RADCOM Ltd. 2024 Annual General Meeting Scheduled

Amended and Restated Proxy Statement
Supplement to Invitation to RADCOM’s
2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders
On August 21, 2024, RADCOM Ltd. (the “Registrant”)
issued a Report on Form 6-K announcing the Registrant’s 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on September 25,
2024 (the “Original Meeting”), along with the related proxy materials. On September 6, 2024, the Registrant issued a Report
on Form 6-K with supplemental disclosures to the proxy materials, announcing that Ms. Heli (Rachel) Bennun has decided to step down from
her role as Executive Chairman, effective December 31, 2024, and that Mr. Sami Totah was elected by the Board of Directors of the Registrant
(the “Board”) to succeed Ms. Bennun as Chairman. On September 20, 2024, following ongoing discussions with certain major shareholders
of the Registrant, the Board decided to postpone the date of the Original Meeting from September 25, 2024 to October 15, 2024, to the
same hour and place, in order to afford the parties the opportunity to conclude such discussions and consider certain changes to the notice
of meeting and proxy statement for the meeting originally scheduled for September 25, 2024 (the “Original Proxy Materials”).
Upon conclusion of the discussions with
certain major shareholders of the Registrant, the Board resolved to amend and restate the Original Proxy Materials in order to
reflect certain changes relating to the compensation policy and the compensation proposed to be paid to the Registrant’s
directors. Accordingly, this Report on Form 6-K is being furnished by the Registrant to supplement the information set forth in the
Original Proxy Materials and contains the proposed amendments to Items 2 (Approval of Amendments to the Company’s Compensation
Policy) and Item 3 (Approval of the Directors and Chairman Compensation Scheme) to the Original Proxy Materials, as reflected in the
marked and clean versions of the amended and restated notice and proxy statement attached (“A&R Proxy
Materials”).
The agenda and the wording of the proposed resolutions
included in the A&R Proxy Materials did not change compared to the Original Proxy Materials. In addition, any votes already submitted
shall continue to be valid and included in the count of votes unless the shareholder holding such shares will vote again, in which case
the last vote will count in the final tally of the votes. No new proxy cards will be mailed and the shareholders may continue to vote
by utilizing the proxy cards included in the Original Proxy Materials relating to the October 15, 2024 shareholders meeting.

will take place on October 15, 2024, at 4:00 p.m. (Israel time), at RADCOM’s offices located at 24 Raoul Wallenberg Street, Tel

The purpose of this Amended
and Restated Notice of 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “A&R Notice”) is to update the shareholders
of RADCOM of certain changes to the proxy materials originally published in connection with the Original Meeting.
Following discussions held
by the Company with certain major shareholders, and after additional internal review of the proposed resolutions at the Original Meeting,
our Board of Directors decided that it is in the best interests of RADCOM and its shareholders to make certain changes in the proxy materials
already published and furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 21, 2024, for the Original Meeting (the “Original
Proxy Materials”) in order to (i) revise the proposed changes to the Company’s Compensation Policy (as defined below)
and remove the proposed change to Section 13.2 thereto as reflected in Item 2 in the amended and restated proxy materials for the Meeting
(“A&R Proxy Materials”), and (ii) change the terms of the proposed compensation to our directors previously presented
in the Original Proxy Materials, as proposed under Item 3 in the A&R Proxy Materials.
The agenda of the Meeting
as well as the wording of the resolutions has not changed compared to the Original Meeting. In addition, any votes already submitted shall
continue to be valid and included in the count of votes for the Meeting unless the shareholder holding such shares will vote again, in
which case the last vote will count in the final tally of the votes for the Meeting. No new proxy cards will be mailed with respect to
the Meeting and the shareholders may continue to vote by utilizing the proxy cards included in the proxy materials relating to the Original
Meeting for the Meeting.
Throughout this A&R Notice
and the enclosed amended and restated Proxy Statement (the “A&R Proxy Statement”), we use terms such as “RADCOM,”
“we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company” and “our Company” to refer to RADCOM Ltd.
and terms such as “you” and “your” to refer to our shareholders.
The agenda of the Meeting,
which remains unchanged and therefore reflects the resolutions outlined in the Original Proxy Materials, will be as follows:
|
(1) |
Election of directors: |
|
● |
To elect Mr. Sami Totah as a director until the second annual general meeting following the Meeting; |

and any adjournment or postponement thereof. You are cordially invited to attend the Meeting in person.

at the address listed on the proxy card. Return of your proxy does not deprive you of your right to attend the Meeting, to revoke the
proxy or to vote your shares in person.
Joint holders of shares
should take note that, pursuant to Article 32(d) of our Amended and Restated Articles of Association, the vote of the senior holder of
the joint shares who tenders a vote, in person or by proxy, will be accepted to the exclusion of the vote(s) of the other joint holder(s).

To transact such other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. |
These proposals are described
in detail in this A&R Proxy Statement, which we urge you to read in its entirety. As more fully described in this A&R Proxy Statement,
certain shareholders may present proposals for consideration at the Meeting by submitting their proposals to the Company no later than
August 28, 2024. If we determine that a shareholder proposal has been duly and timely received and is appropriate, we will publish a revised

