or the chief executive officer, including the personal interest of a person voting pursuant to a proxy whether or not the proxy grantor has a personal interest; and (ii) excludes an interest arising solely from the ownership of the Company Shares.

Share Ownership of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers. As of the Record Date for the meeting, directors and executive officers of the Company beneficially owned, in the aggregate, approximately 23% of the outstanding Company Shares. For beneficial ownership of Company Shares by the Company’s directors and executive officers, including how beneficial ownership was calculated, see the section entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Directors and Officers” beginning on page 99 of this proxy statement.

Voting and Proxies. If you are a shareholder of record, your signed proxy card must be delivered physically to our offices by 5:00 p.m. Israel Time on August 6, 2024 (i.e., 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on August 6, 2024) to be validly included in the tally of Company Shares voted at the meeting. If submitted to our proxy tabulator, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., located at 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717, your signed proxy card must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on August 6, 2024 (i.e., 6:59 a.m. Israel Time on August 7, 2024) to be counted towards the tally of Company Shares so voted. In the alternative, a proxy card may be presented in person to the chairperson of the meeting in order to be counted towards the tally of votes at the meeting. If you are a shareholder of record and attend the meeting, you may vote in person, and if you do so, your proxy will not be used.

Shareholder Proposals. Additionally, in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of our Articles and the Companies Law, certain of our shareholders may present proposals for consideration at the meeting by submitting their proposals in writing to the Company no later than 11:59 p.m. Israel Time on July 5, 2024, provided that such proposal is appropriate for consideration by shareholders at the meeting. Such proposals should be submitted in writing to the Company at the following address: WalkMe Ltd., 1 Walter Moses St., Tel Aviv 6789903, Israel, Attn: Mr. Paul Shinn, General Counsel. If the Board determines that a shareholder proposal has been duly and timely received and is appropriate for inclusion in the agenda of the meeting, the Company will publish a revised agenda for the meeting in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Law by way of issuing a press release or furnishing a report on Form 6-K to the SEC. However, the Record Date will not change.

Interests of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger

When considering the recommendation of the Board that you vote to approve the Merger Proposal, you should be aware that our directors and executive officers may have interests in the Merger that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. The Board was aware of these interests during its deliberations on the merits of the Merger and in deciding to recommend that the Company’s shareholders vote in favor of the Merger Proposal. These interests generally include, among others, the rights to accelerated vesting of equity awards, entitlement to certain severance payments and benefits in the event of certain terminations of employment, indemnification and insurance and certain payments and benefits provisions contained in or permitted by the Merger Agreement, as described in more detail under the caption “The Merger—Interests of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger.”

However, prior to the approval of the Merger Agreement by the Company’s shareholders, the solicitation restrictions are subject to a customary “fiduciary‑out” provision that allows the Company, in response to its receipt of an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal, to provide information to and participate in negotiations or discussions with third parties with respect to an Acquisition Proposal if the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, based on the information then available, that the Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be likely to lead to a Superior Proposal (as defined in the section of this proxy statement captioned “The Merger Agreement—Acquisition Proposals”) and that failure to take such action would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with the Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Israeli law and the Company receives or has already received an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

In addition, at any time prior to the receipt of the requisite approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions by the Company’s shareholders, in response to its receipt of an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal, the Board may (a) effect a change in recommendation that the holders of Company Shares approve the Merger Agreement and the Transactions and/or (b) terminate the Merger Agreement in order to accept a Superior Proposal, if (i) such Acquisition Proposal has been received and not been withdrawn and (ii) the Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and, in light of such Superior Proposal, the failure to change its recommendation and/or to terminate the Merger Agreement would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Israeli law. However, prior to taking these actions, the Board must provide Parent with at least four business days’ prior written notice of such determination (the “Notice Period”), specifying the material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal; during the Notice Period, if requested by Parent, the Company must cause its legal and financial advisors to reasonably engage in good faith negotiations with Parent and its representatives, and the Board must consider in good faith any proposals made by Parent in writing, to amend the Merger Agreement such that the Acquisition Proposal would no longer constitute a Superior Proposal.

Also, prior to receipt of the requisite approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions by the Company’s shareholders, the Board may change its recommendation that the holders of Company Shares approve the Merger Agreement for a reason unrelated to an Acquisition Proposal if it determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, that, in light of the occurrence of certain intervening events, the failure to take such action would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with the Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Israeli law; provided, that the Company gives Parent written notice of such determination, with a description of the material facts and circumstances giving rise to such intervening events, and, during the five business day period commencing on the date of Parent’s receipt of such notice, if requested by Parent, the Company causes its legal and financial advisors to reasonably engage in good faith negotiations with Parent and its representatives regarding any amendment to the Merger Agreement and consider in good faith any such proposals made by Parent so as to avoid such recommendation change.

The Company will be required to pay Parent a termination fee of approximately $44.2 million if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances that are specified in the Merger Agreement. For more details, see the section of this proxy statement captioned “The Merger Agreement—Company Termination Fee.”

Financing of the Merger

The Merger is not conditioned upon Parent’s receipt of proceeds of any outside financing. Parent has represented to the Company that it and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, have the financial capacity to pay and perform its obligations under the Merger Agreement, and that, at the Closing, Parent will have access to all funds necessary for Parent to fulfill its obligations under the Merger Agreement, including as necessary to consummate the Merger. For more information, see the section of this proxy statement entitled “The Merger—Financing of the Merger.”

U.S. Federal and Israeli Income Tax Consequences of the Merger

The receipt by a U.S. Holder (as defined in “The Merger—U.S. Federal and Israeli Income Tax Consequences of the Merger—U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”) of cash in exchange for Company Shares pursuant to the Merger will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Generally, a U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash it receives pursuant to the Merger and its aggregate adjusted tax basis in Company Shares that it exchanges for such cash.

The receipt of the per share merger consideration in exchange for a Company Share pursuant to the Merger is generally a taxable transaction to the holders of such Company Share for Israeli income tax purposes and requires the withholding of applicable Israeli tax at source. However, certain exemptions from Israeli tax laws may be applicable to non‑Israeli holders of Company Shares.

For more information, see the section of this proxy statement captioned “The Merger—U.S. Federal and Israeli Income Tax Consequences of the Merger.” Holders of Company Shares should consult their own tax advisors concerning the tax consequences relating to the Merger in light of their particular circumstances.

Regulatory Approvals Required for the Merger and Other Regulatory Filings

Antitrust Filings

Under the Merger Agreement, the Transactions cannot be completed until receipt of the Required Clearances.

After the Closing, a foreign direct investment notification will be submitted to the competent authority in Japan, noting that it is the understanding of the parties to the Merger Agreement that the Transactions will not lead to a substantive review of such authority and that the making of such notification will serve only a statistical purpose.

Israeli Companies Registrar

Each of the Company and Merger Sub is required to file with the Registrar of Companies of the Israeli Corporations Authority (the “Companies Registrar”) a merger proposal setting forth specified details with respect to the Merger, within three days of calling the meeting to approve the Merger.

After the vote of the Company’s shareholders, each of the Company and Merger Sub must file a notice with the Companies Registrar regarding the approval of the Merger by the Company’s shareholders no later than three days after the date on which such approval is received.

A notification of the Merger must be sent to the secured creditors of each merging company within three days after the merger proposal is filed with the Companies Registrar, and, within four business days of such filing, known substantial creditors must be informed individually by registered mail of such filing and where the merger proposal can be reviewed. Non-secured creditors must be informed of the Merger by publication in two daily Hebrew newspapers in Israel on the day that the merger proposal is submitted to the Companies Registrar and, with respect to the Company, in one daily newspaper in New York within three business days of the date that the merger proposal is filed with the Companies Registrar. Both merging companies will notify the Companies Registrar of the notices given to their respective creditors.

In addition, pursuant to the Companies Law, because we employ more than 50 employees, we must provide to the workers’ council a copy of the publication placed in the newspapers or post a copy of the publication placed in the newspapers in a prominent location in the workplace within three business days after the merger proposal is filed with the Companies Registrar. We intend to satisfy such requirement by posting a copy of the publication in a prominent location in our offices.

Assuming that the shareholders of the Company approve the Merger Proposal (and all the other conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement have been satisfied) and that all of the statutory procedures and requirements have been complied with, including the submission of all required approvals to the Companies Registrar, and so long as at least 30 days have elapsed after the approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions by the Company’s shareholders and at least 50 days have passed from the date of the filing of the merger proposal with the Companies Registrar, the Merger will become effective upon the issuance of a certificate of merger following a request by the Company and Merger Sub, and upon request the Companies Registrar will be required to register the Merger in the Companies Registrar.

Israeli Tax Rulings

Parent and the Company have agreed to request certain rulings from the ITA. For more information, please refer to the section of this proxy statement captioned “The Merger—U.S. Federal and Israeli Income Tax Consequences of the Merger—Israeli Tax Consequences.”

Israeli Innovation Authority

In addition, due to the funding the Company received from the Israeli Innovation Authority (“IIA”), pursuant to the provisions of the Israeli Encouragement of Research, Development and Technological Innovation in the Industry Law 1984 (the “Innovation Law”), promptly following the closing of the Merger, the Surviving Company must file a notice to the IIA to inform the IIA of the change of ownership of the Company to be effected by the Merger and provide a signed undertaking (as required under the Innovation Law) to the IIA in a customary form pursuant to which Parent agrees to be bound by and to comply with the provisions of the Innovation Law. Parent agreed under the Merger Agreement to cause the Surviving Company to deliver the notice and undertaking to the IIA promptly following the Closing Date. The filing of the IIA notice is not a condition to completion of the Merger.

For further details regarding the regulatory approvals required for the Merger, please refer to the section of this proxy statement captioned “The Merger—Regulatory Approvals Required for the Merger and Other Regulatory Filings.”

No Appraisal Rights

Under Israeli law, holders of Company Shares are not entitled to statutory appraisal rights in connection with the Merger.

Voting and Support Agreements

As a condition to Parent’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement and as a material inducement in consideration therefor, concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, certain shareholders of the Company (collectively, the “Supporting Shareholders”), who collectively hold approximately 58% of the outstanding Company Shares as of the date of the Merger Agreement, have each entered into a voting and support agreement with Parent (each a “Support Agreement”, and collectively, the “Support Agreements”), pursuant to which, among other things, each Supporting Shareholder has agreed, subject to the terms thereof, to vote all Company Shares owned by such Supporting Shareholder in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions and against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would prevent, impede or delay the consummation of the Transactions. The obligations of the Supporting Shareholders terminate under certain circumstances, including if the Merger Agreement is terminated.

A form of the Support Agreement is attached as Annex C to this proxy statement.

You may obtain the information incorporated by reference in this proxy statement without charge by following the instructions under the caption “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Q.	Why am I receiving these materials?

You are receiving this proxy statement from us because you were a shareholder of record at the close of business on June 27, 2024 (the “Record Date”). You are entitled to attend the meeting and are entitled to vote on the items of business described in this proxy statement if you own Company Shares as of the close of business on the Record Date. Your vote is very important, and we encourage you to vote by proxy or voting instruction form as soon as possible.

A.	You are being asked to vote on the following proposals:

the Merger Proposal;

the Adjournment Proposal;

the Director Re-election Proposal;

the Auditor Re-appointment Proposal; and

the CEO Compensation Proposal.

Q.	What happens if additional matters are presented at the meeting?

The only items of business that the Board intends to present at the meeting are set forth in this proxy statement. No shareholder has advised us of the intent to present any other matter, and we are not aware of any other matters to be presented at the meeting. If any other matter or matters are brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of our amended and restated articles of association (the “Articles”) and the ICL, the person(s) named as your proxyholder(s), if any, will have the discretion to vote your Company Shares on the matters in accordance with their best judgment and as they deem advisable.

One or more shareholders holding at least 5% of the voting power in the Company have the right to ask the Board to include an item relating to the appointment or removal of a director in the agenda of the meeting, and 1% of the voting power in the Company have the right to ask the Board to include any other item to the agenda of the meeting, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 66(b) of the ICL, provided, that the proposed item is suitable for discussion at the meeting. This proxy statement constitutes a convening notice by the Company with respect to the meeting. Accordingly, the last date for submitting a request to include an item in the agenda of the meeting pursuant to and in accordance with the ICL is 11:59 p.m. Israel Time on July 5, 2024, and, if the Board determines that a shareholder proposal is appropriate to be added to the agenda of the meeting, the Company will publish a revised agenda in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Law.

The chairperson of the Board shall preside as chairperson of the meeting. If at such meeting the chairperson of the Board shall not be present within 15 minutes after the time fixed for holding the meeting or is unwilling or unable to act as the chairperson, any of the following may preside as chairperson of the meeting (and in the following order): a director designated by the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the General Counsel, the Secretary or any person designated by any of the foregoing.

Q.	When and where is the meeting?

A.	The meeting will take place on August 7, 2024, at 4:00 p.m. Israel Time (i.e., 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on August 7, 2024), at the Company’s principal executive office at 1 Walter Moses St., Tel Aviv 6789903, Israel.

Q.	Who is entitled to vote?

A.	Shareholders as of the Record Date are entitled to notice of the meeting and to vote. Each holder of Company Shares is entitled to cast one vote on each matter properly brought before the meeting for each Company Share owned as of the Record Date.

Q.	What shares can I vote at the meeting?

A.	You may vote all of the Company Shares you owned as of the Record Date, including Company Shares held directly in your name as the shareholder of record, all Company Shares held for you in “street name” as the beneficial owner through a broker, trustee or other nominee such as a bank.

Q.	If I purchased my Company Shares after the Record Date, may I vote these shares at the meeting?

No. A shareholder is not entitled to vote shares purchased after the Record Date because the shareholder was not the record holder of those shares on the Record Date. Only the holders as of the Record Date may vote shares. However, such shareholder’s Company Shares will be automatically cancelled in exchange for the right to receive $14.00 per share in cash, without interest, subject to adjustments under the Merger Agreement and less any applicable withholding taxes, upon completion of the Merger.

Q.	How may I vote?

A.	Shareholders of Record: If you are a shareholder of record, you can vote either in person at the meeting or by authorizing another person as your proxy, whether or not you attend the meeting. You may vote by proxy in any of the manners below:

By mail: If you are a shareholder of record, you can submit a proxy by completing, dating, signing and returning your proxy card or voting instruction form in the postage‑paid envelope provided to be received by the Company’s proxy tabulator, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., located at 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717 by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on August 6, 2024 (i.e., 6:59 a.m. Israel Time on August 7, 2024), or if sent to the Company’s Israeli registered office, to be physically delivered no later than 5:00 p.m. Israel Time on August 6, 2024 (i.e., 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on August 6, 2024). You should sign your name exactly as it appears on the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form. If you are signing in a representative capacity (for example, as a guardian, executor, trustee, custodian, attorney or officer of a corporation), please indicate your name and title or capacity.

By telephone: If you are a shareholder of record, you can submit a proxy by telephone by calling the toll‑free number listed on the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form, entering your control number located on the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form and following the prompts.

By Internet: If you are a shareholder of record, you can submit a proxy over the Internet by logging on to the website listed on the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form, entering your control number located on the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form and submitting a proxy by following the on‑screen prompts.

Beneficial Owners: If you hold your shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee on Nasdaq, please vote in accordance with the instructions on the nominee’s voting instruction form. If you receive a physical voting instruction form, you may complete it and mail it in the self‑addressed envelope that is enclosed. If you received an email copy of the voting instruction form, or if you otherwise desire to submit voting instructions by telephone or over the Internet, please follow the directions that you received. The deadline for receipt of your voting instructions will be 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on August 6, 2024. Alternatively, if you wish to attend the meeting and vote in person, you must obtain a “legal proxy” from the bank, broker or other nominee that holds your Company Shares and an account statement showing ownership of your Company Shares as of the Record Date, giving you the right to vote the shares at the meeting. In that case, you must be prepared to present a valid photo identification and also bring a recent account statement or similar evidence of ownership from your bank, broker or other nominee that shows that you owned Company Shares as of the Record Date.

Q.	What happens if I do not indicate how to vote on the proxy card or voting instruction form?

If you are a registered shareholder and provide specific instructions (by marking a box on your proxy card) with regard to the proposals, your Company Shares will be voted as you instruct. With respect to the Merger Proposal, if you sign and return your proxy card without giving specific instructions, your Company Shares will not be voted on the Merger Proposal, unless you provide the required confirmation under Item 1a of the proxy card that you are not a Parent Affiliate (as defined in the section of this proxy statement captioned “The Annual and Special General Meeting—Vote Required for Approval of Each of the Proposals”). If you indicate that you are not a Parent Affiliate and you do not provide specific instructions with regard to voting on the Merger Proposal, you proxy card will be voted “FOR” the Merger Proposal. If you are a registered shareholder and do not provide specific instructions with regard to voting on the other proposals, your proxy card will be voted “FOR” the other proposals.

If you are a beneficial owner and return your voting instruction form but do not specify voting instructions for the Merger Proposal, your bank, broker or other nominee will not be permitted to cast a vote with respect to the Merger Proposal (commonly referred to as a “broker non-vote”). Banks, brokers or other nominees that hold Company Shares in “street name” for clients typically have authority to vote on “routine” proposals even when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners. The proposals for the meeting will not be treated as routine proposals (except the Auditor Re-appointment Proposal), because, among other things, our proxy statement is prepared in compliance with the ICL rather than the rules applicable to domestic U.S. reporting companies. Therefore, in that circumstance, the Company Shares held by you will be included in determining the presence of a quorum at the meeting, but will not be considered “present” for the purpose of voting on the Merger Proposal and other proposals. Such Company Shares therefore have no impact on the outcome of the voting on the Merger Proposal or other proposals. If your Company Shares are held of record by a bank, broker or other nominee, we urge you to follow the instructions from your bank, broker or other nominee as to how your Company Shares can be voted so that you thereby participate in the voting on this important matter.

Q.	If any broker, bank or other nominee holds my Company Shares in “street name,” will my nominee vote my shares for me?

No. Your bank, broker or other nominee is not permitted to vote your Company Shares on any proposal, except the Auditor Re-appointment Proposal, currently scheduled to be considered at the meeting unless you instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote. You should follow the procedures provided by your bank, broker or other nominee to vote your Company Shares. Without instructions, your Company Shares will not be counted as voted at the meeting (referred to as a “broker non-vote”).

Q.	How are “broker non-votes” counted?

A.	Broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the meeting, but they will not be counted in tabulating the voting result for all proposals.

Q.	How are abstentions counted?

If you return a proxy card that indicates an abstention from voting on all matters, the Company Shares represented by your proxy will be counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business, but they will not be counted in tabulating the voting result for any particular proposal.

Q.	May I attend the meeting and vote in person?

Yes. All shareholders of record as of the Record Date may attend the meeting and vote in person. Even if you plan to attend the meeting in person, to ensure that your Company Shares will be represented at the meeting, we encourage you to sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying prepaid reply envelope or grant your proxy electronically over the Internet or by telephone.

If you hold your Company Shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee, you should instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote your Company Shares in accordance with the voting instruction form that you will receive from your bank, broker or other nominee. Your bank, broker or other nominee cannot vote on any of the proposals, including the Merger Proposal, without your instructions. If you hold your Company Shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee, you may not vote your Company Shares in person at the meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from your bank, broker or other nominee and an account statement showing ownership of your Company Shares as of the Record Date.

Q.	How do the Support Agreements impact the vote for the proposals at the meeting?

You should be aware that, concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the Supporting Shareholders have each entered into a Support Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the Supporting Shareholders agreed, subject to the terms thereof, to vote all Company Shares owned by such Supporting Shareholder in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions.

Q.	What is the proposed Merger, and what effects will it have on the Company?

The proposed Merger is the acquisition of the Company by Parent. If the Merger Proposal is approved by shareholders and the other closing conditions under the Merger Agreement have been satisfied or waived, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the Surviving Company. As a result of the Merger, the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, and the Company Shares will no longer be publicly traded and will be delisted from Nasdaq. In addition, the Company Shares will be deregistered under the Exchange Act, and the Company will no longer file periodic reports with the SEC.

Q.	What will I receive if the Merger is completed?

Upon completion of the Merger, you will be entitled to receive the per share merger consideration for each Company Share that you own, other than Company Shares represented by Excluded Shares. For example, if you own 100 Company Shares, you will receive $1,400.00 in cash in exchange for your Company Shares, without interest, subject to adjustments in the Merger Agreement and less any applicable withholding taxes.

Q.	How does the per share merger consideration compare to the unaffected market price of the Company Shares?

The $14.00 per share merger consideration (without interest, subject to adjustments in the Merger Agreement and before any applicable withholding taxes) constitutes a premium of approximately 45% to $9.64, the closing share price of the Company Shares on Nasdaq on June 4, 2024, the last trading day prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement.

Q.	Is the completion of the Merger subject to a financing condition?

A.	No. The receipt of financing by Parent is not a condition to completion of the Transactions.

Q.	What do I need to do now?

We encourage you to read this proxy statement, the annexes to this proxy statement and the documents that we refer to in this proxy statement carefully and consider how the Merger affects you. Then sign, date and return, as promptly as possible, the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying reply envelope, or grant your proxy electronically over the Internet or by telephone so that your Company Shares can be voted at the meeting. If you hold your Company Shares in “street name,” please refer to the voting instruction forms provided by your bank, broker or other nominee to vote your Company Shares.

Q.	Should I send in my share certificates now?

No, please do not send in your Company Share certificates with your proxy card. After the Merger is completed, you will receive a letter of transmittal containing instructions for how to send your share certificates to the bank or trust company the Company selects to act as the exchange agent for the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”) in order to receive the appropriate cash payment for the Company Shares represented by your share certificates.

Q.	What happens if I sell or otherwise transfer my Company Shares after the Record Date but before the meeting?

A.	The Record Date is earlier than the date of the meeting and the date the Merger is expected to be completed.

If you sell or transfer your Company Shares after the Record Date but before the meeting, you will retain your right to vote those shares at the meeting, but you will transfer the right to receive the per share merger consideration, if the Merger is completed, to the person to whom you sell or transfer your Company Shares. Even if you sell or otherwise transfer your Company Shares after the Record Date, we encourage you to sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying reply envelope, or grant your proxy electronically over the Internet or by telephone.

Q.	How does the Board recommend that I vote?

The Board, after considering the various factors described under the caption “The Merger—Reasons for the Merger and Recommendation of the Board,” has unanimously (1) determined that the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions are fair to, advisable and in the best interests of the Company and the Company’s shareholders and that, considering the financial position of the merging companies, no reasonable concern exists that the Surviving Company will be unable to fulfill the obligations of the Company to its creditors, (2) authorized and approved in all respects, the Merger Agreement, the execution, delivery and performance of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (3) directed that the performance of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions be submitted to the Company’s shareholders for their adoption and approval, and (4) resolved to recommend that the Company’s shareholders adopt and approve the performance of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions.

Furthermore, the Board has determined the meeting to be an appropriate opportunity and efficient use of the Company’s resources to add to the agenda of the meeting such items that are required to be approved by the shareholders in connection with the Company’s annual general meeting, including the Adjournment Proposal (Proposal 2), Director Re-election Proposal (Proposal 3), Auditor Re-appointment Proposal (Proposal 4) and CEO Compensation Proposal (Proposal 5).

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote (1) “FOR” the Merger Proposal, (2) “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, (3) “FOR” the Director Re-election Proposal, (4) “FOR” the Auditor Re-appointment Proposal, and (5) “FOR” the CEO Compensation Proposal.

Q.	What happens if the Merger is not completed?

If the Merger is not approved by the requisite vote of the Company’s shareholders or if the Merger is not completed for any other reason, the Company’s shareholders will not receive any merger consideration for their Company Shares. Instead, the Company will remain an independent public company, the Company Shares will continue to be listed and traded on Nasdaq and registered under the Exchange Act, and the Company will continue to file periodic reports with the SEC.

If the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, termination by the Company to accept a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement), termination by Parent following a Company Change of Recommendation (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or termination by Parent as a result of the Company’s material breach of the its obligations pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Merger Agreement, the Company will be obligated to pay to Parent a termination fee equal to approximately $44.2 million in cash. For more details see the section of this proxy statement captioned “The Merger Agreement—Company Termination Fee.”

Q.	Are there risks I should consider in deciding how to vote on the Merger?

Yes. You should read carefully this proxy statement in its entirety, including the factors discussed in the section of this proxy statement entitled “Risk Factors.”

Q.	What vote is required to approve the Merger Proposal?

The affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Company Shares represented at the meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), in person, by proxy or by electronic voting, and actually voting on the proposal, excluding abstentions and broker non‑votes, is required to approve the Merger Proposal. The foregoing majority must be achieved after excluding any votes on account of Company Shares held by Parent, Merger Sub or any other Parent Affiliate, if any.

You may vote either “FOR” or “against” the Merger Proposal, or you may abstain. The ICL requires that each shareholder voting on the Merger Proposal indicate whether or not the shareholder is a Parent Affiliate. The enclosed proxy card includes a box you must mark to indicate whether or not you are a Parent Affiliate with regards to the Merger Proposal by voting on Item 1a of the proxy card. A selection of “YES” confirms that you ARE NOT a Parent Affiliate and a selection of “NO” confirms that you are a Parent Affiliate.

If you indicate that you are a Parent Affiliate or fail to make a selection as to whether or not you are a Parent Affiliate with regards to the Merger Proposal, your vote will NOT be counted with respect to the Merger Proposal.

Q.	What vote is required to approve the Adjournment Proposal, the Director Re-election Proposal and the Auditor Re-appointment Proposal?

The affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Company Shares represented at the meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), in person, by proxy or by electronic voting, and actually voting on the proposal (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes) is required to approve each of the Adjournment Proposal, the Director Re-election Proposal and the Auditor Re-appointment Proposal.

You may vote either “FOR” or “against” the above proposals, or you may abstain.

Q.	What vote is required to approve the CEO Compensation Proposal?

The approval of the CEO Compensation Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Company Shares represented at the meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), in person, by proxy or by electronic voting, and actually voting on the proposal (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes), is required to approve the CEO Compensation Proposal. In addition to the foregoing majority, one of the following additional voting requirements must be achieved:

(i)

a majority of the shares that are voted at the meeting in favor of the CEO Compensation Proposal, excluding abstentions, includes a majority of the votes of shareholders present and voting who are not controlling shareholders or do not have a personal interest in the approval of the proposal (each controlling shareholder or shareholder with a personal interest, an “Interested Shareholder”); or

(ii)

A “controlling shareholder” is defined as any shareholder that has the ability to direct the Company’s activities (other than by means of being a director or office holder (as defined in the Companies Law) of the Company), including, with respect to the CEO Compensation Proposal, 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. 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 by the Company’s shareholders will be considered to be joint holders. A person is presumed to be a controlling shareholder if it holds or controls, by itself or together with others, one half or more of any one of the “means of control” of the Company. “Means of control” is defined as any one of the following: (i) the right to vote at a general meeting of the Company’s shareholders, or (ii) the right to appoint directors of the Company or its chief executive officer.

A “personal interest” of a shareholder in an action or transaction of a company (i) includes a personal interest of any of the shareholder’s relative (i.e., spouse, brother or sister, parent, grandparent, child as well as child, brother, sister or parent of such shareholder’s spouse or the spouse of any of the above) or an interest of a company with respect to which the shareholder or the shareholder’s relative (as detailed above) holds 5% or more of such company’s issued shares or voting rights, in which any such person has the right to appoint a director or the chief executive officer or in which any such person serves as a director or the chief executive officer, including the personal interest of a person voting pursuant to a proxy whether or not the proxy grantor has a personal interest; and (ii) excludes an interest arising solely from the ownership of ordinary shares of the Company.

You may vote either “FOR” or “against” the CEO Compensation Proposal, or you may abstain.

Q.	How many shares must be present or represented to conduct business at the meeting (i.e., what constitutes a quorum)?

The presence (in person or by proxy) of any two or more shareholders (not in default in payment of any sum referred to in Article 13 of the Articles) holding, in the aggregate, Company Shares representing at least 25% of the voting power of the Company constitutes a quorum for purposes of the meeting.

Q.	What happens if a quorum is not present?

In the absence of the requisite quorum of the Company’s shareholders at the meeting within half an hour from the time fixed for commencement thereof, then, without any further notice, the meeting will be adjourned (i) to the following week (to the same day, time and place), (ii) to such day and at such time and place as indicated in the notice of such meeting, or (iii) to such day (which day may be earlier or later than the day pursuant to clause (i) above) and at such time and place the chairperson of the meeting shall determine. At such adjourned meeting, if a quorum is not present, the Company’s shareholders present, in person, by proxy or by electronic voting, will constitute a quorum. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the meeting cannot be adjourned for more than five business days and cannot be postponed to later than the date that is ten business days after the date for which the meeting was originally scheduled without the prior written consent of Parent.

Q.	What is the difference between holding Company Shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

A.	As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

Shareholders of Record. If your Company Shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company LLC, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record, and proxy materials are being sent directly to you by us. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to vote in person at the meeting or direct the proxyholder how to vote your Company Shares on your behalf at the meeting by fully completing, signing and dating the enclosed proxy card and returning it to us in the enclosed postage paid return envelope, to be received by the Company’s proxy tabulator, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., located at 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717 by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on August 6, 2024 (i.e., 6:59 a.m. Israel Time on August 7, 2024), or if sent to the Company’s Israeli registered office, to be physically delivered no later than 5:00 p.m. Israel Time on August 6, 2024 (i.e., 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on August 6, 2024).

Beneficial Owners. If your Company Shares are held through a broker, bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and proxy materials are being forwarded to you together with a voting instruction form. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, trustee or nominee to vote your Company Shares as you instruct in the voting instruction form. If you hold Company Shares through a broker, trustee or nominee, you may also vote in person at the meeting, but only after you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, trustee or nominee that holds your Company Shares and an account statement showing ownership of your Company Shares as of the Record Date, giving you the right to vote your Company Shares at the meeting. Your broker, trustee or nominee has enclosed or provided a voting instruction form for you to use in directing the broker, trustee or nominee how to vote your Company Shares.

Q.	May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

A.	Yes. You may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time prior to the vote at the meeting.

Shareholders of Record: If you are a shareholder of record, you may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the meeting by (1) signing another proxy card with a later date and returning it to the Company’s proxy tabulator, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., located at 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717 by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on August 6, 2024 (i.e., 6:59 a.m. Israel Time on August 7, 2024), or physically delivering it to the Company’s Israeli registered office by no later than 5:00 p.m. Israel Time on August 6, 2024 (i.e., 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on August 6, 2024); (2) submitting a new proxy electronically over the Internet or by telephone after the date of the earlier submitted proxy and prior to the meeting; (3) delivering a written notice of revocation to our Corporate Secretary prior to the meeting; or (4) attending the meeting and voting in person at the meeting. If you wish to change your vote by mail, you should contact our Proxy Solicitor at the address set forth below and request a new proxy card or voting instruction form.

Beneficial Owners: If you hold your Company Shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee on Nasdaq, in order to change your voting instructions, you must follow the relevant directions from your broker, bank, or other nominee, and must do so prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on August 6, 2024. You may also vote in person at the meeting if you obtain a “legal proxy” from your bank, broker or other nominee and an account statement showing ownership of your Company Shares as of the Record Date.

Q.	What is a proxy?

A proxy is a document by which you authorize a person to be your representative at a meeting of the Company and to vote for you at that meeting of shareholders in the way that you have directed. That document is called a “proxy card” or, if your Company Shares are held in street name and you give instructions to the record holder of your Company Shares, is called a “voting instruction form.”

This proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card or voting instruction form is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of proxies for use at the meeting and at any adjournments or postponements of the meeting. We are mailing this proxy statement and a proxy card to our shareholders on or around July 1, 2024. Hagit Ynon, our Chief Financial Officer, and Paul Shinn, our General Counsel, with full power of substitution, are the proxy holders for the meeting.

Q.	What should I do if I receive more than one proxy card or voting instruction form?

You may receive more than one set of these proxy solicitation materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction forms. Please complete, sign, date and return all proxy cards and voting instruction forms you receive, or vote each group of Company Shares by mail, telephone or over the Internet to ensure that all your Company Shares are voted. For example, if you hold your Company Shares in more than one brokerage account, you may receive a separate voting instruction form for each brokerage account in which you hold Company Shares. In addition, if you are a shareholder of record and your Company Shares are registered in more than one name, you may receive more than one proxy card.

Q.	Where can I find the voting results of the meeting?

The Company intends to publish final voting results in a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K to be furnished to the SEC following the meeting. All reports that the Company files or furnishes with the SEC are publicly available when filed or furnished. See the section of this proxy statement captioned “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Q.	Will the per share merger consideration payable to me be subject to Israeli capital gains tax?

As a general rule, Israeli resident shareholders are subject to Israeli capital gains tax on the per share merger consideration. Non-Israeli resident shareholders who acquired their Company Shares prior to June 16, 2021 (the date on which these shares were registered for trading on Nasdaq) and who do not qualify for an exemption from Israeli capital gains tax under the Ordinance (as defined below) and regulations promulgated thereunder or an applicable tax treaty to which the State of Israel is a party (subject to the receipt in advance of a valid certificate from the ITA allowing for an exemption), including the Convention Between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the State of Israel with Respect to Taxes on Income (the “Treaty”) described in this proxy statement, may be subject to Israeli capital gains tax on the disposition of their Company Shares in the Merger. Such shareholders, as well as shareholders who were Israeli residents in the past, should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the Merger to them.

Non-Israeli resident shareholders who have acquired their Company Shares after such shares were registered for trading (i.e., after the Company Shares were listed for trading on Nasdaq on June 16, 2021) are generally exempt from Israeli capital gains tax (subject to delivery to the paying agent of the relevant documentation as instructed in the tax ruling discussed below or the receipt in advance of a valid certificate from the ITA), unless such shareholders have a permanent establishment in Israel or, for shares traded on stock exchanges outside of Israel, the particular capital gain is subject to the Israeli Income Tax Law (Inflationary Adjustments) 5745 1985.

Q.	Will the per share merger consideration payable to me be subject to Israeli tax withholding?

According to Israeli law, unless it is provided with an exemption certificate issued by the ITA, Parent is required to withhold Israeli taxes from the per share merger consideration even if you are not subject to Israeli capital gains tax. We intend to submit an application to the ITA in order to clarify the withholding mechanism. As part of the application, we intend to request that non-Israeli shareholders who hold less than 5% of the outstanding Company Shares and which were purchased after June 16, 2021 (the date on which the Company listed its shares on Nasdaq) be exempt from withholding to the extent that such shareholders provide the paying agent with certain declarations and documents regarding their residency and the date on which the Company Shares were purchased. We cannot assure you that our application will be accepted.

Q.	Will U.S. Holders be subject to U.S. federal income tax upon the exchange of Company Shares for cash pursuant to the Merger?

If you are a U.S. Holder, the exchange of the Company Shares for cash pursuant to the Merger will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Generally, a U.S. Holder will recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash it receives pursuant to the Merger and its aggregate adjusted tax basis in Company Shares that it exchanges for such cash. For more details, see “The Merger—U.S. Federal and Israeli Income Tax Consequences of the Merger—U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.”

Q.	What will the holders of Company Equity Awards receive in the Merger?

A. Company Options

At the Effective Time, each Unvested Cashed-Out Company Option will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive from the Surviving Company (except for consideration paid with respect to Unvested Cashed-Out Company Options that are Section 102 Awards and Section 3(i) Awards, which will be paid through the 102 Trustee) per Company Share subject to such Unvested Cashed-Out Company Option a cash amount equal to the excess, if any, of the per share merger consideration over the applicable per share exercise price for such Unvested Cashed-Out Company Option, which will be payable subject to the same vesting terms that applied to such Unvested Cashed-Out Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (except that Parent may, in its sole discretion, adjust the original vesting dates scheduled to occur following the Effective Time to align with the next March 10, June 10, September 10 and December 10 date following each such original vesting date).

Any payments made with respect to Company Options will be subject to all applicable tax withholding requirements under applicable law and any tax ruling, if obtained.

