Shareholders should note that Mrs. Hani Lerman will remain in her position as a non-executive external director as a result of the fact that her appointment was for three years from April 2024.

 

Mr. Luke Ahern's first three-year term nomination as an external director will expire on 9 March 2025. In accordance with the Israeli Companies Law, on 5 February 2025 the board recommended to nominate Luke Ahern as an external director for a second three year term starting on 9 March 2025. Mr. Ahern has signed a director eligibility declaration indicating that he can be re nominated as an external director of the Company in accordance with the Israeli Companies Law. His declaration is included in schedule D to the notice of AGM and EGM, which will shortly be available to view on the Company's website.

Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, the Company's shareholders have to approve the remuneration policy for the Company's officers every three years. The last approval was received in March 2022, and shall expire on 9 March 2025. Therefore, it is proposed to approve the extension of the remuneration policy while updating it for a period of three years or for a longer period, to the extent permitted in the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law (the "2025 Remuneration Policy"). The 2025 Remuneration Policy is outlined in Schedule A to this announcement.

Pursuant to Section 267 to the Israeli Companies Law, any remuneration policy for officers requires the prior approval of that company's board of directors, remuneration committee and at a general meeting of shareholders. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, since the Company is not a subsidiary of a public company (as defined in the Israeli Companies Law), the Company's Board of Directors may approve the 2025 Remuneration Policy, despite the objection of the shareholders (if any), provided that the remuneration committee and thereafter the Board of Directors determine, following additional discussions and supported by detailed arguments, that it is for the benefit of the Company.

Since 2012, following the receipt of all relevant approvals, including at an extraordinary shareholders meeting, the Company has provided to all its directors and officers, including directors and or officers in its subsidiaries and/or affiliated companies, a deed of indemnification. The Company wishes to make certain updates to it as seen in the Deed (attached to this announcement as schedule B) and, if approved, will enter into this new Deed with all directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and/or affiliated companies, including the existing directors and officers who had the deed of indemnification prior to this approval.

In addition, it is proposed to approve the entering into of the aforementioned Deed with directors and officers related to the controlling Shareholders and/or their relatives, being: Mr. Zvi Borovitz, Mr. Moshe (Moni) Borovitz, Mr. David Yariv and the Management Company, on the same terms for a three year term or for a longer period, to the extent prescribed in the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law.

Subject to the adoption of the 2025 Remuneration Policy, the Company plans to extend the Management Services Agreement under the same terms and conditions, other than as described below. The Management Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mokirei Aya Ltd., which is the controlling shareholder of MTI, as a result of which, according to sections 270 and 275 to the Israeli Companies Law, any amendments to the Management Services Agreement, including an extension of the said agreement beyond a period of three years, requires, every three years, the prior approval of the Remuneration Committee, the Board of Directors and the approval of shareholders at a general meeting.

As a result of the aforesaid provisions to the Israeli Companies Law, the Company (following receipt of approvals from the Audit Committee, acting also as the Remuneration Committee, and the Board of Directors of the Company) proposed to extend the Management Services Agreement, as per the terms set out in Schedule C to this announcement, including the grant of the Deed (as set out below) and inclusion in insurance arrangements for officers, for a three year term or for a longer period, effective from 1 March 2025, to the extent prescribed in the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law. The overall terms and conditions of the Management Services Agreement shall remain largely unchanged, save for a small reduction in the minimum time required by the chairman and changes to the bonus provisions. For more details on the proposed changes see schedule C.

It should be noted that the terms of the Management Services Agreement and the Deed are in line with the 2025 Remuneration Policy.

In addition, it should be noted that both the Company and the Management Company are Israeli companies and subject to the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law.

It is proposed to approve the granting of the Deed to directors and officers who are related to the controlling Shareholders and/or their relatives: Mr. Zvi Borovitz, Mr. Moshe (Moni) Borovitz, Mr. David Yariv and Mokirei Aya Management (2003) Ltd on the same terms, for a three year term or for a longer period, to the extent prescribed in the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law, effective from 1 March 2025.

Following the announcement made on 25 November 2024 regarding the intention of Mr. Dov Feiner, director and the Company's antenna division General Manager, to step down from a full time  executive role in April 2025 after serving the Company for over 35 years, the Company is proposing to approve a grant equal to three (3) monthly salaries to Mr. Dov Feiner. Mr. Dov Feiner will become a Non-Executive Director of the Company on 1 May 2025.

10. Equity Component

10.1.     It is customary for officers in public companies to be offered an equity component as a part of their total compensation which is intended to align the interests of the officers to those of the Company's shareholders. 

Equity remuneration constitutes a proper mechanism to retain senior office holders and provides an incentive to senior office holders that is properly balanced between short term and long term considerations, inter alia, by providing for a vesting period.