If any other matters properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, the persons designated as proxies intend to vote in
accordance with their judgment on such matters.
You may elect to vote your
Ordinary Shares once, either by attending the Meeting in person or by a duly executed proxy in the manners and as detailed below.
A form of proxy for use at
the Original Meeting and a return envelope for the proxy were enclosed with the Original Proxy Materials. No new proxy cards will be mailed
in connection with this A&R Proxy Statement. Proxy cards that were mailed as part of the Original Proxy Materials may be used to vote
at the Meeting. Any shares already voted in general, and proxy cards already voted in particular shall continue to be counted as part
of the tally for the Meeting unless voted again by the owner of the shares being voted, in which case the last vote will count and will
override any prior vote. For voting via telephone or the Internet, please use the phone number or URL, respectively, listed on the proxy
card. You may revoke the authority granted by your execution of proxies at any time before the exercise thereof by filing with us a written
notice of revocation or duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by voting in person at the Meeting. Proxies must be received no later
than forty-eight (48) hours prior to the time fixed for the Meeting. On all matters considered at the Meeting, abstentions and broker
non-votes will be treated as neither a vote “for” nor “against” the matter, although they will be counted in determining
whether a quorum is present.
Proxies for use at the Meeting
are being solicited by our Board. Only shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 26, 2024 (the “Record Date”),
will be entitled to vote at the Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. Proxies were mailed to shareholders on or about
August 26, 2024, and are being solicited chiefly by mail. However, certain of our officers, directors, employees and agents, none of whom
will receive additional compensation in connection therewith, may solicit proxies by telephone, e-mail or other personal contact. We will
bear the cost of external proxy solicitors (if any) and other costs of the solicitation of the proxies, including postage, printing and
handling, and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding material to beneficial owners of Ordinary
Shares.
If your Ordinary Shares are
held in “street name” meaning you are a beneficial owner with your shares held through a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee,
you have received or will receive instructions from your bank, brokerage firm or nominee, who is the holder of record of your shares.
You must follow the instructions of the holder of record in order for your shares to be voted.
OUTSTANDING VOTING SECURITIES AND QUORUM
As of August 1, 2024, we
had 15,661,841 outstanding Ordinary Shares, each of which is entitled to one vote upon each of the matters to be presented at the
Meeting. Two or more shareholders holding Ordinary Shares conferring in the aggregate at least one-third (1/3) of our voting power,
present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote, will constitute a quorum at the Meeting. If within an hour from the time
appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the Meeting shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week, at the same
time and place, or to such day and at such time and place as the Chairman may determine with the consent of the holders of a
majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person by proxy and voting on the question of adjournment. No
business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting except business which might lawfully have been transacted at the meeting as
originally called. At such adjourned meeting, any two (2) holders of Ordinary Shares present in person or by proxy, shall
constitute a quorum.
BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES BY CERTAIN
BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth
information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Ordinary Shares as of August 1, 2024, by:
|
● |
each person or entity known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares; |
|
● |
each of our directors and executive officers individually; and |
|
● |
each of our executive officers and directors as a group. |
The beneficial ownership of
Ordinary Shares is determined in accordance with the SEC rules and generally includes any Ordinary 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 that are currently exercisable
or exercisable within 60 days of August 1, 2024, and restricted share units (“RSUs”) that vest within 60 days of August
1, 2024, to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the options or RSUs 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 15,661,841 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of August 1, 2024.
The information presented
below is based on information provided to us by the directors, executive officers, and shareholders or disclosed by any of them in public
filings with the SEC. The voting rights of our major shareholders do not differ from the voting rights of other holders of our Ordinary
Shares.
None of our executive officers
or directors beneficially owns 1% or more of our outstanding Ordinary Shares.
As of August 1, 2024, our
Ordinary Shares had a total of 15 holders of record, of which 7 were registered with addresses in the United States. We believe that the
number of beneficial owners of our shares is substantially greater than the number of record holders, because a large portion of our Ordinary
Shares is held of record in broker “street name”.

and Mr. Totah were appointed by our Board to fill vacant positions on our Board for a term expiring at the time of the Meeting.
Our Board has determined that
each of Mr. Andre Fuetsch, Mr. Oren Most, Mr. Yaron Ravkaie, Mr. David (Dudi) Ripstein, Mr. Rami Schwartz, and Mr. Sami Totah is qualified
to serve as an independent director under the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules.
Under the Israeli Companies
Law, 5759-1999 and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Companies Law”), a public company incorporated under the
laws of the State of Israel must elect at least two external directors (as such are defined in the Companies Law). However, pursuant to
an exemption provided under section 5D of the Israeli Companies Regulations (Relief for Public Companies with Shares Listed for Trading
on a Stock Market Outside of Israel), 5760-2000 (the “Exemption”), a public company with securities listed on certain
foreign exchanges, including Nasdaq, that satisfies certain conditions, is exempt from the requirement to elect external directors or
comply with the audit committee and compensation committee composition requirements under the Companies Law. In July 2019, our Board
adopted the Exemption.
Election of Mr. Sami Totah as a director
At the Meeting, you will be
asked to elect Mr. Sami Totah to serve as a member of our Board.
Mr. Totah has served as
a director of the Company since June 2024. On September 6, 2024, we announced that our Board had nominated Mr. Totah as the next
Chairman, effective January 1, 2025, and subject to election as a director at the Meeting. Mr. Totah has been a General Partner
at Viola Growth, a private equity firm investing in the hi-tech arena, from 2008 until 2023. He has extensive knowledge and
execution experience in overseeing very large information technology projects and has built an extensive global network with
customers, partners, investors and executives. Mr. Totah served on the board of directors of various companies including Itamar
Medical Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE: ITMR) between 2017 and 2021, and Magic Software Enterprises Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE: MGIC), from 2023
until present, as well as private software companies.
If elected, Mr. Totah will
hold office until the second annual general meeting following the Meeting, to align with the term of all currently serving directors.
If elected, and assuming our shareholders approve the other proposals included in this Proxy Statement relating to certain amendments
to our Compensation Policy and to director’s compensation, Mr. Totah will be entitled to receive the compensation as set forth
in Item 3 below.
Election of Mr. David (Dudi) Ripstein as
a director
At the Meeting, you will be
asked to elect Mr. David (Dudi) Ripstein to serve as a member of our Board.
Mr. Ripstein has served as
a director of the Company since June 2024. Mr. Ripstein has three decades of experience in senior management positions in Israel’s
telecommunications industry and Israel Defense Force technology and intelligence units. Since 2021, Mr. Ripstein has served as a member
on the board of directors of Ceragon Networks Ltd., a Nasdaq-traded (CRNT), solution provider of wireless connectivity. From 2022 to 2023,
Mr. Ripstein served as the Chief Executive Officer of SatixFy Ltd. From 2017 to 2022, Mr. Ripstein served as a board member and the President
and Chief Executive Officer of GreenRoad Technologies Ltd., a global leader in fleet safety telematics. In 2016, Mr. Ripstein served as