Company RSU Awards

At the Effective Time, each Unvested Company RSU Award and held by a continuing employee or continuing service provider (other than an Israeli RSU Award) will be assumed by Parent and converted into an Assumed RSU Award covering a number of ordinary shares of Parent, rounded down to the nearest whole share, determined by multiplying (a) the number of Company Shares that were subject to such Unvested Company RSU Award by (b) the quotient of (i) the per share merger consideration divided by (ii) Parent Share Price, subject to the PSU Award Treatment, if applicable, which Assumed RSU Award may be settled in cash at the sole discretion of Parent.

At the Effective Time, each Israeli RSU Award will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive through the 102 Trustee a cash amount per Company Share subject to such Unvested Company RSU Award equal to the per share merger consideration, subject to the PSU Award Treatment, if applicable.

At the Effective Time, each Unvested Company RSU Award that is held by an individual who is not a continuing employee or continuing service provider will be cancelled without consideration therefor.

Any payments made with respect to Company RSU Awards will be subject to all applicable tax withholding requirements under applicable law and any tax ruling, if obtained.

For a description of the PSU Award Treatment, see the section of this proxy statement captioned “The Merger Agreement—Treatment of Company Equity Awards.”

Company ESPP

Prior to the Effective Time and contingent upon the occurrence of the closing of the Merger, the Company will terminate the Company ESPP effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and provide, with respect to the offering or purchase period (if any) under the Company ESPP that is in effect on the date of the Merger Agreement, that all outstanding purchase rights outstanding under the Company ESPP will be automatically exercised on a date no later than ten days prior to the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of the Company ESPP. In addition, with respect to the Company ESPP, (i) no new offering or purchase periods shall commence after the date of the Merger Agreement, (ii) no new participants shall be permitted after the date of the Merger Agreement and (iii) existing participants shall be restricted from increasing their payroll deduction elections in effect as of the date of the Merger Agreement.

All of the amounts described in this section will be subject to any applicable withholding taxes and deduction.

For more details on the treatment of Company equity awards in the Merger please refer to the section captioned “The Merger Agreement—Treatment of Company Equity Awards” on page 75.

Q.	When do you expect the Merger to be completed?

The Merger has been approved by the boards of directors of Parent, the Company and Merger Sub and we are working towards completing the Merger as quickly as reasonably possible. Several conditions must be satisfied or waived before the Merger is completed. See the section of this document titled “The Merger Agreement—Conditions to the Closing of the Merger” for further information. The Company anticipates that the Merger will likely be completed in 2024. However, the exact timing of completion of the Merger cannot be predicted because the Merger is subject to the closing conditions specified in the Merger Agreement, including the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, many of which are outside of our control.

Q.	Am I entitled to appraisal rights?

A.	No. Under Israeli law, holders of Company Shares are not entitled to statutory appraisal rights in connection with the Merger.

Q.	Do any of the Company’s directors or officers have any interests in the Merger?

Yes. Our directors and executive officers may have interests in the Merger that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. The Board was aware of these interests during its deliberations on the merits of the Merger and in deciding to recommend that shareholders vote in favor of the Merger Proposal. These interests are described in more detail under the caption “The Merger—Interests of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger.”

Q.	Who can help answer my questions?

A.	If you have any questions concerning the Merger, the meeting or the accompanying proxy statement, would like additional copies of the accompanying proxy statement or need help voting your Company Shares, please contact our Proxy Solicitor:

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD‑LOOKING STATEMENTS

This proxy statement, including the information and other documents incorporated by reference into this proxy statement, contains or incorporates by reference or may contain or may incorporate by reference “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other applicable securities laws. All statements other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding the proposed acquisition of the Company by Parent, the expected timing for completing the proposed Transactions and the terms thereof, future financial and operating results, benefits and synergies of the Transactions, future opportunities for the combined businesses and any other statements regarding events or developments that may occur in the future, may be “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws. These forward-looking statements, involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect the financial or operating results of Parent, the Company or the combined company. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “targets,” “would,” “will,” “should,” “may” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on management’s expectations as of the date they are first made, are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.

Neither Parent nor the Company can give any assurances that the expectations in such forward-looking statements will be attained and, therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. For example, these forward-looking statements could be affected by factors including, without limitation, risks associated with:

•

the ability to consummate the proposed Transactions, the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the consummation of the proposed Transactions, including the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, and the timing of the closing of the proposed Transactions;

•

the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the proposed Transactions;

•

the potential that the Company’s shareholders may not approve the Transactions;

•

the ability to successfully integrate operations and employees;

•

potential litigation related to the Transactions or otherwise;

•

the ability to realize anticipated benefits and synergies of the proposed Transactions as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial analysts or investors;

•

the potential impact of the announcement of the proposed Transactions on operating results, business generally and business relationships, including with employees, customers, partners, suppliers and competitors;

•

unanticipated restructuring costs that may be incurred or undisclosed liabilities assumed;

•

actual or threatened legal proceedings that have been or may be instituted against Parent or the Company in connection with the proposed Transactions or otherwise;

•

the ability and costs related to retaining key personnel and clients;

•

diverting management’s attention from ongoing business operations;

•

delays, challenges, costs, fees, expenses and charges related to the proposed Transactions;

•

actions by competitors;

•

general adverse economic, political, social and security conditions in the regions and industries in which Parent and the Company operate, including relating to Israel’s ongoing war with Hamas and other terrorist organizations in the Middle East and general hostilities;

•

exposure to inflation, currency rate and interest rate fluctuations and risks associated with doing business locally and internationally, as well as fluctuations in the market price of Parent and the Company’s traded securities;

•

natural catastrophes, any pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of infectious disease, warfare, protests and riots, cybersecurity attack or ransomware request and terrorist attacks; and

•

those additional risks and factors discussed below under the section entitled “Risk Factors” and in reports filed or furnished with the SEC by the Company, including the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F and any subsequent reports on Form 6-K, each of which is on file with or furnished to the SEC and available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Reports filed or furnished with the SEC by the Company are available on the Company’s website at ir.walkme.com. Moreover, other risks and uncertainties of which Parent or the Company are not currently aware or may not currently consider material may also affect each of the companies’ forward-looking statements and may cause actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from those anticipated. The forward-looking statements made in this proxy statement are made only as of the date hereof or as of the dates indicated in the forward-looking statements, even if they are subsequently made available by Parent or the Company on their respective websites or otherwise. Neither Parent nor the Company undertakes any obligation to update or supplement any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, new information, future events, changes in its expectations or other circumstances that exist after the date as of which the forward-looking statements were made.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information included in this proxy statement, including the matters addressed under the caption titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” you should carefully consider the following risk factors in determining how to vote at the meeting. The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risks related to the Merger and you should read and consider the risk factors described under Part I, Item 3.D, “Key Information—Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20‑F for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 18, 2024, and incorporated by reference into this proxy statement.

The Merger may not be completed, due to the failure of the parties to achieve or obtain waiver of the closing conditions or otherwise; such a failure could negatively impact our share price, business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

•

the approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions by the requisite affirmative vote of the Company’s shareholders;

•

no governmental authority in any competent jurisdiction has by any law or order restrained, enjoined or otherwise prohibited the consummation of the Merger;

•

(1) expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period (or extension thereof) under the HSR Act and other specified regulatory laws; and (2) the receipt of any waiting period, clearance, waiver or affirmative approval of the applicable governmental authority having been obtained and remaining in effect under the applicable antitrust laws in Cyprus, Germany and, if required, the United Kingdom;

•

at least 50 days shall have elapsed after the filing of the Merger Proposal with the Companies Registrar and at least 30 days shall have elapsed after receipt of the requisite approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions by the Company’s shareholders; and

•

No assurance can be given that each of the closing conditions will be satisfied or waived. In addition, the Merger Agreement may be terminated under the circumstances described in the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—Termination of the Merger Agreement.” If the conditions are not satisfied or waived in a timely manner and the Merger is delayed, payment of the per share merger consideration will also be delayed.

If the Merger is not completed (including in the case where the Merger Agreement is terminated), our ongoing business may be adversely affected. Under such a scenario, our directors, senior management, and other employees will have expended extensive time and effort and will have experienced significant distractions from their work, and we will have incurred significant transaction costs, during the pendency of a failed transaction. In addition, our continuing business relationships with business partners and employees, and the market’s perceptions of our prospects, could be adversely affected, which could have a material adverse impact on our ongoing business and the trading price of the Company’s Shares.

We could also be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the Merger. If these risks materialize, our financial condition, results of operations or prospects could be materially adversely affected.

Some of our directors and officers have interests that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of our shareholders, and these persons may have conflicts of interest in recommending that our shareholders approve the Merger Proposal.

Certain of the Company’s officers and directors may have interests in the Transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement that may be different from, or in addition to, those of the Company’s other shareholders, which interests are described in the section entitled “The Merger—Interests of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger.” These interests include, among other things, the rights to accelerated vesting of equity awards, entitlement to certain severance payments and benefits in the event of certain terminations of employment, indemnification and insurance and certain payments and benefits provisions contained in or permitted by the Merger Agreement.

The fact that the Merger is pending could materially harm our business and results of operations.

While the Merger is pending, we are subject to a number of risks that may harm our business and results of operations, including, among others:

•

the diversion of management and employee attention from implementing our growth strategy in our existing markets or in new markets that we are targeting;

•

potential diversion of public attention from our positioning of our brand and products in a manner that appeals to new and existing customers;

•

the fact that we have and will continue to incur expenses related to the Merger prior to its closing;

•

our potential inability to respond effectively to competitive pressures, industry developments, and future opportunities, in particular, given the restrictions on the conduct of the Company’s business during the interim period between signing and closing of the Merger due to the pre‑closing covenants in the Merger Agreement;

•

the fact that we could be subject to costly litigation associated with the Merger; and

•

our current and prospective employees may be uncertain about their future roles and relationships with the Company following completion of the Merger, which may adversely affect our ability to attract and retain key personnel.

Our obligation to pay a termination fee under certain circumstances and the restrictions on our ability to solicit or engage in negotiations with respect to other potential acquisition proposals may discourage other potential transactions that may be more favorable to our shareholders.

Until the Merger is completed or the Merger Agreement is terminated, with certain limited exceptions, the Merger Agreement prohibits us from entering into, soliciting, encouraging or engaging in negotiations with respect to acquisition proposals or other business combinations. If the Company terminates the Merger Agreement in order to accept a Superior Proposal, the Company is required to pay to Parent a termination fee of approximately $44.2 million. The Company is also required to pay to Parent a termination fee of approximately $44.2 million under certain other circumstances as described in the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—Company Termination Fee” and set forth in the Merger Agreement.

If the Merger is not consummated by the Outside Date, either we or Parent may, under certain circumstances that may be beyond our control, choose not to proceed with the Merger.

The Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions described in the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—Conditions to the Closing of the Merger” and set forth in the Merger Agreement. The fulfillment of certain of these conditions is beyond our control, such as (i) the receipt of requisite approval from our shareholders of the Merger, (ii) the expiration or termination of the waiting period (or extension thereof) under the HSR Act, and (iii) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period, or, where applicable, the receipt of approvals, and the making or receipt of all notices to, filings with and consents under specified regulatory laws in Cyprus, Germany, and the United Kingdom. If the Merger has not been completed by the Outside Date, either the Company or Parent may terminate the Merger Agreement, notwithstanding the prior receipt of the requisite approval of the Merger by the Company’s shareholders, except that (1) the right to terminate the Merger Agreement will not be available to any party that is in material breach of the Merger Agreement and has caused, or resulted in, the Merger to not be completed on or prior to the Outside Date and (2) where Required Clearances have not been obtained, but all of the other closing conditions capable of being satisfied have been satisfied or waived, Parent may, in its sole discretion, extend the Outside Date for an additional period of 90 days following the Outside Date. For more information on the Outside Date, please see the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—Termination of the Merger Agreement.”

Our shareholders could file lawsuits in the future challenging the Merger, which may delay or prevent the Closing, incur substantial defense or settlement costs, or otherwise adversely affect the Company.

As of the date of this proxy statement, there are no pending lawsuits challenging the Merger. However, potential plaintiffs may file lawsuits challenging the Merger. The outcome of any future litigation is uncertain. Such litigation, if not resolved, could prevent or delay completion of the Merger and result in substantial costs to the Company, including any costs associated with the indemnification of directors and officers. One of the conditions to the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) is the absence of any provision of applicable law or order by any governmental entity of a competent jurisdiction that has the effect of restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Merger and is continuing and remains in effect. Therefore, if a plaintiff were successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the consummation of the Merger on the agreed‑upon terms, then such injunction may prevent the Merger from being completed, or from being completed with the expected timeframe. The defense or settlement of any lawsuit or claim that remains unresolved at the time the Merger is completed may adversely affect the Company’s business, financial conditions, results of operations and cash flows.

THE ANNUAL AND SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

General; Date; Time and Place

This document is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board for use at the meeting. The meeting will be held at the principal executive office of WalkMe, located at 1 Walter Moses St., Tel Aviv 6789903, Israel, on August 7, 2024 at 4:00 p.m. Israel Time (i.e., 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on August 7, 2024), unless it is postponed or adjourned.

Purpose of the Special and Annual General Meeting

The meeting will be held for the following purposes:

(1)

Merger Proposal. To approve (a) the Merger Agreement; (b) the Merger itself; (c) the per share merger consideration; (d) the treatment equity awards of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement; (e) the purchase of a prepaid “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy for a period of seven years commencing upon the closing of the Merger, as permitted under the Merger Agreement; and (f) all other transactions and arrangements contemplated by the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Merger Proposal”);

(2)

(3)

Director Re-election Proposal. To re-elect each of Jeff Horing, Ron Gutler and Haleli Barath as Class III directors, to hold office until the close of the Company’s annual general meeting of shareholders in 2027, and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or until their respective offices are vacated in accordance with the Articles or the Companies Law (the “Director Re-election Proposal”);

(4)

Auditor Re-appointment Proposal. To approve the re-appointment of Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer, a registered public accounting firm and a member of Ernst & Young Global, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2024 and until the Company’s next annual general meeting of shareholders, and to authorize the Board (with power of delegation to its audit committee) to set the fees to be paid to such auditors (the “Auditor Re-appointment Proposal”);

(5)

CEO Compensation Proposal. To approve equity awards granted to Mr. Dan Adika, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, on May 30, 2024, subject to requisite approval by the Company’s shareholders (the “CEO Compensation Proposal”, and, together with the Merger Proposal, Adjournment Proposal, Director Re-election Proposal and Auditor Re-appointment Proposal, the “proposals”);

Shareholders Entitled to Vote; Record Date

Only shareholders of record who held Company Shares as of the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to vote at the meeting. Shareholders who, as of the Record Date, held Company Shares in a stock brokerage account or through a bank, broker or other nominee which is a shareholder of record of the Company or which appears in the participant list of a securities depository, are considered to be beneficial owners of shares held in street name. These proxy materials are being forwarded to beneficial owners by their bank, broker or other nominee that is considered the holder of record. Beneficial owners have the right to direct how their shares should be voted and are also invited to attend the meeting, but may not vote their shares in person at the meeting without obtaining, prior to the meeting, a legal proxy from such bank, broker or other nominee that authorizes them to vote their shares, and an account statement showing that they held the shares in their account as of the Record Date.

Alternatively, all of the above-described categories of shareholders as of the Record Date may vote their shares or direct how their shares are voted in other methods without attending the meeting.

As of the Record Date, there were 93,902,391 Company Shares issued, outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting (including 31,250 of such Company Shares, that represent the vested portion of the 500,000 Company RSU Awards granted to Mr. Adika on May 30, 2024 subject to shareholder approval of the CEO Compensation Proposal as set forth below).

Quorum and Voting

Under the Articles, the meeting will be properly convened and a requisite quorum will be present if two or more shareholders (not in default in payment of any sum referred to in Article 13 of the Articles) attend the meeting in person or sign and return proxies, provided that they hold, in the aggregate, ordinary shares representing at least 25% of our voting power. If such quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting, then, without any further notice, the meeting will be adjourned (i) to the following week (to the same day, time and place), (ii) to such day and at such time and place as indicated in the notice of such meeting, or (iii) to such day (which day may be earlier or later than the day pursuant to clause (i) above) and at such time and place the chairperson of the meeting shall determine. At such adjourned meeting, the presence of at least one or more shareholders in person or by proxy (regardless of the voting power represented by their ordinary shares) will constitute a quorum.

Banks, brokers and other nominees who hold Company Shares in “street name” for clients typically have authority to vote on “routine” proposals even when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners, absent specific instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares to the contrary. However, banks, brokers and other nominees are not allowed to exercise their voting discretion with respect to the approval of non-routine matters. All proposals presented in this proxy statement, including the Merger Proposal, are considered to be non-routine matters, except for the Auditor Re-appointment Proposal. On the Merger Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal, the Director Re-election Proposal and the CEO Compensation Proposal, if a beneficial owner does not provide instructions to his, her or its bank, broker or other nominee, the shares will not be voted (referred to as a “broker non-vote”). Broker non-votes and abstentions will be treated as neither a vote “for” nor “against” any matter, although they will be included in determining whether a quorum is present.

Each Company Share is entitled to one vote on the proposals. If two or more persons are registered as joint holders of any Company Share, the right to attend the meeting will be conferred upon each of such joint owners, but the right to vote at the meeting and/or the right to be counted as part of the quorum thereat will be conferred exclusively upon the more senior among the joint holders attending the meeting, in person or by proxy. For this purpose, seniority will be determined by the order in which the names appear in the Company’s shareholder register.

For additional information about how to vote your Company Shares at the Meeting, see “Questions and Answers—How may I vote?” on page 14.

Voting Results

The preliminary voting results will be announced at the meeting. The final voting results will be tallied by the Company’s corporate secretary based on the information provided by our proxy tabulator, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., and will be published following the meeting on a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K furnished to the SEC.

The Proxy

Ms. Hagit Ynon, Chief Financial Officer, and Mr. Paul Shinn, General Counsel, with full power of substitution, will serve as proxy for shareholders of the Company under the enclosed form of proxy with respect to the matter to be voted upon at the meeting.

Vote Required for Approval of Each of the Proposals

The Merger Proposal

The approval of the Merger Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Company Shares represented at the meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), in person, by proxy or by electronic voting, and actually voting on the Merger Proposal (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes). The foregoing majority must be achieved after excluding any votes of the Company Shares held by (a) Parent, Merger Sub or any person or entity holding, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the total outstanding voting power of Parent or Merger Sub, or the right to appoint 25% or more of the directors of Parent or Merger Sub; (b) a person or entity acting on behalf of Parent, Merger Sub or a person or entity described in clause (a) above; or (c) a family member of, or an entity controlled by, Parent, Merger Sub or any of the foregoing. Each of (a), (b) and (c) above are referred to as a “Parent Affiliate.” In order for your vote to count in respect of the Merger Proposal, you must affirm in your proxy card or voting instruction form that you are not a Parent Affiliate (by indicating “YES” in Item 1a of the proxy card or voting instruction form). If you do not so affirm, your vote will not count towards the tally for the Merger Proposal.

The Adjournment Proposal

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Company Shares represented at the meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), in person, by proxy or by electronic voting, and actually voting on the Adjournment Proposal (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes).

The Director Re-election Proposal

The approval of the Director Re-election Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Company Shares represented at the meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), in person, by proxy or by electronic voting, and actually voting on the Director Re-election Proposal (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes).

The Auditor Re-appointment Proposal

The approval of the Auditor Re-appointment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Company Shares represented at the meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), in person, by proxy or by electronic voting, and actually voting on the Auditor Re-appointment Proposal (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes).

The CEO Compensation Proposal

The approval of the CEO Compensation Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Company Shares represented at the meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), in person, by proxy or by electronic voting, and actually voting on the CEO Compensation Proposal (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes). In addition to the foregoing majority, one of the following additional voting requirements must be achieved:

(i)

a majority of the shares that are voted at the meeting in favor of the CEO Compensation Proposal, excluding abstentions, includes a majority of the votes of shareholders present and voting who are not controlling shareholders or do not have a personal interest in the approval of the proposal (each controlling shareholder or shareholder with a personal interest, an “Interested Shareholder”); or

(ii)

A “controlling shareholder” is defined as any shareholder that has the ability to direct the Company’s activities (other than by means of being a director or office holder (as defined in the Companies Law) of the Company), including, with respect to the CEO Compensation Proposal, 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. 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 by the Company’s shareholders will be considered to be joint holders. A person is presumed to be a controlling shareholder if it holds or controls, by itself or together with others, one half or more of any one of the “means of control” of the Company. “Means of control” is defined as any one of the following: (i) the right to vote at a general meeting of the Company’s shareholders, or (ii) the right to appoint directors of the Company or its chief executive officer.

A “personal interest” of a shareholder in an action or transaction of a company (i) includes a personal interest of any of the shareholder’s relative (i.e., spouse, brother or sister, parent, grandparent, child as well as child, brother, sister or parent of such shareholder’s spouse or the spouse of any of the above) or an interest of a company with respect to which the shareholder or the shareholder’s relative (as detailed above) holds 5% or more of such company’s issued shares or voting rights, in which any such person has the right to appoint a director or the chief executive officer or in which any such person serves as a director or the chief executive officer, including the personal interest of a person voting pursuant to a proxy whether or not the proxy grantor has a personal interest; and (ii) excludes an interest arising solely from the ownership of ordinary shares of the Company.

Other than entities affiliated with Insight Partners, who are deemed for purposes of the CEO Compensation Proposal to be controlling shareholders, we do not believe we have a controlling shareholder as of the Record Date of the meeting, and therefore, we believe that none of our other shareholders (except for Mr. Adika) should have a personal interest in the CEO Compensation Proposal and be deemed an Interested Shareholder.

Share Ownership of Our Directors and Executive Officers

As of the Record Date for the meeting, directors and executive officers of the Company beneficially owned, in the aggregate, approximately 23% of the outstanding Company Shares. For beneficial ownership of Company Shares by the Company’s directors and executive officers, including how beneficial ownership was calculated, see the section entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Directors and Officers” beginning on page 99 of this proxy statement.

Solicitation of Proxies

In addition to solicitation by mail, directors, officers and employees of the Company may solicit proxies for the meeting from the Company’s shareholders personally or by telephone, facsimile and other electronic means without compensation other than reimbursement for their actual expenses. Arrangements also will be made with bankers, brokers and other nominees and fiduciaries for the forwarding of solicitation material to the beneficial owners of Company Shares held of record by those persons, and the Company will, if requested, reimburse the record holders for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in doing so.

The Company has retained D.F. King & Co., Inc., a proxy solicitation firm (the “proxy solicitor”), to perform various solicitation services in connection with the meeting of shareholders. The Company will pay the proxy solicitor a customary fee, plus phone and other related expenses, in connection with its solicitation services. The proxy solicitor has engaged certain of its employees to assist us in connection with the solicitation of proxies.

Attending WalkMe’s Special and Annual General Meeting

Only the Company’s shareholders, including joint holders, who held shares of record as of the close of business on the Record Date and other persons holding valid proxies for the meeting are entitled to attend and vote at the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. All shareholders and their proxies should be prepared to present a valid photo identification. In addition, if you are a registered holder, your name is subject to verification against the list of registered holders on the Record Date prior to being admitted to the meeting. The Company’s shareholders who are not registered holders but hold shares in a stock brokerage account or through a bank, broker or other nominee in “street name” (a “street name holder”) and wish to attend the meeting should be prepared to provide proof of beneficial ownership as of the Record Date, such as a recent account statement as of the Record Date, or similar evidence of ownership. A street name holder who wishes to vote his, her or its Company Shares at the meeting will be required to present a “legal proxy” from the bank, broker or other nominee through which the shares are held and an account statement showing ownership of their Company Shares as of the Record Date. If you do not provide photo identification or the foregoing documentation, or comply with the other procedures outlined above upon request, you will not be admitted to the meeting.

PROPOSAL 1: THE MERGER PROPOSAL

Background

We are asking you to approve the acquisition of the Company by Parent, including the approval of (a) the Merger Agreement, by and among Parent, Merger Sub and the Company, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, and the Company will be the Surviving Company and will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent; (b) the Merger itself; (c) the consideration to be received by the shareholders of the Company in the Merger, consisting of $14.00 per share in cash, without interest, subject to adjustments under the Merger Agreement and less any applicable withholding taxes, for each Company Share owned immediately prior to the Effective Time; (d) treatment of equity awards of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement; (e) purchase of a prepaid “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy for a period seven year commencing upon the closing of the Merger, as permitted under the Merger Agreement; and (f) all other transactions and arrangements contemplated by the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement.

For a summary of and detailed information regarding this proposal, see the information about the Merger Proposal, the Merger Agreement and the Merger throughout this proxy statement, including the information set forth in the sections captioned “The Merger” and “The Merger Agreement” of this proxy statement. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A. You are urged to read the Merger Agreement carefully in its entirety.

The Proposed Resolution

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

“RESOLVED, to approve the acquisition of WalkMe by SAP SE, a European stock corporation (Societas Europaea) under the laws of Germany and the European Union (“Parent”), including the approval of: (a) the Merger Agreement, dated as of June 4, 2024 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Parent and Hummingbird Acquisition Corp Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”); (b) the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company in accordance with Sections 314-327 of the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the “ICL”), following which Merger Sub will cease to exist as a separate legal entity and the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”); (c) the consideration to be received by the shareholders of WalkMe in the Merger, consisting of $14.00 per share in cash, without interest, subject to adjustment under the Merger Agreement and less any applicable withholding taxes, for each ordinary share, no par value, of WalkMe (each, a “Company Shares”) owned immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “per share merger consideration”); (d) the treatment of equity awards of WalkMe in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement; (e) the purchase of a prepaid “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy for a period of seven years commencing upon the closing of the Merger, as permitted under the Merger Agreement; and (f) all other transactions and arrangements contemplated by the Merger Agreement.”

Vote Required

Under applicable law, we cannot complete the Merger without the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the outstanding voting power of the Company represented at the meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof) in person, or by proxy or by electronic voting or actually voting in favor of the Merger Proposal (excluding abstentions and broker non‑votes). The foregoing majority must be achieved after excluding any votes on account of Company Shares held by (a) Parent, Merger Sub or any person or entity holding, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the voting power or the right to appoint 25% or more of the directors of Parent or Merger Sub, (b) a person or entity acting on behalf of Parent, Merger Sub or a person or entity described in clause (a) above, or (c) a family member of an individual contemplated by either of clause (a) or (b) above, or an entity controlled by, Parent, Merger Sub or either of the foregoing (any person or entity described in clauses (a) through (c), a “Parent Affiliate”).

The enclosed proxy card provides that you may indicate whether or not you are a Parent Affiliate with regards to Proposal 1 by voting on Item 1a of the proxy card. A selection of “YES” confirms that you are NOT a Parent Affiliate, and a selection of “NO” confirms that you are a Parent Affiliate.

If you indicate that you are a Parent Affiliate with regards to this Proposal 1 or fail to make a selection as to whether or not you are a Parent Affiliate with regards to Proposal 1, your vote will NOT be counted with respect to this Proposal 1.

For additional information, please refer to the section of this proxy statement captioned “The Annual and Special General Meeting—Vote Required for Approval of Each of the Proposals.”

Board Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the Merger Proposal (Proposal 1).

PROPOSAL 2: ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

Background

We are asking you to approve a proposal to adjourn the meeting to a later date or dates if necessary or appropriate, including to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to approve the Merger Proposal at the time of the meeting. If shareholders approve the Adjournment Proposal, we could adjourn the meeting and any adjourned session of the meeting and use the additional time to solicit additional proxies, including proxies from shareholders that have previously returned properly executed proxies voting against approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions. Among other things, approval of the Adjournment Proposal could mean that, even if we had received proxies representing a sufficient number of votes against approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions such that the Merger Proposal would be defeated and a quorum is present, we could adjourn the meeting, with the prior written consent of Parent, without a vote on the approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions and seek to convince the holders of those shares to change their votes to votes in favor of approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions. If the Adjournment Proposal is approved and a quorum is present, the chairman of the meeting may recess and/or adjourn the meeting to a later time or date pursuant to the Articles. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the meeting cannot be adjourned for more than five business days at a time or ten business days in the aggregate after the date appointed for the meeting without the prior written consent of Parent.

The Proposed Resolution

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

“RESOLVED, to approve the adjournment of the meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, including to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to approve the Merger Proposal at the time of the meeting.”

Vote Required

Please refer to the section of this proxy statement captioned “The Annual and Special General Meeting—Vote Required for Approval of Each of the Proposals.”

Board Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal (Proposal 2).

PROPOSAL 3: DIRECTOR RE-ELECTION PROPOSAL

Background

Our Board currently has nine directors and is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms as follows:

	●	the Class I directors are Dan Adika, Roy Saar, Michael Risman and Menashe Ezra, and their terms expire at our annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2025;
	●	the Class II directors are Michele Bettencourt and Rory O’Driscoll, and their terms expire at our annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2026; and
	●	the Class III directors are Jeff Horing, Ron Gutler and Haleli Barath, and their terms expire at the meeting.

At each annual general meeting of our shareholders, the election or re-election of directors following the expiration of the term of office of the directors of that class will be for a term of office that expires on the date of the third annual general meeting following such election or re-election.

At the meeting, shareholders will be asked to re-elect Jeff Horing, Ron Gutler and Haleli Barath. Jeff Horing, Ron Gutler and Haleli Barath each qualify as an independent director under the Nasdaq listing standards. Ron Gutler serves as a member of our audit committee, compensation committee and nominating, governance and sustainability committee. Jeff Horing serves as a member of our nominating, governance and sustainability committee.

If re-elected at the meeting, each of Jeff Horing, Ron Gutler and Haleli Barath will serve until the 2027 annual general meeting of our shareholders, and until their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified, or until their respective offices are vacated in accordance with our Articles or the Companies Law. However, if the Merger is completed, the terms of all directors of the Company will end at the Effective Time, with the directors of Merger Sub as of immediately prior to the Effective Time becoming the directors of the Surviving Company.

In accordance with the Companies Law, each of Jeff Horing, Ron Gutler and Haleli Barath has certified to us that he or she meets all the requirements of the Companies Law for election as a director of a public company, and possesses the necessary qualifications and has sufficient time to fulfill his or her duties as a director of the Company, taking into account the size and special needs of the Company.

During 2023, each of the directors standing for re-election at the meeting attended 100% of our Board and Board committee meetings, as applicable.

The nominating, governance and sustainability committee of our Board recommended that each of Jeff Horing, Ron Gutler and Haleli Barath be re-elected at the meeting as a Class III director for a term to expire at the 2027 annual general meeting of our shareholders, and until their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified, or until their respective offices are vacated in accordance with our Articles or the Companies Law. Our Board unanimously approved this recommendation.

Biographical information concerning Jeff Horing, Ron Gutler and Haleli Barath is set forth below:

PROPOSAL 4: AUDITOR RE-APPOINTMENT PROPOSAL

Background

Our audit committee and Board have approved the appointment of Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer, a registered public accounting firm and a member of Ernst & Young Global, as our independent registered public accountants for the year ending December 31, 2024, subject to the requisite approval of our shareholders.

The shareholders are being asked to approve the re-appointment of Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer, a registered public accounting firm and a member of Ernst & Young Global, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2024 and until the Company’s next annual general meeting of shareholders, and to authorize the Board (with power of delegation to its audit committee) to set the fees to be paid to such auditors. However, if the Merger is completed, the appointment of Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer will, in coordination with Parent, be terminated after the Merger is completed.

The following table sets forth the total compensation that was paid by the Company and its subsidiaries to the Company’s independent auditors, Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer, a registered public accounting firm and a member of Ernst & Young Global, in each of the previous two fiscal years:

	Year ended December 31,
	2022		2023
	(in thousands)
Audit Fees	$	500	$	500
Audit Related Fees		-		4
Tax Fees		39		76
Total	$	539	$	580

Audit Fees

Audit fees for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 consisted of fees for professional services provided in connection with the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements and audit services that are normally provided by an independent registered public accounting firm in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those years.

Audit-Related Fees

Audit-related fees for the year ended December 31, 2023 consisted of fees for professional services provided in connection with the audit of our annual consolidated financial statement and audit services that are normally provided by an independent registered public accounting firm in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for that year.

Tax Fees

Tax fees for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 refer to professional services rendered by our auditors, which include ongoing tax advisory, tax compliance and tax consulting associated with transfer pricing.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The advance approval of the Audit Committee or members thereof, to whom approval authority has been delegated, is required for all audit and non-audit services provided by our auditors.

Our audit committee has adopted a pre-approval policy for the engagement of our independent accountant to perform certain audit and non-audit services. Pursuant to this policy, which is designed to assure that such engagements do not impair the independence of our auditors, the audit committee pre-approves annually a catalog of specific audit and non-audit services in the categories of audit services, audit-related services and tax services that may be performed by our independent accountants. Our audit committee pre-approved all the audit services and all of the non-audit services provided to us and to our subsidiaries since our pre-approval policy was adopted.

The Proposed Resolution

It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the meeting:

“RESOLVED, to approve the re-appointment of Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer, a registered public accounting firm and a member of Ernst & Young Global, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2024 and until the Company’s next annual general meeting of shareholders, and to authorize the Board (with power of delegation to its audit committee) to set the fees to be paid to such auditors.”

Vote Required

Please refer to the section of this proxy statement captioned “The Annual and Special General Meeting—Vote Required for Approval of Each of the Proposals.”

Board Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the Auditor Re-appointment Proposal (Proposal 4).

PROPOSAL 5: CEO COMPENSATION PROPOSAL

Background

Pursuant to the Companies Law, any arrangement between a company and its chief executive officer as pertaining to his or her terms of engagement must be approved by the compensation committee, the Board and the shareholders.

The compensation committee and the Board granted 500,000 Company RSU Awards to Mr. Adika, the Company’s chief executive officer, on May 30, 2024 subject to shareholder approval (the “Adika RSUs”), taking into consideration our compensation philosophy and the provisions of our currently effective compensation policy, which include, among other things, our commitment to ensuring that the Company’s chief executive officer’s compensation is structured in a way that links payment and performance and to align the interests of the chief executive officer of the Company with our interests and those of our shareholders and the current market dynamics.

This Proposal No. 5 may exceed the limitations of our currently effective compensation policy and is therefore subject to the additional approval requirements stipulated under the Companies Law, as further set forth in the section of this proxy statement captioned “The Annual and Special General Meeting—Vote Required for Approval of Each of the Proposals” above.

If approved by the shareholders at the meeting, the grant of the Adika RSUs on May 30, 2024 shall remain effective and will vest on a quarterly basis over a period of 48 months with a vesting commencement date of February 20, 2024. If the Adika RSUs are not approved by the shareholders at the meeting, the Adika RSU grant shall be null and void.

In the event that, prior to the completion of the vesting of the Adika RSUs, an acquisition of the Company or asset transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company (each, an “M&A Event”) occurs while Mr. Adika is employed by the Company and holds the position of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, then if the Adika RSUs are not assumed by the successor company in connection with such M&A Event, all unvested Adika RSUs will become fully earned and vested immediately prior to and contingent upon such M&A Event. Because the unvested Adika RSUs will be assumed by Parent in connection with the Merger, they will be treated as Company RSU Awards (see the section of this proxy statement captioned “The Merger Agreement—Treatment of Company Equity Awards”).

The Proposed Resolution

It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the 500,000 Company RSUs granted to Mr. Dan Adika, the Company’s chief executive officer, on May 30, 2024, subject to requisite approval by the Company’s shareholders, as described in the proxy statement, dated July 1, 2024, is hereby approved.”

Vote Required

Please refer to the section of this proxy statement captioned “The Annual and Special General Meeting—Vote Required for Approval of Each of the Proposals.”

Board Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the CEO Compensation Proposal (Proposal 5).

Hummingbird Acquisition Corp Ltd.