In view of the advantages inherent in the equity remuneration as stated above, the Company adopted in 2023 an options plan for Company shares, (the "2023 Options Plan").   Subject to the approvals of the Remuneration Committee and the Board, from time to time,  , the Company may offer to any of its officers (with regard to directors, Chairmen and controlling shareholders and their relatives - with the approval of the General Shareholders Meeting) participation in the 2023 Options Plan (as may be updated from time to time) according to the rules detailed in section 10.2 below.

In this context, it is clarified that the aforesaid provisions will not apply to options granted to office holders according to previous option plans. The provisions of section 10.2 below will apply to grants starting from the date of approval of this Remuneration Policy.

10.2.    The granting of Equity remuneration components shall be in accordance with the 2023 Options Plan and in accordance with the following principles:

10.2.3.   The exercise price of an option shall be determined according to the higher of the two: (1) the average closing price of the share during the 30 trading days preceding the date of the Board of Directors resolution on the grant; Or (2) the closing price of the share on the date of the Board of Directors resolution on the grant;

14. Directors' Remuneration

In fact, all of the Company's non-executive and external directors currently receive annual remuneration based on $18,000 per year (including participation remuneration).

The non-executive chairman of the board may receive a fixed monthly salary which will not be lower than the annual remuneration and participation remuneration payable to a director in the Company.

Regarding the remuneration of the Chairman of the Board of Directors - see sections 8 and 9 above.

15.3.    In addition, The Company, with the approval of the Remuneration Committee only, may maintain the effectiveness and validity of its D&O Liability Insurance or may purchase a Run-Off coverage for a period of at least 7 years with respect to the liability of its office holders as directors and officers of the Company, all subject to the restrictions and consents required under the law, whose principal terms will not exceed the principal terms detailed in section 15.2 above .

Schedule B

Mr. / Mrs. ___________

                                                            Date _____________

 

Dear Sirs

 

Re        Deed of Indemnification (the "Deed")

Whereas    You are a director and/or an officer[3] of MTI Wireless Edge Ltd. and serves as a director or officer in a subsidiary company and/or a affiliated company of MTI Wireless Edge Ltd. (as it will be from time to time) (hereinafter together: " the Company"),

Whereas    The Company's Articles of Association allow the Company to indemnify its Officers both retrospectively and in advance;

Whereas    the Company received all approvals required by the Companies Law to indemnify directors and officers of the Company, in advance and in retrospect, on the terms specified in this Deed

Therefore, subject to the provisions of any applicable law and the provisions of this Deed, without derogating from the Company's rights to indemnify you retroactively pursuant to its Articles of Association, the Company confirm and obligate towards you, with no right to renege, as follows:

 

1.      Indemnification

         In your capacity as an Officer, the Company is hereby obligated to indemnify you against any liability or expense imposed upon you or incurred by you in consequence of any action or actions taken by you within the framework of your position as an Officer (including actions taken prior to the date of this Deed) or which you will take in your capacity as an Officer of the Company or its subsidiary, (the "Other Company "), as follows:

(a)     a financial liability which is imposed on you in favor of a third party in accordance with a judgment (including a judgment which was given by way of a settlement or through arbitration) approved by the court, as long as: (i) the maximum amount of the indemnification shall not exceed the amount specified in Section 2.1 below; and (ii) that such financial liability is directly or indirectly connected to one or more of the Indemnification Events or any part of them or to anything pertaining to them, as set forth in Appendix A to this Deed (the "Appendix");

(b)     reasonable litigation expenses, including legal fees, incurred as a consequence of an investigation or proceedings carried out against you by an authorized body and which concluded without the filing of an indictment against you and without imposing any financial liability on you as an alternative to criminal proceedings, or which ended without the filing of an indictment against you but with the imposition of financial liability as an alternative to criminal proceedings, in an offense where criminal intent is not required[4];

(c)     reasonable litigation expenses, including legal fees, incurred by you or which the court imposes upon you, in proceedings filed against you by the Company or on its behalf or by another person or in a criminal indictment from which you will be acquitted or a criminal indictment in which you will be convicted in an offence, where criminal intent is not required[5]; and

(d)     any other liability or expense which the Companies law may permit the Company to indemnify you against.

2.      The Indemnification Amount

2.1    The aggregate amount of the indemnity set forth in Section 1, in accordance with all Deeds of Indemnification issued by the Company from time to time to such Officers (hereinafter: "the Deeds"), shall not exceed an amount of US$ 4,000,000. This maximum amount applies to any Officer individually and to all Officers jointly, per indemnified event and cumulatively (hereinafter: "the Maximum Amount").