group within the Israel Defense Forces-Intelligence Unit. Mr. Ripstein holds a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from the Technion.
If elected, Mr. Ripstein will
hold office until the second annual general meeting following the Meeting, to align with the term of all currently serving directors.
If elected, and assuming our shareholders approve the other proposals included in this Proxy Statement relating to certain amendments
to our Compensation Policy and to director’s compensation, Mr. Ripstein will be entitled to receive compensation as set forth
in Item 3 below.
Required Approval
The affirmative vote of a
majority of the Ordinary Shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter is required for the approval of the election
of each of the director nominees set forth above, where each nominee will be voted on separately.
Proposed Resolutions
It is proposed that the following
resolutions be adopted at the Meeting, as two separate resolutions:

the Meeting, effective immediately.”
The Board recommends a
vote “FOR” approval of each of the proposed resolutions.
ITEM 2 - APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO OUR COMPENSATION
POLICY
The Companies Law provides
that companies incorporated under the laws of Israel, whose shares are listed for trade on a stock exchange or have been offered to the
public in or outside of Israel, such as RADCOM, are required to adopt a policy governing the compensation of “Office Holders.”
The Companies Law defines the term “Office Holder” of a company to include a director, the chief executive officer, the chief
financial officer and any manager who is directly subordinate to the chief executive officer. Our shareholders approved a Compensation
Policy for Executive Officers (as amended, the “Compensation Policy”) initially in 2016. Under the Companies
Law, we are required to review, update (if necessary) and approve the Compensation Policy every three years. Most recently the Compensation
Policy was re-approved at our 2022 annual general meeting held in July 2022 (the “2022 AGM”) and further amended at
our 2023 AGM.
As part of a comprehensive
process conducted by our compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”) and the Board, as outlined herein under
Item 3 in this Proxy Statement, we propose to make certain changes to our Compensation Policy in order to allow us to provide our directors
and officers with competitive and incentivizing terms for service and in line with compensation provided by companies that are similar
to us in terms of size and industry. Accordingly:
|
● |
We propose to amend the cash compensation to our directors detailed in Section 20 of our Compensation Policy to reflect terms that we find to be beneficial to the Company and our shareholders; |
|
● |
We propose to amend Section 9.5 of our Compensation Policy, such that (i) the annual bonus for our Non-Sales Executive Officers (as defined in our Compensation Policy) other than the Chief Executive Officer, will be capped at eighty percent (80%) of such executive’s annual base salary, instead of the seventy-five percent (75%) currently provided under the Compensation Policy, and (ii) our Executive Officers (as defined in our Compensation Policy, other than our Chief Executive Officer) may be entitled to receive an additional bonus for Extraordinary Events (as such are defined in the Compensation Policy), and for fulfilling an additional temporal role in the Company, in an amount that shall not exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of such executive’s annual base salary, provided, however, that the overall aggregate bonus amount to which such Executive Officer shall be entitled to in any given year (annual and for Extraordinary Events) shall not exceed one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of his or her annual base salary in any given year; |
|
● |
We propose to amend Section 4.2 of the Compensation Policy, to align with the proposed change in Section 9.5 to the Compensation Policy described above, such that for Non-Sales Executives, the range of fixed compensation out of the total compensation shall be 20%-100% (instead of 25%-100%) and the range of variable compensation out of the total compensation shall be 0%-80% (instead of 0%-75%); |
|
● |
We propose to add new Section 26 to our Compensation Policy to allow the Company to retain, under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations, a member of the Board for the provision of special services, in addition to and beyond the services such member is providing as a member of the Board; and |
|
● |
We propose to amend Section 7.1.1 of our Compensation Policy such that the number of vacation days that may be granted to our Executive Officers shall be twenty-four (24) instead of twenty-eight (28), in order to align with the number of vacation days customary in our peer companies. |
Our Compensation Committee
and Board approved the proposed amendments as they believe that it would serve as an appropriate long-term incentive to our management
team and directors to advance the objectives of the Company, including its long-term strategy, and therefore beneficial to our shareholders.
A marked copy of the Compensation Policy indicating the proposed amendments thereof is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
Required Approval
The affirmative vote of
a majority of the Ordinary Shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter is required for the approval of the
proposed amendments, provided that either (i) at least a majority of the Ordinary Shares voted on the matter by non-controlling
shareholders or by shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the resolution, are voted in favor of the matter or (ii) the
total number of Ordinary Shares of non-controlling shareholders or of shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the
resolution voted against the matter does not exceed two percent of the outstanding voting power in our Company.
The Companies Law requires
that each shareholder voting on this proposal indicate whether or not such person is a controlling shareholder or has a personal interest
in such resolution. Under the Companies Law, a “Controlling Shareholder” for this purpose is any shareholder who has
the ability to direct RADCOM’s actions (other than by means of being a director or office holder of the Company), including any
shareholder holding 25% or more of the voting rights if no other shareholder owns more than 50% of the voting rights in RADCOM. A shareholder
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 a company. “Means of control” is defined as any one of the following: (i) the
right to vote at a general meeting of a company, or (ii) the right to appoint directors of a company or its chief executive officer.
To the knowledge of
RADCOM there is no shareholder who is a Controlling Shareholder.
A “Personal Interest”
of a shareholder (i) includes a personal interest of any member of the shareholder’s family (or spouses thereof) or a personal
interest of a company with respect to which the shareholder (or such family member) serves as a director or chief executive officer, owns
at least 5% of our Ordinary Shares or has the right to appoint a director or chief executive officer, and (ii) excludes an interest
arising solely from the ownership of our Ordinary Shares. All of our directors and officers are deemed to have a Personal Interest in
this matter.
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 a non-controlling shareholder and is not a shareholder who has a Personal Interest in the resolution.
If you are a Controlling Shareholder (which, as indicated above, is highly unlikely) or a shareholder who has a Personal Interest in the
resolution, please notify Ms. Hadar Rahav, our Chief Financial Officer, at c/o 24 Raoul Wallenberg Street, Tel Aviv 69719, Israel; telephone:
+972-77-774-5060, or by email (hadar.rahav@radcom.com). If your shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or other
nominee and you are a Controlling Shareholder or a shareholder who has a Personal Interest in the resolution, you should notify the Company
as outlined above, and, in addition, you should advise your broker, bank or other nominee of that status, and they in turn should notify