Merger Sub is a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel. Merger Sub is a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent that was formed on May 28, 2024, solely for the purpose of engaging in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Merger Sub has not engaged in any business activities other than in connection with its formation and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Effect of the Merger

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement and in accordance with the ICL, if the Merger is completed, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, and the Company will continue as the Surviving Company and become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. As a result of the Merger, the Company Shares will no longer be publicly traded and will be delisted from Nasdaq. In addition, the Company Shares will be deregistered under the Exchange Act, and the Company will no longer file periodic reports with the SEC. If the Merger is completed, you will not own any shares of the Surviving Company.

The Effective Time will occur upon the issuance by the Companies Registrar of a certificate evidencing the Merger in accordance with Section 323(5) of the ICL (the “Certificate of Merger”).

Effect on the Company if the Merger is Not Completed

If the Merger Agreement is not approved by the requisite vote of the Company’s shareholders or if the Merger is not completed for any other reason, the Company’s shareholders will not receive any merger consideration for their Company Shares. Instead, the Company will remain an independent public company, the Company Shares will continue to be listed and traded on Nasdaq and registered under the Exchange Act and the Company will continue to file periodic reports with the SEC. In addition, if the Merger is not completed, the Company expects that management will operate the business in a manner similar to that in which it is being operated today and that the Company’s shareholders will continue to be subject to the same risks and opportunities to which they are currently subject.

Furthermore, if the Merger is not completed, and depending on the circumstances that caused the Merger not to be completed, the price of the Company Shares may decline significantly. If that were to occur, it is uncertain when, if ever, the price of the Company Shares would return to the price at which the Company Shares trade as of the date of this proxy statement.

Accordingly, if the Merger is not completed, there can be no assurance as to the effect of these risks and opportunities or the future value of your Company Shares. If the Merger is not completed, the Board will continue to evaluate and review the Company’s business operations, strategic direction and capitalization, among other things, and will make such changes as are deemed appropriate. If the Merger Agreement is not approved by the requisite Company’s shareholders or if the Merger is not completed for any other reason, there can be no assurance that any other transaction acceptable to the Board will be offered or that the Company’s business, prospects or results of operations will not be adversely impacted.

In addition, the Company will be required to pay to Parent a termination fee of approximately $44.2 million if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances. For more information, please see the section captioned “The Merger Agreement—Company Termination Fee.”

Merger Consideration

Each Company Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Company Shares represented by Excluded Shares) will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, without interest, subject to adjustment under the Merger Agreement and less any applicable withholding taxes, the per share merger consideration. After the Merger is completed, you will have the right to receive the per share merger consideration, but you will no longer have any rights as a shareholder of the Company.

Background of the Merger

The Board, together with the Company’s management, regularly reviews and assesses the Company’s performance, future growth prospects, operational, business, capacity and financial plans and overall strategic direction and considers potential opportunities to strengthen the Company’s business and enhance shareholder value. These reviews have included consideration of whether the continued execution of the Company’s strategy as a stand‑alone company or possible strategic opportunities, joint ventures or combinations with a third party offered the best avenue to maximize shareholder value. Near the time of the Company’s initial public offering in June 2021, valuations in the software-as-a-service industry were at a historical high. In 2022 and 2023, valuations in the software-as-a-service industry experienced a global downturn and the trading price of the Company Shares also experienced a downturn. The strategic reviews of the Board and the Company’s management reflected their consideration of such industry trends and the downward movement of the trading price of the Company Shares.

On March 9, 2023, the Board received an unsolicited non-binding proposal from a private equity fund sponsor (“Sponsor A”) to acquire the Company for $14.50 to $15.50 in cash per outstanding Company Share (the “Sponsor A March 9 Proposal”), representing an approximately 45% to 55% premium over the closing price of the Company Shares of $10.00 per share on Nasdaq on March 9, 2023. On April 4, 2023, the Board held a meeting with certain representatives of the Company’s senior management and Meitar Law Offices, the Company’s Israeli legal counsel (“Meitar”). At this meeting, the Board discussed the unsolicited proposal and Mr. Dan Adika, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, led a discussion regarding (i) the advantages and disadvantages of remaining a public company, as viewed by the Company’s management at this time, and (ii) a comparable public companies analysis prepared by management. Representatives of the Company’s senior management and Meitar presented guidance on the conduct of a potential sale process, including an overview of the fiduciary duties of the Board in the context of a potential sale transaction. Following this discussion, the Board authorized the Company’s management to engage a financial advisor to evaluate the proposal and conduct outreach to other potential counterparties in connection with the Board’s evaluation of a potential acquisition of the Company.

On April 7, 2023, the Company began discussions with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“Morgan Stanley”) regarding Morgan Stanley serving as financial advisor to the Company in connection with a potential acquisition of the Company.

On April 20, 2023, the Board held a meeting with certain representatives of the Company’s senior management, Latham & Watkins LLP, the Company’s U.S. legal counsel (“Latham”), and Meitar. At this meeting, representatives of Latham and Meitar provided an overview to the Board of its fiduciary duties in the context of a potential sale transaction and representatives of the Company’s senior management provided an update on the potential sale process. At that time, the Board determined that a potential transaction could be effected through various alternative means, which could directly or indirectly have consequences for shareholders of the Company that may be different than the consequences to certain shareholders represented on the Board. Following this discussion and given the potential divergence of interests between certain Board members and the Company’s shareholders, the Board determined that it was in the best interests of the Company and the Company’s shareholders to form a Special Committee of the Board (the “Special Committee”) comprised of independent and disinterested directors to evaluate proposals for a potential acquisition of the Company. The Board determined that the Special Committee would have the authority to evaluate and negotiate a potential transaction and retain and supervise external advisors. Following such determination by the Board to form the Special Committee and authorize the Special Committee to evaluate and negotiate a potential transaction, Morgan Stanley proceeded to advise the Special Committee in connection with a potential acquisition of the Company.

Following the formation of the Special Committee on April 20, 2023, the Special Committee authorized Morgan Stanley to conduct outreach to various potential private equity fund and strategic acquirers to evaluate interest in a potential acquisition of the Company.

On April 28, 2023, at the direction of the Special Committee, representatives of Morgan Stanley requested that Sponsor A submit a revised proposal with an increased purchase price. Representatives of Sponsor A declined to submit a revised proposal at that time and requested that the Company provide additional diligence information in order to consider increasing its proposed purchase price. Between April 28, 2023 and July 31, 2023, the Company provided diligence information to Sponsor A with respect to the Company’s business.

On May 1, 2023, the Special Committee entered into an engagement letter with Morgan Stanley in connection with the potential acquisition of the Company on the terms approved by the Special Committee.

In the months following the Special Committee’s authorization to Morgan Stanley to conduct outreach related to the potential acquisition of the Company, Morgan Stanley conducted a process involving potential acquirers that the Special Committee deemed most likely to have an interest in an acquisition of the Company. During this time, Morgan Stanley met frequently with the Special Committee. As part of this process, Morgan Stanley identified to the Special Committee a variety of potential private equity fund and strategic acquirers for the Company. These potential acquirers were identified based on the likelihood of their interest in, and the ability to pursue, an acquisition of the Company. The Special Committee ultimately authorized Morgan Stanley to contact 10 private equity fund sponsors (including Sponsor A) concerning a potential acquisition of the Company. With respect to potential strategic acquirers, Morgan Stanley identified for the Special Committee a number of parties (including Parent) that might have an interest in pursuing an acquisition of the Company. After discussion with Morgan Stanley, the Special Committee focused on two of such strategic acquirers (one of which was Parent) (such acquirers, the “Most Likely Strategic Acquirers”), which were likely to have the greatest interest in an acquisition of the Company due to, among other things, strategic and product fit. In view of the existing partnership between Parent and the Company, the Special Committee concluded that the Company’s management should remain the primary interface with Parent, and that any acquisition discussions between Parent and the Company should arise, if at all, organically as a result of the interaction of the Company’s management with Parent. During this time, the Company did not inquire as to Parent’s interest in an acquisition of the Company and Parent did not express an interest in an acquisition of the Company, and Parent and the Company continued their existing partnership. Accordingly, the Special Committee did not include Parent among the parties contacted by Morgan Stanley as part of the Special Committee’s process. The Special Committee authorized Morgan Stanley to contact the other Most Likely Strategic Acquirer concerning its interest in an acquisition of the Company. After being contacted by Morgan Stanley, the other Most Likely Strategic Acquirer declined to pursue discussions concerning an acquisition of the Company.

Of the 10 private equity fund sponsors contacted by Morgan Stanley, eight (including Sponsor A) entered into non-disclosure agreements with the Company, received diligence materials regarding the Company’s business and participated in individual management presentations concerning the Company.

Of these eight private equity fund sponsors that entered into non-disclosure agreements with the Company, four declined to pursue discussions concerning an acquisition of the Company following the respective management presentations. With respect to the remaining four private equity fund sponsors (one of which was Sponsor A), Morgan Stanley, at the direction of the Special Committee, requested that each provide a non-binding acquisition proposal for consideration by the Special Committee; all four of these private equity fund sponsors (including Sponsor A) declined to submit an acquisition proposal.

By August 11, 2023, Morgan Stanley had received confirmation that none of the eight private equity fund sponsors contacted by Morgan Stanley (including Sponsor A) would make a proposal to acquire the Company. On or around August 11, 2023, representatives of Morgan Stanley discussed this development with a member of the Special Committee.

On August 15, 2023, the Special Committee held a meeting with certain representatives of the Company’s senior management. The Special Committee discussed the feedback received from the potential private equity fund and strategic acquirers to which Morgan Stanley had conducted outreach during the sale process. At the conclusion of this meeting, the Special Committee decided to terminate the sale process at that time.

On August 17, 2023, the Special Committee terminated its engagement letter with Morgan Stanley.

On November 12, 2023, Mr. Gadi Krumholz, Vice President of Corporate Development, EMEA and APAC of Parent, first contacted Mr. Adika to discuss the idea of a potential expansion of the existing partnership between the Company and Parent across other lines of business of Parent.

From November 12, 2023 through December 8, 2023, Mr. Krumholz and Mr. Adika had periodic discussions regarding the aforementioned potential expansion of the partnership between the Company and Parent.

On December 8, 2023, Mr. Krumholz informed Mr. Adika that Parent was considering making an offer for the acquisition of the Company and invited Mr. Adika to speak with additional members of Parent’s management team.

On December 10, 2023, Mr. Krumholz informed Mr. Adika that Parent’s management team would be requesting approval from the Executive Board of Parent (the “Parent Executive Board”) to prepare and deliver a formal letter of intent to the Company regarding the acquisition of the Company.

From December 10, 2023 through January 16, 2024, Mr. Krumholz and Mr. Adika had periodic discussions regarding timing for when Parent would be delivering a formal letter of intent to the Company regarding the acquisition of the Company.

On January 16, 2024, the Board held a meeting with certain representatives of the Company’s senior management and Meitar. At this meeting, Mr. Adika provided an update to the Board regarding the discussions Mr. Adika had with Mr. Krumholz regarding the idea of a potential acquisition of the Company by Parent. The Board discussed the potential acquisition with the Company’s senior management. Following such discussion, the Board authorized the Company’s management to move forward with executing a non-disclosure agreement with Parent and proceed with sharing diligence information with Parent in support of furthering the discussions regarding the potential acquisition of the Company by Parent. The Board also authorized the Company’s management to move forward with engaging a financial advisor to advise the Board in its evaluation of the potential acquisition of the Company by Parent.

On January 19, 2024, the Company entered into a Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement with Parent, which included a standstill provision. On January 19, 2024, Mr. Adika also contacted representatives of Qatalyst Partners regarding Qatalyst Partners serving as financial advisor to the Company in connection with the potential acquisition of the Company by Parent.

At the beginning of February 2024, representatives of Parent informed Mr. Adika that Parent would be delivering a formal letter of intent to acquire the Company at the end of February. Mr. Adika inquired about the purchase price that would be proposed. Representatives of Parent stated that Parent could not identify the exact price at this time and explained the methodologies, considerations and analysis that Parent would need to complete prior to being able to determine the proposed purchase price.

On February 23, 2024, Parent sent a non-binding indication of interest letter to the Company, which indicated that Parent would be interested in acquiring the Company at a purchase price of $13.75 per outstanding Company Share in cash (the “February 23 IOI”), representing an approximately 45% premium over the closing price of the Company Shares of $9.48 per share on Nasdaq on February 23, 2024, and requested access to preliminary diligence documents regarding financial and business information. The February 23 IOI also included an initial draft of an exclusivity agreement attached as an annex thereto. The February 23 IOI was shared with the Board.

On February 27, 2024, the Board held a meeting, together with certain representatives of the Company’s senior management, Qatalyst Partners, Latham and Meitar. At this meeting, Mr. Adika provided an update to the Board regarding the receipt of, and the details included in, the February 23 IOI. The Board discussed the February 23 IOI with the Company’s senior management and representatives of Qatalyst Partners, including the process for discussing an improved offer from Parent and process alternatives that could be available to the Company. At this meeting, representatives of Latham and Meitar provided an overview to the Board of its fiduciary duties in the context of a potential sale transaction. Representatives of Qatalyst Partners reviewed preliminary financial analyses in connection with the February 23 IOI. The Board discussed and determined that the price included in Parent’s offer in the February 23 IOI was not high enough and did not fully reflect the value of the Company and its prospects and directed Mr. Adika to communicate such determination to Mr. Krumholz. The Board also directed representatives of Qatalyst Partners to contact representatives of Parent to communicate the Company’s feedback. During this meeting, the Board and its advisors also evaluated whether to reach out to other potential acquirers based on a variety of financial and strategic factors, including the likelihood and ability to consummate a transaction at a price that would exceed the proposed purchase price set forth in the February 23 IOI. The Board considered the feedback received from other potential acquirers during the prior sale process conducted in 2023 and determined not to commence outreach to other potential acquirers based on the Board’s consideration of all such factors, including whether any such other potential acquirer would be interested in or able to consummate a transaction at a price above the price proposed in the February 23 IOI. The Board also determined that a Special Committee was not necessary to evaluate the potential acquisition of the Company by Parent because the February 23 IOI contemplated that all shareholders would be treated equally and would receive the same form and amount of consideration per share.

Following the Board meeting on February 27, 2024, Mr. Adika contacted Mr. Krumholz and conveyed that the price proposed in the February 23 IOI was not high enough. Mr. Krumholtz conveyed that Parent would require additional financial information from the Company to consider making a higher offer. Thereafter, representatives of Qatalyst Partners contacted representatives of Parent to convey the Board’s position that the price proposed in the February 23 IOI was not high enough, and to discuss the additional information requests of Parent.

On March 5, 2024, representatives of the Company and Qatalyst Partners met with representatives of Parent and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), the financial advisor of Parent, during which meeting senior management of the Company presented historical financial information and a preliminary long-term forecast for the Company through calendar year 2026.

From March 5, 2024 through March 16, 2024, the Company provided additional responses to Parent’s diligence requests.

On March 16, 2024, Mr. Krumholz contacted Mr. Adika to inform him that Parent would be submitting a revised proposal.

On March 21, 2024, Mr. Krumholz informed Mr. Adika that the Parent Executive Board would be considering the potential acquisition of the Company at an upcoming meeting.

On March 22, 2024, a representative of Parent contacted a representative of Qatalyst Partners to discuss the progress made with respect to diligence of the Company, ahead of Parent submitting a revised proposal.

In the days leading up to March 23, 2024, Mr. Krumholz and Mr. Adika communicated frequently regarding Parent’s requests for additional information about the Company that the Parent Executive Board would require in evaluating a potential acquisition of the Company before it would be in a position to approve the submission of a revised proposal.

On March 23, 2024, Parent sent a non-binding indication of interest letter to the Company, which indicated that Parent would be interested in acquiring the Company at a purchase price of $14.25 per outstanding Company Share in cash (the “March 23 IOI”), representing an approximately 68% premium over the closing price of the Company Shares of $8.49 per share on Nasdaq on March 22, 2024, and included an updated draft of the exclusivity agreement attached as an annex thereto.

On March 24, 2024, Mr. Krumholz and Mr. Adika discussed the terms of the March 23 IOI.

On March 26, 2024, the Board held a meeting, together with certain representatives of the Company’s senior management, Qatalyst Partners, Latham and Meitar. Representatives of Qatalyst Partners updated the Board regarding Parent’s revised offer of $14.25 per outstanding Company Share in cash and presented Qatalyst Partners’ preliminary financial analyses of the revised offer. At this meeting, representatives of Latham and Meitar provided an overview to the Board of their fiduciary duties in the context of a potential sale transaction and representatives of the Company’s senior management provided an update on the process with Parent. The Board discussed and determined that the price included in Parent’s offer in the March 23 IOI was not high enough and did not fully reflect the value of the Company and its prospects and directed representatives of Qatalyst Partners to communicate such determination to representatives of Parent.

On March 26, 2024, after the Board meeting, representatives of Qatalyst Partners contacted representatives of Goldman Sachs to convey the Board’s position that the revised offer of $14.25 per outstanding Company Share in cash proposed in the March 23 IOI was not high enough. Representatives of Goldman Sachs conveyed that Parent would need to review additional information regarding the Company’s financial performance during the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 (“Q1 2024”) in advance of potentially submitting a revised proposal.

On April 1, 2024, Mr. Adika and senior management of the Company presented materials regarding the Company’s preliminary financial performance during Q1 2024 to representatives of Parent, which presentation was also attended by representatives of Qatalyst Partners and Goldman Sachs. Following this presentation, Mr. Krumholz contacted Mr. Adika to convey that senior management of Parent would be meeting with representatives of Goldman Sachs on the following day to prepare a recommendation for Parent’s best and final offer price for the acquisition of the Company by Parent.

On April 4, 2024, Parent sent a non-binding indication of interest letter to the Company, which indicated that Parent would be interested in acquiring the Company at a purchase price of $14.75 per outstanding Company Share in cash (the “April 4 IOI”), representing an approximately 80% premium over the closing price of the Company Shares of $8.20 per share on Nasdaq on April 3, 2024, and included an updated draft of the exclusivity agreement attached as an annex thereto. Mr. Krumholz called Mr. Adika to convey that the offer was Parent’s “final” proposal.

On April 5, 2024, the Board held a meeting, together with certain representatives of the Company’s senior management, Qatalyst Partners, Latham and Meitar. Representatives of Qatalyst Partners updated the Board regarding Parent’s revised offer of $14.75 per outstanding Company Share in cash and presented Qatalyst Partners’ preliminary financial analyses of the revised offer. At this meeting, representatives of Latham and Meitar provided an overview to the Board of their fiduciary duties in the context of a potential sale transaction and representatives of the Company’s senior management provided an update on the sale process. The Board discussed the revised offer from Parent, as well as the certainty of consummation of the potential transaction, and approved entering into exclusivity with Parent for a potential acquisition of the Company based on the purchase price of $14.75 per outstanding Company Share in cash. The Board evaluated and selected Qatalyst Partners as its financial advisor for the potential transaction based on its qualifications, expertise and reputation, as well as its knowledge of the Company’s business and the industry in which it operates. The Board further approved engagement of Qatalyst Partners for purposes of obtaining financial advice and an opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the merger consideration to be received by the holders of Company Shares for each Company Share, pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a merger agreement to be entered into by Parent and the Company. The Board authorized management to negotiate and execute an engagement letter with Qatalyst Partners.

On April 8, 2024, the Company entered into an exclusivity agreement with Parent (the “Exclusivity Agreement”), providing for an initial exclusivity period of 30 days if Parent and the Company continue to negotiate in good faith (the “Exclusivity Period”). Pursuant to the terms of the Exclusivity Agreement, the Exclusivity Period would automatically be extended, if Parent delivered written notice to the Company confirming the proposed purchase price of $14.75 per outstanding Company Share in cash, to the earlier of (a) the execution of a definitive agreement regarding the potential transaction, (b) the date Parent notifies the Company in writing that it no longer intends to pursue the potential transaction and (c) 11:59 PM Eastern Time on the date that is 10 days following the Exclusivity Period.

On April 11, 2024, the Company entered into an engagement letter with Qatalyst Partners in connection with the potential acquisition of the Company on the terms approved by the Board during the Board’s April 5, 2024 meeting.

On April 12, 2024, the Company granted Parent, its U.S. legal counsel Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP (“Orrick”), its Israeli legal counsel Gornitzky & Co. (“Gornitzky”) and its financial advisor, Goldman Sachs, in connection with the potential transaction, access to due diligence materials in the Company’s data room, and over the course of the following weeks, management and advisors of each of the Company and Parent further discussed and exchanged additional due diligence information. The Company also organized a number of due diligence calls among the parties and their advisors.

On April 18, 2024, representatives of the Company and its advisors, Qatalyst Partners, Latham and Meitar, and representatives of Parent and its advisors, Goldman Sachs, Orrick and Gornitzky, attended in-person meetings in London (for which virtual attendance was also made available) to discuss a wide range of diligence matters, including, among other things, product, technology, intellectual property, legal, financial and human resources matters.

On April 24, 2024, representatives of Orrick delivered to representatives of Latham an initial draft of the Merger Agreement.

During the course of the ensuing weeks, representatives of Orrick and Latham, on behalf of Parent and the Company, respectively, exchanged drafts and negotiated the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and related disclosures with respect to the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement after consultation with and guidance from the members of Parent’s and the Company’s respective senior management and boards of directors. These negotiations continued until June 4, 2024. During this process, the material open points in the Merger Agreement that continued to be negotiated included, among other things: the parameters that would need to be satisfied in order for the Board to evaluate and exercise its fiduciary duties in connection with alternative transaction proposals; termination rights; the circumstances under which a termination fee would be payable by the Company to Parent and the amount of such termination fee; obligations and risk allocation with respect to regulatory approvals, including the circumstances under which a reverse termination fee would be payable by Parent to the Company and the amount of such reverse termination fee; the level and scope of protection of employee benefits following the closing of the potential transaction; the treatment of equity awards and related tax provisions; and the restrictions imposed on the Company by the interim operating covenants.

Between April 28, 2024 and May 6, 2024, Mr. Krumholz and Mr. Adika, as well as representatives of Qatalyst Partners, representatives of Goldman Sachs and other members of Parent’s management, had several discussions regarding the progress of the Company’s provision of requested diligence materials and Parent’s diligence of the Company and diligence findings based on the diligence materials provided to date, as well as the expected timing for announcement of the potential transaction. In these discussions, representatives of Parent informed Mr. Adika and representatives of Qatalyst Partners that they were not certain they could continue to support the purchase price of $14.75 per outstanding Company Share in cash contained in the April 4 IOI given Parent’s diligence findings, and that Parent would be unable to sign the Merger Agreement on the previously contemplated timeline in light of these diligence findings.

On April 29, 2024, representatives of Latham provided to representatives of Orrick a revised draft of the Merger Agreement.

On May 8, 2024, the Exclusivity Period expired as Parent did not reaffirm the $14.75 price per outstanding Company Share in cash per the terms of the Exclusivity Agreement. At this time, the $14.75 price per outstanding Company Share initially proposed in the April 4 IOI represented an 82% premium over the closing price of the Company Shares of $8.10 per share on Nasdaq on May 8, 2024.

On May 9, 2024, the Board held a meeting with certain representatives of the Company’s senior management and representatives of Qatalyst Partners, Latham and Meitar. Representatives of Qatalyst Partners presented materials providing an update on the diligence process and timeline to announcement of the potential transaction, including the fact that representatives of Parent had conveyed that Parent was unable to reaffirm the purchase price of $14.75 per outstanding Company Share in cash and that the revised proposal would be subject to further due diligence. At this meeting, representatives of Latham and Meitar provided an overview to the Board of their fiduciary duties in the context of a potential sale transaction and representatives of the Company’s senior management provided an update on the transaction process. Representatives of Qatalyst Partners presented an overview of the Company’s recent share price performance and Qatalyst Partners’ preliminary financial analyses of the purchase price of $14.75 per outstanding Company Share.

Also on May 9, 2024, Morgan Stanley’s engagement letter was reinstated and amended to, among other things, confirm Morgan Stanley’s right to receive a fee in connection with an acquisition of the Company. Pursuant to the amended engagement letter, the Company will pay Morgan Stanley a fee of approximately $27 million for financial advisory services in connection with the Merger, $5 million of which was payable upon the Company entering into the Merger Agreement, and the remaining portion of which will be paid upon, and subject to, the closing of the Merger. The Company has also agreed to reimburse Morgan Stanley for its expenses, including fees of outside counsel and other professional advisors, incurred in connection with its engagement. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify Morgan Stanley and its affiliates, its and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents and each other person, if any, controlling Morgan Stanley or any of its affiliates against certain liabilities and expenses related to, arising out of or in connection with Morgan Stanley’s engagement, including certain liabilities under the federal securities laws.

On May 11, 2024, representatives of Orrick provided to representatives of Latham a revised draft of the Merger Agreement. The material open points in the Merger Agreement included, among other things: the parameters that would need to be satisfied in order for the Board to evaluate, and exercise its fiduciary duties in connection with, alternative transaction proposals; termination rights; the circumstances under which a termination fee would be payable by the Company to Parent and the amount of such termination fee; obligations and risk allocation with respect to regulatory approvals, including whether a reverse termination fee would be payable by Parent to the Company due to a failure to obtain required regulatory approvals; the level and scope of protection of employee benefits following the closing of the potential transaction; the treatment of equity awards and related tax provisions; and the restrictions imposed on the Company by the interim operating covenants.

During the week of May 13, 2024, representatives of Latham and representatives of Orrick discussed on several occasions the remaining material open points to be negotiated in the Merger Agreement.

On May 16, 2024, representatives of Latham provided to representatives of Orrick a revised draft of the Merger Agreement.

On May 19, 2024, Mr. Krumholz informed Mr. Adika that Parent was reducing its proposed purchase price to $14.00 per outstanding Company Share in cash, representing a 67% premium over the closing price of the Company Shares of $8.39 per share on Nasdaq on May 17, 2024 (the “May 19 Proposal”). On May 19, 2024, representatives of Orrick also provided to representatives of Latham a revised draft of the Merger Agreement, which reflected the revised purchase price of $14.00 per outstanding Company Share in cash. The material open points in the Merger Agreement included, among other things: the amount of the termination fee payable by the Company to Parent; obligations and risk allocation with respect to regulatory approvals, including the circumstances under which a reverse termination fee would be payable by Parent to the Company and the amount of such reverse termination fee; the level and scope of protection of employee benefits following the closing of the potential transaction; the treatment of equity awards and related tax provisions; and the restrictions imposed on the Company by the interim operating covenants.

On May 20, 2024, the Board held a meeting with certain representatives of the Company’s senior management, Qatalyst Partners, Latham and Meitar to discuss the May 19 Proposal. Mr. Adika provided an update on ongoing discussions between Mr. Adika and representatives of Parent regarding the reduction in purchase price and key open issues in the Merger Agreement, including, among other things, the amount of the termination fee payable by the Company to Parent, the treatment of equity awards and related tax matters and obligations and risk allocation with respect to regulatory approvals including the circumstances under which a reverse termination fee would be payable by Parent to the Company and the amount of such reverse termination fee. At this meeting, representatives of Latham and Meitar provided an overview to the Board of their fiduciary duties in the context of a potential sale transaction. A discussion ensued among the Board, the Company’s senior management, Qatalyst Partners, Latham and Meitar regarding such matters.

On May 21, 2024, Mr. Adika and Mr. Krumholz had a discussion regarding the May 19 Proposal. Mr. Adika proposed a revised purchase price of $14.35 per outstanding Company Share in cash.

On May 30, 2024, the Board held a meeting with certain representatives of the Company’s senior management, Qatalyst Partners, Latham and Meitar to discuss the final key terms and open issues in the Merger Agreement and approve the Company Financial Projections. Representatives of the Company’s senior management provided an update to the Board on their discussions with representatives of Parent regarding the potential transaction. Representatives of Latham and Meitar provided an overview to the Board of their fiduciary duties in the context of a potential sale transaction and discussed with the Board the key terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and key open issues in the Merger Agreement for resolution. The Board discussed and approved the Company Financial Projections prepared by the Company’s management, including for use by Qatalyst Partners for purposes of performing its financial analyses in connection with rendering an opinion to the Board. Thereafter, representatives of Qatalyst Partners updated the Board regarding the May 19 Proposal and presented Qatalyst Partners’ preliminary financial analyses of the revised offer. The Board discussed the revised offer from Parent and approved moving forward with a purchase price of $14.00 per outstanding Company Share in cash. Following the meeting of the Board held on May 30, 2024, Mr. Adika communicated to representatives of Parent that the Board had approved moving forward with Parent’s revised purchase price of $14.00 per outstanding Company Share in cash in the May 19 Proposal, representing a 52% premium over the closing price of the Company Shares of $9.24 per share on Nasdaq on May 30, 2024.

On May 30, 2024, representatives of Orrick provided to representatives of Latham a revised draft of the Merger Agreement.

On June 3, 2024, the Parent Supervisory Board approved the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the other Transactions.

On June 4, 2024, the Board held a meeting with certain representatives of the Company’s senior management, Qatalyst Partners, Latham and Meitar to approve the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the other Transactions. The Board reviewed the conflicts disclosure statement of Qatalyst Partners and determined that there would be no conflicts in connection with Qatalyst Partners serving as the Company’s financial advisor for the Transactions. Representatives of the Company’s senior management provided an update to the Board on their discussions with representatives of Parent regarding the Transactions. Representatives of Latham and Meitar again provided an overview to the Board of their fiduciary duties in the context of a potential sale transaction, an update on the resolution of key open issues in the Merger Agreement, and an overview of the proposed board resolutions for approving the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions. Representatives of Qatalyst Partners reviewed with the Board Qatalyst Partners’ final financial analyses of the Company. Qatalyst Partners rendered to the Board its oral opinion, subsequently confirmed in writing, to the effect that, as of the date thereof and based upon and subject to the various assumptions, qualifications, limitations and other matters set forth therein, the merger consideration to be received by the holders of Company Shares for each Company Share pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement, was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders. Qatalyst Partners delivered its written opinion, dated June 4, 2024, to the Board following the meeting of the Board. For a detailed discussion of Qatalyst Partners’ opinion, please see below under the captions “The Merger—Opinion of Qatalyst Partners LP.” After further discussions with its financial and legal advisors and members of Company’s senior management, including discussing the advantages and risks of the Transactions (which are more fully described below under the caption “The Merger—Reasons for the Merger and Recommendation of the Board”), the Board unanimously adopted resolutions approving the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the other Transactions and recommending that the Company shareholders approve the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the other Transactions.

Later in the evening on June 4, 2024, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub executed and delivered the Merger Agreement. Thereafter, on June 5, 2024, before the opening of the trading markets in the United States, the Company and Parent issued a joint press release announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement.

Reasons for the Merger and Recommendation of the Board

At its meeting on June 4, 2024, held to evaluate the proposed Merger, the Board unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and determined that the terms of the Merger are fair to and in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders and that, considering the financial position of the merging companies, no reasonable concern exists that the Surviving Company will be unable to fulfill the obligations of the Company to its creditors. The Board unanimously recommends that the Company’s shareholders vote:

1. “FOR” the Merger Proposal;

2. “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal;

3. “FOR” the Director Re-Election Proposal;

4. “FOR” the Auditor Re-Appointment Proposal; and

5. “FOR” the CEO Compensation Proposal.

In evaluating the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions, the Board consulted with the Company’s senior management, the Company’s financial advisor, Qatalyst Partners, and the Company’s outside legal counsel, Latham and Meitar, and, in the course of reaching its determination to approve the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions and to recommend, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, that the Company’s shareholders vote in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions, the Board carefully considered a wide and complex range of factors, including, among other things, the following list of material factors and benefits of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions, each of which the Board believed supported its determination and recommendation:

•	Attractive Value. The belief of the Board that the per share merger consideration represents a full and fair value for each of the outstanding Company Shares, taking into account the Board’s familiarity with the Company’s current and historical financial condition and results of operations and the Company’s business strategy, financial requirements, assets and business prospects, as well as the risks related thereto.
•	Negotiations with Parent. The Board considered the course of negotiations between the Company and Parent, and the Board’s belief that, based on those negotiations, the per share merger consideration represented the highest price per share that Parent was willing to pay and that the Merger Agreement contained the most favorable terms to the Company in the aggregate to which Parent was willing to agree.
•	Premium to Current and Historical Trading Prices.The Board considered the fact that the per share merger consideration to be paid by Parent would provide the Company’s shareholders with the opportunity to receive a significant premium over the market price for each of the Company Shares. The Board reviewed the current and historical market prices and trading information with respect to the Company Shares, including the fact that the per share merger consideration represents a meaningful premium to those historical prices, including, among other things:
	•	A premium of approximately 45% to $9.64, the closing share price of the Company Shares on Nasdaq on June 4, 2024, the last trading day prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement;
	•	A premium of approximately 70% to the Company’s implied enterprise value, using $9.64 per share, the closing share price of the Company Shares on Nasdaq on June 4, 2024, the last trading day prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement;
	•	A premium of approximately 65% to $8.46, the volume-weighted average share price of the Company Shares on Nasdaq for the 30-day period ending June 4, 2024, the last trading day prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement; and
	•	A premium of approximately 28% to $10.98, the closing share price of the Company Shares on Nasdaq on January 9, 2024, the highest closing share price of the Company Shares on the Nasdaq over the last twelve months.

•	Cash Merger Consideration; Certainty of Value. The Board considered the fact that the per share merger consideration consists entirely of cash, which provides liquidity and certainty of value to the shareholders of the Company, while eliminating the effect of long-term business and execution risk to shareholders. The Board weighed the certainty of realizing a compelling value for the Company Shares by virtue of the Merger against the uncertain prospect that the trading value for the Company Shares would approach the per share merger consideration in the foreseeable future. Based upon its knowledge of, and familiarity with, the Company’s historical and current business, operations, prospects, business strategy, competitive position and the software-as-a-service industry generally, the Board believed this certainty of value was compelling compared to the long-term value creation potential of the Company’s business, taking into account the risks of remaining independent and pursuing the Company’s current business and financial plans, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the Company’s business described in this proxy statement and the other risks and uncertainties discussed in the Company’s public filings filed with or furnished to the SEC, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023, which is incorporated herein by reference.
•	Qatalyst Opinion. At the meeting of the Board on June 4, 2024, Qatalyst Partners rendered to the Board its oral opinion, subsequently confirmed in writing, to the effect that, as of the date thereof and based upon and subject to the various assumptions, qualifications, limitations and other matters set forth therein, the per share merger consideration to be received by the holders of Company Shares for each outstanding Company Share pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement, was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders. Qatalyst Partners delivered its written opinion, dated June 4, 2024, to the Board following the meeting of the Board. The opinion is more fully described in the section of this proxy statement captioned “The Merger—Opinion of Qatalyst Partners LP” and the full text of the opinion is attached as Annex B to this proxy statement.
•	Surviving Company. Considering the financial position of the Company and Merger Sub, no reasonable concern exists that, as a result of the Merger, the Surviving Company will not be able to fulfill the obligations of the Company to its creditors.
•	Potential Strategic Alternatives. The Board considered possible alternatives to the acquisition by Parent reasonably available to the Company, including continuing to operate as a stand-alone company, and the potential benefits and risks to the Company’s shareholders of these alternatives, as well as the Board’s assessment that none of these alternatives was reasonably likely to create greater value for the Company’s shareholders within a reasonable period of time, taking into account risks of execution as well as market, industry, business and competitive risks.
•	Risks Relating to Remaining a Stand-Alone Company. The Board considered the Company’s prospects and risks if the Company were to remain an independent company. The Board considered the Company’s current business and financial plans, including the risks and uncertainties associated with achieving and executing on the Company’s business and financial plans in the short-term and long-term, as well as the general risks of market conditions that could reduce the trading price of the Company Shares. Among the potential risks and uncertainties identified by the Board were:
	•	the growing challenges faced by the software-as-a-service industry, including macroeconomic trends and the fact that the industry is highly competitive, cyclical and subject to constant and rapid technological change;
	•	achieving the Company’s growth plans in light of the current and foreseeable market conditions, including the risks and uncertainties in the U.S. and global economy generally and the software-as-a-service industry specifically;
	•	current and anticipated future competition for the Company’s products and its ability to compete successfully in light of the nature of the software-as-a-service industry;
	•	the Company’s ability to sustain its historical revenue growth, improve profitability and generate consistent positive cash flows; and
	•	other risks and uncertainties discussed in the Company’s public filings filed with or furnished to the SEC, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023, which is incorporated herein by reference.
•	Other Potential Acquirers. The Board considered, in consultation with management and its financial and legal advisors, the potential risks and benefits of negotiating on an exclusive basis with Parent or commencing a process in which certain other third parties (including some or all of the potential private equity fund and strategic acquirers contacted by Morgan Stanley, on behalf of the Special Committee, in 2023) that could be potentially interested in pursuing a business combination with the Company (in addition to Parent) would be invited to submit indications of interest. The Board and its advisors also evaluated whether to reach out to other potential acquirers based on various financial and strategic factors, including the likelihood and ability to consummate a transaction at a price that would exceed the purchase price offered by Parent. The Board also considered the feedback provided to the Special Committee by the potential private equity fund and strategic acquirers contacted by Morgan Stanley, on behalf of the Special Committee, in 2023. As part of this evaluation, the Board noted the robust process undertaken by Morgan Stanley, at the direction of the Special Committee, as well as the results of that process. The Board determined, in consultation with the Company’s management and its financial and legal advisors, to proceed on an exclusive basis with Parent primarily for the following reasons:
	•	those third parties were not perceived to have the financial ability or willingness (including, in view of the potential synergies) to pay a purchase price for the Company in excess of Parent’s offer or to consummate a transaction on financial terms more favorable to the Company’s shareholders than Parent’s offer;
	•	the solicitation of other third-party interest would raise confidentiality concerns and potentially heighten the risk that the process would become known to the broader market, including customers, suppliers and/or employees;
	•	the commencement of a broader process could have deterred Parent and caused it to withdraw its offer; and
	•	the potential synergies with Parent and Parent’s financial ability to fund the Transactions would likely result in a higher price per share premium than what would have been offered by other potential acquirers.