         For the purpose of clarification, and subject to Section 2.2 hereof, the payment of the Maximum Amount does not prejudice your rights as an Officer to receive compensation from an insurance policy in respect of those events specified in the Appendix which are covered by any directors' and officers' liability insurance taken out by the Company ("D&O Insurance").

2.2    For the avoidance of doubt, the Maximum Amount shall apply only in excess of the amount paid (if and to the extent that it is paid) within the framework of an insurance policy or an indemnification by any entity other than the Company, on the following conditions:

(a)     that an Officer will not be paid compensation twice for a liability or an expense which is the subject of the indemnity set forth in Section 1 above; and

(b)     that in the event that an Officer receives indemnification from the Company's insurer pursuant to a D&O Insurance policy or any other indemnification agreement concerning the subject matter of the indemnification, the indemnification shall be paid according to the balance between the amount of the financial liability and legal expense imposed on you and the amount received from the insurance policy or according to the other indemnification agreement, so long as the amount of indemnification by which the Company is obliged, shall not exceed the Maximum Amount.

2.3    In the event that the total amount of indemnification that the Company shall be required to pay at a certain date, together with the total amount of indemnification already paid by the Company as at that date in accordance with the Deed exceeds the Maximum Amount, then the Maximum Amount, or the balance thereof, shall be divided between those Officers entitled to indemnification pursuant to the Deeds and which have not been paid prior to that date (the "Entitled Officers") on a pro rata basis based on the amount of indemnification due to any of the Entitled Officers and the total amount of indemnification due to all the Entitled Officers on such date had it not been for the restriction of the Maximum Amount.

         In the event that the Company has paid indemnification amounts to you up to the Maximum Amount, the Company shall not make any additional payments unless these have been approved by the relevant organs of the Company in accordance with the applicable law on the date of making such additional payments, subject to a change in the Articles of the Company, to the extent that it shall be necessary for this purpose in accordance with the law.

3.      Interim Payments

Upon the occurrence of an Indemnification Event in accordance with the Appendix, the Company shall grant you the funds necessary to cover various expenses and payments involved in the handling of any legal proceedings relating to such event, including examination proceedings, so that the Officer will not be required to pay for such, subject to the provisions of this Deed.

In the event that the Company shall pay you, or make a payment on your behalf, any amount whatsoever within the framework of this Deed in connection with any legal proceedings and it later becomes apparent that you were not in fact entitled to be indemnified by the Company, the provisions of Section 4.8 of this Deed shall apply.

4.      Terms of Indemnification

 

Without prejudice to the foregoing, the indemnification given pursuant to this Deed is subject to the following conditions:

 

4.1    Notice of the Indemnification

         You will notify the Company as soon as reasonably practicable (the "Notice") of any legal proceedings which have been instigated against you or of any written warnings or threats of any potential proceedings in connection with any Indemnification Event (the "Legal Proceedings"). In addition to the Notice, you shall furnish the Company or anyone instructed by the Company with any document that you have received in connection with the Legal Proceedings.

4.2    Handling of the Defense

(a)  The Company, subject to any obligation or agreement with the Company's insurance provider, will be entitled to handle your defense in the Legal Proceedings or to appoint an attorney on its behalf (the "Attorney"). The Company or the Attorney shall endeavour to bring the Legal Proceedings to a conclusion and will furnish you with progress reports and shall consult with you in connection with the handling of the Legal Proceedings. The Attorney will be under a fiduciary duty both towards you and the Company.

In the event that either you or the Attorney will be of the opinion that there may be a conflict of interest between you and the Company in relation to your defense or in the event that you have an objection that had been reasonably grounded in the view of the Company, to the identity of the Attorney, the Company shall be notified or the Attorney will notify you of this conflict and you will be entitled to appoint your own attorney to handle your defense. The provisions of this Deed shall apply to the expenses incurred by you with regard to the appointment of your chosen attorney.

(b)  The Company shall not be entitled to finalise the Legal Proceedings by way of settlement or arrangement if this means that you will be required to pay expenses for which you are not indemnified under this Deed or that you will receive a payment of an amount within the framework of any D&O Insurance of the Company, without your prior written consent. Furthermore, the Company shall only be entitled to bring the Legal Proceeding to arbitration or alternative dispute resolution (ADR) with your prior written consent (such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). To clarify, even if the dispute is passed to arbitration, settlement or ADR or shall be carried out by any other manner whatsoever, the Company shall bear the expenses relating thereto within the framework of this Deed.

(c)  Notwithstanding that stated above, the Company shall not be entitled to finalize the aforementioned Legal Proceeding by way of settlement, arrangement, arbitration or ADR where criminal charges have been brought against you unless you have given your prior written consent. You will be entitled to decline your consent at your sole discretion without having to give your reasons.