the Company as described in the preceding sentence.
Proposed
Resolution
It is proposed that the following
resolution be adopted at the Meeting:
“RESOLVED that
the proposed amendments to the Company’s Compensation Policy, in the form attached as Exhibit A to the Proxy Statement
are hereby approved.”
The Board of Directors
recommends a vote “FOR” approval of the proposed resolution.
ITEM 3 – APPROVAL OF THE DIRECTORS AND
CHAIRMAN COMPENSATION SCHEME
The terms of the compensation
payable to our directors as of today were approved by our shareholders as follows: (i) the cash compensation payable to our directors
was set at our 2020 annual general meeting held in July 2020 (the “2020 AGM”) and determined that each director shall
be entitled to annual cash compensation in the amount of NIS 52,000 per year (approximately $13,713 based on the representative NIS/USD
exchange rate of NIS 3.792/$1.00 published by the Bank of Israel on August 1, 2024 (the “Exchange Rate”)), a per meeting
fee in the amount of NIS 2,000 (approximately $527 based on the Exchange Rate) for board and committee meetings (the “Per Meeting
Fee”) and 40% of the Per Meeting Fee for each resolution adopted in writing in lieu of a meeting, and (ii) the equity compensation
payable to our directors was set under the Long-Term Directors Equity Grant Scheme approved at our 2022 AGM, which determined that the
directors shall be entitled to receive such amount of restricted share units (“RSUs”), for a three-year period, reflecting
5,200 RSUs annually with a 36-month vesting period, vesting in monthly installments. The terms of the cash compensation outlined above
have not been changed or updated since the 2020 AGM.
The existing terms of compensation
of our directors apply to all of our non-executive directors other than Andre Fuetsch. In the past, the Company has not systematically
examined the chairman’s and directors’ compensation terms in comparison with relevant peer group companies. The Compensation
Committee engaged Aon’s Talent Solutions Practice, a division of Aon plc (“AON”), an international firm, specializing
in this field, to conduct a detailed market benchmarking assessment for directors’ and chairman’s compensation terms. The
peer group study is a compensation and benefit examination which included peer companies selected to provide an appropriate comparative
model, based on appropriate similar aspects taking into account a number of factors, including: market capitalization, type of industry,
location of listing of securities, level of revenues, number of employees, geographical considerations and other factors that were considered
by AON as relevant for comparison. Following due consideration of the type and value of the directors and chairman compensation, as well
as the full compensation packages, granted to directors serving in companies included in the study, our Compensation Committee and Board
examined and evaluated AON’s data and recommendations. Our Compensation Committee and Board have determined that the value of the
aggregate compensation currently paid to our directors, including the value of their equity awards, is below the 25th percentile
of total director compensation provided by our peer companies, as provided by the study AON prepared. Following a review of the proposed
terms described in the Original Proxy Materials by our shareholders, some have reached out to members of our Board and management and
discussions were held. Some of our shareholders provided certain recommendations with respect to the appropriate compensation to be offered
to our directors and chairman. As we are committed to our shareholders and value their input, the management and Board conducted a further
evaluation of both the shareholders’ and AON’s recommendations and has determined that in efforts to balance the need to attract
qualified individuals to our Board and shareholders’ feedback, it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to
amend the Director and Chairman Compensation Scheme that was originally presented in the proxy statement filed with the SEC on August
21, 2024, and propose the terms set forth below, reflecting total compensation to non-executive directors (other than director with special
expertise) that will stand at the 55th percentile compared to the Company’s peers included in the AON study, instead
of the 62.5th percentile recommended by AON.
Based on AON’s recommendation,
our Compensation Committee and the Board still believe that it is in the best interests of the Company to transition to an annual retainer-based
compensation model without any per-meeting compensation, rather than an annual retainer plus per-meeting compensation model, which strikes
the right balance between overall cash and equity relative to market, as is done by the majority of the peer companies included in AON’s
study.
When considering the
proposed Directors and Chairman Compensation Scheme (as defined below), our Compensation Committee and Board analyzed all factors
and considerations required under our Compensation Policy and the Companies Law, including the responsibilities and duties of our
directors, the estimation of their expected contribution and the importance of our directors to the future growth and success
of the Company. Our Compensation Committee and Board believe that the Directors and Chairman Compensation Scheme as amended,
reflects an appropriate and reasonable balance between the customary compensation levels recommended to us by AON and the feedback
of certain major shareholders, as: (i) the Company competes on qualified individuals to serve on its Board, and therefore needs to
provide them with an adequate compensation package, which is aligned with common practices implemented by our peers, according to
the AON study; (ii) the Company wishes to further attract international directors which requires a competitive and attractive
compensation that will attract directors worldwide to serve on our Board and will be best suited to contribute and promote our
Company; (iii) the Directors and Chairman Compensation Scheme, as amended, will provide an adequate recognition for the time,
attention and expertise required by our directors; and (iv) the Directors and Chairman Compensation Scheme, as amended, has a
long-term incentive value while taking into account the interests of the Company’s shareholders and their dilution level.
Under the Companies Law, arrangements
regarding the compensation of a director in a public company require the approval of such company’s compensation committee, board
of directors and shareholders, in that order. The Directors and Chairman Compensation Scheme described below, was approved by our Compensation
Committee and Board, and they recommend our shareholders to approve it as well. In making their determination, each of our Compensation
Committee and Board determined that, subject to the shareholders’ approval of the proposed amendments to our Compensation Policy,
as set forth under Item 2 in this Proxy Statement, the Directors and Chairman Compensation Scheme is within the limitations set forth
in our Compensation Policy, as proposed to be amended. Our Compensation Committee and Board approved the Directors and Chairman Compensation
Scheme as they believe that the proposed compensation would serve as an appropriate long-term retention and performance incentive to advance
the objectives of the Company, including its long-term strategy.
At the Meeting, you will be
asked to approve, subject to and in accordance with the approval of the amendments to our Compensation Policy as proposed under Item 2
to this Proxy Statement, a scheme for our directors and Chairman compensation (the “Directors and Chairman Compensation Scheme”)
which is composed of four parts, each one of them to be approved separately, as follows:
A. Director Cash Compensation
We propose to pay our directors
and our non-executive chairman, if such is appointed, commencing as of the date of this Meeting, an annual retainer cash compensation
in the amount of $54,000.
We propose to pay our directors
who hold special expertise, as approved by the Board, commencing as of the date of this Meeting, an annual retainer cash compensation