	•	Ability to Respond to Unsolicited Acquisition Proposals, Change Recommendation and Terminate the Merger Agreement. The Board considered that, while it determined not to conduct a process of inviting other potential acquirers to submit indications of interest, the Merger Agreement includes “fiduciary out” provisions, which, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, permit the Company to, in response to its receipt of an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal, provide information to and participate in negotiations or discussions with third parties with respect to an Acquisition Proposal if the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel based on the information then available, that the Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be likely to lead to a Superior Proposal and that failure to take such action would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the members of the Board to the Company’s shareholders under Israeli law and the Company receives or has already received an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement from the competing bidder. At any time prior to the approval of the Merger Agreement by the Company’s shareholders, in response to its receipt of an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal, (i) the Board may change its recommendation that the holders of Company Shares approve the Merger Agreement and/or (ii) the Company may terminate the Merger Agreement to enter into a definitive written agreement providing for such Acquisition Proposal, if the Board has determined in good faith after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel based on the information then available, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and the failure to change its recommendation and/or to terminate the Merger Agreement would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Israeli law. However, prior to taking these actions, the Company must provide Parent with at least four business days’ prior written notice of such determination (the “Notice Period”) and during this Notice Period, the Company is obligated to cause its legal and financial advisors to reasonably engage in good faith negotiations with Parent and its representatives and consider in good faith any proposals made by Parent in writing, in order to amend the terms of the proposed transaction such that the Acquisition Proposal no longer constitutes a Superior Proposal. The Board further considered the fact that the approximately $44.2 million termination fee (approximately 3% of the Company’s equity value) payable by the Company under certain circumstances (i) is reasonable in light of the overall terms of the Merger Agreement and the benefits of the Merger and (ii) would not preclude another party from making a competing proposal.
	•	Terms of the Merger Agreement. The Board considered all of the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, which were the product of arm’s-length negotiations between the parties, including the structure of the transaction, the all-cash form of the per share merger consideration, the limited scope of the conditions to Closing, the Company’s right to specific performance to cause Parent to consummate the Merger, and other remedies available under the Merger Agreement, subject to certain conditions, and the customary nature of the representations, warranties, and the covenants and agreements of the parties. The Board further considered the course and nature of negotiations with Parent, which were conducted at arm’s length and during which the Board was advised by highly qualified legal and financial advisors. These negotiations ultimately resulted in terms that (1) provide for a significant premium over the current trading price of the Company Shares; (2) provide robust provisions designed to ensure, absent certain circumstances that would cause a closing condition not to be satisfied or allow termination of the Merger Agreement, that the transaction is completed; and (3) provide for a termination fee payable to the Company under certain circumstances involving the failure to obtain certain regulatory approvals or clearances, including the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period (and any extension thereof) under the HSR Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the remaining Required Clearances. The Board also considered the willingness of certain shareholders of the Company to support and to vote in favor of the Merger.
	•	Regulatory Approvals. The Board considered the relative likelihood of significant antitrust or other regulatory impediments to closing and the provisions of the Merger Agreement related to regulatory approvals, including the obligation of Parent and the Company use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws to cause the conditions to Closing to be satisfied as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event no later than the Outside Date) and to consummate and make effective the Transactions, including the Merger, as soon as practicable after the date of the Merger Agreement. These reasonable best efforts include, among other things, supplying any information that may be required or reasonably requested by the applicable governmental authorities and agreeing to take all lawful actions necessary to obtain all approvals and clearances of the Merger or the Transactions (provided that Parent and its subsidiaries will not be obligated to (i) propose, negotiate, agree or commit to, effect or undertake (A) any action that materially limits the freedom of action with respect to the business conduct of, or the ability to operate any of the businesses, product lines or assets of, Parent or any of its subsidiaries, (B) any sale, divestiture, transfer, license, disposition or hold separate (through establishment of a trust or otherwise) of any assets, properties or businesses of Parent or any of its subsidiaries or (C) any action that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be anticipated to have a material adverse impact on the business or financial condition of Parent or any of its subsidiaries, including, following the Merger, the Surviving Company, or (ii) commence or participate in any lawsuit or other action, whether judicial or administrative, challenging the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Merger or any of the other Transactions).
	•	Likelihood of Completion. The likelihood that the Merger will be consummated, based on, among other things, the limited number of conditions to the Merger, the absence of a financing condition, the relative likelihood of obtaining required regulatory approvals, the remedies available under the Merger Agreement to the Company in the event of various breaches by Parent, and Parent’s reputation in the software-as-a-service industry, its financial capacity to complete an acquisition of this size and its prior track record of successfully completing acquisitions, which the Board believed supported the conclusion that a transaction with Parent could be completed on a reasonable timetable for such a transaction and in an orderly manner.
	•	Shareholder Approval. The Board considered that the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions would be subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company and that shareholders would be free to vote against the approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions.

Possible Uncertainties, Risks and Negative Factors Associated with Merger

The Board also considered various uncertainties, risks and other potentially negative factors relating to the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions, including, among other things, the following:

•	No Shareholder Participation in Future Earnings or Growth. The Board considered the fact that if the Merger is consummated, holders of the Company Shares will receive the per share merger consideration in cash, the Company will no longer exist as an independent public company, and accordingly, the shareholders of the Company will no longer participate in any future earnings or growth the Company may experience or any potential future appreciation in the value of the Company Shares, and will not participate in any potential future sale of the Company’s business to a third party.
•	Inability to Solicit Other Takeover Proposals and Termination Fee. The Merger Agreement includes a covenant prohibiting the Company from directly or indirectly soliciting, seeking, initiating, encouraging, facilitating or taking actions that would lead to other potential acquisition proposals, subject to certain exceptions, and the Company may be required to pay a termination fee of approximately $44.2 million (approximately 3% of the Company’s equity value) in cash if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, including to accept a Superior Proposal. The Board also considered, but did not consider to be preclusive of a potential acquirer making a competing offer, the potential that such termination fee may deter other potential acquirers from making a competing offer for the Company, the impact of the termination fee on the Company’s ability to engage in certain transactions for 12 months from the date the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, and the fact that the right afforded to Parent under the Merger Agreement to re-negotiate the terms of the Merger Agreement in response to superior acquisition proposals may discourage other parties that might otherwise have an interest in a business combination with, or an acquisition of, the Company. The Board recognized that the provisions in the Merger Agreement relating to these restrictions on takeover proposals and the payment of these fees was required by Parent as a condition to entering into the Merger Agreement.
•	Effect of Public Announcement. The effect of the public announcement of the Merger Agreement, including effects on the Company’s operations, the Company’s relationships with customers and suppliers, the trading price of the Company Shares, and the Company’s ability to attract and retain management and other key employees, including sales, operations, research and development, procurement, finance and other support function personnel, during the pendency of the Transactions, as well as the potential of litigation in connection with the Merger and other potential adverse effects on the financial results of the Company as a result of any related disruption in the Company’s business during the pendency of the Transactions, which are anticipated to likely be completed in 2024.
•	Timing and Regulatory Risks. The Board considered the amount of time it could take to complete the Merger, including the possibility that the Merger may not be completed or that completion may be unduly delayed for reasons beyond the control of the Company or Parent, and including the risk that Parent might not receive the necessary Required Clearances to complete the Merger or that governmental authorities could attempt to condition their approvals or clearances of the Merger on one or more of the parties’ compliance with certain terms or conditions which may cause one or more of the Merger conditions not to be satisfied.
•	Opportunity Costs and Interim Operating Covenants. The Board considered restrictions on the conduct of the Company’s business during the interim period between signing and Closing, due to the pre-closing covenants in the Merger Agreement whereby the Company agreed, among other things, that it will conduct its business, in all material respects, in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and, subject to specified exceptions, will not take a number of actions related to the conduct of its business without the prior written consent of Parent (in each case, subject to specified exceptions), which may have an adverse effect on the Company, including a potential loss of customers or business, or reduction in business with current customers, and the Company’s ability to respond to changing market and business conditions in a timely manner or at all.
•	Risk Associated with Failure to Consummate the Merger. While the Board expects that the Merger will be consummated, there can be no assurance that all of the conditions to the consummation of the Merger will be satisfied, including that the Merger will receive the Required Clearances, or that the Merger will be consummated in a timely manner or at all, even if the shareholders of the Company approve the Merger Proposal. The Board considered potential negative effects if the Merger is not consummated, including:
	•	the Company’s directors, senior management and other employees will have expended extensive time and effort to negotiate, implement and consummate the Merger, and their time may have been diverted from other important business opportunities and operational matters while working to implement the Merger;
	•	the Company will have incurred significant transaction and opportunity costs during the pendency of the Transactions, without compensation, except potentially for the termination fee payable by Parent in the event of a termination under certain circumstances;
	•	the Company’s continuing business relationships with customers, suppliers, and other business partners and employees, including key personnel, may be adversely affected;
	•	the trading price of the Company Shares could be adversely affected;
	•	the market’s perceptions of the Company and the Company’s prospects could be adversely affected; and
	•	the Company’s business may be subject to significant disruption and decline.

•	Transaction Costs. The Board considered the fact that the Company has incurred and will continue to incur significant transaction costs and expenses in connection with the Merger, regardless of whether the Merger is consummated.
•	Interests of Directors and Executive Officers. The Board considered the interests that the Company’s directors and executive officers may have in the Transactions as individuals that are in addition to, or that may be different from, the interests of the Company’s other shareholders, as described in more detail under the caption “The Merger—Interests of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger.”
•	Taxable Nature of the Transaction. The Board considered the fact that the receipt of cash in connection with the Merger will be a taxable transaction to the shareholders of the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and Israeli tax purposes.

The Board concluded that the uncertainties, risks and potentially negative factors relevant to the Merger were outweighed by the benefits that the Board expects the Company and its shareholders would achieve as a result of the Merger.

This discussion of the information and factors considered by the Board includes the principal positive and negative factors considered by the Board but is not intended to be exhaustive and may not include all of the factors considered by the Board. In light of the various factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Merger, and the complexity of these matters, the Board did not find it useful and did not attempt to quantify or assign any relative or specific weights to the various factors that it considered in reaching its determination to approve the Merger and to make its recommendations to the Company’s shareholders. Rather, the Board viewed its decisions as being based on the totality of the information presented to it and the various factors it considered. In addition, individual members of the Board may have given differing weights to different factors. The explanation of the Board’s reasons for the Transactions and all other information in this section may be forward-looking in nature and therefore should be read in light of the factors discussed in the section entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” elsewhere in this proxy statement.

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote (1) “FOR” the Merger Proposal; (2) “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal; (3) “FOR” the Director Re-Election Proposal; (4) “FOR” the Auditor Re-Appointment Proposal; and (5) “FOR” the CEO Compensation Proposal.

Unaudited Financial Projections of the Company

The Company does not, as a matter of course, make public projections as to future performance or earnings beyond the current fiscal year and generally does not make public projections for extended periods due to, among other things, the inherent difficulty of predicting financial performance for future periods and the likelihood that the underlying assumptions and estimates may not be realized. However, the Company’s management regularly prepares, and the Board regularly evaluates, prospective financial information concerning the Company’s future performance. Certain internal unaudited financial projections were prepared for the Board in connection with its consideration of the Transactions and for Qatalyst Partners in connection with Qatalyst Partners’ financial analyses of the Transactions and opinion given to our Board as described under the heading “The Merger—Opinion of Qatalyst Partners LP.” Such projections were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure. Certain financial projections for calendar year 2024 through calendar year 2026 were provided to Parent. These projections were based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain and may be beyond the control of the Company’s management, including, without limitation, factors related to general economic and competitive conditions and prevailing interest rates. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from those set forth in such projections. As a result, the Company does not endorse the projections described below as a reliable indication of future results. See “Cautionary Statements Regarding the Company Financial Projects” below and “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

The table below presents revenue and selected non-GAAP financial measures of the unaudited financial projections (see the note below regarding “Non-GAAP Measures”), which are long-term financial projections from calendar year 2024 through calendar year 2029, as provided to and approved by the Board in connection with its evaluation of the Transactions and approved for use and reliance by the Company’s financial advisor, Qatalyst Partners, in connection with its financial analyses and opinion presented to the Board at the meeting held on June 4, 2024 and as described under the heading “The Merger—Opinion of Qatalyst Partners LP” (such set of long-term financial projections is referred to in this proxy statement as the “Company Financial Projections”). The Company Financial Projections were updated on a different basis, for a different purpose and at a different time than the Company’s statements and/or reports to the public as to the Company’s forward-looking, current and/or past performance and on a different basis, for a different purpose and at a different time than other financial forecasts that the Company may prepare for its own use or for the use of the Board in evaluating the Company’s business, operations and/or financial condition. The Company Financial Projections were therefore updated solely in connection with the evaluation of the Transactions and do not, and were not intended to, update or revise any of the Company’s public statements and/or reports as to its forward-looking, current and/or past performance. The Company Financial Projections were prepared on a stand-alone basis and therefore do not include any transaction-related expenses, nor do they reflect any effect of an acquisition of the Company by Parent, any of its affiliates or any other party or other strategic transaction involving the Company.

Unlevered Free Cash Flow (2)		13		49		81		97		120		130

(1)

Non-GAAP Operating Income is defined as net income from operations excluding share-based compensation, amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets, restructuring expenses and non-recurring legal settlement expenses related to a complex class action lawsuit and related claims which are considered outside of the Company’s ordinary course of business. We exclude these items because they occur for reasons that may be unrelated to our core operating performance during the period, and because we believe that such items may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult. We use Non-GAAP Operating Income (Loss) with traditional GAAP measures to evaluate our financial performance.

(2)

Unlevered Free Cash Flow used by Qatalyst Partners, with the approval of the Board, in its financial analyses (as described in more detail in the section of this proxy statement captioned “The Merger—Opinion of Qatalyst Partners LP”), is calculated as Non-GAAP Operating Income subtracting the impact of cash taxes, and adding or subtracting (as applicable) the impact of depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures including capitalized internal-use software costs, changes in net working capital and any one-time cash expenses. Calendar year 2029 assumes a long-term effective non-GAAP cash tax rate of 17%, as provided by management of the Company.

Non-GAAP Measures

The Company Financial Projections include forecasts of non-GAAP measures such as Non-GAAP Operating Income and Unlevered Free Cash Flow, among other things. Reconciliations of the Company Financial Projections to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are not provided because there is inherent difficulty and uncertainty in estimating or predicting the various components of each corresponding GAAP measure, which components could significantly impact such financial measure. In addition, when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods, the Company does so primarily on a non-GAAP basis without preparing a GAAP analysis since such an analysis would require estimates for various reconciling items that would be difficult to predict with reasonable accuracy.

Cautionary Statements Regarding the Company Financial Projections

The Company Financial Projections are unaudited and were developed solely in connection with the evaluation of the Transactions and should be read together with the historical financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, which have been filed with or furnished to the SEC and incorporated in this proxy statement, and the other information regarding the Company contained elsewhere or incorporated in this proxy statement. See the section of this proxy statement captioned “Where You Can Find More Information.” Although presented with numerical specificity, the Company Financial Projections were prepared in the context of and incorporating numerous variables, estimates, and assumptions that are inherently uncertain and largely beyond the control of the Company, and which may prove not to have been, or to no longer be, accurate. Although considered reasonable by the Company’s management and the Board as of the date of their preparation and approval, the Company Financial Projections are subject to many risks and uncertainties. The Company Financial Projections were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure, nor were they prepared with a view toward compliance with the published guidelines of the SEC or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. The Company Financial Projections (other than revenue) do not purport to present financial information in accordance with GAAP. Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, has not examined, compiled or otherwise applied or performed any procedures with respect to the Company Financial Projections, nor has it expressed any opinion or given any form of assurance with respect to such information or their reasonableness, achievability or accuracy, and accordingly, such independent registered public accounting firm assumes no responsibility for them.

The Company Financial Projections are based solely upon information available to the Company’s management as of the date they were prepared and estimates and assumptions made by the Company’s management as of the date the Company Financial Projections were prepared and approved by the Board, as applicable, considering comments as may be received from members of the Board. The Company Financial Projections do not give effect to the Merger, including the impact of negotiating or executing the Merger Agreement, the expenses that have been and may be incurred in connection with consummating the Merger, the potential synergies that may be achieved by the combined company as a result of the Merger, the effect on the Company of any business or strategic decision or action that has been or will be taken as a result of the Merger Agreement having been executed, or the effect of any business or strategic decisions or actions that would likely have been taken if the Merger Agreement had not been executed, but that were instead altered, accelerated, postponed or not taken in anticipation of the Merger. Further, the Company Financial Projections do not take into account the effect on the Company of any possible failure of the Merger to occur.

For the foregoing reasons and considering that the meeting will be held several months after the Company Financial Projections were prepared, as well as the uncertainties inherent in any forecasting information, readers of this proxy statement are cautioned not to place unwarranted reliance on the Company Financial Projections set forth above. No one has made or makes any representation to any of the Company’s shareholders regarding the information included in the Company Financial Projections, and the Company urges all shareholders of the Company to review its most recent SEC filings for a description of its reported financial results. See the section of this proxy statement captioned “Where You Can Find More Information.”

NONE OF THE COMPANY OR ITS AFFILIATES, ADVISORS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS OR REPRESENTATIVES HAS MADE OR MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION TO ANY SHAREHOLDER OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON REGARDING THE ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY COMPARED TO THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE COMPANY FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS OR THAT FORECASTED RESULTS WILL BE ACHIEVED, AND EXCEPT AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NONE OF THEM INTEND TO UPDATE OR OTHERWISE REVISE OR RECONCILE THE COMPANY FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS TO REFLECT CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AFTER THE DATE SUCH PROJECTIONS WERE GENERATED OR TO REFLECT THE OCCURRENCE OF FUTURE EVENTS, EVEN IN THE EVENT THAT ANY OR ALL OF THE ASSUMPTIONS UNDERLYING THE FORECASTS ARE SHOWN TO BE INACCURATE.

Opinion of Qatalyst Partners LP

The Company retained Qatalyst Partners to act as its financial advisor in connection with a potential transaction such as the Merger and to evaluate whether the per share merger consideration to be received by the holders of Company Shares for each Company Share pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement, was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders. The Company selected Qatalyst Partners as its financial advisor for the Transactions based on its qualifications, expertise and reputation, as well as its knowledge of the Company’s business and the industry in which it operates. Qatalyst Partners has provided its written consent to the reproduction of its opinion in this proxy statement. At the meeting of the Board on June 4, 2024, Qatalyst Partners rendered to the Board its oral opinion, subsequently confirmed in writing, to the effect that, as of the date thereof and based upon and subject to the various assumptions, qualifications, limitations and other matters set forth therein, the per share merger consideration to be received by the holders of Company Shares for each Company Share pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement, was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders. Qatalyst Partners delivered its written opinion, dated June 4, 2024, to the Board following the meeting of the Board.

The full text of Qatalyst Partners’ written opinion, dated June 4, 2024, is attached to this proxy statement as Annex B and is incorporated herein by reference. The opinion sets forth, among other things, the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications of the review undertaken by Qatalyst Partners in rendering its opinion. Holders of Company Shares should read the opinion carefully in its entirety. Qatalyst Partners’ opinion was provided to the Board and addresses only, as of the date of the opinion, the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the per share merger consideration to be received by the holders of Company Shares for each Company Share pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement, to such holders, and it does not address any other aspect of the Merger. It does not constitute a recommendation as to how any holder of Company Shares should vote with respect to the Merger or any other matter and does not in any manner address the price at which Company Shares will trade or otherwise be transferable at any time. The summary of Qatalyst Partners’ opinion set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion, which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex B.

In arriving at its opinion, Qatalyst Partners reviewed the execution version of the Merger Agreement provided to Qatalyst Partners on June 3, 2024, certain related documents and certain publicly available financial statements and other business and financial information of the Company. Qatalyst Partners also reviewed the Company Financial Projections (as defined in the section of this proxy statement captioned “The Merger—Unaudited Financial Projections of the Company”). Additionally, Qatalyst Partners discussed the past and current operations and financial condition and the prospects of the Company with senior management of the Company. Qatalyst Partners also reviewed the historical market prices and trading activity for the Company Shares and compared the financial performance of the Company and the prices and trading activity of the Company Shares with that of certain other selected publicly traded companies and their securities. In addition, Qatalyst Partners reviewed the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of selected acquisition transactions, participated in certain discussions and negotiations among the representatives of the Company, Parent and their financial and legal advisors, and performed such other analyses, reviewed such other information and considered such other factors as Qatalyst Partners deemed appropriate.

In arriving at its opinion, Qatalyst Partners assumed and relied upon, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of the information that was publicly available or supplied or otherwise made available to, or discussed with, Qatalyst Partners by the Company. With respect to the Company Financial Projections, Qatalyst Partners was advised by the management of the Company, and Qatalyst Partners assumed based on discussions with the management of the Company and the Board, that the Company Financial Projections had been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company of the future financial performance of the Company and other matters covered thereby. Qatalyst Partners expressed no view as to the Company Financial Projections or the assumptions on which they were based. Qatalyst Partners assumed that the terms of the final executed Merger Agreement would not differ materially from the execution version of the Merger Agreement provided to Qatalyst Partners, and that the Merger will be consummated in accordance with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, without any modification, waiver or delay. In addition, Qatalyst Partners assumed that in connection with the receipt of all the necessary approvals of the Merger, no delays, limitations, conditions or restrictions will be imposed that could have an adverse effect on the Company or the contemplated benefits expected to be derived in the Merger. Qatalyst Partners did not make any independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of the Company or its affiliates, nor was Qatalyst Partners furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal. In addition, Qatalyst Partners relied, without independent verification, upon the assessment of the management of the Company as to the existing and future technology and products of the Company and the risks associated with such technology and products. In arriving at its opinion, Qatalyst Partners was not authorized to solicit, and did not solicit, interest from any party with respect to an acquisition, business combination or other extraordinary transaction involving the Company. Qatalyst Partners’ opinion has been approved by its opinion committee in accordance with its customary practice.

Qatalyst Partners’ opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to it as of, the date of the opinion. Events occurring after the date of the opinion may affect Qatalyst Partners’ opinion and the assumptions used in preparing it, and Qatalyst Partners has not been asked to, nor has it assumed any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion. Qatalyst Partners’ opinion does not address the underlying business decision of the Company to engage in the Merger, or the relative merits of the Merger as compared to any strategic alternatives that may be available to the Company. Qatalyst Partners’ opinion is limited to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the per share merger consideration to be received by the holders of Company Shares for each Company Share pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement, and Qatalyst Partners expressed no opinion with respect to the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to any of the officers, directors or employees of the Company or any of its affiliates, or any class of such persons, relative to such consideration.

The following is a brief summary of the material analyses performed by Qatalyst Partners in connection with its opinion dated June 4, 2024. The analyses and factors described below must be considered as a whole; considering any portion of such analyses or factors, without considering all analyses and factors, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying Qatalyst Partners’ opinion. For purposes of its analyses, Qatalyst Partners utilized both the Company Financial Projections, described in the section of this proxy statement captioned “The Merger—Unaudited Financial Projections of the Company”, and third-party research analyst consensus estimates as of June 3, 2024 (the “Street Estimates”). Some of the summaries of the financial analyses include information presented in tabular format. The tables are not intended to stand alone, and in order to more fully understand the financial analyses used by Qatalyst Partners, the tables must be read together with the full text of each summary. Considering the data set forth below without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of Qatalyst Partners’ financial analyses.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

Qatalyst Partners performed an illustrative discounted cash flow analysis, which is designed to imply a range of potential per-share present values for Company Shares as of March 31, 2024 (which is the end of the Company’s most recent completed fiscal quarter and most recent publicly available balance sheet date), by:

•

adding:

(a)

the implied net present value of the estimated future unlevered free cash flows (which are referred to as the “UFCF”) of the Company, based on the Company Financial Projections for the second quarter of calendar year 2024 through calendar year 2028 (which implied present value was calculated using a range of discount rates of 10.0% to 14.0%, based on an estimated weighted average cost of capital for the Company);

(b)

the implied net present value of a corresponding terminal value of the Company, calculated by multiplying the Company’s estimated UFCF in calendar year 2029 of approximately $130 million, based on the Company Financial Projections (assuming a long-term effective non-GAAP cash tax rate of 17%, as provided by management of the Company), by a range of fully diluted enterprise value to next-twelve-months’ estimated UFCF multiples of 10.0x to 18.0x (which were chosen based on Qatalyst Partners’ professional judgment and experience), and discounted to present value using the same range of discount rates used in item (a) above;

(c)

the cash of the Company as of March 31, 2024, as disclosed in the Company’s press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the report on Form 6-K furnished to the SEC on May 22, 2024; and

(d)

the implied net present value of estimated Israeli tax savings due to its net operating losses for the calendar years 2029 and beyond, as provided by management of the Company, discounted to present value using the same range of discount rates used in item (a) above;

•

subtracting the Company’s redeemable non-controlling interests in WalkMe K.K. (the Company’s Japanese subsidiary), as of March 31, 2024, as disclosed in the Company’s press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the report on Form 6-K furnished to the SEC on May 22, 2024; and

•

dividing the resulting amount by the number of fully diluted Company Shares outstanding (calculated using the treasury stock method), taking into account the restricted stock units and in-the-money stock options as of May 30, 2024, all as provided by management of the Company, with each of the above-referenced estimated future UFCFs, terminal value and Israeli tax savings due to net operating losses for the calendar years 2029 and beyond having also been adjusted for the degree of estimated dilution to current stockholders through each respective applicable period (which totaled approximately 14% in the case of the terminal value) due to the estimated net effects of equity issuances and cancellations related to future equity compensation, based on estimates of future dilution provided by management of the Company.

Based on the calculations set forth above, this analysis implied a range of values for Company Shares of approximately $11.31 to $17.89 per share.

Selected Companies Analysis

Qatalyst Partners reviewed and compared selected financial information and public market multiples for the Company with publicly available financial information and public market multiples for selected companies. The companies used in this comparison were those companies listed below, which were selected by Qatalyst Partners in its professional judgment, based on factors including that they are publicly traded companies in similar lines of business to the Company, have a similar business model, have similar financial performance or have other relevant or similar characteristics.

Based on third-party research analyst consensus estimates as of June 3, 2024, and using the closing prices as of June 3, 2024, for shares of the selected companies, Qatalyst Partners calculated, among other things, the fully diluted enterprise value divided by the estimated consensus revenue for calendar year 2024 (which are referred to as the “CY24E revenue multiples”), for each of the selected companies, as shown below:

Selected Software Companies	CY2024E Revenue Multiple
Vertex, Inc.		8.5
Wix.com Ltd.		5.6
Squarespace, Inc. (1)		5.0
PagerDuty, Inc.		4.0
UiPath Inc.		3.8
Jamf Holding Corp.		3.8
Alarm.com Holdings, Inc.		3.5
Sprinklr, Inc.		3.1
Amplitude, Inc.		3.1
Zuora, Inc. (2)		2.8

Zoom Video Communications, Inc.		2.8

(1)	Fully diluted equity value reflects closing share price as of May 10, 2024, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Company’s take-private transaction.

(2)	Fully diluted equity value reflects closing share price as of April 16, 2024, the last trading day prior to the publication of a Reuters article reporting on a potential sale of the Company.

(3)	Fully diluted equity value reflects closing share price as of May 6, 2024, the last trading day prior to the publication of a Reuters article reporting on a potential sale of the Company.

Based on an analysis of the CY2024E revenue multiples for the selected companies and the application of its professional judgment, Qatalyst Partners selected a representative multiple range of 1.75x to 3.50x. Qatalyst Partners then applied this range to the Company’s estimated revenue for calendar year 2024, based on the Company Financial Projections and based on the Street Estimates. Based on the fully diluted Company Shares outstanding as of May 30, 2024 (calculated utilizing the same methodology as used in the above discounted cash flow analysis), this analysis implied (a) a range of values for Company Shares of approximately $7.96 to $12.57 per share based on the Company Financial Projections and (b) a range of values for Company Shares of approximately $7.94 to $12.53 per share based on the Street Estimates.

No company included in the selected companies analysis is identical to the Company. In evaluating the selected companies, Qatalyst Partners made judgments and assumptions with regard to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters. Many of these matters are beyond the control of the Company, such as the impact of competition on the Company’s business or the industry in general, industry growth and the absence of any material adverse change in the Company’s financial condition and prospects or in the industry or the financial markets in general. Individual multiples or mathematical analysis, such as determining the arithmetic mean, median, or the high or low, is not in itself a meaningful method of using selected company data.

Selected Transactions Analysis

Qatalyst Partners compared 15 selected public company transactions, including transactions involving companies participating in similar lines of business to the Company or with similar business models, similar financial performance or other relevant or similar characteristics.

For each of the selected transactions listed below, Qatalyst Partners reviewed, among other things, (a) the implied fully diluted enterprise value of the target company as a multiple of last-twelve-months’ revenue of the target company (which are referred to as the “LTM revenue multiples”) and (b) the implied fully diluted enterprise value of the target company as a multiple of third-party research analyst consensus estimates of the next-twelve-months’ revenue of the target company (which are referred to as the “NTM revenue multiples”).

11/02/15	Constant Contact, Inc.	Endurance International Group Holdings, Inc.	2.6	2.3
09/30/13	The Active Network, Inc.	Vista Equity Partners	2.1	2.0

Based on the analysis of the LTM revenue multiples for the selected transactions and its professional judgment, Qatalyst Partners selected a representative multiple range of 3.0x to 5.0x then applied this range to the Company’s last-twelve months’ revenue (calculated as the 12-month period ended March 31, 2024). Based on the fully diluted Company Shares outstanding as of May 30, 2024 (calculated utilizing the same methodology as used in the above discounted cash flow analysis), this analysis implied a range of values for Company Shares of approximately $10.88 to $15.81 per share.

Based on the analysis of the NTM revenue multiples for the selected transactions and its professional judgment, Qatalyst Partners selected a representative multiple range of 2.5x to 4.5x, then applied this range to the Company’s estimated next-twelve months’ revenue (calculated as the 12-month period ending March 31, 2025) based on the Street Estimates. Based on the fully diluted Company Shares outstanding as of May 30, 2024 (calculated utilizing the same methodology as used in the above discounted cash flow analysis) as provided by management of the Company, this analysis implied a range of values for Company Shares of approximately $10.05 to $15.33 per share.

No company or transaction utilized in the selected transactions analysis is identical to the Company or the Merger. In evaluating the selected transactions, Qatalyst Partners made judgments and assumptions with regard to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, such as the impact of competition on the Company’s business or the industry generally, industry growth and the absence of any material adverse change in the Company’s financial condition and prospects or in the industry or the financial markets in general, which could affect the public trading value of the companies and the aggregate value of the transactions to which they are being compared. Individual multiples or mathematical analysis, such as determining the arithmetic mean, median, or the high or low, is not in itself a meaningful method of using selected transactional data. Because of the unique circumstances of each of these transactions and the Merger, Qatalyst Partners cautioned the Company against placing undue reliance on this information.

Miscellaneous

In connection with the review of the Merger by the Board, Qatalyst Partners performed a variety of financial and comparative analyses for purposes of rendering its opinion. The preparation of a financial opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily amenable to a partial analysis or summary description. In arriving at its opinion, Qatalyst Partners considered the results of all its analyses as a whole and did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor it considered. Qatalyst Partners believes that selecting any portion of its analyses, without considering all analyses as a whole, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying its analyses and opinion. In addition, Qatalyst Partners may have given various analyses and factors more or less weight than other analyses and factors, and may have deemed various assumptions more or less probable than other assumptions. As a result, the ranges of valuations resulting from any particular analysis described above should not be taken to be Qatalyst Partners’ view of the actual value of the Company. In performing its analyses, Qatalyst Partners made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Any estimates contained in Qatalyst Partners’ analyses are not necessarily indicative of future results or actual values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by such estimates.

Qatalyst Partners conducted the analyses described above solely as part of its analysis of the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the per share merger consideration to be received by the holders of Company Shares for each Company Share pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement, to such holders. These analyses do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the price at which Company Shares might actually trade or otherwise be transferable at any time.

Qatalyst Partners’ opinion and its presentation to the Board was one of many factors considered by the Board in deciding to approve the Merger Agreement. Consequently, the analyses as described above should not be viewed as determinative of the opinion of the Board with respect to the per share merger consideration to be received by the holders of Company Shares pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement or of whether the Board would have been willing to agree to different consideration. The per share merger consideration payable in the Merger was determined through arm’s-length negotiations between the Company and Parent and was approved by the Board. Qatalyst Partners provided advice to the Company during these negotiations. Qatalyst Partners did not, however, recommend any specific consideration to the Company or that any specific consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the Merger.

Qatalyst Partners provides investment banking and other services to a wide range of entities and individuals, domestically and offshore, from which conflicting interests or duties may arise. In the ordinary course of these activities, affiliates of Qatalyst Partners may at any time hold long or short positions, and may trade or otherwise effect transactions in debt or equity securities or loans of the Company, Parent or certain of their respective affiliates. During the two-year period prior to the date of Qatalyst Partners’ opinion, no material relationship existed between Qatalyst Partners or any of its affiliates and the Company or Parent pursuant to which compensation was received by Qatalyst Partners or its affiliates. Qatalyst Partners and/or its affiliates may in the future provide investment banking and other financial services to the Company or Parent or their respective affiliates for which Qatalyst Partners would expect to receive compensation.

Under the terms of its engagement letter, Qatalyst Partners provided the Company with financial advisory services in connection with the Merger for which it will be paid an aggregate amount currently estimated at approximately $27 million, $4 million of which was payable upon delivery of its opinion (regardless of the conclusion reached in the opinion), and the remaining portion of which will be paid upon, and subject to, the closing of the Merger. The Company has also agreed to reimburse Qatalyst Partners for certain expenses incurred in performing its services. The Company has also agreed to indemnify Qatalyst Partners and its affiliates, their respective members, directors, officers, partners, agents and employees and any person controlling Qatalyst Partners or any of its affiliates against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws, and certain expenses related to or arising out of Qatalyst Partners’ engagement.