(d)  At the Company's request, you will sign any document authorizing any attorney to handle your defense on your behalf and to represent you in all matters pertaining thereto. In the event that the Company shall not notify you within 14 days of the receipt of the Notice that it has undertaken to handle your defense or, in the event that you have objected to the Attorney (as set forth above), you will be entitled to appoint your own attorney and all of the provisions of this Deed shall apply accordingly, including the expenses incurred by you in connection with the appointment of your own attorney.

(e)  To the extent that the Company or the Officer may be entitled to indemnification within the framework of a D&O Insurance policy in connection with the Legal Proceedings, the appointment of the Attorney shall take into account the rights of the insurer to determine the identity of the Attorney and the obligations of the Company in accordance with such policy. Particular care will be taken if, according to the conditions of such policy, the insurer is entitled to determine the identity of the Attorney and if such is not done then the insurer will be released from its responsibility to indemnify or diminish it. In any event, the Company shall use its best endeavors, within the framework of the terms of the D&O Insurance, to influence the choosing of the Attorney according to the Officer's request.

4.3    Cooperation with the Company - You will cooperate with the Company or with any Attorney, in a reasonable manner and you will abide by all instructions of the insurers in accordance with any D&O Insurance in which the Company is committed, in connection with your defense in the Legal Proceedings, as long as the Company shall provide for your expenses so that you will not be required to pay for or finance them by yourself and all subject to the terms of this Deed.

4.4    Provision for Liabilities - Whether or not the Company acts in accordance with the provisions of this section, the Company shall provide for the aforementioned liabilities and expenses in such a manner so that you will not be required to pay for or finance them by yourself, that being without prejudice to the indemnification assured to you according with this Deed and subject to the terms of this Deed.

4.5    Lack of indemnification in cases of settlement or admission - The indemnity in connection with any legal proceeding against you, as stated in this Deed,  will not apply for any amounts due from you in consequence of a settlement or an arbitration unless the Company agrees in writing to the settlement or to the holding of the arbitration, however, the Company shall not unreasonably withhold its consent.

Furthermore, the indemnification shall not apply in the event of your admission in a criminal indictment for an offense that does not require criminal intent unless the Company has given its prior written consent to your admission.

4.6    Lack of application of indemnification in cases of an indemnification or an insurance of a third party - The Company shall not be required to pay any amounts to the extent that such amounts have been paid to you or in your stead in any manner whatsoever within the framework of a valid and collectable D&O Insurance policy of the Company, except in respect of any deductible under such insurance, or within the framework of any indemnification undertaking of any third party other than the Company.

4.7    Payment of the indemnification amount - Upon your request for any payment pursuant to this Deed, the Company shall take all actions necessary by law toward such payment and shall endeavour to receive all necessary approvals required, if any, including the approval of the court (if required).

4.8    Refund of indemnification amounts which have been paid - In the event that the Company shall pay to you or in your stead any amounts whatsoever within the framework of this Deed in connection with Legal Proceedings and it becomes apparent at a later date that you were not entitled to be indemnified, these amounts shall be viewed as a loan granted to you by the Company bearing interest at the minimum rate, as determined from time to time by law, linked to the consumer price index. You will be required to refund the aforementioned amounts to the Company upon its written request and you will do so in such a manner as determined by the Company.

In the event that the Company has paid you any amount pursuant to this Deed and the claim under which any such amounts paid is cancelled or decreased for any reason, you will assign all of your rights to the refund of the amount from the plaintiff in such proceeding to the Company and you will do all that is necessary in order that such an assignment shall be valid and that the Company will be able to realize it. Once this has been done, you will be exonerated from refunding those amounts. In the event that you fail to do so, you will be obliged to return the amount or a part of it, together with interest and linkage differentials, according to the rates and for the period by which you will be entitled for the refund of the amount from the plaintiff.

4.9    To the extent that you provide management services to the Company through a management company you own (hereinafter: "the Management Company"), the Company's obligations pursuant to this Deed will also apply to the Management Company, provided that legal proceedings are taken by the same plaintiff against you and the Management Company together on the same grounds and the indemnity amounts which the Company owes to you and the Management Company together, shall not exceed the Maximum Amount, and all within the framework and subject to the provisions of this Deed and the provisions of any law.

 



5.      The Indemnification Period

                     The obligations of the Company pursuant to this Deed shall be towards you and your estate without any time limitation such that they shall continue even after the completion of your service as an Officer of the Company or the Other Company, so long as the actions in respect of which the indemnification is given, were made during the period of your office as an Officer of the Company or in the Other Company or during the period of your employment with the Company, regardless of the date of discovery of the event in respect of which you are entitled to indemnification.