in the amount of $70,000 (the “Special Expertise Director Cash Compensation”) instead of an annual retainer cash of
$52,000 and a per meeting fee in the amount of $2,000, which reflected the minimum compensation expected for directors who hold special
expertise. Our Board re-approved that Mr. Andre Fuetsch holds special expertise and therefore is entitled to the Special Expertise Director
Cash Compensation.
We propose to pay directors
who are serving as members of our committees, an additional fee as follows:
|
o |
The chairman of our audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) shall receive, an annual retainer cash compensation of $18,000. |
|
o |
A member of our Audit Committee shall receive an annual retainer cash compensation of $9,000. |
|
● |
Compensation Committee – |
|
o |
The chairman of our Compensation Committee shall receive an annual retainer cash compensation of $14,000. |
|
o |
A member of our Compensation Committee shall receive an annual retainer cash compensation of $7,000. |
All amounts above shall be
paid on a quarterly basis and are referred to as the “Member Cash Compensation”. In the event that a director only
serves (as a director and/or in any of the roles above) for a part of the year rather than completing a full-year term, then the compensation
above shall be adjusted proportionally.
The existing arrangements
previously approved by our shareholders for the Executive Chairman will continue to apply without change.
B. Director Equity Compensation
We propose to grant our directors
(other than our chairman) a grant reflecting 6,000 RSUs annually, which forms a minor increase from the 5,200 RSUs currently granted to
our directors per annum, and a grant reflecting 8,000 options to purchase Ordinary Shares (“Options”) annually, both
for the term for which such director is appointed, elected or re-elected (or, in the case of currently serving Directors not standing
for election, from the date of the Meeting). Such grants vest in equal monthly installments commencing on the date of the election or
re-election at the annual general meeting, or appointment, if earlier (or, in the case of currently serving Directors not standing for
election, from the date of the Meeting). The grant of Options in addition to RSUs was added in order to better align the directors’
interests with those of the Company and the Company’s future performance. Any unvested RSUs and Options shall expire on the date
a director ceases to serve as such for whatever reason (subject to the acceleration provisions set forth herein), and, with respect to
the Options, Options vested until the date such director ceases to serve as such shall be exercisable for a period of 180 days thereafter,
subject to the limitations set forth in the Company’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The exercise price
of the Options shall be the average of the closing price of the Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq in the 30 days prior to the annual general meeting
in question, or the appointment, if earlier. In addition, each of the two newly appointed directors listed in Item 1 above, shall receive
a one-time grant of 1,590 fully vested RSUs which represents the amount of RSUs they would have been entitled to for the period of service
from their appointment until the Meeting according to the 2022 AGM resolutions. The above shall be referred to as the “General
Director Grant”.
We propose to continue to
grant our directors who hold special expertise, as approved by the Board (“Special Expertise Directors”), a grant
reflecting 7,800 RSUs annually, as we have done before, and, in addition, a grant reflecting 3,200 Options annually, both for the term
for which such Special Expertise Director is appointed, elected or re-elected (or, in the case of currently serving Director with Special
Expertise, from the date of the Meeting). Such RSUs and Options will vest in equal monthly installments commencing on the date of the
election or re-election at the annual general meeting, or appointment, if earlier. The other terms governing the RSUs and Options shall
be substantially identical to the terms of the General Director Grant (the “Special Expertise Director Equity Grant”,
and together with the General Director Grant, the “Director Grant”). Our Board re-approved that Mr. Andre Fuetsch
holds special expertise and therefore is entitled to the Special Expertise Director Equity Grant.
C. Chairman Equity Compensation
We propose to grant our
chairman of the Board (whether a non-executive or to an executive chairman) a grant reflecting 15,840 RSUs and 21,120 Options
annually for the term for which the chairman is appointed, where such grants vest in equal monthly installments
commencing on the date of the annual general meeting in question, or the appointment, if earlier. The terms of the Options shall be
identical to the Options granted under the General Director Grant. The Chairman Grant reflects such a number of RSUs and Options
that is 2.64 times the General Director Grant, instead of such number of RSUs and Options that is 3 times the General Director
Grant, as was done in the past, reflecting a 12% discount. This is the amount recommended by our Compensation Committee and the
Board in order (i) to reflect AON’s support of the Board recommendation and decision to increase equity grant versus offering
a premium cash amount to a non-executive chairman as customary by companies in the peer group study while adding options in order to
better align the chairman’s interests with those of the Company and the Company’s future performance, and (ii) to
reflect the recommendations of certain shareholders with respect to the equity compensation to our chairman of the Board.
Any unvested RSUs and Options
shall expire on the date the chairman ceases to serve as a chairman (subject to the acceleration provisions set forth herein). In case
a director who is not the chairman is appointed as chairman, or a chairman ceases to act as such but remains a director, appropriate adjustments
(whether issuance of additional RSUs and Options or expiration of RSUs and Options) shall be made so the arrangements above are reflected
in such chairman or director equity compensation. The existing arrangements previously approved by our shareholders for the Executive
Chairman will continue to apply without change. If a director is appointed as our chairman, then such chairman shall receive an additional
number of RSUs and Options so that such chairman has, in the aggregate, 15,840 RSUs and 21,120 Options for each year of expected service
as a chairman, according to the terms set forth above. The above grants, as well as any related conditions, shall be referred to as the
“Chairman Grant”.
D. Acceleration of Equity Compensation
The Director Grant and the
Chairman Grant shall automatically vest in full upon (i) the occurrence of a change of control, as such term is referred to in the Compensation
Policy, where such person ceases to serve as a director, or (ii) upon such director’s or chairman’s, as applicable, disability
or death.
Required Approval
The approval of the Directors
and Chairman Compensation Scheme, subject to the approval of the amendments to our Compensation Policy set forth in Item 2 above, requires
the affirmative vote of a majority of the Ordinary Shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on such matter, where the vote will
be made separately on each component of the Directors and Chairman Compensation Scheme, as set forth below.
Proposed Resolutions
It is proposed that the following
resolutions be adopted at the Meeting (subject to the approval of the amendments to the Compensation Policy as proposed in Item 2 above),
as four separate resolutions:
“RESOLVED that
the Member Cash Compensation as outlined under Item 3 Part A, be and hereby is approved.”
“RESOLVED that
the Director Grant as outlined under Item 3 Part B, be and hereby is approved.”
“RESOLVED that
the Chairman Grant as outlined under Item 3 Part C, be and hereby is approved.”
“RESOLVED that
the acceleration provisions for the Director Grant and the Chairman Grant, as outlined under Item 3 Part D, be and hereby are approved.”
The Board recommends a
vote “FOR” approval of each of the proposed resolutions.