Interests of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger

When considering the recommendation of the Board that you vote to approve the Merger Proposal, you should be aware that the Company’s directors and executive officers may have interests in the Merger that are different from, or in addition to, those of the Company’s shareholders in general, as described below. The Board was aware of these interests during its deliberations on the merits of the Merger and in deciding to recommend that Company shareholders vote in favor of the Merger Proposal. These interests generally include, among others, the rights to accelerated vesting of equity awards, entitlement to certain severance payments, indemnification and insurance and certain payments and benefits provisions contained in or permitted by the Merger Agreement.

The Company’s executive officers are the same individuals who are disclosed as “executive officers” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC.

Treatment of Company Equity Awards

The Company Equity Awards held by the Company’s non‑employee directors and executive officers will be treated as described below in the section captioned “The Merger Agreement—Treatment of Company Equity Awards.” Company Equity Awards held by the Company’s non‑employee directors will become fully vested immediately prior to the Effective Time and will be cancelled in exchange for cash at the Effective Time. The estimated aggregate amount that would be payable to the Company’s non‑employee directors in settlement of their outstanding Company Options to purchase approximately 351,885 Company Shares is $1,357,268. The amounts in this paragraph exclude 24,828 Company Options with a per share exercise price that is equal to or greater than the per share merger consideration, and are determined using the number of outstanding Company Equity Awards held by the non‑employee directors as of June 15, 2024, using a value of $14.00 per Company Share, and assuming that the Effective Time occurs on June 15, 2024. While none of the Company’s non-employee directors held Company RSU Awards as of June 15, 2024, each non-employee director will, in accordance with, and solely to the extent required by, the terms of the applicable compensation policies and/or arrangements applicable to the Company’s non-employee directors, automatically receive Company RSU Awards with a grant date value of $90,000 and Company Options with a grant date value of $90,000 at the first quarterly meeting of the board of directors of the Company following the Company’s next annual general meeting of shareholders (or, in the case of Michele Bettencourt, 25,000 Company RSU Awards and Company Options with a value of $90,000 on the date of the Company’s next annual general meeting of shareholders), in each case, to the extent the applicable grant date occurs prior to the Effective Time and subject to the non-employee director’s continued service through the applicable grant date.

As described below under “Termination Payments and Benefits,” outstanding and unvested Company Equity Awards held by the Company’s executive officers are subject to certain accelerated vesting benefits upon a qualifying termination of employment in connection with the closing of the Merger. The estimated aggregate amount that would be payable to the Company’s executive officers in settlement of their outstanding vested and exercisable Company Options to purchase 3,202,095 Company Shares, in settlement of their outstanding Unvested Company Options to purchase approximately 602,135 Company Shares, in settlement of their outstanding Company PSU Awards in respect of 121,666 Company Shares and in settlement of their outstanding Company RSU Awards (excluding Company PSU Awards) in respect of 1,396,094 Company Shares is approximately $47,379,795. The amounts in this paragraph exclude 12,500 vested and exercisable Company Options and 187,500 Unvested Company Options, in each case, with a per share exercise price that is equal to or greater than the per share merger consideration, and are determined using the number of outstanding unvested and outstanding exercisable Company equity awards held by the executive officers as of June 15, 2024, using a value of $14.00 per Company Share, assuming that the Effective Time occurs on June 15, 2024, and assuming that each executive officer underwent a qualifying termination of employment immediately following the Effective Time.

The amounts in the paragraphs above do not include any grants, issuances or forfeitures of equity or incentive awards after June 15, 2024, and prior to the completion of the Merger, and do not reflect any Company RSU Awards that vested prior to the assumed Effective Time of June 15, 2024 (including the 31,250 Company Shares representing, as of June 15, 2024, the vested portion of the Adika RSUs subject to shareholder approval of the CEO Compensation Proposal).

Termination Payments and Benefits

Dan Adika Employment Agreement

The Company has entered into an employment agreement (the “Adika Employment Agreement”) with Dan Adika, our Chief Executive Officer, which provides for certain payments and benefits in the event that we terminate Mr. Adika’s employment without “cause” or Mr. Adika terminates his employment for “good reason” (as each of these terms is defined in the Adika Employment Agreement) (referred to herein as a “qualifying termination”). Upon a qualifying termination, Mr. Adika will generally be entitled to six months’ notice and an additional six-month “adjustment period”, which will commence at the end of the notice period. During the notice and adjustment periods, Mr. Adika will be entitled to receive continued payments of base salary and all other payments and benefits under the Adika Employment Agreement as though he continued to work for the Company through the end of the adjustment period, including, but not limited to, payments to the managers insurance policy and pension funds and education fund, continued vesting of any then-unvested equity awards, convalescence pay, and bonuses. If requested by Mr. Adika, the Company will make a lump-sum payment to Mr. Adika equal to the payments and benefits he would have been entitled to receive during the adjustment period. The amounts described in the foregoing paragraph would be payable to Mr. Adika in connection with any qualifying termination of employment without regard to the occurrence of the Merger or any other change in control transaction and could be viewed on that basis as unrelated to the Merger. In addition, in the event of Mr. Adika’s termination of employment, Mr. Adika will be entitled to a non-compete grant, if determined by the compensation committee and the Board, equal to six months’ base salary.

In the event of Mr. Adika’s qualifying termination within the twelve-month period following a “change in control” (as defined in the Adika Employment Agreement), then the adjustment period described above will be for twelve months instead of six months. In addition, in the event of Mr. Adika’s qualifying termination within the twelve-month period following a change in control, all of Mr. Adika’s unvested annual equity awards will become fully vested, earned and exercisable. The amounts described in this paragraph would constitute “double-trigger” payments and benefits.

The terms of the Adika Employment Agreement described above have been modified by the Waiver Agreement entered into by and between Mr. Adika and the Company in connection with, and contingent upon, the consummation of the Merger. For further details of the Waiver Agreements, see the section below entitled, “The Merger—Interests of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger—Arrangements with Parent.”

Hagit Ynon Termination Rights and Change in Control Agreement

The Company has entered into a termination rights and change in control agreement (as amended, the “Ynon CIC Agreement”) with Hagit Ynon, our Chief Financial Officer. Pursuant to the Ynon CIC Agreement, in the event of a termination of Ms. Ynon’s employment by the Company without “cause” or by Ms. Ynon for “good reason” (as each such term is defined in the Ynon CIC Agreement), subject to her continued compliance with the restrictive covenants set forth in a separate agreement between Mr. Ynon and the Company, Ms. Ynon will be generally entitled to ninety days’ notice and a six-month adjustment period, which will commence at the end of the notice period. During the adjustment period, Ms. Ynon will be entitled to receive continued payments of base salary and all other payments and benefits under the employment agreement, including, but not limited to, continued vesting of any then-unvested equity awards. The amounts described in this paragraph would be payable to Ms. Ynon in connection with any qualifying termination of employment without regard to the occurrence of the Merger or any other change in control transaction and could be viewed on that basis as unrelated to the Merger.

In the event of Ms. Ynon’s qualifying termination within the three-month period prior to, or the twelve-month period following a “change in control” (as defined in the Ynon CIC Agreement), then the adjustment period described above will be for twelve months instead of six months, and Ms. Ynon will be entitled to accelerated vesting in full of certain then-unvested equity awards unless otherwise set forth in the applicable award agreement (excluding the Company Options granted to Ms. Ynon on February 11, 2020 and February 24, 2021). The amounts described in the forgoing sentence in respect of the additional six months of the adjustment period and accelerated vesting of equity awards would constitute “double-trigger” payments and benefits.

The terms of the Ynon CIC Agreement described above have been modified by the Waiver Agreement entered into by and between Ms. Ynon and the Company in connection with, and contingent upon, the consummation of the Merger. For further details of the Waiver Agreements, see the section below entitled, “The Merger—Interests of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger—Arrangements with Parent.”

Scott Little Severance and Change in Control Agreement

The Company has entered into a severance and change in control agreement (the “Little CIC Agreement”) with Scott Little, our Chief Revenue Officer. Pursuant to the Little CIC Agreement, upon a termination of Mr. Little’s employment by the Company without “cause” or by Mr. Little for “good reason” (as each such term is defined in the Little CIC Agreement), in either case, within the three-month period prior to, or the twelve-month period following, a “change in control” (as defined in the Little CIC Agreement), subject to Mr. Little’s execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims and continued compliance with applicable restrictive covenants, Mr. Little will be entitled to (i) ninety days’ notice, (ii) continued payments of base salary for twelve months following the date of termination, (iii) a pro-rated portion of his annual target bonus opportunity, payable in equal installments over the 12-month period following the date of termination, (iv) continued health coverage for up to twelve months and (v) accelerated vesting in full of then-unvested equity awards unless otherwise set forth in the applicable award agreement. The amounts described above constitute “double-trigger” payments and benefits.

The Little CIC Agreement provides for a “best net” approach such that if the payment of any amounts to Mr. Little would subject Mr. Little to the excise tax provisions of Section 280G of the Code, the payments would be reduced to an amount below the threshold at which such penalty tax provisions apply if such a reduction (and the avoidance of such penalty taxes) would be more favorable to Mr. Little on an after-tax basis. The Board has not approved any specific actions to mitigate the potential impact of Section 280G of the Code on the Company, Mr. Little or any disqualified individuals, but may approve specific actions in the future, subject to Parent’s prior written consent.

The terms of the Little CIC Agreement described above have been modified by the Waiver Agreement entered into by and between Mr. Little and the Company in connection with, and contingent upon, the consummation of the Merger. For further details of the Waiver Agreements, see the section below entitled, “The Merger—Interests of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers—Arrangements with Parent.”

No Section 280G Golden Parachute Excise Tax Gross-Ups

Our executive officers are not entitled to receive gross-ups or tax reimbursements from the Company with respect to any potential excise taxes.

Indemnification and Insurance

For a period of seven years from and after the Effective Time, Parent will cause the Surviving Company to fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company pursuant to any indemnification and exculpation, including advancements of expenses, provisions under the Articles and policies and any indemnification agreement between the Company, on the one hand, and any of its current or former directors and officers (collectively, the “Covered Persons”), on the other hand, in each case, (x) as in effect on the date the Merger Agreement was signed and (y) to the extent set forth in the confidential Company Disclosure Letter delivered in connection with the Merger Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Letter”), with respect to acts or omissions by them in their capacities as such at any time at or prior to the Effective Time to the extent permitted by law (subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 259(b), 263 and 264 of the ICL).

Prior to the Closing (as defined in the section of this proxy statement captioned “The Merger—Closing and Effective Time”), the Company will obtain a prepaid “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy covering acts or omissions occurring prior to the Closing Date with respect to those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s or of any of its subsidiaries’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy on terms with respect to such coverage and amount no less favorable in the aggregate to the Company’s or of any of its subsidiaries’ directors and officers currently covered by such insurance than those of such policy in effect on the date the Merger Agreement was signed; provided, however, that such “tail” policy will (x) provide such coverage for seven years from the Closing Date, (y) be obtained, in consultation with Parent, from the Company’s or Parent’s current insurance company or another reputable insurance company reasonably satisfactory to Parent and (z) not have an annual premium in excess of 200% of the last annual premium paid for such a policy by the Company prior to the Closing.

Employee Benefits Following the Effective Time

The Merger Agreement provides that Parent will, or will cause the Surviving Company to, provide each employee of the Company or its subsidiaries who continues to be employed by Parent or the Surviving Company or any of their respective subsidiaries following the Effective Time with certain compensation and benefits during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, as described below in the section captioned “The Merger Agreement—Employee Benefits.”

Arrangements with Parent

As of the date of this proxy statement, none of our directors have entered into any agreement with Parent or any of its affiliates regarding individualized compensation arrangements with, or the right to purchase or participate in the equity of, Parent or one or more of its affiliates. As of the date of this proxy statement, certain of our executive officers have entered into waiver agreements with the Company (collectively, the “Waiver Agreements”), pursuant to which our executive officers have generally agreed to the following, as applicable, contingent upon the consummation of the Merger: (i) a modified definition of “good reason,” (ii) the waiver of any single-trigger payments or benefits (including any single-trigger accelerated vesting of equity awards), (iii) the limitation of any change in control protection period to the twelve-month period following the consummation of the Merger and (iv) the Actual Achievement Treatment of performance-based Company Equity Awards. For further details regarding the Actual Achievement Treatment, see the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—Treatment of Company Equity Awards—PSU Award Treatment.”

For purposes of the Waiver Agreements, “good reason” is defined as any of the following events or conditions without the executive officer’s written consent: (i) a ten percent (10%) or greater decrease in the executive officer’s annual base salary (other than any across-the-board reductions applicable to similarly-situated employees); (ii) a material reduction of the executive officer’s duties or responsibilities with respect to the core aspects of his or her job, relative to such duties or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to such reduction; provided, however, that the following shall not constitute Good Reason: (A) a reduction in such duties or responsibilities solely by virtue of (1) the Company ceasing to be a publicly traded company, (2) the Merger or (3) the Company becoming a subsidiary (as, for example, when such duties and responsibilities for the business of the Company remain materially the same following the Merger but such duties and responsibilities do not extend to Parent and its other subsidiaries); (B) a change in the executive officer’s title or reporting duties made on account of the Merger; or (C) a reduction in the executive officer’s duties or responsibilities with respect to the non-core aspects of his or her job or (iii) a relocation of the executive officer’s principal place of employment to a place that increases his or her one-way commute by more than fifty (50) miles, except for required travel on Company business. If the executive officer desires to terminate employment for good reason, the executive officer must provide the Company with written notice no later than 30 days after such event or condition that the executive officer believes constitutes good reason occurs, specifying the alleged good reason event or condition. The Company will have 30 days to cure such event or condition (if curable), and the executive officer must terminate his or her services within 30 days after the end of such 30-day cure period if the Company has not cured such event or condition.

In addition to the Waiver Agreements, prior to or following the Closing Date, certain of our executive officers and directors may have discussions, or may enter into agreements with, Parent or its affiliates regarding individualized compensation arrangements with, or the right to purchase or participate in the equity of, Parent or one or more of its affiliates.

Voting and Support Agreements

As a condition to Parent’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement and as a material inducement in consideration therefor, concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the Supporting Shareholders, who collectively hold approximately 58% of the outstanding Company Shares as of the date of the Merger Agreement, have each entered into a Support Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, each Supporting Shareholder has agreed, subject to the terms thereof, to vote all Company Shares owned by such Supporting Shareholder in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions and against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would prevent, impede or delay the consummation of the Transactions. The obligations of the Supporting Shareholders terminate under certain circumstances, including if the Merger Agreement is terminated.

A form of the Support Agreement is attached as Annex C to this proxy statement.

Financing of the Merger

Closing and Effective Time

The Closing will take place as soon as practicable and by no later than the fourth business day after the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted by law or under the Merger Agreement) of the last to be satisfied or waived of the conditions to Closing set forth in the Merger Agreement (as described under the caption “The Merger Agreement—Conditions to the Closing of the Merger”), other than any such conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted by law or under the Merger Agreement) of such conditions at the Closing, or such other date mutually agreed upon in writing by the Company and Parent. As soon as practicable after the determination of the date on which the Closing is to take place, each of the Company and Merger Sub will deliver to the Companies Registrar a notice of the contemplated Merger and the proposed date on which the Companies Registrar is requested to issue the Certificate of Merger after notice that the Closing has occurred is served to the Companies Registrar, which the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall deliver on the Closing Date. The Merger will become effective upon the issuance by the Companies Registrar of the Certificate of Merger in accordance with Section 323(5) of the ICL, which will be deemed to be the Effective Time.

No Appraisal Rights

Under Israeli law, holders of Company Shares are not entitled to statutory appraisal rights in connection with the Merger.

U.S. Federal and Israeli Income Tax Consequences of the Merger

Tax matters are very complicated, and the tax consequences of the Merger to you will depend on your particular situation. This discussion is not intended to be a complete analysis or description of all potential tax consequences of the receipt of cash in exchange for your Company Shares pursuant to the Merger. You are encouraged to consult your own tax advisor regarding the specific tax consequences of the Merger to you, including tax return reporting requirements, the applicability of U.S. federal, state, local, Israeli and other non‑U.S. tax laws and the effect of any proposed change in such tax laws.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following discussion is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger to U.S. Holders (as defined below).

This discussion is based on the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (“Treasury Regulations”), published guidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and court decisions, in each case, all as currently in effect as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, and to differing interpretations. Any such change or different interpretation could affect the accuracy of the statements and conclusions set forth in this discussion. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax considerations described in this discussion. No advance ruling has been or will be sought from the IRS regarding any matter discussed below.

The following discussion assumes that the Merger will be consummated as described in this proxy statement and applies only to U.S. Holders that hold their Company Shares as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment).

This discussion does not constitute tax advice and does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to any particular U.S. Holder in light of such U.S. Holder’s personal circumstances, including any tax consequences relating to the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income or the alternative minimum tax, or to any U.S. Holders subject to special treatment under the Code, including, without limitation:

•

banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions;

•

real estate investment trusts and regulated investment companies;

•

brokers, dealers or traders in securities;

•

tax-exempt organizations, governmental agencies, instrumentalities or other governmental organizations and pension funds;

•

dealers or brokers in securities or foreign currency;

•

tax‑qualified retirement plans;

•

corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax (and investors therein);

•

persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

•

U.S. expatriates and former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

•

persons who hold their Company Shares as part of a straddle, hedging, conversion, constructive sale or other risk reduction transaction or integrated investment;

•

persons who purchase or sell their Company Shares as part of a wash sale for tax purposes;

•

“S corporations,” partnerships or other entities or arrangements classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or other pass-through entities (and investors therein);

•

persons who hold their Company Shares through a bank, financial institution or other entity, or a branch thereof, located, organized or resident outside of the United States;

•

persons required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to their Company Shares as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement;

•

persons who own or have owned (directly, indirectly or through attribution) more than 5% of the voting power or value of all Company Shares;

•

persons who received their Company Shares pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or other compensation arrangements; and

•

persons who own an equity interest in Parent following the Merger.

This discussion also does not address any considerations under the U.S. federal tax laws other than those pertaining to the income tax, nor does it address any state, local or non‑U.S. tax considerations. We do not intend to seek any rulings from the IRS with respect to the Merger, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a position contrary to the tax consequences described herein or that such a contrary position would not be sustained by a court.

If a partnership, including any arrangement or entity that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holds Company Shares, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner (including for this purpose an investor treated as a partner) in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner, the activities of the partner and the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, a holder that is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the partners in such partnership are urged to consult their tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger and of the ownership and disposition of Company Shares.

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Company Shares that for U.S. federal income tax purposes is or is treated as any of the following:

•

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

•

a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

•

an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

•

a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and all substantial decisions of which are subject to the control of one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), or (2) has a valid election in effect to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

THIS DISCUSSION IS NOT TAX ADVICE. HOLDERS OF COMPANY SHARES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER IN LIGHT OF THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER U.S. FEDERAL TAX LAWS OTHER THAN THOSE PERTAINING TO INCOME TAX, INCLUDING ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS, OR UNDER ANY STATE, LOCAL OR NON‑U.S. TAX LAWS OR ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATY.

HOLDERS OF COMPANY SHARES WHO ARE NOT U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME AND WITHHOLDING TAX CONSEQUENCES AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE, LOCAL OR NON‑U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER.

The receipt by a U.S. Holder of cash in exchange for Company Shares pursuant to the Merger will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Generally, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash it receives pursuant to the Merger and its aggregate adjusted tax basis in the Company Shares that it exchanges for such cash. A U.S. Holder’s aggregate adjusted tax basis in such Company Shares will generally equal the amount that such U.S. Holder paid for such Company Shares.

Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder generally would be long‑term capital gain or loss if the Company Shares surrendered were held for more than one year as of the effective date of the Merger and would be short‑term capital gain or loss if the Company Shares surrendered were held for one year or less as of the effective date of the Merger. A reduced tax rate generally applies to long‑term capital gain of a non‑corporate U.S. Holder (including individuals). The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. If a U.S. Holder acquired different blocks of Company Shares at different times or at different prices, such U.S. Holder must determine its adjusted tax basis and holding period separately with respect to each block of Company Shares (generally, shares acquired at the same cost in a single transaction).

The foregoing discussion regarding gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder as a result of the Merger assumes that the Company is not currently, and has not been, a “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes during such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Company Shares exchanged pursuant to the Merger.

Special and adverse U.S. tax rules apply to a U.S. Holder that holds an interest in a PFIC. In general, a non‑U.S. corporation is treated as a PFIC for any taxable year if either: (a) at least 75% of its gross income for such year is passive income or (b) at least 50% of the value of its assets (based on a quarterly average) is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. Passive income for this purpose generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, royalties, rents, and gains from commodities and securities transactions. In determining whether a non‑U.S. corporation is a PFIC, a proportionate share of the assets and income of each corporation in which it owns, directly or indirectly, at least 25% interest (by value) is taken into account. Under the PFIC rules, if a non‑U.S. corporation were considered a PFIC at any time during which a holder held shares in such non‑U.S. corporation, then the non‑U.S. corporation would (absent certain elections) generally continue to be treated as a PFIC for all subsequent years with respect to such holder’s shares regardless of whether such non‑U.S. corporation continues to meet the tests noted above in any subsequent taxable year.

A non-U.S. corporation’s PFIC status is determined annually after the close of each taxable year. Based on the historical composition of the Company’s income, assets, and operations, the Company believes that it was not a PFIC for any completed taxable year, and the Company does not expect to be treated as a PFIC for the current taxable year. However, given that the annual PFIC determination is fundamentally factual in nature and is based on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to different interpretations, there can be no assurance that the Company was not or will not be classified as a PFIC for one or more of such taxable years.

If the Company were a PFIC in the current taxable year or in any prior taxable year in which a U.S. Holder has held Company Shares, then such U.S. Holder generally would be subject to special and adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences with respect to gain recognized on any sale or exchange of such shares, including an exchange of such shares pursuant to the Merger, unless such U.S. Holder has in effect certain elections, such as the mark‑to‑market election.

The U.S. federal income tax rules relating to PFICs are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors concerning whether the Company is or has been a PFIC for any taxable year during which such U.S. Holder has owned Company Shares, the availability of any applicable elections to such U.S. Holder and the tax consequences of exchanging Company Shares pursuant to the Merger.

U.S. Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

A U.S. Holder may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding in respect of the payment of cash in exchange for Company Shares pursuant to the Merger. Backup withholding will not apply if such U.S. Holder furnishes a properly completed and executed IRS Form W‑9, or otherwise establishes an exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. Each holder should consult such holder’s tax advisor regarding the information reporting and backup withholding tax rules.

Israeli Tax Consequences

The following is a summary discussion of certain material Israeli tax considerations in connection with the Merger. The following summary is presented for general information purposes only and should not be conceived as tax advice to any particular holder of Company Shares. This summary is based upon current Israeli tax law. No assurance can be given that new or future legislation, regulations or interpretations will not significantly change the tax considerations described below, and any such change may apply retroactively. This summary does not discuss all material aspects of Israeli tax consequences that may apply to particular holders of Company Shares in light of their particular circumstances, such as investors subject to special tax rules or other investors referred to below.

In general, under the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance (New Version) 1961, as amended (the “Ordinance”), the disposition of shares of an Israeli company is deemed to be a sale of a capital asset. The Ordinance generally imposes a capital gains tax on the sale of capital assets by an Israeli resident, and on the sale of such assets by a non‑Israel resident if those assets are (a) located in Israel, (b) shares or a right to a share in an Israeli resident company, or (c) represent, directly or indirectly, rights to assets located in Israel, unless a specific exemption is available under the Israeli tax rules or if a treaty for the prevention of double taxation between Israel and the transferor’s country of residence provides otherwise (subject to the receipt in advance of a valid certificate from the ITA allowing for an exemption).

Under the Ordinance and regulations promulgated thereunder, the tax rate applicable to real capital gains (after adjustment for inflation surplus, as discussed below) derived from the disposition of Company Shares in the Merger is 25% for individuals, unless such shareholder claims a deduction for certain financing expenses in connection with such shares, in which case the gain will generally be taxed at a rate of 30%. Additionally, if such individual is considered a “Significant Shareholder” at the time of the disposition or at any time during the 12‑month period preceding such disposition, i.e., such shareholder holds directly or indirectly, alone or together with such person’s relative or another person who collaborates with such person on a permanent basis, at least 10% of any means of control (including, among other things, the right to receive profits of the Company, voting rights, the right to receive the Company’s liquidation assets and the right to appoint a director or an executive officer) in the Company, the tax rate will be 30%. Certain attribution rules apply in determining a status of a “Significant Shareholder” including with respect to holders of Company Shares who are relatives, or holders who are not relatives but who have an agreement regarding regular direct or indirect cooperation on substantive matters relating to the Company. Israeli law distinguishes between real capital gain and inflationary surplus. The inflationary surplus is generally exempt from tax. Please consult with your own tax advisor as to the method you should use to determine the inflationary surplus. The real capital gain is the excess of the total capital gain over the inflationary surplus. Real capital gains derived by Israeli companies are generally taxed at the ordinary corporate tax rate (the ordinary corporate tax rate is currently 23%). The foregoing tax rates will not apply to individual shareholder dealing in securities or to an individual shareholder for whom such income is otherwise taxable as ordinary business income, currently, 23% for companies and a marginal tax rate of up to 47% for individuals. An additional tax of 3% is imposed on individuals (whether Israeli residents or non-Israeli residents) whose annual taxable income from all sources, regardless of classification, exceeds a certain threshold (NIS 721,560 for 2024). The additional 3% tax is imposed on any amount which exceeds that threshold.

Under the Treaty, Israeli capital gains tax generally will not apply to the disposition of shares of an Israeli company by a U.S. shareholder who is entitled to claim the benefits afforded to such a resident by the Treaty (a “U.S. Treaty Resident”) and holds the shares as a capital asset. However, such exemption will not apply if (a) the U.S. Treaty Resident has held, directly or indirectly, shares representing 10% or more of the voting power in the Company during any part of the 12‑month period preceding the disposition, subject to specified conditions, (b) the capital gains from such disposition may be attributed to a permanent establishment that such U.S. Treaty Resident maintained in Israel, (c) the seller, being an individual, is present in Israel for a period or periods of 183 days or more in the aggregate during the relevant taxable year, (d) the capital gains arising from such sale, exchange or disposition is attributed to real estate located in Israel, or (e) the capital gains arising from such sale, exchange or disposition is attributed to royalties. In any such case, the sale, exchange or disposition of such shares would be subject to Israeli tax, to the extent applicable; however, under the Treaty, a U.S. Treaty Resident would generally be permitted to claim a credit for the tax against the U.S. federal income tax imposed with respect to the sale, exchange or disposition, subject to the limitations in U.S. laws applicable to foreign tax credits. Eligibility to benefit from tax treaties is conditioned upon the holder of Company Shares presenting a valid certificate from the ITA providing for such an exemption prior to the applicable payment for such shares.

Other countries are party to tax treaties with Israel that, subject to the provisions of those treaties, may exempt a non-Israeli resident shareholder from Israeli tax. You are urged to consult with your own tax advisor regarding the applicability of these tax treaties to you and your receipt of merger consideration.

In addition, Israeli law generally exempts non‑residents of Israel (whether an individual or a corporation) from Israeli capital gains tax on the sale of shares traded on the TASE or on a regulated market outside of Israel, such as the Nasdaq, provided, among other things, that (a) the shares were acquired after the date on which these shares were registered for trading, (b) such gains were not derived from a permanent business or business activity that the non‑Israeli resident maintains in Israel and (c) for shares traded on a stock exchange outside of Israel, such shareholders are not subject to the Israeli Income Tax Law (Inflationary Adjustments) 5745‑1985. These provisions dealing with capital gain are not applicable to a person whose gains from selling or otherwise disposing of the shares are deemed to be business income. Nevertheless, a non‑Israeli “body of persons” (as defined in the Ordinance, which includes corporations, partnerships and other entities) will not be entitled to the foregoing exemptions if Israeli residents (x) have a controlling interest of more than 25% in such non‑Israeli body of persons or (y) are the beneficiaries of or are entitled to 25% or more of the revenues or profits of such non‑Israeli body of persons, whether directly or indirectly. Company shareholders who acquired their Company Shares prior to June 16, 2021 (the date on which the Company listed its shares on the Nasdaq) and who do not qualify for an exemption from Israeli capital gains tax under the Ordinance or an applicable tax treaty to which the State of Israel is a party, including the Treaty (which exemption requires the receipt in advance of a valid certificate from the ITA providing for such an exemption), may be subject to Israeli capital gains tax on the disposition of their Company Shares in the Merger. Such shareholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the Merger to them.

As contemplated in the Merger Agreement, Parent and the Company have agreed to file requests for certain tax rulings from the ITA, requesting, among other things, as follows:

•

The first request (the “Withholding Tax Ruling”) will ask that the ITA either exempt Parent, the Exchange Agent and the Surviving Company (and their respective agents) from the obligation to withhold Israeli tax at source from the per share merger consideration or provide detailed instructions on how such withholding at source is to be executed in connection with the Merger. In addition, the request will ask that non-Israeli shareholders who purchased their Company Shares on or after June 16, 2021 (the date on which the Company listed its shares on Nasdaq) and hold less than 5% of the outstanding Company Shares will be exempt from withholding to the extent that such shareholders will provide the Exchange Agent with certain declarations and documents regarding their non-Israeli residency and the date on which the Company Shares were purchased. Such request will also ask that the ITA provide a process for exempting non-Israeli holders of options, RSUs and PSUs from Israeli withholding tax. Regardless of whether we obtain the Withholding Tax Ruling from the ITA, any holder of Company Shares who believes that it is entitled to an exemption (or a reduced tax rate) may separately apply to the ITA to obtain a certificate of exemption from withholding or an individual tax ruling providing an exemption from withholding or withholding at a reduced rate, and submit such certificate of exemption or ruling to the Exchange Agent at least three business days prior to the date that is 365 days following the Closing Date. If Parent or the Exchange Agent receives a valid exemption certificate or tax ruling (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent and the Exchange Agent) at least three business days prior to the date that is 365 days following the Closing Date, then the withholding (if any) of any amounts under the Ordinance, from the per share merger consideration shall be made in accordance with the provisions of such tax certificate or tax ruling.

•

The second request (the “Options Tax Ruling”) will ask that the ITA confirms, among other things, that (i) the cancellation and exchange of the Section 102 Awards and the conversion of the Section 102 Shares pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement shall not be regarded as a violation of the “requisite holding period” (as such term is defined in Section 102 of the Ordinance) so long as the consideration payable with respect to such awards is deposited with the 102 Trustee until the end of the respective holding period, and released only after the lapse of the requisite holding period, and after the applicable Israeli Tax will be withheld by the 102 Trustee; and (ii) Parent and anyone acting on its behalf shall be exempt from withholding of tax in relation to any payments made to the 102 Trustee with respect to shares and employee equity awards which are subject to the trustee arrangement pursuant to Section 102 of the Ordinance or awards that are subject to Section 3(i) of the Ordinance. If the Options Tax Ruling is not obtained prior to the Closing or in accordance with the instructions of the ITA, the Company will seek to obtain an interim tax ruling (the “Interim Options Tax Ruling”) confirming, among other things, that Parent and anyone acting on its behalf shall be exempt from withholding Israeli tax in relation to any payment made to the Exchange Agent, the 102 Trustee or the Company in respect to Company Options, Section 102 Shares or Company RSU Awards (whether or not subject to Section 102 of the Ordinance). If neither the Options Tax Ruling nor the Interim Options Tax Ruling is obtained, holders of Section 102 Awards (and shares issued upon exercise of Section 102 Awards) will be subject to Israeli tax withholding on the gross merger consideration at the fixed rate of 25% or at such holders’ marginal tax rates under Israeli law for ordinary income, and may be also subject to withholding for national insurance contributions and surtax, depending on the specific circumstances of such holders and the terms and the timing of the grants of the Section 102 Awards to such holders.

The Company cannot assure you that such rulings will be granted before the Closing or at all or that, if obtained, such rulings will be granted under the conditions requested by us.

The Israeli tax rulings described above may not be obtained or may contain such provisions, terms and conditions as the ITA may prescribe, which may be different from those detailed above. Certain categories of shareholders, such as holders of 5% or more of the outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Company, are expected to be excluded from the scope of any eventual ruling granted by the ITA, and the final determination of the type of holders of Company Shares who will be included in such categories will be based on the outcome of the discussions with the ITA.

Regulatory Approvals Required for the Merger and Other Regulatory Filings

The Company, Parent and Merger Sub have each agreed to use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws to cause the conditions to the Closing to be satisfied as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event no later than the Outside Date) and to consummate and make effective the Transactions, including the Merger, as soon as practicable after the date of the Merger Agreement. These reasonable best efforts include supplying any information that may be required or reasonably requested by the applicable governmental authorities and agreeing to take all lawful actions necessary to obtain all approvals and clearances of the Merger or the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (provided, that Parent and its subsidiaries will not be obligated to (i) propose, negotiate, agree or commit to, effect or undertake (A) any action that materially limits the freedom of action with respect to the business conduct of, or the ability to operate any of the businesses, product lines or assets of, Parent or any of its subsidiaries, (B) any sale, divestiture, transfer, license, disposition or hold separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) of any assets, properties or businesses of Parent or any of its subsidiaries or (C) any action that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be anticipated to have a material adverse impact on the business or financial condition of Parent or any of its subsidiaries, including, following the Merger, the Surviving Company, or (ii) commence or participate in any lawsuit or other action, whether judicial or administrative, challenging the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Merger or any of the other Transactions).

The following is a summary of the material regulatory approvals required for completion of the Transactions. There can be no assurance, however, if and when any of the approvals required to be obtained for the Transactions will be obtained or as to the conditions or limitations that such approvals may contain or impose.

Subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub each have agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to:

•

cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period (or extension thereof) under the HSR Act;

•

obtain the approval or clearance, waiver by the relevant governmental authorities in Cyprus, Germany, and, if required, the United Kingdom, with such approval, clearance or waiver remaining in effect and any waiting period related thereto having expired; and

•

take all reasonable action and do all things necessary, proper or advisable to provide notice to the Investment Center within 30 days following the Closing Date (however, such notice is not a condition to the consummation of the Transactions).

In considering the various conditions that must be satisfied prior to the completion of the Merger, the Company specifically considered the various regulatory filings and approvals that would be necessary to complete the Merger, including receipt of the regulatory approvals referred to below. The Company and Parent have agreed to work towards receipt of all required regulatory approvals.

HSR Act and U.S. Antitrust Matters

Under the HSR Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, certain transactions exceeding the applicable thresholds require notification to the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) and expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period before the transaction can be consummated, unless an exemption applies. Parent has determined that notification of the Merger to the FTC and DOJ under the HSR Act is required because the Merger exceeds the applicable thresholds and no exemption applies.

At any time before or after consummation of the Merger, even in the event of termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, the FTC or the DOJ could take such action under the antitrust laws as it deems necessary under the applicable statutes, including seeking to enjoin the completion of the Merger, seeking divestiture of substantial assets of the parties, or requiring the parties to license, or hold separate, assets or terminate existing relationships and contractual rights. At any time before or after the completion of the Merger, even in the event of termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, any state could take such action under the antitrust laws as it deems necessary. Such action could include seeking to enjoin the completion of the Merger or seeking divestiture of substantial assets of the parties, or requiring the parties to license, or hold separate, assets or terminate existing relationships and contractual rights. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances.

Israeli Approvals

Israeli Companies Registrar

Each of the Company and Merger Sub is required to file with the Companies Registrar a merger proposal setting forth specified details with respect to the Merger, within three days of calling the meeting to approve the Merger.