RADCOM LTD.
AMENDED AND RESTATED DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS COMPENSATION POLICY
As reapproved on July 21, 2022 and,
as amended on July 20, 2023, and on October 15, 2024
A. Overview
and Objectives
1. Introduction
The purpose of this document is to describe the
overall compensation strategy of RADCOM Ltd. (“RADCOM” or the “Company”) for its Executive Officers
and Directors, and to provide guidelines for setting compensation of its Executive Officers and Directors (this “Compensation
Policy” or “Policy”), in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Law, 1999 (the “Companies
Law”).
Compensation is a key component of RADCOM’s
overall human capital strategy to attract, retain, reward, and motivate highly skilled individuals who will enhance RADCOM’s value
and otherwise assist RADCOM to reach its business and financial long term goals. Accordingly, the structure of this Policy is established
to tie the compensation for each Executive Officer to RADCOM’s goals and performance.
For purposes of this Policy, “Executive
Officers” shall mean “Office Holders” as such term is defined in the Companies Law, excluding, unless otherwise
expressly indicated herein, RADCOM’s Directors.
Under no event shall the Company be deemed by
this Policy, as being obligated to provide and/or grant any compensation component mentioned hereunder, to any of its Executive Officers
and/or Directors; this Policy shall apply to compensation agreements and arrangements which will be approved after the date on which this
Compensation Policy is approved by the shareholders of RADCOM.
The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors
of RADCOM shall review and reassess the adequacy of this Policy from time to time, as required by the Companies Law.
2. Objectives
RADCOM’s objectives and goals in setting
this Compensation Policy are to attract, motivate and retain highly skilled and experienced personnel who will provide leadership for
RADCOM’s success and enhance shareholder value, while supporting a performance culture that is based on merit, and differentiates
and rewards excellent performance in the long term, and recognizes RADCOM’s values. To that end, this Policy is designed, among
others:
|
2.1. |
To closely align the interests of the Directors and Executive Officers with those of Company’s stockholders in order to enhance stockholder value; |
|
2.2. |
To provide the Executive Officers with a structured and balanced compensation package, including competitive salaries and benefits, performance-motivating cash and equity incentive programs; and |
|
2.3. |
To provide appropriate awards for superior individual and corporate performance. |
3. Compensation
structure and instruments
|
3.1. |
Compensation instruments under this Compensation Policy may include the following: |
|
3.1.2. |
Benefits and perquisites; |
|
3.1.4. |
Equity based compensation; and |
|
3.1.5. |
Retirement and termination of service arrangements. |
|
3.2. |
A change in the compensation package of an Executive Officer which reports directly and/or indirectly to the CEO, which results in an increase of such Executive Officer’s total compensation by no more than an amount equal to two (2) monthly salaries, may be approved solely by the CEO, provided all elements of compensation of such Executive Officer will continue to meet the requirements of the Compensation Policy. |
|
3.3. |
A change in the compensation package of the CEO, which results in an increase of the CEO’s total compensation by no more than ten percent (10%) per annum, may be approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors, provided all elements of compensation of the CEO will continue to meet the requirements of the Compensation Policy. |
4. Overall compensation
- Ratio between fixed and variable compensation
|
4.1. |
This Policy aims to balance the mix of Fixed Compensation (base salary, benefits and perquisites) and Variable Compensation (cash bonuses and equity-based compensation) in order to, among other things, appropriately incentivize Executive Officers to meet Company’s goals while considering Company’s management of business risks; |
|
4.2. |
In light of the foregoing, the table below reflects the ratio between Fixed and Variable Compensation permitted under this Policy (per annum basis): |
| |
Range for % of fixed compensation out of the total compensation | |
Range for % of variable compensation out of the total compensation(*) |
CEO | |
20% – 100% | |

2520% – 100% | |
0% – 7580% |
Sales Executives | |
15% – 100% | |

(*) |
Variable compensation includes annual bonuses and equity compensation. The variable component in regard of the equity compensation reflects the value at the date of grant. |
5. Inter-Company
Compensation Ratio
|
5.1. |
In the process of composing this Policy, RADCOM has examined the ratio between overall compensation of the Executive Officers and the average and median salary of the other employees of RADCOM (including employee-contractors and agency contractors, if any) (the “Ratio”). |
|
5.2. |
The possible ramifications of the Ratio on the work environment in RADCOM were examined in order to ensure that levels of executive compensation, as compared to the overall workforce will not have a negative impact on work relations in RADCOM. |
|
5.3. |
The following is the current compensation Ratio: overall compensation of each executive, including the CEO, is not more than ten (10) times the average (and median) of the overall compensation of the other headquarter employees. |

|
6.1. |
The base salary varies between Executive Officers, and is individually determined according to the past performance, educational background, prior business experience, qualifications, role and the business responsibilities of the Executive Officer. |
|
6.2. |
Since a competitive base salary is essential to Company’s ability to attract and retain highly skilled professionals, RADCOM will seek to establish a base salary that is competitive with the base salaries paid to Executive Officers of a peer group of companies, while considering, among others, RADCOM’s size and field of operation. To that end, RADCOM shall utilize as a reference comparative market data and practices. |

|
9.1.1. |

AMENDED AND
RESTATED PROXY STATEMENT
2024 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
This Amended
and Restated Proxy Statement (the “A&R Proxy Statement”, or “Proxy
Statement”) is furnished to the holders of our ordinary shares, NIS 0.20 nominal value (the “Ordinary Shares”),
in connection with the solicitation by our Board of Directors (the “Board”) of proxies for use at the 2024 Annual General
Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”), or at any adjournment thereof, pursuant to the accompanying Amended
and Restated Notice of 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. The Meeting will be held on WednesdayTuesday,
September 25October 15, 2024 at 4:00 p.m.
(Israel time), at our offices located at 24 Raoul Wallenberg Street, Tel Aviv, Israel.
On August
21, 2024, we announced that our 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Original Meeting”) will be held on
Wednesday, September 25, 2024. On September 20, 2024, we announced that the Original Meeting will be postponed and will take place on
October 15, 2024, at 4:00 p.m. (Israel time), at our offices located at 24 Raoul Wallenberg Street, Tel Aviv, Israel.
The purpose
of this A&R Proxy Statement is to amend and restate the proxy materials originally published in connection with the Original Meeting.
Following
discussions held by the Company with certain major shareholders, and after additional internal review of the proposed resolutions at the
Original Meeting, our Board of Directors decided that it is in the best interests of RADCOM and its shareholders to make certain changes
in the proxy materials already published and furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 21, 2024, for the Original
Meeting (the “Original Proxy Materials”) in order to (i) revise the proposed changes to the Company’s Compensation
Policy (as defined below) and remove the proposed change to Section 13.2 thereto as reflected in Item 2 in the A&R Proxy Statement,
and (ii) change the terms of the proposed compensation to our directors previously presented in the Original Proxy Materials, as proposed
under Item 3 in the A&R Proxy Statement.
The agenda
of the Meeting as well as the wording of the proposed resolutions has not changed compared to the Original Meeting. In addition, any votes
already submitted shall continue to be valid and included in the count of votes for the Meeting unless the shareholder holding such shares
will vote again, in which case the last vote will count in the final tally of the votes for the Meeting. No new proxy cards will be mailed
with respect to the Meeting and the shareholders may continue to vote by utilizing the proxy cards included in the proxy materials relating
to the Original Meeting for the Meeting.
Throughout this A&R
Proxy Statement, we use terms such as “RADCOM,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “the
Company” and “our Company” to refer to RADCOM Ltd. and terms such as “you” and “your” to refer
to our shareholders.
The agenda of the Meeting,
which remains unchanged and therefore reflects the resolutions outlined in the Original Proxy Materials, will be as follows:
|
(1) |
Election of directors: |
|
● |
To elect Mr. Sami Totah as a director until the second annual general meeting following the Meeting; |
|
● |
To elect Mr. David (Dudi) Ripstein as a director until the second annual general meeting following the Meeting; |
|
(2) |
To approve amendments to the Company’s Compensation Policy; |
|
(3) |
To approve the Directors and Chairman Compensation Scheme; |
|
(4) |
To re-appoint Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a Member of Ernst & Young Global, as our independent auditors until the next annual general meeting of shareholders, and to authorize the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors to fix their remuneration for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024; |
|
(5) |
To present and discuss our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023; and |
|
(6) |
To transact such other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. |
These proposals are described
in detail in this A&R Pproxy Sstatement,
which we urge you to read in its entirety. As more fully described in this A&R Pproxy
Sstatement, certain shareholders may present
proposals for consideration at the Meeting by submitting their proposals to the Company no later than August 28, 2024. If we determine
that a shareholder proposal has been duly and timely received and is appropriate, we will publish a revised agenda in the manner set forth
in the proxy statement. We are currently not aware of any other matters that will come before the Meeting. If any other matters properly
come before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, the persons designated as proxies intend to vote in accordance with their judgment
on such matters.
You may elect to vote your
Ordinary Shares once, either by attending the Meeting in person or by a duly executed proxy in the manners and as detailed below.
A form of proxy for use at
the Original Meeting and a return envelope for the proxy weare
enclosed with the Original Proxy Materials. No new proxy cards
will be mailed in connection with this A&R Proxy Statement. Proxy cards that were mailed as part of the Original Proxy Materials may
be used to vote at the Meeting. Any shares already voted in general, and proxy cards already voted in particular shall continue to be
counted as part of the tally for the Meeting unless voted again by the owner of the shares being voted, in which case the last vote will
count and will override any prior vote. For voting via telephone or the Internet, please use the phone number or URL, respectively,
listed on the proxy card. You may revoke the authority granted by your execution of proxies at any time before the exercise thereof by
filing with us a written notice of revocation or duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by voting in person at the Meeting. Proxies
must be received no later than forty-eight (48) hours prior to the time fixed for the Meeting. On all matters considered at the Meeting,
abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as neither a vote “for” nor “against” the matter, although they
will be counted in determining whether a quorum is present.
Proxies for use at the Meeting
are being solicited by our Board. Only shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 26, 2024 (the “Record Date”),
will be entitled to vote at the Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. Proxies werewill
be mailed to shareholders on or about August 26, 2024, and are being will
be solicited chiefly by mail. However, certain of our officers, directors, employees and agents, none of whom will receive
additional compensation in connection therewith, may solicit proxies by telephone, e-mail or other personal contact. We will bear the
cost of external proxy solicitors (if any) and other costs of the solicitation of the proxies, including postage, printing and handling,
and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding material to beneficial owners of Ordinary Shares.
If your Ordinary Shares are
held in “street name” meaning you are a beneficial owner with your shares held through a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee,
you have received or will receive instructions from your bank, brokerage firm or nominee, who
is the holder of record of your shares. You must follow the instructions of the holder of record in order for your shares to be voted.
OUTSTANDING VOTING SECURITIES AND QUORUM
As of August 1, 2024, we
had 15,661,841 outstanding Ordinary Shares, each of which is entitled to one vote upon each of the matters to be presented at the
Meeting. Two or more shareholders holding Ordinary Shares conferring in the aggregate at least one-third (1/3) of our voting power,
present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote, will constitute a quorum at the Meeting. If within an hour from the time
appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the Meeting shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week, at the same
time and place, or to such day and at such time and place as the Chairman may determine with the consent of the holders of a
majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person by proxy and voting on the question of adjournment. No
business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting except business which might lawfully have been transacted at the meeting as
originally called. At such adjourned meeting, any two (2) holders of Ordinary Shares present in person or by proxy, shall
constitute a quorum.
BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES BY CERTAIN
BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth
information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Ordinary Shares as of August 1, 2024, by:
|
● |
each person or entity known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares; |
|
● |
each of our directors and executive officers individually; and |
|
● |
each of our executive officers and directors as a group. |
The beneficial ownership of
Ordinary Shares is determined in accordance with the SEC rules and generally includes any Ordinary 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 that are currently exercisable
or exercisable within 60 days of August 1, 2024, and restricted share units (“RSUs”) that vest within 60 days of August
1, 2024, to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the options or RSUs 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 15,661,841 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of August 1, 2024.
The information presented
below is based on information provided to us by the directors, executive officers, and shareholders or disclosed by any of them in public
filings with the SEC. The voting rights of our major shareholders do not differ from the voting rights of other holders of our Ordinary
Shares.
None of our executive officers
or directors beneficially owns 1% or more of our outstanding Ordinary Shares.
As of August 1, 2024, our
Ordinary Shares had a total of 15 holders of record, of which 7 were registered with addresses in the United States. We believe that the
number of beneficial owners of our shares is substantially greater than the number of record holders, because a large portion of our Ordinary
Shares is held of record in broker “street name”.