Israeli Tax Rulings

Israeli Innovation Authority

Other Regulatory Approvals

One or more governmental agencies may impose a condition, restriction, qualification, requirement or limitation when it grants the necessary approvals and consents to the consummation of the Merger. Third parties may also seek to intervene in the regulatory process or litigate to enjoin or overturn regulatory approvals, any of which actions could significantly impede or even preclude obtaining required regulatory approvals. There is currently no way to predict how long it will take to obtain all of the required regulatory approvals or whether such approvals will ultimately be obtained and there may be a substantial period of time between the approval by shareholders and the completion of the Merger. Although we expect that all required regulatory clearances and approvals will be obtained, we cannot assure you that these regulatory clearances and approvals will be timely obtained, obtained at all or that the granting of these regulatory clearances and approvals will not involve the imposition of additional conditions on the completion of the Merger, including the requirement to divest assets, or require changes to the terms of the Merger Agreement. These conditions or changes could result in the conditions to the Merger not being satisfied.

THE MERGER AGREEMENT

Explanatory Note Regarding the Merger Agreement

The following summary describes the material provisions of the Merger Agreement. The descriptions of the Merger Agreement in this summary and elsewhere in this proxy statement are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A and incorporated into this proxy statement by reference. We encourage you to read the Merger Agreement carefully and in its entirety because this summary may not contain all the information about the Merger Agreement that is important to you. The rights and obligations of the parties are governed by the express terms of the Merger Agreement and not by this summary or any other information contained in this proxy statement. Capitalized terms used in this section, but not defined in this proxy statement have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements described below and included in the Merger Agreement (1) were made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement and as of specific dates; (2) were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement; and (3) may be subject to important qualifications, limitations and supplemental information agreed to by the parties to the Merger Agreement in connection with negotiating the terms of the Merger Agreement. The representations and warranties may also be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to reports and documents filed with the SEC (or furnished by the Company to the SEC) and in some cases were qualified by confidential matters disclosed to Parent and Merger Sub by the Company in connection with the Merger Agreement. In addition, the representations and warranties may have been included in the Merger Agreement for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between the Company, Parent and Merger Sub rather than to establish matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to such parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Shareholders should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective affiliates or businesses. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement. In addition, you should not rely on the covenants in the Merger Agreement as actual limitations on the respective businesses of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub because the parties may take certain actions that are either expressly permitted in the Company Disclosure Letter or as otherwise consented to by the appropriate party, which consent may be given without prior notice to the public. This summary of the Merger Agreement is intended only to provide you with information regarding its terms and conditions, and not to provide any other factual information regarding the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or their respective businesses. Accordingly, the representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements in the Merger Agreement should not be read alone, and you should read the information provided elsewhere in this document and in our filings with the SEC regarding the Company and our business, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20‑F for the year ended December 31, 2023, which is incorporated herein by reference.

At the Effective Time, each Unvested Company RSU Award held by a continuing employee or continuing service provider that is an Israeli RSU Award will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive through the 102 Trustee a cash amount per Company Share subject to such Unvested Company RSU Award equal to the per share merger consideration, subject to the PSU Award Treatment (as defined below), if applicable.

At the Effective Time, each Unvested Company RSU Award that is held by an individual who is not a continuing employee or continuing service provider will be cancelled without consideration therefor.

Grants of Company Equity Awards Pending the Merger

During the period of time between June 4, 2024 (which is the date of the signing of the Merger Agreement) and the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of the Merger Agreement, the Board and/or its compensation committee may grant service-vesting Company RSU Awards covering a total of up to 476,000 shares to newly hired employees and recently promoted employees in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice, in each case, vesting 25% on the first anniversary of the date of grant and quarterly thereafter over 12 quarters (with no vesting acceleration provisions). If the Merger is not consummated on or prior to September 30, 2024, the Board and/or its compensation committee may grant additional service-vesting Company RSU Awards covering a total of up to an additional 476,000 shares to newly hired employees and recently promoted employees in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice, in each case, vesting 25% on the first anniversary of the date of grant and quarterly thereafter over 12 quarters (with no vesting acceleration provisions).

The Company may grant annual Company Equity Awards to non-employee directors at the first quarterly meeting of the board of directors of the Company following the Company’s annual general meeting of shareholders (or, in the case of Michele Bettencourt, on the date of the Company’s annual general meeting of the shareholders) in accordance with, and solely to the extent required by the applicable compensation policies and/or arrangements applicable to the Company’s non-employee directors.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the total number of Company Equity Awards granted by the Company on and after March 31, 2024 (including all Company Equity Awards granted on May 30, 2024 and the Adika RSUs) may not exceed (i) 3,455,000 in the aggregate if closing of the Merger occurs on or prior to September 30, 2024 and (ii) 3,931,000 if closing of the Merger occurs after September 30, 2024.

Exchange and Payment Procedures

Prior to the Effective Time (but in no event later than five business days prior to the Closing Date), Parent will designate (i) a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the Exchange Agent in connection with the payment and delivery of the per share merger consideration and (ii) in connection with the provisions of the Withholding Tax Ruling, an Israeli information and withholding agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Israeli Withholding Agent”) to assist in reviewing any requisite residency certificate and/or other declarations and supporting documents for Israeli tax withholding purposes and/or a Valid Tax Certificate and, in connection therewith, shall enter into agreements with the Exchange Agent and the Israeli Withholding Agent in a form reasonably satisfactory the Company. Prior to or at the Effective Time, Parent or Merger Sub will deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, cash in immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate amount of merger consideration (other than consideration to be paid with respect to Section 102 Shares, which payment will be concurrently transferred directly to the 102 Trustee) (the “Exchange Fund”) for the sole benefit of the Company’s shareholders (other than the holders of Excluded Shares and Section 102 Shares) entitled to merger consideration at the Effective Time. On or prior to the Effective Time, Parent will cause the transfer of the aggregate merger consideration payable with respect to the Section 102 Shares to the 102 Trustee, on behalf of holders of Section 102 Shares, which will be held in trust by the 102 Trustee pursuant to the applicable provisions of Section 102 and the Options Tax Ruling and/or the Interim Options Tax Ruling (as applicable), in each case, if obtained, and will be released by the 102 Trustee, together with any interest earned thereon by virtue of the investment of such amounts by the 102 Trustee, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 102 and the Options Tax Ruling and/or the Interim Options Tax Ruling (as applicable), in each case, if obtained.

As soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within five business days after the Effective Time, Parent or the Surviving Company will direct the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record as of the Effective Time of a share certificate or book-entry share and whose Company Shares (other than Excluded Shares and the Section 102 Shares) were converted into the right to receive the per share merger consideration a form of declaration for tax withholding purposes (or such other forms as are required under applicable tax laws) in which the beneficial owner of a Company Share provides certain information (and, if applicable, supporting documentation) necessary for Parent or the Exchange Agent or the Israeli Withholding Agent, as applicable, to determine whether any amounts need to be withheld from the consideration payable to such beneficial owner under the Merger Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Ordinance (in each case, subject to the terms of the Withholding Tax Ruling, if obtained, the Code or any provision of applicable law). Subject to the Withholding Tax ruling (if obtained), upon surrender of a share certificate (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal and declaration for tax withholding purposes (including all required supporting documentation) and/or a Valid Tax Certificate (or such other forms as are required under applicable tax laws), in each case, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the respective instructions thereto and such other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such share certificate will be entitled to receive the per share merger consideration for each Company Share formerly represented by such share certificate. No holder of record of a book-entry share will be required to deliver a letter of transmittal or surrender such book-entry shares to the Exchange Agent, and in lieu thereof, upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer and documentation as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request), the holder of such book-entry share shall be entitled to receive the per share merger consideration for each Company Share formerly represented by such book-entry share as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within five business days (subject to the delay of 365 days) following the later to occur of (x) the Effective Time and (y) the Exchange Agent’s receipt of a declaration for tax withholding purposes (including all required supporting documentation) and/or a Valid Tax Certificate (or such other forms as required under any applicable tax laws).

Unless otherwise determined in the Withholding Tax Ruling, if any funds deposited with the Exchange Agent are not disbursed or have disbursement pending only subject to the Exchange Agent’s routine administrative procedures within 12 months following the Effective Time, Parent will be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to it any such funds (including any interest received with respect thereto), and thereafter any holders of Company Shares (other than holders of Excluded Shares) who have not complied with the exchange procedures in the Merger Agreement will thereafter look only to the Surviving Company and Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) as general creditors for payment of the per share merger consideration upon due surrender of their share certificate or book-entry share, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Company, Parent, Merger Sub, or the Exchange Agent will be liable to any holder of a share certificate or a book-entry share for any per share merger consideration, dividends, or other amounts properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar applicable law.

The letter of transmittal will include instructions if a shareholder has lost a share certificate or if such certificate has been stolen or destroyed. In the event any share certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed, then, before such shareholder will be entitled to receive the per share merger consideration, such shareholder will have to provide an affidavit (in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent and the Exchange Agent) of the loss, theft or destruction, and if required by Parent in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, deliver a bond in such reasonable and customary amount as Parent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, Merger Sub, or the Exchange Agent with respect to such certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Representations and Warranties

The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub. Some of the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement made by the Company are qualified by “materiality” or “Company Material Adverse Effect”. For purposes of the Merger Agreement, “Company Material Adverse Effect” means any change, effect, development, circumstance, condition, state of facts, event or occurrence (each an “Effect,” and collectively, “Effects”) that, individually or in the aggregate, (x) has had, or could be reasonably expected to have, a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, assets, liabilities or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (y) prevents or materially impairs or delays or would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially impair or delay the ability of the Company to consummate the Transactions or performance by the Company of any of its obligations under the Merger Agreement; provided, however, that adverse Effects arising out of, resulting from or attributable to the following will not constitute or be deemed to contribute, either individually or in the aggregate, to be a Company Material Adverse Effect, and will not otherwise be taken into account in determining whether a Company Material Adverse Effect has occurred or could reasonably be expected to occur:

•

changes or proposed changes in applicable laws, governmental policies (including changes in trade policies or the imposition of or changes in tariffs), GAAP or the interpretation or enforcement thereof;

•

changes in general economic, business, labor or regulatory conditions, or changes in securities, credit or other financial or commodities markets, including interest rates, exchange rates or fuel prices, in the United States or globally, or changes generally affecting the industries (including seasonal fluctuations) in which the Company or its subsidiaries operate in the United States or globally;

any action arising from allegations of breach of fiduciary duty or violation of law relating to the Merger Agreement or the Transactions;

•

any breach, violation or non-performance of any provision of the Merger Agreement by Parent or any of its affiliates.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Effects described in any of the first four items described in the above bullet points disproportionately affects the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in any material respect relative to other companies of comparable size in the same industries in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate, only the incremental disproportionate impact will be taken into account in determining whether there has been a Company Material Adverse Effect.

The representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement will not survive the consummation of the Merger.

Acquisition Proposals

From the date of the Merger Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of the Merger Agreement and subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Company will, and will cause its subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and representatives to:

•

promptly cease and cause to be terminated any existing solicitation, encouragement, discussions or negotiations with any third party that relate to any Acquisition Proposal and disregard all requests made by or on behalf of any third party for information in connection with an Acquisition Proposal;

•

request any such third party that has, prior to the date of the Merger Agreement, executed a confidentiality or similar agreement in connection with a possible Acquisition Proposal which has not terminated or expired pursuant to its terms to promptly return or destroy all non-public information concerning the Company and its subsidiaries furnished to such third party, its affiliates or its representatives on behalf of the Company or its affiliate prior to the date of the Merger Agreement in accordance with the terms of such confidentiality or similar agreement; and

•

prohibit any third party from having access to any physical or electronic data rooms hosted by or on behalf of the Company or its affiliate relating to a possible Acquisition Proposal.

From the date of the Merger Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of the Merger Agreement and subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement, other than with respect to Parent or Merger Sub, the Company will not, and will cause its subsidiaries and each of its and their respective directors, officers, employees and representatives not to:

•

initiate, solicit, knowingly or intentionally facilitate or encourage the making, submission or announcement of any Acquisition Proposal (or any proposal, offer or indication of interest that is reasonably likely to lead to an Acquisition Proposal);

furnish or otherwise provide access to any non-public information regarding the Company or any or its subsidiaries to any person in connection with or in response to an Acquisition Proposal; or

•

engage in discussions or negotiations with any person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.

•

fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in this proxy statement; or

•

Notwithstanding the restrictions described above, if at any time following the date of the Merger Agreement and prior to the approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions by the Company’s shareholders (i) the Company has received an Acquisition Proposal from a third party which is not solicited in, or is otherwise the result of a, breach of the Merger Agreement, (ii) the Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, based on information then available, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal or would reasonably be likely to lead to a Superior Proposal, and (iii) the Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable laws of the State of Israel, then the Company and its representatives may, directly or indirectly:

•

furnish information (including non-public information) with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries and provide access to the books, records, personnel and facilities of the Company and its subsidiaries to the third party making such Acquisition Proposal, its representatives and potential sources of financing if prior to so furnishing such information or providing access, the Company receives (or has previously received) from such third party an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (provided, however, that any non-public information concerning the Company or its subsidiaries provided or made available to any third party will, to the extent not previously provided or made available to Parent or Merger Sub, be provided or made available to Parent or Merger Sub as promptly as practicable after it is provided or made available to such third party (and in any event, within 24 hours thereafter)); and

•

participate in discussions or negotiations with the third party making such Acquisition Proposal, its representatives and potential sources of financing regarding such Acquisition Proposal and any changes thereto, including by making counterproposals thereto.

From the date of the Merger Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of the Merger Agreement, in the event that the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their representatives receives any Acquisition Proposal or any request for non-public information in connection with a possible Acquisition Proposal, within 24 hours after receipt of such Acquisition Proposal or request, the Company will inform Parent in writing of such Acquisition Proposal or request, including the identity of the person making or submitting such Acquisition Proposal or request, the material terms and conditions thereof, and, if available, copies of any written documentation received by the Company setting forth such material terms and conditions. The Company will keep Parent reasonably informed with respect to the status of any such Acquisition Proposal or request and any modification or proposed modification thereto.

For purposes of the Merger Agreement:

“Acquisition Proposal” means any bona fide written offer or proposal from a third party concerning (a) a merger, consolidation or other business combination transaction involving the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries, (b) a sale, lease or other disposition, by merger, consolidation, business combination, share exchange, joint venture or otherwise, of assets of the Company (including equity interests of any of its subsidiaries) and/or any of its subsidiaries representing 20% or more of the consolidated assets, revenues or net income of the Company and its subsidiaries, (c) an issuance (including by way of merger, consolidation, business combination or share exchange) of equity interests representing 20% or more of the voting power of the Company, or (d) any combination of the foregoing (in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, other than the Merger); and

“Superior Proposal” means a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that, if consummated, would result in a person or “group” (as defined in the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) owning, directly or indirectly: (a) 50% or more of the outstanding securities of any class of voting securities (or instruments convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for 50% or more of such class) of the Company or of the surviving entity in a merger or the resulting direct or indirect parent of the Company or such surviving entity or (b) 50% or more of the assets of the Company and of its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, which the Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, is more favorable to the Company’s shareholders from a financial point of view than the terms of the Merger, taking into account such factors as the Board considers in good faith to be appropriate, including the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal and all financial, legal, regulatory and other aspects of such Acquisition Proposal and the third party making the Acquisition Proposal (including the conditionality, timing and likelihood of consummation of such Acquisition Proposal and any changes to the terms of the Merger Agreement proposed by Parent to the Company in response to such Acquisition Proposal).

The Board’s Recommendation; Company Change of Recommendation

As described above, and subject to the provisions described below, the Board has made the recommendation that the holders of Company Shares vote “FOR” the Merger Proposal. The Merger Agreement provides that the Board will not effect a Company Change of Recommendation (as defined above) except as described below.

The Board may at any time prior to receipt of the requisite approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions by the Company’s shareholders, (x) effect a Company Change of Recommendation with respect to such Superior Proposal and/or (y) terminate the Merger Agreement solely to the extent and if and only if:

•

(A) the Company will have received after the date of the Merger Agreement an Acquisition Proposal which is not solicited in, or is otherwise the result of a, breach of the Merger Agreement and (B) such Acquisition Proposal will not have been withdrawn;

•

the Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) will have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, that (A) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and (B) in light of such Superior Proposal, the failure to make a Company Change of Recommendation and/or terminate the Merger Agreement would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable laws of the State of Israel;

•

the Board will have provided to Parent at least four business days’ prior written notice (the “Notice Period”) (A) that it has received a Superior Proposal that was not solicited in, or was otherwise the result of a, breach of the Merger Agreement, (B) that it intends to make a Company Change of Recommendation and/or terminate the Merger Agreement as a result of such Superior Proposal, and (C) specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, including the identity of the person making such Superior Proposal and attaching the most current version of any written offer or proposed contract relating thereto and, if the Company proposes to terminate the Merger Agreement, a copy of the proposed written, definitive acquisition agreement providing for the consummation of the transaction contemplated by such Superior Proposal (such acquisition agreement, a “Specified Definitive Acquisition Agreement”);

•

during the Notice Period, if requested by Parent, the Company will have, and will have caused its legal and financial advisors to have, reasonably engaged in good faith negotiations with Parent and its representatives regarding any amendment or amendments to the Merger Agreement proposed in writing by Parent and intended to cause the relevant Acquisition Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal; and

•

the Board will have (A) considered in good faith any adjustments and/or proposed amendments to the Merger Agreement (including a change to the price terms thereof) and the other agreements contemplated hereby that may be irrevocably offered in writing by Parent (the “Proposed Changed Terms”) no later than 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the last day of the Notice Period and (B) determined in good faith that the Superior Proposal would continue to constitute a Superior Proposal if such Proposed Changed Terms were to be given effect and that the failure to make a Company Change of Recommendation or terminate the Merger Agreement would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board under applicable laws of the State of Israel in light of such Superior Proposal.

In the event of any revisions to a Superior Proposal offered in writing by the third party making such Superior Proposal, the Company will be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to again comply with the requirements set forth above with respect to such new written notice; provided, that the Notice Period shall instead end at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the second business day immediately following Parent’s receipt of such new written notice.

The Board may, at any time prior to the receipt of the requisite approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions by the Company’s shareholders, effect a Company Change of Recommendation in response to a Company Intervening Event (as defined below) solely to the extent and if and only if:

•

the Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) will have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, that the failure to make a Company Change of Recommendation would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board under applicable laws of the State of Israel;

•

the Company will have provided Parent with a written notice (a “Company Intervening Event Notice”) of such determination, stating that such notice constitutes a Company Intervening Event Notice, providing a description of the material facts and circumstances giving rise to a Company Intervening Event, and that the Board intends to effect a Company Change of Recommendation; and

•

during the period commencing on the date of Parent’s receipt of the Company Intervening Event Notice and ending at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the date that is the fifth business day thereafter, if requested by Parent, the Company will have, and will have caused its legal and financial advisors to have, reasonably engaged in good faith negotiations with Parent and its representatives regarding any amendment or amendments to the Merger Agreement and will have considered in good faith any proposals made by Parent, and after taking account of Parent’s proposals, if any, the Board again makes the determination set forth in first bullet point above.

For purposes of the Merger Agreement:

“Company Intervening Event” means a material positive Effect on the business, assets, properties, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole: (a) that was not known or reasonably foreseeable to the Board and the material consequences of which were not reasonably foreseeable, as of the date of the Merger Agreement but become known to the Board prior to the approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions by the Company’s shareholders, and (b) that does not relate to any Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that any Effect related to any of the following shall not constitute a Company Intervening Event: (i) the Effects arising from the announcement (whether or not authorized by the parties, including any pre-signing reports in the press or otherwise, reporting on a potential transaction among the parties or otherwise relating to the acquisition of the Company) or pendency of the Merger Agreement or the Transactions; and (ii) any change in the trading price or trading volume of Company Shares on Nasdaq or any change in the Company’s credit rating.

Employee Benefits

Following the Effective Time and until the first anniversary of the closing of the Merger (or, if earlier, until the date of termination of employment of the relevant continuing employee), Parent has agreed to, among other things, provide each continuing employee with (a) an annual base salary or hourly wage rate (as applicable) that is not less than the annual base salary or hourly wage rate provided to such continuing employee immediately prior to the Effective Time and (b) target bonus opportunities and other employee benefits (excluding equity and equity-based compensation) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the target bonus opportunities and employee benefits (excluding equity and equity-based compensation) provided to such continuing employee immediately prior to the Effective Time.

With respect to employee benefit plans (excluding defined benefit pension benefit plans and retiree medical) maintained by Parent or any of its subsidiaries, including the Surviving Company (including any vacation, paid time-off and severance plans) (collectively, the “New Plans”), Parent will, or will cause its subsidiaries (including the Surviving Company) to, use commercially reasonable efforts to, for all purposes, including determining eligibility to participate, level of benefits, vesting, benefit accruals and early retirement subsidies, treat each continuing employee’s service with the Company or any subsidiary thereof (or any predecessor entities), as reflected in the Company’s records and to the same extent such service was recognized by the Company, as service with Parent or any Subsidiary thereof, including the Surviving Company; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits.

Parent will, or will cause one of its subsidiaries (including the Surviving Company) to, use commercially reasonable efforts to waive, or cause to be waived, any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, evidence of insurability, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under any welfare benefit plan maintained by Parent or any of its subsidiaries (including the Surviving Company) in which continuing employee (and their eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate as of the Effective Time, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods would not have been satisfied or waived under the comparable Company benefit plan immediately prior to the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”). Parent also will, or will cause its subsidiaries (including the Surviving Company) to, use reasonable best efforts to recognize, or cause to be recognized, the dollar amount of all co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses incurred by each participant in an applicable Old Plan (including his or her eligible dependents) during the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and co- payment limitations under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which such continuing employee (and his or her eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time.

Any vacation or paid time off that is accrued but unused by a continuing employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be credited to such continuing employee following the Effective Time; provided, however, that, such accrued but unused vacation or paid time off shall be subject to accrual limits or other forfeiture and may only be used by the applicable continuing employee, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the vacation and paid time off policies of Parent and its subsidiaries as may be in effect from time to time following the Effective Time.

With respect to any continuing employee whose employment is terminated by Parent or any of its subsidiaries or who resigns from employment with Parent or any of its subsidiaries during the 12-month period commencing on the Closing Date, Parent will provide, or will cause its applicable subsidiary to provide, severance payments and benefits to such continuing employee, which shall be equal to the severance payments and benefits payable to the continuing employee upon such termination or resignation, if any, under the Company benefit plan providing for severance benefits to such continuing employee as in effect as of the date of the Merger Agreement; provided, however, that Parent’s obligation to provide such continuing employee with such severance payments and benefits shall be subject to (x) such continuing employee’s timely execution, delivery and non-revocation of a general release in favor of Parent and its subsidiaries and (y) to the extent applicable, such continuing employee’s Waiver Agreement.

Efforts to Close the Merger

Each party to the Merger Agreement has agreed in the Merger Agreement to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws to cause the conditions to Closing to be satisfied as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event no later than the Outside Date (as the same may be extended)) and to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other Transactions as soon as practicable after the date of the Merger Agreement, including preparing and filing, in consultation with the other party and as promptly as reasonably practicable and advisable after the date of the Merger Agreement, all documentation to effect all necessary (or advisable, in Parent’s sole discretion) applications, notices, petitions, filings, registrations, notifications, statements, submissions of information and other documents (including any required (or recommended, at Parent’s sole discretion) filings under applicable laws); (ii) obtain as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event no later than the Outside Date (as the same may be extended)) all waiting period expirations or terminations, approvals, consents, clearances, registrations, permits and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any governmental authority in order to consummate the Merger or any of the other Transactions; and (iii) obtain all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties in connection with the Merger and the other Transactions.

In no event will Parent or any of its subsidiaries or other affiliates be obligated to (i) propose, negotiate, agree or commit to, effect or undertake (A) any action that materially limits the freedom of action with respect to the business conduct of, or the ability to operate any of the businesses, product lines or assets of, Parent or any of its subsidiaries, (B) any sale, divestiture, transfer, license, disposition or hold separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) of any assets, properties or businesses of Parent or any of its subsidiaries, or (C) any action that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be anticipated to have a material adverse impact on the business or financial condition of Parent or any of its subsidiaries, including, following the Merger, the Surviving Company, or (ii) commence or participate in any lawsuit or other action, whether judicial or administrative, challenging the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Merger or any of the other Transactions.

Indemnification and Insurance

For a period of seven years from the Effective Time, Parent will cause the Surviving Company to fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company pursuant to any indemnification and exculpation, including advancements of expenses, provisions under the Articles and policies and any indemnification agreement between the Company, on the one hand, and any of its current or former directors and officers (collectively, the “Covered Persons”), on the other hand, in each case, (x) as in effect on the date of the Merger Agreement and (y) to the extent set forth in the Company Disclosure Letter, with respect to acts or omissions by them in their capacities as such at any time at or prior to the Effective Time to the extent permitted by law (subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 259(b), 263 and 264 of the ICL).

Prior to the Closing, the Company will obtain a prepaid “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy covering acts or omissions occurring prior to the Closing Date with respect to those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s or of any of its subsidiaries’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy on terms with respect to such coverage and amount no less favorable in the aggregate to the Company’s or of any of its subsidiaries’ directors and officers currently covered by such insurance than those of such policy in effect on the date the Merger Agreement was signed; provided, however, that such “tail” policy will (x) provide such coverage for seven years from the Closing Date, (y) be obtained, in consultation with Parent, from the Company’s or Parent’s current insurance company or another reputable insurance company reasonably satisfactory to Parent and (z) not have an annual premium in excess of 200% of the last annual premium paid for such a policy by the Company prior to the Closing.

Certain Other Covenants

Special and Annual General Meeting of Shareholders

In the Merger Agreement, the Company agreed to prepare and furnish to the SEC on Form 6-K the proxy statement as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of the Merger Agreement (and in any event no later than 35 calendar days following the date of the Merger Agreement). Unless the Board has effected a Company Change of Recommendation in compliance with the Merger Agreement, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, necessary, proper or advisable on its part to cause the approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions by the Company’s shareholders to be received at the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

The Company agreed, in accordance with applicable law and the Company’s organizational documents, and in reasonable consultation with Parent, to establish a record date for, duly call, publish the notice of and schedule and convene the meeting as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of the Merger Agreement. The Company will comply with the notice requirements applicable to the Company in respect of the meeting pursuant to the ICL and the Company’s organizational documents. The Company will reasonably consult with Parent regarding the date of the meeting, which, subject to the terms of the following sentence relating to postponement and adjournment thereof, will be held no later than 40 days following the date the proxy statement is furnished to the SEC. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Company will not adjourn, postpone or delay the meeting without the prior written consent of Parent, except that it may do so, after reasonable consultation with Parent, if and only if: (i) there are holders of an insufficient number of Company Shares present or represented by a proxy at the meeting to constitute a quorum; (ii) such adjournment, postponement, delay or cancellation is required by applicable law or a request from the SEC or Nasdaq; or (iii) in the good faith judgment of the Board (after consultation with its outside legal advisors), the failure to adjourn, postpone or delay the meeting would be reasonably likely to not allow sufficient time under applicable law for the distribution or dissemination of any required or appropriate supplement or amendment to the proxy statement; provided, however, that, without the prior written consent of Parent, (A) no single such adjournment, postponement or delay will be for more than five business days and (B) in no event may the meeting be postponed to later than the date that is ten business days after the date for which the meeting was originally scheduled. In the event that the date of the meeting as originally called is for any reason adjourned, postponed or otherwise delayed, the Company agreed that, unless Parent has otherwise approved in writing, it will use reasonable best efforts to implement such adjournment, postponement or other delay in such a way that the Company does not establish a new record date for the meeting, as so adjourned, postponed or delayed, except as required by applicable law.

The Company and Merger Sub have agreed that subject to the ICL, they will, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of the Merger Agreement, cause a Merger Proposal (in the Hebrew language) to be prepared and executed in accordance with Section 316 of the ICL and delivered to the Companies Registrar within three days from the calling of the meeting. The Company and Merger Sub have further agreed to cause a copy of the Merger Proposal to be delivered to their secured creditors, if any, no later than three days after the date on which the Merger Proposal is delivered to the Companies Registrar and to timely inform the Companies Registrar, in accordance with Section 317(b) of the ICL, that such notice were given to their respective creditors, if any, under Section 318 of the ICL.

Shareholder Litigation

The Company agreed (i) to give Parent the reasonable opportunity to participate in the Company’s defense or settlement of any shareholder litigation against the Company, any of its subsidiaries and/or their respective directors or officers relating to the Merger Agreement and/or the Transactions, including the Merger; (ii) to the extent practicable and legally permissible, to promptly notify Parent of any such litigation and keep Parent reasonably and promptly informed with respect to the status thereof; and (iii) prior to the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of the Merger Agreement, not settle or offer to settle any litigation commenced after the date of the Merger Agreement against the Company or its directors, executive officers or similar persons by any shareholder of the Company relating to the Merger Agreement and/or the Transactions without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed to the extent such settlement or offer to settle would not have a material adverse impact on Parent, the Surviving Company or any of their respective affiliates following the Effective Time).

Obligations to Seek Tax Rulings

The Company agreed to instruct its Israeli counsel, advisors, and/or accountants, as soon as practicable after the date of the Merger Agreement (but, in any event, no later than 15 business days following the date of the Merger Agreement), to prepare and file with the ITA an application for the Options Ruling. The Company agreed to include in the request for the Options Ruling a request to confirm that (i) the cancellation and exchange of the Section 102 Awards and conversion of the Section 102 Shares shall not be regarded as a violation of the “requisite holding period” (as such term is defined in Section 102 of the Ordinance) so long as the payable consideration (as described in the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—Treatment of Company Equity Awards”) and the per share merger consideration are deposited with the 102 Trustee until the end of the respective holding period and (ii) the deposit of the payable consideration (as described in the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—Treatment of Company Equity Awards”) and the per share merger consideration with the Exchange Agent and the 102 Trustee shall not be subject to any withholding obligation, and such ruling may provide other withholding instructions to the Exchange Agent and Israeli Withholding Agent with respect thereto (which ruling may be subject to customary conditions regularly associated with such a ruling). If the Options Ruling is not granted prior to the Closing or in accordance with the instructions of the ITA, the Company agreed to seek to obtain prior to the Closing an interim tax ruling confirming, among other things, that Parent and any Person acting on its behalf (including the Exchange Agent) shall be exempt from Israeli withholding tax in relation to any payments made with respect to any Company Options, Section 102 Shares or Company RSU Awards (whether or not subject to Section 102 of the Ordinance) to the Exchange Agent, the 102 Trustee or the Company in connection with the Merger. The Company agreed to use reasonable best efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws to obtain the Options Ruling prior to the Closing.

In addition, the Company agreed to instruct its Israeli counsel, advisors and accountants, as soon as practicable after the date of the Merger Agreement to prepare and file with the ITA an application for the Withholding Tax Ruling (which will be approved by Parent or its Israeli counsel prior to its submission and which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Termination of the Merger Agreement

The Merger Agreement may be terminated and the Merger and the other Transactions may be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time, notwithstanding receipt of the requisite approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions by the Company’s shareholders (except as otherwise provided below), in the following ways:

•

by mutual written consent of Parent and the Company;

•

by either the Company or Parent, if a governmental authority of competent jurisdiction has issued a final and non‑appealable adverse law or order that remains in effect and that permanently restrains, permanently enjoins or otherwise permanently prohibits the consummation of the Merger; provided, however, that the right to terminate pursuant to this provision of the Merger Agreement will not be available to any party where such party’s failure to fulfill its obligation under the Merger Agreement has been the principal cause of, or resulted in, such adverse law or order;

•

by Parent, if:

•

there has been a breach by the Company of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in the Merger Agreement, in each case, such that any of the conditions relating to the obligations of each party and of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger is not reasonably capable of being satisfied while such breach is continuing;

•

Parent has delivered to the Company written notice of such breach; and

•

such breach is not capable of cure in a manner sufficient to allow satisfaction of the conditions relating to the obligations of each party and of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger prior to March 4, 2025 (as may be extended pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that Parent will not be permitted to terminate pursuant to this provision of the Merger Agreement if there has been any material breach by Parent or Merger Sub of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in the Merger Agreement such that any condition contained in the obligations of each party and the Company to consummate the Merger is not reasonably capable of being satisfied while such breach is continuing;

•

by the Company, if:

•

there has been a breach by Parent or Merger Sub of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in the Merger Agreement such that any condition relating to the obligations of each party and the Company to consummate the Merger is not reasonably capable of being satisfied while such breach is continuing;

•

the Company has delivered to Parent written notice of such breach; and

•

such breach is not capable of cure in a manner sufficient to allow satisfaction of the conditions relating to obligations of each party and of the Company to consummate the Merger prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that the Company will not be permitted to terminate pursuant to this provision of the Merger Agreement if there has been any material breach by the Company of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in the Merger Agreement such that any condition contained in the obligations of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the Merger is not reasonably capable of being satisfied while such breach is continuing;

•

by either Parent or the Company, if the Effective Time has not occurred on or prior to the Outside Date, provided, however, that the right to terminate the Merger Agreement pursuant to this provision will not be available to any party whose breach of such party’s representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in the Merger Agreement has caused, or resulted in, the Effective Time not occurring on or prior to the Outside Date; provided, further, that, if on the Outside Date all of the conditions to Closing, other than certain exceptions contained in the Merger Agreement, have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, which conditions shall be capable of being satisfied at such time), then the Outside Date may, at Parent’s sole discretion, be extended for an additional period of 90 days following the Outside Date;

•

by Parent, if, prior to receipt of the requisite approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions by the Company’s shareholders, (i) the Board has effected a Company Change of Recommendation, whether or not permitted to do so under the Merger Agreement or (ii) the Company materially breaches any of its obligations described above under the captions “The Merger Agreement—Acquisition Proposals” and “The Merger Agreement—The Board’s Recommendation; Company Change of Recommendation”;

•

by either Parent or the Company, if the requisite Company’s shareholders fail to approve the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions at the meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof, in each case at which a vote on such approval was taken; provided, however, that a party will not be permitted to terminate pursuant to this provision of the Merger Agreement if the failure of such party seeking to terminate the Merger Agreement to perform any covenant in the Merger Agreement required to be performed by such party at or prior to the Effective Time is the principal cause of the failure to obtain the requisite approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions by the Company’s shareholders; or

•

by the Company, if, prior to receipt of the requisite approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions by the Company’s shareholders, the Board determines to terminate the Merger Agreement in order to accept a Superior Proposal in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Merger Agreement, provided, however, that the Company, prior to or concurrently with such termination, pays the Company Termination Fee (as defined below) to or for the account of Parent pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

In the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to the termination rights above, the Merger Agreement will become null and void and there will be no liability on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, except that certain sections of the Merger Agreement will survive the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with their respective terms, including, among others, terms relating to reimbursement of expenses. In addition, no termination of the Merger Agreement will affect the rights or obligations of any party pursuant to the confidentiality agreement between Parent and the Company, which rights, obligations and agreements will survive the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with their respective terms.

Company Termination Fee

Parent will be entitled to receive a termination fee of approximately $44.2 million (the “Company Termination Fee”) from the Company if the Merger Agreement is terminated in the following circumstances that are specified in the Merger Agreement:

•

the Merger Agreement is terminated by Parent because, prior to the receipt of the requisite approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions by the Company’s shareholders, the Board has effected a Company Change of Recommendation or the Company materially breached its obligations pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Merger Agreement, as described above under the captions “The Merger Agreement—Acquisition Proposals” and “The Merger Agreement—The Board’s Recommendation; Company Change of Recommendation”;

•

the Merger Agreement is terminated by the Company in order to accept a Superior Proposal in accordance with the requirements described above under the caption “The Merger Agreement—The Board’s Recommendation; Company Change of Recommendation”; or

•

the Merger Agreement is terminated because (x) (i) the Effective Time has not occurred on or prior to the Outside Date or (ii) the requisite Company’s shareholders have failed to approve the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions at the meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof, in each case at which a vote on such approval was taken (in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), as described above under the caption “The Merger Agreement—Termination of the Merger Agreement”) and, at the time of termination pursuant to clause (i), the Company has not held the meeting, (y) after the date of the Merger Agreement and prior to the date of the meeting, an Acquisition Proposal has been publicly announced (which was not subsequently withdrawn) and (z) within 12 months after such termination, (A) the Company or an affiliate thereof executes a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (which is consummated) or (B) the transaction contemplated by an Acquisition Proposal is consummated.

Solely for purposes of the immediately preceding bullet point, the term “Acquisition Proposal” has the following meaning: any bona fide written offer or proposal from a third party concerning (a) a merger, consolidation or other business combination transaction involving the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries, (b) a sale, lease or other disposition, by merger, consolidation, business combination, share exchange, joint venture or otherwise, of assets of the Company (including equity interests of any of its subsidiaries) and/or any of its subsidiaries representing 50% or more of the consolidated assets, revenues or net income of the Company and its subsidiaries, (c) an issuance (including by way of merger, consolidation, business combination or share exchange) of equity interests representing 50% or more of the voting power of the Company, or (d) any combination of the foregoing (in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, other than the Merger).

Other Material Provisions of the Merger Agreement

Amendment

The Merger Agreement may be amended in a writing signed by the Company and Parent at any time before or after receipt of the requisite approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions by the Company’s shareholders. However, after receipt of the requisite approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions by the Company’s shareholders, no amendment will be made that by law or rules of any relevant stock exchange requires further approval by the Company’s shareholders without obtaining such approval.

Expenses

Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Merger Agreement, all Expenses (as defined below) incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement and the Transactions will be paid by the party incurring such Expenses.

“Expenses” means all expenses (including all fees and expenses of counsel, accountants, investment bankers, financing sources, experts and consultants to a party and its affiliates) incurred by a party or on its behalf in connection with or related to the authorization, preparation, negotiation, execution and the performance of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the preparation, printing, filing and mailing of this proxy statement and all other matters related to the Transactions.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

The Merger Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Israel, except that the provisions related to the definition or occurrence of a Company Material Adverse Effect will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction located in Tel Aviv‑Jaffa, Israel.

Specific Performance

In the event of a breach or threatened breach of any covenant or obligation in the Merger Agreement the non‑breaching party will be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement.

MARKET PRICES AND DIVIDEND DATA

The Company Shares are listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “WKME.” The closing sale price of the Company Shares on Nasdaq on June 4, 2024, the last trading day prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, was $9.64 per share, compared to which the per share merger consideration represents a premium of approximately 45%. On June 28, 2024, the latest practicable trading day before the date of this proxy statement, the closing price of the Company Shares on Nasdaq was $13.97.

As of June 27, 2024, there were 93,902,391 Company Shares outstanding (including 31,250 of such Company Shares that represent the vested portion of the 500,000 Company RSU Awards granted to Mr. Adika on May 30, 2024 subject to shareholder approval of the CEO Compensation Proposal as set forth below), held by approximately 111 holders of record (including Cede & Co., the nominee of The Depository Trust Company). The number of holders of record does not include the number of persons whose Company Shares are in nominee or in “street name” accounts through brokers.

The Company has not declared or paid any cash dividends on Company Shares in the past, and the Company does not anticipate declaring or paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The ICL imposes restrictions on our ability to declare and pay dividends.

Following the Merger, there will be no further market for the Company Shares and the Company Shares will be delisted from Nasdaq and deregistered under the Exchange Act. As a result, following the Merger, the Company will no longer file periodic reports with the SEC.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The beneficial ownership of our Company Shares is determined in accordance with the SEC rules and generally includes any Company Shares over which a person exercises sole or shared voting or investment power. For purposes of the table below, we deem shares subject to options or warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of June 15, 2024, to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the options or warrants for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but we do not treat them as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The percentage of shares beneficially owned is based on 93,902,391 Company Shares outstanding as of June 15, 2024 (including 31,250 of such Company Shares that represent the vested portion of the 500,000 Company RSU Awards granted to Mr. Adika on May 30, 2024 subject to shareholder approval of the CEO Compensation Proposal as set forth below in footnote 7; however, if the Company’s shareholders do not approve the CEO Compensation Proposal, then all 500,000 of such Company RSU Awards will be null and void).

All of our shareholders, including the shareholders listed below, have the same voting rights attached to their Company Shares. Unless otherwise noted below, each shareholder’s address is 1 Walter Moses St., Tel Aviv, 6789903, Israel.

WHEREAS, in connection with the Merger, each ordinary share, no par value, of the Company (each, a “Company Share”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the ICL;

WHEREAS, prior to the execution of this Agreement, the board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) has unanimously adopted resolutions (a) determining that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger (collectively, the “Transactions”), are fair to, advisable, and in the best interests of the Company and Company Shareholders and that, considering the financial position of the merging companies, no reasonable concern exists that the Surviving Company (as defined below) will be unable to fulfill the obligations of the Company to its creditors, (b) approving the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement, and the consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, (c) directing that the performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions be submitted to the Company Shareholders for their adoption and approval, and (d) resolving to recommend that the Company Shareholders adopt and approve the performance of this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions (such recommendation to the Company Shareholders, the “Company Board Recommendation”);

WHEREAS, as a condition to the willingness of Parent to enter into this Agreement and as a material inducement in consideration therefor, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (a) certain Company Shareholders are entering into voting and support agreements with Parent (the “Support Agreements”), pursuant to which, among other things, each such Company Shareholder is agreeing, subject to the terms thereof, to vote all Company Shares owned by such Company Shareholder in favor of the approval and adoption of this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions and (b) each of the Waiver Employees is entering into a waiver agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, each such Waiver Employee is agreeing, subject to the terms thereof, to waive and modify certain provisions governing such Waiver Employee’s compensatory arrangements (collectively, the “Waiver Agreements”); and

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the covenants, premises, representations, warranties, and agreements contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Parties agree as follows:

A - 2

ARTICLE I.
THE MERGER

Section 1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the ICL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub (as the target company (Chevrat Ha’Ya’ad) in the Merger) will be merged with and into the Company (as the absorbing company (HaChevra Ha’Koletet) in the Merger), whereupon the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease, with the Company surviving the Merger (the Company, as the surviving entity in the Merger, sometimes being referred to herein as the “Surviving Company”), such that following the Merger, the Surviving Company will (a) be a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, (b) continue to be governed by the Laws of the State of Israel, and (c) succeed to and assume all of the rights, properties and obligations of Merger Sub and the Company in accordance with the ICL.

Section 1.2 Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place remotely by electronic exchange of documents and signature pages thereto as soon as practicable and by no later than the fourth Business Day after the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law or under this Agreement) waiver of the last to be satisfied or waived of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than any such conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law or under this Agreement) waiver of such conditions at the Closing), unless another date or place is mutually agreed to in writing by the Company and Parent. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to as the “Closing Date.”

Section 1.3 Effective Time. As soon as practicable after the determination of the date on which the Closing is to take place in accordance with Section 1.2, or on such other date as Parent and the Company may mutually agree, each of the Company and Parent shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, in coordination with each other, deliver to the Registrar of Companies of the Israeli Corporations Authority (the “Companies Registrar”) a notice (the “Merger Notice”) of the contemplated Merger and the proposed date on which the Companies Registrar is requested to issue a certificate evidencing the Merger in accordance with Section 323(5) of the ICL (the “Certificate of Merger”) after notice that the Closing has occurred is served to the Companies Registrar, which the Parties shall deliver on the Closing Date. The Merger will become effective upon the issuance by the Companies Registrar of the Certificate of Merger in accordance with Section 323(5) of the ICL (the time at which the Merger becomes effective is referred to herein as the “Effective Time”). The Parties will use reasonable best efforts to coordinate with the Companies Registrar the issuance of the Certificate of Merger as of the Closing Date or on another date reasonably agreed between the Parties.

Section 1.4 Effect of the Merger. The Merger will have the effects set forth in the ICL and this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, by virtue of, and simultaneously with, the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any Company Shareholder, (a) Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease and the Company will continue as the Surviving Company, (b) all the properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub will vest in the Surviving Company, (c) all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub will become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Company by way of universal succession, and (d) all the rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of the Company (as the Surviving Company) will continue unaffected by the Merger in accordance with the ICL.

A - 3

Section 1.5 Articles of Association. At the Effective Time, the articles of association of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be the articles of association of the Surviving Company, until such articles of association are thereafter duly changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

Section 1.6 Officers and Directors of the Surviving Company. At the Effective Time, the directors of Merger Sub immediately before the Effective Time will become the directors of the Surviving Company, until their respective successors have been duly elected, designated or qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the articles of association of the Surviving Company. At the Effective Time, the individuals designated by Parent prior to the Closing Date will become the officers of the Surviving Company, until their respective successors have been duly appointed, designated or qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the articles of association of the Surviving Company.

ARTICLE II.
TREATMENT OF SECURITIES

Section 2.1 Treatment of Securities.

(a) Treatment of Company Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or holders of any securities of the Company or of Merger Sub, subject to Section 2.1(b) and except as provided in Section 2.1(a)(ii):

(i) Conversion of Company Shares. Each Company Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Company Shares represented by Excluded Shares) will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, without interest, an amount in cash equal to $14.00 (subject to adjustment under Section 2.1(b)) (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”) payable as provided in Section 2.2. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of all Company Shares (other than Company Shares represented by Excluded Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including all uncertificated Company Shares represented by book-entry form (“Book-Entry Shares”) and each certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented any such Company Shares (each, a “Certificate”)) will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration to such Company Shares, without interest, as provided in Section 2.2, and the right to receive any dividends or other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time which may have been declared by the Company and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time.

(ii) Treatment of Excluded Shares. At the Effective Time, all Excluded Shares will be automatically cancelled and will cease to exist and no Per Share Merger Consideration or any other consideration will be due or delivered in exchange therefor or in respect thereof.

(iii) Treatment of Merger Sub Share Capital. At the Effective Time, each ordinary share, par value ten Israeli Agurot (NIS 0.10) per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically and without further action converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable ordinary share, par value ten Israeli Agurot (NIS 0.10) per share, of the Surviving Company and such ordinary shares will constitute the only outstanding share capital of the Surviving Company. Each certificate evidencing ownership of such ordinary shares of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time will, as of the Effective Time, evidence ownership of such shares of the Surviving Company.

A - 4

(b) Adjustment. In the event that, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding Company Shares will occur as a result of any share split, reverse share split, share dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for Company Shares), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other similar event, the Per Share Merger Consideration will be equitably adjusted to reflect such event and to provide to Company Shareholders the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.1(b) will be deemed to permit or authorize the Company to take any such action or effect any such change that it is not otherwise authorized or permitted to take place pursuant to Section 5.1.

Section 2.2 Payment for Company Shares; Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Payments with respect to Company Shares (other than Section 102 Shares). Prior to the Effective Time (but in no event later than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date), Parent will designate (i) a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the exchange agent in connection with the payment and delivery of the Per Share Merger Consideration (the “Exchange Agent”) and (ii) in connection with the provisions of the Withholding Tax Ruling (as defined herein), an Israeli information and withholding agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Israeli Withholding Agent”) to assist in reviewing any requisite residency certificate and/or other declarations and supporting documents for Israeli Tax withholding purposes and/or a Valid Tax Certificate, as applicable, and, in connection therewith, shall enter into agreements with the Exchange Agent and the Israeli Withholding Agent in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company. The Exchange Agent will also act as the agent for the Company Shareholders for the purpose of receiving and holding their Certificates and Book-Entry Shares and will obtain no rights or interests in the Company Shares represented thereby. Prior to or at the Effective Time, Parent or Merger Sub will deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, cash in immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate amount of Per Share Merger Consideration (other than consideration to be paid with respect to Section 102 Shares, which payment will be concurrently transferred directly to the 102 Trustee) (the “Exchange Fund”) for the sole benefit of the Company Shareholders (other than the holders of Excluded Shares and Section 102 Shares) entitled to Per Share Merger Consideration at the Effective Time in accordance with Section 2.1(a). In the event that the Exchange Fund is insufficient to pay the aggregate amount of all Per Share Merger Consideration due to the Company Shareholders (other than the holders of Excluded Shares and Section 102 Shares), Parent or Merger Sub will promptly deposit additional funds with the Exchange Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make such payment. Parent will direct the Exchange Agent to make, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, delivery of the Per Share Merger Consideration out of the Exchange Fund in accordance with this Agreement. The Exchange Fund will not be used for any purpose that is not expressly provided for in this Agreement. The Exchange Fund will be invested by the Exchange Agent as reasonably directed by Parent; provided, however, that no such investment or loss thereon shall relieve Parent or the Exchange Agent from making the payments required by this Agreement, including the obligation to deposit additional funds with the Exchange Agent to cover any deficiency in the Exchange Fund, nor shall it affect the amounts payable to holders of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share pursuant to this Article II. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments will be paid to Parent or the Surviving Company (at the election of Parent) which will bear, in either case, any taxes applicable in connection with any such interest or other income, on the earlier of (A) one year after the Effective Time or (B) the full payment of the Exchange Fund. To the extent that Parent or the Surviving Company is required to bear any Taxes applicable to such investments, Parent or the Surviving Company (as applicable) will be entitled to receive a portion of such interest or other income as determined by Parent or the Surviving Company (as applicable) in order to satisfy any Taxes which may be imposed on Parent or the Surviving Company (determined as if such interest or other income constitutes the only taxable income derived during the period); provided, however, that no such withdrawal from the Exchange Fund to satisfy any Taxes applicable to investments of the Exchange Fund shall relieve Parent or the Exchange Agent from making the payments required by this Agreement, including the obligation to deposit additional funds with the Exchange Agent to cover any deficiency in the Exchange Fund, nor shall it affect the amounts payable to holders of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share pursuant to this Article II.

A - 5

(b) Payments with respect to Section 102 Shares. On or prior to the Effective Time, Parent will cause the transfer of the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration payable with respect to the Section 102 Shares to the 102 Trustee, on behalf of holders of Section 102 Shares, in accordance with Section 102 and the Options Tax Ruling (as defined herein) and/or the Interim Options Tax Ruling (as applicable) (as defined herein), in each case, if obtained (the “Section 102 Share Consideration”). The Section 102 Share Consideration will be held in trust by the 102 Trustee pursuant to the applicable provisions of Section 102 and the Options Tax Ruling and/or the Interim Options Tax Ruling (as applicable), in each case, if obtained, and will be released by the 102 Trustee, together with any interest earned thereon by virtue of the investment of such amounts by the 102 Trustee, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 102 and the Options Tax Ruling and/or the Interim Options Tax Ruling (as applicable), in each case, if obtained.

A - 6

(c) Procedures for Surrender. As soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within five Business Days after the Effective Time, Parent or the Surviving Company will direct the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record as of the Effective Time of a Certificate and whose Company Shares (other than Excluded Shares and the Section 102 Shares) were converted pursuant to Section 2.1 into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration (i) a letter of transmittal, which will specify that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificate will pass, only upon delivery of the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) to the Exchange Agent and will be in such form as Parent and the Exchange Agent may reasonably specify (and will not contain any conditions to the payment of any portion of the Per Share Merger Consideration not agreed to by the Company prior to the Closing or contain any provisions that are not contemplated by this Agreement, other than customary provisions) and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) in exchange for payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1. As soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within five Business Days after the Effective Time, Parent or the Surviving Company will direct the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record as of the Effective Time of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share and whose Company Shares (other than Excluded Shares and the Section 102 Shares) were converted pursuant to Section 2.1 into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration a form of declaration for Tax withholding purposes (or such other forms as are required under any applicable Tax Law) in which the beneficial owner of a Company Share provides certain information (and, if applicable, supporting documentation) necessary for Parent or the Exchange Agent or the Israeli Withholding Agent, as applicable, to determine whether any amounts need to be withheld from the consideration payable to such beneficial owner hereunder pursuant to the terms of the Ordinance (in each case, subject to the terms of the Withholding Tax Ruling, if obtained, the Code, or any provision of applicable Law). Subject to the Withholding Tax Ruling, upon surrender of a Certificate (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal and declaration for Tax withholding purposes (including all required supporting documentation) and/or a Valid Tax Certificate (or such other forms as are required under any applicable Tax Law), in each case, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the respective instructions thereto and such other documents as may reasonably be required pursuant to such instructions, Parent will direct the Exchange Agent to pay to the holder of such Certificate the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article II for each Company Share formerly represented by such Certificate, as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within three Business Days (subject to the delay of up to 365 days contemplated by Section 2.4) following the later to occur of (x) the Effective Time and (y) the Exchange Agent’s receipt of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) and a declaration for Tax withholding purposes (including all required supporting documentation) and/or a Valid Tax Certificate (or such other forms as are required under any applicable Tax Law), and the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) so surrendered will be forthwith cancelled. No holder of record of a Book-Entry Share will be required to deliver a letter of transmittal or surrender such Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent, and in lieu thereof, upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer and documentation as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request), the holder of such Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article II for each Company Share formerly represented by such Book-Entry Share, as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within five Business Days (subject to the delay of up to 365 days contemplated by Section 2.4) following the later to occur of (x) the Effective Time and (y) the Exchange Agent’s receipt of a declaration for Tax withholding purposes (including all required supporting documentation) and/or a Valid Tax Certificate (or such other forms as are required under any applicable Tax Law). The Exchange Agent will accept a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. If payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it will be a condition precedent of payment that (A) the Certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed or will be otherwise in proper form for transfer and (B) the Person requesting such payment will have paid any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or will have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Company that such Tax either has been paid or is not required to be paid. Any other transfer Taxes shall be borne by Parent. Payment of the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to a Book-Entry Share will only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Share is registered. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate and Book-Entry Share will be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article II, without interest thereon and less applicable Taxes (if any) required to be withheld.

A - 7

(d) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Shares. At the Effective Time, the share transfer books or ledger of the Company will be closed, and thereafter there will be no further registration of transfers of Company Shares on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will cease to have any rights with respect to the Company Shares represented thereby except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, a Certificate or Book-Entry Share is presented to the Surviving Company for any reason, it will be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

(e) Termination of Exchange Fund; No Liability. Unless otherwise determined in the Withholding Tax Ruling, at any time following 12 months after the Effective Time, Parent will be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) remaining in the Exchange Fund that have not been disbursed, or for which disbursement is pending subject only to the Exchange Agent’s routine administrative procedures, to holders of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share (other than holders of Excluded Shares), and thereafter such holders will be entitled to look only to the Surviving Company and Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the Per Share Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their Certificate or Book-Entry Share and compliance with the procedures in Section 2.2(c) (with Parent acting as the Exchange Agent), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Company, Parent, Merger Sub, or the Exchange Agent will be liable to any holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share for any Per Share Merger Consideration, dividends, or other amounts properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar applicable Law.

(f) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent will, or will direct the Exchange Agent to, issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof (such affidavit to be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent and the Exchange Agent), the Per Share Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.1; provided, however, that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to deliver a bond in such reasonable and customary amount as Parent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(a)

Company Options.

(i) Each Company Option to the extent vested, outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time in accordance with its terms (after giving effect to any vesting that occurs as a result of the Transactions in respect of the members of the Company Board and subject in all cases to the terms of the applicable Waiver Agreement) (such Company Option, a “Vested Cashed-Out Company Option”), without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the holder of such Vested Cashed-Out Company Option or any other Person, will be cancelled and converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive from the Surviving Company (except for Vested Option Consideration paid with respect to Section 102 Awards and Section 3(i) Awards, which shall be paid through the 102 Trustee) an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the number of Company Shares subject to such Vested Cashed-Out Company Option, multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the applicable per share exercise price of such Vested Cashed-Out Company Option (the “Vested Option Consideration”).

(ii) Each Company Option to the extent unvested, outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider (such Company Option, an “Unvested Cashed-Out Company Option” and, together with the Vested Cashed-Out Company Options, the “Cashed-Out Company Options”), without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, will be cancelled and converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive from the Surviving Company (except for Unvested Option Consideration paid with respect to Section 102 Awards and Section 3(i) Awards, which shall be paid through the 102 Trustee) an amount in cash per Company Share subject to such Unvested Cashed-Out Company Option equal to the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the applicable per share exercise price of such Unvested Cashed-Out Company Option, payable subject to the same vesting terms applicable to the Unvested Cashed-Out Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Unvested Option Consideration” and, together with the Vested Option Consideration, the “Option Consideration”); provided, however, that Parent may, in its sole discretion, adjust the original vesting dates scheduled to occur following the Effective Time to align with the next Quarterly Vesting Date following each such original vesting date. Each Company Option that is outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and not held by a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider will be cancelled without the payment of any consideration therefor.

(iii) For the avoidance of doubt, each Cashed-Out Company Option with a per share exercise price that is equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration will, in each case, as of the Effective Time, be cancelled without the payment of any consideration therefor.

A - 9

(iv) Any payments with respect to Cashed-Out Company Options will be made in accordance with Section 2.3(d) below, subject to all applicable Tax withholding requirements.

(b)

Company RSU Awards.

(i) Each Company RSU Award that is outstanding, vested and unsettled as of the Effective Time in accordance with its terms (after giving effect to any vesting that occurs as a result of the Transactions in respect of the members of the Company Board and subject in all cases to the terms of the applicable Waiver Agreement) that is not assumed by Parent in accordance with Section 2.3(b)(ii) (each, a “Cashed-Out Company RSU Award”), without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the holder of such Cashed-Out Company RSU Award or any other Person, will be cancelled and converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive from the Surviving Company (except for Cashed-Out RSU Consideration (as defined below) paid with respect to Section 102 Awards and Section 3(i) Awards, which shall be paid through the 102 Trustee) an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the number of Company Shares subject to such Cashed-Out Company RSU Award and (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration (the “Cashed-Out RSU Consideration”). Any such payment with respect to Cashed-Out Company RSU Awards will be made in accordance with Section 2.3(d) below, subject to all applicable Tax withholding requirements.

For the avoidance of doubt, if any performance-based vesting criteria applicable to a Company RSU Award has been achieved below target in respect of a performance period that has ended prior to the Effective Time (“Actual Achievement Level”), such performance-based vesting criteria shall be deemed achieved at the Actual Achievement Level and the portion of the Company RSU Award to which such achieved performance-based vesting criteria applied shall be assumed based on the performance-based vesting criteria being achieved at the Actual Achievement Level (and such portion of such Company RSU Award shall under no circumstances be deemed earned at target) (the “Actual Achievement Treatment” and, together with the Open Performance Period Treatment, the “PSU Award Treatment”), in each case, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the applicable award agreement, plan document or any other agreement or arrangement. Except as expressly provided above, following the Effective Time, each Assumed RSU Award shall continue to be governed by substantially the same terms and conditions (including service-based vesting), as were applicable to such Unvested Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time (provided, however, that, with respect to each Assumed RSU Award, Parent may, in its sole discretion, adjust the original vesting dates scheduled to occur following the Effective Time to align with the next Quarterly Vesting Date following each such original vesting date). Each Company RSU Award that is outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and not held by a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider will be cancelled without the payment of any consideration therefor.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to settle any Assumed RSU Award in cash.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall, at the Effective Time, instead cancel and convert each Unvested Company RSU Award which is a Section 102 Award or Section 3(i) Award into the right to receive through the 102 Trustee an amount in cash per Company Share subject to such Unvested Company RSU Award (with the number of shares subject to such Unvested Company RSU Award determined in accordance with Section 2.3(b)(ii) after application of the PSU Award Treatment) equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration, payable subject to the same service-based vesting, forfeiture and recoupment terms described in Section 2.3(b)(ii); provided, however, that Parent may, in its sole discretion, adjust the original vesting dates scheduled to occur following the Effective Time to align with the next Quarterly Vesting Date following each such original vesting date. Each Company RSU Award that is outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and not held by a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider will be cancelled without the payment of any consideration therefor.

If the Effective Time occurs on or before the last Purchase Date in an Offering Period (as each such term is defined in the Company ESPP) in effect as of the date of this Agreement (the “Final Offering Period”) and there are purchase rights then outstanding with respect to such Final Offering Period, the Company Board will, prior to the Effective Time, take such actions as are necessary to terminate the Final Offering Period on a date determined by the Company Board that is no later than ten days prior to the Closing Date (the “New Purchase Date”) and cause any purchase rights outstanding under the Company ESPP as of the New Purchase Date to be automatically exercised on the New Purchase Date in accordance with the terms of the Company ESPP.

A - 12

(iv) any consideration that may be payable pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(iii) (or the applicable portion thereof) shall be paid by the Surviving Company or its applicable Subsidiaries to the respective holders of Unvested Company RSU Awards through the Surviving Company’s or its applicable Subsidiary’s payroll systems, subject to applicable withholding Taxes, on the next payroll date following the applicable vesting date (or as soon as practicable thereafter).

(e) Parties’ Obligations. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company, Merger Sub and Parent will take all actions and adopt such resolutions as are necessary and appropriate to give effect to and accomplish the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.3. Parent will, or will cause the Surviving Company to, make the payments due under this Section 2.3, and Parent will take all actions necessary to ensure that, if applicable, the Surviving Company and the 102 Trustee have cash sufficient to satisfy the payment obligations set forth in this Section 2.3, including, to the extent necessary, depositing with the Surviving Company and the 102 Trustee the amounts due under this Section 2.3.

Section 2.4 Withholding.

(a) Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company, the 102 Trustee, the Exchange Agent, the Israeli Withholding Agent, and any other third-party paying agent (each a “Payor”) will each be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from the consideration (in cash or in kind) otherwise payable to a holder of Company Shares or Company Equity Awards pursuant to this Agreement, any amounts that are required to be withheld or deducted pursuant to the Code, the Ordinance or any applicable provisions of Israeli or non-Israeli Tax Law, and in accordance with the Withholding Tax Ruling and the Options Tax Ruling, if obtained. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions and subject to any other provision to the contrary in the Withholding Tax Ruling (if obtained), with respect to Israeli Taxes, the consideration payable to each Company Shareholder (other than the holders of Section 102 Shares) will be retained by the Exchange Agent for the benefit of each such Company Shareholder for a period of up to 365 days from Closing (the “Withholding Drop Date”), unless Parent or the Exchange Agent is otherwise explicitly instructed in writing by the ITA (during which time no Payor will make any payments to any Company Shareholder and withhold any amounts for Israeli Taxes from the payment deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, except as provided below and during which time each Company Shareholder may obtain (or, if one already exists, present to the Israeli Withholding Agent) a Valid Tax Certificate). If a Company Shareholder delivers, no later than three Business Days prior to the Withholding Drop Date a Valid Tax Certificate to a Payor, then the Per Share Merger Consideration due to such Company Shareholder will be paid to such Company Shareholder and the deduction and withholding of any Israeli Taxes will be made only in accordance with such Valid Tax Certificate, subject to any non-Israeli withholding which is applicable to the payment under applicable Law (if any). If any Company Shareholder (a) does not provide Payor with a Valid Tax Certificate, by no later than three Business Days before the Withholding Drop Date, or (b) submits a written request with Payor to release his portion of the consideration prior to the Withholding Drop Date and fails to submit a Valid Tax Certificate at or before such time, then the amount to be withheld from such Company Shareholder’s portion of the consideration will be calculated according to the applicable withholding rate on the date of payment, as reasonably determined by the Israeli Withholding Agent. Unless otherwise determined in the Withholding Tax Ruling, any withholding made in New Israeli Shekels with respect to payments made hereunder in Dollars will be calculated based on a conversion rate on the date the payment is actually made to any recipient and any currency conversion commissions will be borne by the applicable payment recipient and deducted from payments to be made to such payment recipient. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Withholding Tax Ruling is not obtained, and provided that the Israeli Withholding Agent delivers to Parent, prior to the Closing, an undertaking as required under Section 6.2.4.3 of the Income Tax Circular 19/2018 (Transaction for Sale of Rights in a Corporation that includes Consideration that will be Transferred to the Seller at Future Dates), then the Per Share Merger Consideration payable to each Company Shareholder (other than the holders of Section 102 Shares) will be paid, free of any withholding, to the Israeli Withholding Agent, and such amounts will be paid to Company Shareholders (other than the holders of Section 102 Shares) via the Exchange Agent, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.4, which will apply, mutatis mutandis, to the Israeli Withholding Agent, and the Parties agree to adjust the payment procedures accordingly pursuant to Section 2.6.

A - 13

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.4(a), any payments (in cash or in kind) made to holders of Company Options, holders of Company RSU Awards and holders of Section 102 Shares will be subject to deduction or withholding of Israeli Tax pursuant to the Ordinance on 16th day of the calendar month following the month during which the Closing occurs, unless (i) with respect to holders of Section 102 Awards and Section 3(i) Awards, the Options Tax Ruling (or the Interim Options Tax Ruling) shall have been obtained before the 16th day of the calendar month following the month during which the Closing occurs, and in such case, Parent or the Company, or any Person acting on their behalf shall act in accordance with the Options Tax Ruling (or the Interim Options Tax Ruling), (ii) subject to provisions of the Withholding Tax Ruling, if obtained, with respect to any non-Israeli resident holders of Company Options or Company RSU Awards that were granted such awards in consideration for work or services performed entirely outside of Israel and that provide to Parent, no later than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, with a validly executed declaration in a form satisfactory to Parent, then such payments will not be subject to any withholding or deduction of Israeli Tax, and will be made through the applicable Company Subsidiary’s payroll or accounts payable system, as applicable, subject to any non-Israeli withholding required under applicable Law, and (iii) with respect to holders of Company Options and Company RSU Awards that do not fall under clauses (i) and (ii) above, a Valid Tax Certificate was provided.

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.3(d)(ii) and this Section 2.4 and, if the Interim Options Tax Ruling is not obtained prior to the Closing Date, then the Section 3(i) Award Consideration will be delivered to the 102 Trustee free of withholding of Israeli Tax only if the 102 Trustee provides to Parent, prior to the Closing Date, an undertaking as required under Section 6.2.4.3 of the Income Tax Circular 19/2018 (Transaction for Sale of Rights in a Corporation that includes Consideration that will be Transferred to the Seller at Future Dates) with respect to such amounts.

Section 2.6 Adjustment of Payment Procedures. If following the date hereof, the Parties mutually determine in good faith, based on discussions with the Exchange Agent and Israeli Withholding Agent, or based on the Withholding Tax Ruling or Options Tax Ruling (in each case, if obtained), that the Parties are required to act in a manner other than as provided for in Section 2.2, Section 2.3, and Section 2.4 above with respect to the Tax withholding and payment procedures set forth therein, the Parties agree to take all action necessary or advisable, subject to mutual agreement between the Parties, to act in accordance with such required Tax withholding and payment procedures.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.2(a), if at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval (i) the Company has received an Acquisition Proposal from a Third Party which is not solicited in, or is otherwise the result of a, breach of this Section 5.2, (ii) the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, based on information then available, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal or would reasonably be likely to lead to a Superior Proposal (provided, however, that such determination in and of itself shall not constitute a Company Change of Recommendation, a violation of this Section 5.2 or a termination of this Agreement), and (iii) the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Laws of the State of Israel (provided, however, that such determination in and of itself shall not constitute a Company Change of Recommendation, a violation of this Section 5.2 or a termination of this Agreement), then the Company and its Representatives may, directly or indirectly, (x) furnish information (including non-public information) with respect to the Company and Company Subsidiaries and provide access to the books, records, personnel and facilities of the Company and Company Subsidiaries to the Third Party making such Acquisition Proposal, its Representatives and potential sources of financing if prior to so furnishing such information or providing access, the Company receives (or has previously received) from such Third Party an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement and (y) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Third Party making such Acquisition Proposal, its Representatives and potential sources of financing regarding such Acquisition Proposal and any changes thereto, including by making counterproposals thereto; provided, however, that any non-public information concerning the Company or Company Subsidiaries provided or made available to any Third Party will, to the extent not previously provided or made available to Parent or Merger Sub, be provided or made available to Parent or Merger Sub as promptly as practicable after it is provided or made available to such Third Party (and in any event, within 24 hours after such information is provided or made available).

A - 57

(d) From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or on the date, if any, on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8.1, in the event that the Company or any Company Subsidiary or their Representatives receives any Acquisition Proposal or any request for non-public information in connection with a possible Acquisition Proposal, within 24 hours after receipt of such Acquisition Proposal or request, the Company will inform Parent in writing of such Acquisition Proposal or request, including the identity of the Person making or submitting such Acquisition Proposal or request, the material terms and conditions thereof, and, if available, copies of any written documentation received by the Company setting forth such material terms and conditions. The Company will keep Parent reasonably informed with respect to the status of any such Acquisition Proposal or request and any modification or proposed modification thereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.2(a), the Company Board may at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, (x) effect a Company Change of Recommendation with respect to such Superior Proposal and/or (y) terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(h) solely to the extent and if and only if:

(i) (A) the Company will have received after the date hereof an Acquisition Proposal which is not solicited in, or is otherwise the result of a, breach of this Section 5.2 and (B) such Acquisition Proposal will not have been withdrawn;

(ii) the Company Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) will have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, that (A) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and (B) in light of such Superior Proposal, the failure to make a Company Change of Recommendation and/or terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(h) would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Laws of the State of Israel (provided, however, that such determination in and of itself shall not constitute a Company Change of Recommendation, a violation of this Section 5.2 or a termination of this Agreement);

A - 58

(iii) the Company Board will have provided to Parent at least four Business Days’ prior written notice (the “Notice Period”) (A) that it has received a Superior Proposal that was not solicited in, or was otherwise the result of a, breach of this Section 5.2, (B) that it intends to make a Company Change of Recommendation and/or terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(h) as a result of such Superior Proposal, and (C) specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, including the identity of the Person making such Superior Proposal and attaching the most current version of any written offer or proposed Contract relating thereto and, if the Company proposes to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(h), a copy of the proposed written, definitive acquisition agreement providing for the consummation of the transaction contemplated by such Superior Proposal (such acquisition agreement, a “Specified Definitive Acquisition Agreement”);

(iv) during the Notice Period, if requested by Parent, the Company will have, and will have caused its legal and financial advisors to have, reasonably engaged in good faith negotiations with Parent and its Representatives regarding any amendment or amendments to this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent and intended to cause the relevant Acquisition Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal; and

(v) the Company Board will have (A) considered in good faith any adjustments and/or proposed amendments to this Agreement (including a change to the price terms hereof) and the other agreements contemplated hereby that may be irrevocably offered in writing by Parent (the “Proposed Changed Terms”) no later than 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the last day of the Notice Period and (B) determined in good faith that the Superior Proposal would continue to constitute a Superior Proposal if such Proposed Changed Terms were to be given effect and that the failure to make a Company Change of Recommendation or terminate this Agreement under Section 8.1(h) would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Laws of the State of Israel in light of such Superior Proposal.

In the event of any revisions to a Superior Proposal offered in writing by the Third Party making such Superior Proposal, the Company will be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to again comply with the requirements of this Section 5.2(e) with respect to such new written notice; provided, that the Notice Period shall instead end at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately following Parent’s receipt of such new written notice.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.2(a), the Company Board may, at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, effect a Company Change of Recommendation in response to a Company Intervening Event solely to the extent and if and only if:

(i) the Company Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) will have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, that the failure to make a Company Change of Recommendation would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Laws of the State of Israel (provided, however, that such determination in and of itself shall not constitute a Company Change of Recommendation, a violation of this Section 5.2 or a termination of this Agreement);

A - 59

(ii) the Company will have provided Parent with a written notice (a “Company Intervening Event Notice”) of such determination, stating that such notice constitutes a Company Intervening Event Notice, providing a description of the material facts and circumstances giving rise to a Company Intervening Event, and that the Company Board intends to effect a Company Change of Recommendation (provided, however, that the sole action of giving such Company Intervening Event Notice and of the Company Board authorizing and disclosing (to the extent legally required) such Company Intervening Event Notice shall not constitute a Company Change of Recommendation or a violation of this Section 5.2 or a termination of this Agreement); and

(iii) during the period commencing on the date of Parent’s receipt of the Company Intervening Event Notice and ending at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the date that is the fifth Business Day thereafter, if requested by Parent, the Company will have, and will have caused its legal and financial advisors to have, reasonably engaged in good faith negotiations with Parent and its Representatives regarding any amendment or amendments to this Agreement and will have considered in good faith any proposals made by Parent, and after taking account of Parent’s proposals, if any, the Company Board again makes the determination set forth in Section 5.2(f)(i).

(g) Nothing contained in this Section 5.2 will prohibit the Company Board from (i) disclosing to the Company Shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 and Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act or a position contemplated by Section 329 of the ICL or (ii) making any disclosure to the Company Shareholders if the Company Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Laws of the State of Israel. The issuance by the Company or the Company Board of a “stop, look and listen” statement pending disclosure of its position, as contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, will not constitute a Company Change of Recommendation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 5.2(g) will not be deemed to permit the Company Board to make a Company Change of Recommendation or take any of the actions referred to in Section 5.2(b), except, in each case, to the extent expressly permitted by Section 5.2(e) or Section 5.2(f); provided, however, that, in the case of both clauses (i) and (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 5.2(g), any such disclosure, other than a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by such Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) or any communication under applicable Laws of the State of Israel with substantially similar content, will be deemed to be a Company Change of Recommendation unless the Company Board expressly publicly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation in such disclosure.

(a) The Company will prepare and furnish to the SEC on Form 6-K a Proxy Statement as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement (and in any event no later than 35 calendar days following the date of this Agreement). At the Company’s sole discretion, the Proxy Statement may include in the agenda for the Company Special Meeting certain matters required to be included in the agenda for the Annual General Meeting of the Company Shareholders under the ICL to the extent (x) such matters are set forth on Section 5.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter or (y) Parent has provided its prior written consent to the inclusion of such matters (the matters contemplated by the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y), the “Required AGM Matters”). For the avoidance of doubt, the approval of any or all of the Required AGM Matters will neither be a condition to, nor required in connection with, the approval of this Agreement and the Transactions or the consummation of the Transactions, including the Merger. Parent agrees to provide any information with respect to Parent, Merger Sub or their respective affiliates required to be included in the Proxy Statement under applicable Law. The Company will not include in the Proxy Statement any information with respect to Parent, Merger Sub or their respective affiliates, unless the form and content thereof have been consented to in writing by Parent prior to such inclusion. Prior to the filing, furnishing or mailing of the Proxy Statement, the Company will (i) provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any drafts of the Proxy Statement, (ii) consider in good faith, and will not unreasonably refuse to include in such drafts, all comments proposed by Parent or its Representatives (provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to include any such comments to the extent that the Company determines in good faith, in consultation with its counsel, that including such comments would result in the Proxy Statement containing an untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading), and (iii) to the extent reasonably practicable and not prohibited under applicable Law, permit Parent and its outside counsel to have a reasonable opportunity to participate in all communications, if any, with the SEC, Nasdaq or their respective staff, as applicable (including all meetings and telephone conferences) relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions. Without limiting any of the foregoing, the Proxy Statement will not, without the prior written consent of Parent, submit for approval or consideration at the Company Special Meeting any proposal other than (A) the proposal for the Company Shareholder Approval and (B) a customary proposal regarding postponement or adjournment of the Company Special Meeting. Each Required AGM Matter will be submitted for approval as a separate and detached item from the proposal for the Company Shareholder Approval and will, in no event, be deemed to be included within the definition of “Company Shareholder Approval”. Unless the Company Board has effected a Company Change of Recommendation in compliance with this Agreement, including Section 5.2, the Company will (1) include in the Proxy Statement the Company Board Recommendation and a copy of each fairness opinion obtained by the Company Board in connection with the approval by the Company Board of this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions, (2) cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed or made available to Company Shareholders as promptly as reasonably practicable following its date of filing or being furnished to the SEC (and, in any event, no later than three Business Days following such date) and (3) solicit from Company Shareholders proxies in favor of the approval of this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions. Unless the Company Board has effected a Company Change of Recommendation in compliance with this Agreement, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, necessary, proper or advisable on its part to cause the Company Shareholder Approval to be received at the Company Special Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

A - 61

(b) Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub further agrees that all documents that such Party is responsible for furnishing to or filing with the SEC in connection with the Transactions, and any amendments or supplements thereto, when filed, furnished or distributed or disseminated, as applicable, will comply as to form and substance in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the SEC, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and in each case, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the ICL and any other applicable Laws and the Company Charter Documents.

(c) Without limiting the obligations set forth in Section 5.3(a), if, at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company or Parent determines in its respective reasonable judgment that any information relating to the Company, the Parent or any of their respective affiliates should be set forth in an amendment of, or a supplement to, the Proxy Statement, so that the Proxy Statement would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Company or Parent, as applicable, will promptly notify the other Party, and, after providing the other Party and its counsel reasonable opportunity to review such information and considering in good faith any comments from the Company or Parent, as applicable, or their respective counsel, the Company and Parent will cooperate in the prompt filing or furnishing with the SEC of any necessary amendment of, or supplement to, the Proxy Statement and, to the extent required by Law, in disseminating the information contained in such amendment or supplement to the Company Shareholders.

(d) The Company will, in accordance with applicable Law and the Company Charter Documents, and in reasonable consultation with Parent, establish a record date for, duly call, publish the notice of and schedule and convene the Company Special Meeting as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement. The Company will comply with the notice requirements applicable to the Company in respect of the Company Special Meeting pursuant to the ICL and the Company Charter Documents. The Company will reasonably consult with Parent regarding the date of the Company Special Meeting, which, subject to the terms of the following sentence relating to postponement and adjournment thereof, will be held no later than 40 days following the date the Proxy Statement is furnished to the SEC. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3(d), the Company will not adjourn, postpone or delay the Company Special Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent, except that it may do so, after reasonable consultation with Parent, if and only if: (i) there are holders of an insufficient number of Company Shares present or represented by a proxy at the Company Special Meeting to constitute a quorum at the Company Special Meeting; (ii) such adjournment, postponement, delay or cancellation is required by applicable Law or a request from the SEC or Nasdaq; or (iii) in the good faith judgment of the Company Board (after consultation with its outside legal advisors), the failure to adjourn, postpone or delay the Company Special Meeting would be reasonably likely to not allow sufficient time under applicable Law for the distribution or dissemination of any required or appropriate supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement; provided, however, that, without the prior written consent of Parent, (A) no single such adjournment, postponement or delay will be for more than five Business Days and (B) in no event may the Company Special Meeting be postponed to later than the date that is ten Business Days after the date for which the Company Special Meeting was originally scheduled. In the event that the date of the Company Special Meeting as originally called is for any reason adjourned, postponed or otherwise delayed, the Company agrees that, unless Parent has otherwise approved in writing, it will use reasonable best efforts to implement such adjournment, postponement or other delay in such a way that the Company does not establish a new record date for the Company Special Meeting, as so adjourned, postponed or delayed, except as required by applicable Law. Without affecting the representations and warranties made in Section 4.5 and Section 4.6 above, (I) in the event that Parent or any Person listed in Section 320(c) of the ICL casts any votes in respect of the Merger, Parent will disclose to the Company its interest in the Company Shares so voted, and (II) at the Company Special Meeting, Parent and Merger Sub will disclose to the Company its interest in the Company Shares so voted and will cause any Company Shares owned by them and their affiliates (if any) to be voted in favor of the approval of the matters set forth on the agenda of the Company Special Meeting.

For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, it is the intention of the Parties that the Merger will be declared effective and the Certificate of Merger will be issued on the Closing Date, as a condition to the Closing taking place. For purposes of this Section 5.4(a), “Business Day” will have the meaning set forth in the Israeli Companies Regulations (Merger) 5760-2000 promulgated under the ICL.

A - 64

(c) Parent shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Company) to, use reasonable best efforts to waive, or cause to be waived, any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, evidence of insurability, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under any welfare benefit plan maintained by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Company) in which Continuing Employees (and their eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate as of the Effective Time, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods would not have been satisfied or waived under the comparable Company Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”).

Prior to the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1, the Company will not settle or offer to settle any such litigation commenced after the date of this Agreement against the Company or its directors, executive officers or similar Persons by any Company Shareholder relating to this Agreement and/or the Transactions without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed to the extent such settlement or offer to settle would not have a material adverse impact on Parent, the Surviving Company or any of their respective affiliates following the Effective Time).

A - 72

Section 6.9 Control of Operations. Without limiting any Party’s rights or obligations set forth in this Agreement, the Parties understand and agree that (a) nothing contained in this Agreement will give Parent or the Company, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the other Party’s operations prior to the Effective Time and (b) prior to the Effective Time, each of Parent and the Company will exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its operations.

Section 6.10 Tax Rulings.

(a) As soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement (but, in any event, no later than 15 Business Days following the date of this Agreement), the Company will instruct its Israeli counsel, advisors and/or accountants to prepare and file with the ITA an application for a ruling (which will be approved by Parent or its Israeli counsel prior to its submission and which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) confirming that (i) the cancellation and exchange of the Section 102 Awards in accordance with Section 2.3(a) and Section 2.3(b), and conversion of the Section 102 Shares in accordance with Section 2.1(a) will not be regarded as a violation of the “requisite holding period” (as such term is defined in Section 102 of the Ordinance) so long as the consideration payable under Section 2.3(a)(i), Section 2.3(a)(ii), Section 2.3(b)(i) and Section 2.3(b)(iv), and the Per Share Merger Consideration are deposited with the 102 Trustee until the end of the respective holding period, and (ii) the deposit of the consideration payable under Section 2.3(a)(i), Section 2.3(a)(ii), Section 2.3(b)(i), and Section 2.3(b)(iv), and the Per Share Merger Consideration with the Exchange Agent and the 102 Trustee will not be subject to any withholding obligation, and such ruling may provide other withholding instructions to the Exchange Agent and Israeli Withholding Agent with respect thereto (which ruling may be subject to customary conditions regularly associated with such a ruling) (the “Options Tax Ruling”). The Company will include in the request for the Options Tax Ruling a request to exempt Parent, the Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent and their respective agents from any withholding obligation in relation to any payments made with respect to any Section 102 Awards, Section 102 Shares or Section 3(i) Awards. If the Options Tax Ruling is not granted prior to the Closing or in accordance with the instructions of the ITA, the Company will seek to obtain prior to the Closing an interim tax ruling confirming, among other things, that Parent and any Person acting on its behalf (including the Exchange Agent) will be exempt from Israeli withholding Tax in relation to any payments made with respect to any Company Options, Section 102 Shares or Company RSU Awards (whether or not subject to Section 102 of the Ordinance) to the Exchange Agent, the 102 Trustee or the Company in connection with the Merger (the “Interim Options Tax Ruling”). To the extent that prior to the Closing an Interim Options Tax Ruling will have been obtained, then all references in this Agreement to the Options Tax Ruling will be deemed to refer to such Interim Options Tax Ruling, until such time that a final definitive Options Tax Ruling is obtained. The Company will use reasonable best efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to obtain the Options Tax Ruling prior to the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, obtaining the Interim Options Tax Ruling or the Options Tax Ruling prior to the Closing is not a condition to the Closing.

A - 73

(b) As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company will instruct its Israeli counsel, advisors and accountants to prepare and file with the ITA an application for a ruling (which will be approved by Parent or its Israeli counsel prior to its submission and which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) that: (i) with respect to holders of Company Shares that are non-Israeli residents (as defined in the Ordinance or as will be determined by the ITA), (A) exempting Parent, the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Company and their respective agents from any obligation to withhold Israeli Tax at the source from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, including the Per Share Merger Consideration (other than the Company Shares subject to Section 102 of the Ordinance), or clarifying that no such obligation exists, or (B) clearly instructing Parent, the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Company and their respective agents on how such withholding at the source is to be implemented, and in particular, with respect to the classes or categories of holders of the Company Shares from which Tax is to be withheld (if any), the rate or rates of withholding to be applied and how to identify any such non-Israeli residents; (ii) with respect to holders of Company Shares that are Israeli residents (as defined in the Ordinance or as will be determined by the ITA) (other than the Company Shares subject to Section 102 of the Ordinance) (x) exempting Parent, the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Company and their respective agents from any obligation to withhold Israeli Tax at the source from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, including the Per Share Merger Consideration, or clarifying that no such obligation exists, or (y) clearly instructing Parent, the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Company and their respective agents on how such withholding at the source is to be executed, and in particular, with respect to the classes or categories of holders of the Company Shares from which Tax is to be withheld (if any), the rate or rates of withholding to be applied; and (iii) and with respect to holders of Company Options and Company RSU Awards which are not Section 102 Awards, that are non-Israeli residents (as defined in the Ordinance or as will be determined by the ITA), (A) exempting Parent, the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Company and their respective agents from any obligation to withhold Israeli Tax at the source from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, including the Option Consideration and Cashed-Out RSU Consideration, as applicable, or clarifying that no such obligation exists, or (B) instructing Parent, the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Company and their respective agents on how such withholding at the source is to be executed, the rate or rates of withholding to be applied and how to identify any such non-Israeli residents (the “Withholding Tax Ruling” and, together with the Options Tax Ruling and the Interim Options Tax Ruling, the “Tax Rulings” ). The Company will use reasonable best efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to obtain the Withholding Tax Ruling prior to the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, obtaining the Withholding Tax Ruling prior to the Closing is not a condition to the Closing.

(c) Without limiting the generality of Section 6.10(a) and Section 6.10(b), each of the Company and Parent will direct their respective Israeli counsel, advisors and accountants to coordinate all material activities, and to cooperate with each other, with respect to the preparation and filing of any application and in the preparation of any written or oral submissions that may be necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the Options Tax Ruling (including the Interim Options Tax Ruling) and the Withholding Tax Ruling. The applications for, and the final texts of, the Interim Options Tax Ruling, the Options Tax Ruling and the Withholding Tax Ruling will be subject to the prior written confirmation of Parent or its counsel (which confirmation shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). In the event that the Interim Options Tax Ruling, the Options Tax Ruling or the Withholding Tax Ruling has not been obtained in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.10, Parent may make such payments and withhold any applicable Taxes in accordance with Article II.

A - 74

Section 6.11 Resignations. The Company will use reasonable best efforts to cause each member of the Company Board and of each governing body of a Company Subsidiary and, to the extent an officer of the Company and/or a Company Subsidiary is not designated by Parent as an officer of the Surviving Company in accordance with Section 1.6, each such officer of the Company and/or a Company Subsidiary to execute written resignations, in form and substance satisfactory to Parent, effective as of and conditioned upon the Effective Time (the “Resignations”), and the Company will use reasonable best efforts to deliver true, correct and complete copies of such executed Resignations to Parent prior to the Effective Time.

Section 6.12 SVB Credit Facility. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver evidence of the termination of that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2021, by and among Silicon Valley Bank, the Company and WalkMe, Inc. (the “SVB Credit Facility”) to Parent prior to the Effective Time (it being understood that (x) promptly following such termination (and, in any event, prior to the Effective Time), any Liens or other security interests created or perfected in connection with the SVB Credit Facility will be terminated and released in all respects and evidence of such termination and release will be delivered to Parent as promptly as practicable thereafter, (y) following such termination, none of the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any affiliate thereof will have any obligations under the SVB Credit Facility and (z) such termination may be effective as of and conditioned upon the Effective Time).

Section 6.13 Japanese JV. Effective as of and conditioned upon the Effective Time, the Company will exercise the call option set forth in Section 3.5(b) of the Japanese JV Agreement (the “Japanese JV Call Option”). In connection with the exercise of the Japanese JV Call Option, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to have each equityholder and optionholder of the Japanese JV (other than the Company) execute a release in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent and will deliver such releases (to the extent obtained prior to Closing) to Parent as soon as practicable thereafter. Parent shall be responsible for all costs and expenses associated with exercising the Japanese JV Call Option.

Section 6.14 Waiver Agreements. The Company will cause each Waiver Agreement, which will not, without the prior written consent of Parent, be amended or modified in any respect after delivery thereof to Parent concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, to remain in full force and effect from and after the date hereof.

ARTICLE VIII.

TERMINATION

Section 8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Merger and the other Transactions may be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time, notwithstanding receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval (except as otherwise provided below) as follows:

(a)

by mutual written consent of Parent and the Company;

(b) by either the Company or Parent, if a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction has issued a final and non-appealable Adverse Law or Order that remains in effect and that permanently restrains, permanently enjoins or otherwise permanently prohibits the consummation of the Merger; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b) will not be available to any Party where such Party’s failure to fulfill its obligation under this Agreement has been the principal cause of, or resulted in, such Adverse Law or Order;

(c) by Parent, if (i) there has been a breach by the Company of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, in each case, such that any condition contained in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 is not reasonably capable of being satisfied while such breach is continuing, (ii) Parent has delivered to the Company written notice of such breach and (iii) such breach is not capable of cure in a manner sufficient to allow satisfaction of the conditions in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that Parent will not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) if there has been any material breach by Parent or Merger Sub of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, such that any condition contained in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3 is not reasonably capable of being satisfied while such breach is continuing;

(d) by the Company, if (i) there has been a breach by Parent or Merger Sub of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement such that any condition contained in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3 is not reasonably capable of being satisfied while such breach is continuing, (ii) the Company has delivered to Parent written notice of such breach and (iii) such breach is not capable of cure in a manner sufficient to allow satisfaction of the conditions in Section 7.1 and Section 7.3 prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that the Company will not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) if there has been any material breach by the Company of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement such that any condition contained in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 is not reasonably capable of being satisfied while such breach is continuing;

(e) by either Parent or the Company, if the Effective Time will not have occurred on or prior to March 4, 2025 (as it may be extended pursuant to this Section 8.1(e), the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) will not be available to any Party whose breach of such Party’s representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement has caused, or resulted in, the Effective Time not occurring on or prior to the Outside Date; provided, further, that, if on the Outside Date all of the conditions to Closing, other than the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(b) (No Restraints) or Section 7.1(c) (Required Clearances), shall have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, which conditions shall be capable of being satisfied at such time), then the Outside Date may, at Parent’s sole discretion, be extended for an additional period of 90 days following the Outside Date;

A - 78

(f) by Parent, if, prior to receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, (i) the Company Board has effected a Company Change of Recommendation, whether or not permitted to do so under Section 5.2, or (ii) the Company materially breaches any of its obligations under Section 5.2;

(g) by either Parent or the Company, if the Company Shareholder Approval has not been obtained at the Company Special Meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof, in each case at which a vote on such approval was taken; provided, however, that a Party will not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(g) if the failure of such Party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform any covenant in this Agreement required to be performed by such Party at or prior to the Effective Time is the principal cause of the failure to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval; or

(h) by the Company, if, prior to receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company Board determines to terminate this Agreement in order to accept a Superior Proposal in compliance with Section 5.2(e); provided, however, that the Company, prior to or concurrently with such termination, pays the Company Termination Fee to or for the account of Parent pursuant to Section 8.2.

Section 8.2 Effect of Termination; Termination Fee.

(a) To terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1 (other than in the case of termination pursuant to Section 8.1(a)), the terminating Party will give written notice to the other Party specifying the subsection of Section 8.1 pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement will become null and void and there will be no liability on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, except that the Confidentiality Agreement, the last sentence of Section 6.1(a), Section 6.3, this Section 8.2 and Section 9.3 through Section 9.13 will survive such termination; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Party will remain liable for its fraud or a willful and material breach of its representations, warranties covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement prior to such termination and any aggrieved Party will be entitled to all rights and remedies available under applicable Law or in equity.

(b)

Company Termination Fee.

(i) The Parties agree that if this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(f) (Company Change of Recommendation) or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(h) (Superior Proposal), then the Company will pay to Parent prior to or substantially concurrently with such termination, in the case of a termination by the Company, or within two Business Days thereafter, in the case of a termination by Parent, the Company Termination Fee.

(ii) The Parties agree that if (x) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(e) (Outside Date) or Section 8.1(g) (Company Shareholder Approval) and, at the time of termination pursuant to Section 8.1(e) (Outside Date), the Company has not held the Company Special Meeting, (y) after the date of this Agreement and prior to the date of the Company Special Meeting, an Acquisition Proposal has been publicly announced (which was not subsequently withdrawn) and (z) within 12 months after such termination, (A) the Company or an affiliate thereof executes a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (which is consummated) or (B) the transaction contemplated by an Acquisition Proposal is consummated, then the Company will pay the Company Termination Fee to Parent no later than two Business Days after the date of such consummation of such transaction. For purposes of this Section 8.2(b)(ii), the term “Acquisition Proposal” will have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 9.5, except that the references to “20%” will be deemed to be references to “50%”.

A - 79

(iii) All payments under this Section 8.2(b) will be made in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Parent, or in the absence of such designation, an account established for the sole benefit of Parent.

(iv) The Company acknowledges that (A) the agreements contained in this Section 8.2(b) are an integral part of the Transactions and that, without these agreements, Parent and Merger Sub would not have entered into this Agreement and (B) the Company Termination Fee is not a penalty and is in a reasonable amount in order to compensate Parent and Merger Sub for their and their Representatives’ respective time, efforts and resources expended and opportunities forgone in anticipation of the consummation of the Transactions. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion. Accordingly, if the Company fails to pay when due any amount payable under this Section 8.2(b), then, in addition to such amount payable, the Company will (I) reimburse Parent for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and reasonable disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with the collection of such overdue amount and the enforcement by Parent of its rights under this Section 8.2(b) and (II) pay Parent interest on such overdue amount, for the period commencing as of the date such overdue amount was originally required to be paid and ending on the date such overdue amount is actually paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to 500 basis points over the prime lending rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was originally required to be made. Parent’s right to receive payment from the Company of the Company Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parent Related Parties against the Company Related Parties for any loss suffered as a result of the termination of this Agreement under circumstances requiring payment of the Company Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 8.2, and upon payment of such amount (if entitled under this Section 8.2(b)), none of the Company Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions, including the Merger (except that the Company shall remain obligated for, and Parent and its affiliates may be entitled to remedies with respect to, the sections of this Agreement surviving such termination pursuant to Section 8.2). In any circumstance where performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement would relieve the Company of its obligation to pay the Company Termination Fee, Parent and Merger Sub may, in their sole discretion (x) seek specific performance pursuant to Section 9.13(c), (y) withdraw any claim for specific performance and require payment of the Company Termination Fee if entitled to payment thereof under this Section 8.2(b), or (z) if Parent and Merger Sub are unable for any reason to obtain specific performance, require payment of the Company Termination Fee if entitled to payment thereof under this Section 8.2(b).

A - 80

(v) In the event that the Company reasonably determines it is required to withhold amounts on account of Israeli Taxes from or in connection with the Company Termination Fee, the Company will notify Parent of such determination as promptly as reasonably practicable after making such determination and provide it with reasonable time (but, in any event, no less than 30 days after providing such notification to Parent) to enter into a paying agent agreement with an Israeli paying agent and deliver the Company Termination Fee, without any Tax withholding, to such paying agent, for the benefit of Parent. Such paying agent will be responsible for making any withholding and remitting of Israeli Taxes to the ITA in accordance with such paying agent agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Termination Fee payable to Parent will be deposited and held by such paying agent for the benefit of Parent for a period of up to 180 days from the date such amount was delivered to the paying agent, during which time no amount will be withheld and during which time the Parent may obtain a Valid Tax Certificate allowing the paying agent to make the payment of the Company Termination Fee with no withholding, or a reduced rate of withholding, on account of Israeli Taxes. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely remitted to the ITA, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Parent. In the event that Parent requests such time extension as set forth above, then all references in this Agreement to payment of the Company Termination Fee will be deemed to provide for a deferral of the time upon which payment of the Company Termination Fee is due without such deferral limiting any rights of the Company to terminate this Agreement or in connection with such termination.

ARTICLE IX.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1 Amendment and Modification; Waiver.

(a) Subject to applicable Law and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended, modified and supplemented, whether before or after receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, by written agreement of the Company and Parent; provided, however, that after receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, no amendment will be made that by Law or in accordance with the rules of any relevant stock exchange requires further approval by Company Shareholders without obtaining such further approval. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties.

(b) At any time prior to the Effective Time, Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other, (ii) waive any breach of the representations and warranties of the other contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or (iii) waive compliance by the other with any of the agreements or covenants contained herein; provided, however, that after receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, there may not be any extension or waiver of this Agreement which decreases the Per Share Merger Consideration or which adversely affects the rights of the Company Shareholders hereunder without the approval of the Company Shareholders. Any such extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party or Parties to be bound thereby, but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition will not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

A - 81

Section 9.2 Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations and warranties in this Agreement or in any schedule, instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement will survive the Effective Time. None of the covenants or agreements of the Parties in this Agreement or in any schedule, instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement to the extent that it is to be performed prior to the Effective Time will survive the Effective Time. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.2 will not limit any covenant or agreement of the Parties which by its terms expressly contemplates performance at or after the Effective Time.

Section 9.3 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all Expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions will be paid by the Party incurring such Expenses.

Section 9.4 Notices. Any notices or other communications to any Party required or permitted under, or otherwise given in connection with, this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given (a) when delivered if delivered in person, (b) on the fifth Business Day after dispatch by registered or certified mail, (c) on the next Business Day if transmitted by national overnight courier or (d) when delivered by email, if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next Business Day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient, in each case, addressed as follows (or to such other Persons or addressees as may be designated in writing by the Party to receive such notice):

ANNEX B

June 4, 2024

WalkMe Ltd.

1 Walter Moses St.

Tel Aviv 6789903, Israel

Members of the Board:

We understand that WalkMe Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Company”), SAP SE, a European stock corporation (Societas Europaea) under the Laws of Germany and the European Union (“Parent”), and Hummingbird Acquisition Corp Ltd., a company organized under the Laws of the State of Israel and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), plan to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated as of June 4, 2024, pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”). The Company will be the surviving entity in the Merger, and from and after the effective time of the Merger, will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Pursuant to the Merger, each ordinary share, no par value, of the Company that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (such shares – other than “Excluded Shares” as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement – collectively, “Company Shares” and each, a “Company Share”), shall be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive $14.00 in cash, subject to adjustment as provided in the Merger Agreement, without interest thereon (the “Merger Consideration”). The terms and conditions of the Merger are more fully set forth in the Merger Agreement.

You have asked for our opinion as to whether the Merger Consideration to be received by the holders of Company Shares (the “Company Shareholders”) for each Company Share pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement, is fair, from a financial point of view, to such Company Shareholders.

For purposes of the opinion set forth herein, we have reviewed the execution version of the Merger Agreement provided to us on June 3, 2024, certain related documents and certain publicly available financial statements and other business and financial information of the Company. We have also reviewed certain forward-looking information relating to the Company prepared by the management of the Company, including financial projections and operating data of the Company (the “Company Projections”). Additionally, we discussed the past and current operations and financial condition and the prospects of the Company with senior management of the Company. We also reviewed the historical market prices and trading activity for Company Shares and compared the financial performance of the Company and the prices and trading activity of Company Shares with that of certain other selected publicly-traded companies and their securities. In addition, we reviewed the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of selected acquisition transactions, participated in certain discussions and negotiations among the representatives of the Company, Parent and their financial and legal advisors, and performed such other analyses, reviewed such other information and considered such other factors as we deemed appropriate.

B - 1

In arriving at our opinion, we have assumed and relied upon, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of the information that was publicly available or supplied or otherwise made available to, or discussed with, us by the Company. With respect to the Company Projections, we have been advised by the management of the Company, and have assumed based on discussions with the management and Board of Directors of the Company, that they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company of the future financial performance of the Company and other matters covered thereby. We express no view as to the Company Projections or the assumptions on which they were based. We have assumed that the terms of the final executed Merger Agreement will not differ materially from the execution version of the Merger Agreement provided to us, and that the Merger will be consummated in accordance with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, without any modification, waiver or delay. In addition, we have assumed that in connection with the receipt of all the necessary approvals of the proposed Merger, no delays, limitations, conditions or restrictions will be imposed that could have an adverse effect on the Company or the contemplated benefits expected to be derived in the proposed Merger. We have not made any independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of the Company or its affiliates nor have we been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal. In addition, we have relied, without independent verification, upon the assessment of the management of the Company as to the existing and future technology and products of the Company and the risks associated with such technology and products. In arriving at our opinion, we were not authorized to solicit, and did not solicit, interest from any party with respect to an acquisition, business combination or other extraordinary transaction involving the Company.

We have acted as financial advisor to the Company in connection with the Merger and will receive a fee for our services, a portion of which will become payable upon delivery of this opinion. We will receive an additional, larger fee if the Merger is consummated. In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse our expenses and indemnify us for certain liabilities arising out of our engagement. During the two-year period prior to the date hereof, no material relationship existed between Qatalyst Partners or any of its affiliates and the Company or Parent, pursuant to which compensation was received by Qatalyst Partners or its affiliates. Qatalyst Partners and/or its affiliates may in the future provide investment banking and other financial services to the Company or Parent and their respective affiliates for which we would expect to receive compensation.

This opinion has been approved by our opinion committee in accordance with our customary practice. This opinion is for the information of the Board of Directors of the Company and may not be used for any other purpose without our prior written consent. This opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how to vote with respect to the Merger or any other matter and does not in any manner address the price at which Company Shares will trade at any time.

B - 2

Our opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. Events occurring after the date hereof may affect this opinion and the assumptions used in preparing it, and we have neither been asked nor do we assume any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this opinion. Our opinion does not address the underlying business decision of the Company to engage in the Merger, or the relative merits of the Merger as compared to any strategic alternatives that may be available to the Company. Our opinion is limited to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration to be received pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement by the Company Shareholders, and we express no opinion with respect to the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to any of the officers, directors or employees of the Company or any of its affiliates, or any class of such persons, relative to such consideration.

Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion on the date hereof that the Merger Consideration to be received by the Company Shareholders for each Company Share pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such Company Shareholders.

Yours faithfully,

3.1 No Transfer of Shareholder Shares. Prior to the Expiration Time, Shareholder will not, directly or indirectly, (a) sell, pledge, encumber, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Shareholder Shares or any interest in the Shareholder Shares, (b) deposit the Shareholder Shares or any interest in the Shareholder Shares (excluding the deposit with the 102 Trustee of any Shareholder Shares underlying any 102 Trustee Awards (as such term is defined in the Company’s 2021 Share Incentive Plan)) into a voting trust or enter into a support agreement or arrangement with respect to any of the Shareholder Shares or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto (other than as contemplated herein) or (c) enter into any Contract, option or other arrangement with respect to, or otherwise agree to the direct or indirect acquisition or sale, pledge, encumbrance, assignment, transfer or other disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to hedging, cash settlement or otherwise) of, any of the Shareholder Shares (any such action in clause (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 3.1, a “Transfer”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing sentence, this Section 3.1 will not prohibit (i) a Transfer, in accordance with applicable Law, of Shareholder Shares by Shareholder in one or more transactions to Shareholder’s controlled Affiliates; provided, that, as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of such Transfer, such transferee becomes a party to this Agreement by executing and delivering a joinder to this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, pursuant to which such transferee agrees to hold such Shareholder Shares subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement as though such transferee were the “Shareholder” hereunder or (ii) a Shareholder from disposing of or surrendering any Shareholder Shares to the Company (or effect a “net exercise” or “net settlement” of a Company Equity Award) in connection with the exercise, vesting, settlement or conversion of any Company Equity Awards held by Shareholder in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Company Equity Plan, the applicable award agreement, and applicable law, in each case, solely to the extent required to pay the exercise price. If any involuntary Transfer of all or any portion of the Shareholder Shares shall occur (including, if applicable, a sale by Shareholder’s trustee in any bankruptcy, or a sale to a purchaser at any creditor’s or court sale), the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Shareholder Shares subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect until the Expiration Time.

3.2 Vote in Favor of the Merger and Related Matters. Shareholder, solely in Shareholder’s capacity as a Company Shareholder (and not, if applicable, in Shareholder’s capacity as an officer or director of the Company), agrees that, from and after the date hereof and until the Expiration Time (the “Voting Period”), at any meeting of the Company Shareholders or any adjournment or postponement thereof, or in connection with any action by written consent, if such action is permissible under Israeli law, of the Company Shareholders, Shareholder will:

(a) appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause all of its Shareholder Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum; and

(b) vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, all of its Shareholder Shares or deliver (or cause to be delivered) an executed written consent with respect to all such Shareholder Shares: (i) in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement, the Merger, the other Transactions and the consummation of the Transactions; (ii) in favor of any other proposal reasonably necessary to the consummation of the Transactions; (iii) in favor of any proposal recommended to adjourn or postpone any meeting of the Company Shareholders at which any of the foregoing matters are submitted for the consideration and vote of the Company Shareholders to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to approve any such matters on the date on which the meeting is initially held; and (iv) against (A) any Acquisition Proposal or any other action, proposal, transaction or agreement made in opposition to or in competition with, or that would prevent, materially impede or materially delay the consummation of, the Transactions, including the Merger, (B) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement involving the Company or any Company Subsidiary that would reasonably be expected to result in a material breach of any covenant, representation or warranty of the Company under the Merger Agreement or that would cause the failure of any condition set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 of the Merger Agreement and (C) any amendment of the Company Charter Documents or any other action, proposal, transaction or agreement involving the Company or any Company Subsidiary that would, in each case, in any material manner, impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify any provision of the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, including the Merger, or change the voting rights of any Company Shares.

Prior to the Expiration Time, Shareholder will, and will cause its controlled affiliates to, consult with Parent prior to issuing any press release or otherwise making any public announcements, disclosures or communications issued by Shareholder or its controlled affiliates with respect to this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the Merger or any of the other Transactions, and will not issue any such press release or make any such public announcement, disclosure or communication prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable Law, by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange or by the request of any Governmental Authority, in which case Shareholder will give Parent a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such public announcement, disclosure or communication to the extent legally permitted.

3.4 Fiduciary Duties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) Shareholder makes no agreement or understanding herein in any capacity other than in Shareholder’s capacity as a record holder and beneficial owner of the Shareholder Shares, and not in Shareholder’s capacity as a director and/or officer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, if applicable, (b) nothing herein will be construed to limit or affect any action or inaction by Shareholder or any Representative or affiliate of Shareholder, as applicable, serving on the Company Board or the governing body of any Company Subsidiary or as an officer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, acting in such Person’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, and (c) no exercise of fiduciary duties or action or inaction taken in such capacity as a director and/or officer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, including, but not limited to, any action or inaction pursuant to the Merger Agreement, will be deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement.

4.3 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

4.4 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable injury will occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached and that money damages or other legal remedies may not be an adequate remedy for any such damage. Shareholder agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by Shareholder of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or other agreement of Shareholder contained in this Agreement, Parent will be entitled to (a) a decree or order of specific performance to specifically enforce the observance and performance of any term or provision contained in this Agreement, with Shareholder agreeing that it will waive the defense of adequacy of a remedy for any reason at Law in any such Action, and/or (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach, this being in addition to any other remedy to which Parent is entitled at Law or in equity in any court of Israel, Germany or the United States. Shareholder further agrees that neither Parent nor any other party will be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 4.4, and Shareholder irrevocably waives any right he, she or it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction located in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel in in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such Action except in any court of competent jurisdiction located in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel, (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such Action may be heard and determined in any court of competent jurisdiction located in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such Action in such courts and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Action in such courts.

4.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by email of a .pdf, .tif, .jpeg or similar attachment) (“Electronic Delivery”) in two or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered will be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same agreement. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered using Electronic Delivery, will be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person.

No party hereto will raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a Contract, and each such party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent that such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

4.11 No Ownership Interest. Except as otherwise provided herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in Parent any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to the Shareholder Shares. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Shareholder Shares shall remain vested in and belong to Shareholder, and Parent shall not have any authority to exercise any power or authority to direct Shareholder in the voting of any of the Shareholder Shares, except as otherwise provided herein.

4.12 Expenses. All fees and expenses incurred in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party hereto incurring such expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated.

4.13 Non-Recourse. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or to the extent related to this Agreement may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, no past, present or future director, officer, manager, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, equityholder, controlling person, affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative of any party hereto, and no past, present or future director, officer, manager, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, equityholder, controlling person, affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative of any of the foregoing shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement (whether in tort, contract or otherwise).