6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees – B. Compensation” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F, which was filed on April
2, 2024, with the SEC.
ITEM 1 – ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Our Board is comprised of
Rachel (Heli) Bennun (Executive Chairman), and our other directors: Andre Fuetsch, Oren Most, Yaron Ravkaie, David (Dudi) Ripstein, Rami
Schwartz and Sami Totah. Our directors are elected by the shareholders at the annual general meeting of the shareholders, except
in certain cases where directors are appointed by the Board until the first meeting of the shareholders thereafter. Other than Messrs.
Ripstein and Totah, all of our directors were re-elected to serve on our Board at our annual general meeting of shareholders which took
place in August 2023 (the “2023 AGM”) until the third annual meeting after the 2023 AGM. In June 2024, Mr. Ripstein
and Mr. Totah were appointed by our Board to fill vacant positions on our Board for a term expiring at the time of the Meeting.
Our Board has determined that
each of Mr. Andre Fuetsch, Mr. Oren Most, Mr. Yaron Ravkaie, Mr. David (Dudi) Ripstein, Mr. Rami Schwartz, and Mr. Sami Totah is qualified
to serve as an independent director under the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules.
Under the Israeli Companies
Law, 5759-1999 and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Companies Law”), a public company incorporated under the

an exemption provided under section 5D of the Israeli Companies Regulations (Relief for Public Companies with Shares Listed for Trading
on a Stock Market Outside of Israel), 5760-2000 (the “Exemption”), a public company with securities listed on certain
foreign exchanges, including Nasdaq, that satisfies certain conditions, is exempt from the requirement to elect external directors or
comply with the audit committee and compensation committee composition requirements under the Companies Law. In July 2019, our Board
adopted the Exemption.
Election of Mr. Sami Totah as a director
At the Meeting, you will be
asked to elect Mr. Sami Totah to serve as a member of our Board.
Mr.
Totah has served as a director of the Company since June 2024. On September 6, 2024, we announced

between 2017 and 2021, and Magic Software Enterprises Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE: MGIC), from 2023 until present, as well as private software
companies.

ITEM 2 - APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO OUR COMPENSATION
POLICY
The Companies Law provides
that companies incorporated under the laws of Israel, whose shares are listed for trade on a stock exchange or have been offered to the
public in or outside of Israel, such as RADCOM, are required to adopt a policy governing the compensation of “Office Holders.”
The Companies Law defines the term “Office Holder” of a company to include a director, the chief executive officer, the chief
financial officer and any manager who is directly subordinate to the chief executive officer. Our shareholders approved a Compensation
Policy for Executive Officers (as amended, the “Compensation Policy”) initially in 2016. Under the Companies
Law, we are required to review, update (if necessary) and approve the Compensation Policy every three years. Most recently the Compensation
Policy was re-approved at our 2022 annual general meeting held in July 2022 (the “2022 AGM”) and further amended at
our 2023 AGM.
As part of a comprehensive
process conducted by our compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”) and the Board, as outlined herein under
Item 3 in this Proxy Statement, we propose to make certain changes to our Compensation Policy in order to allow us to provide our directors
and officers with competitive and incentivizing terms for service and in line with compensation provided by companies that are similar
to us in terms of size and industry. Accordingly:
|
● |
We propose to amend the cash compensation to our directors detailed in Section 20 of our Compensation Policy to reflect terms that we find to be beneficial to the Company and our shareholders; |
|
● |
We propose to amend Section 9.5 of our Compensation Policy, such that (i) the annual bonus for our Non-Sales Executive Officers (as defined in our Compensation Policy) other than the Chief Executive Officer, will be capped at eighty percent (80%) of such executive’s annual base salary, instead of the seventy-five percent (75%) currently provided under the Compensation Policy, and (ii) our Executive Officers (as defined in our Compensation Policy, other than our Chief Executive Officer) may be entitled to receive an additional bonus for Extraordinary Events (as such are defined in the Compensation Policy), and for fulfilling an additional temporal role in the Company, in an amount that shall not exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of such executive’s annual base salary, provided, however, that the overall aggregate bonus amount to which such Executive Officer shall be entitled to in any given year (annual and for Extraordinary Events) shall not exceed one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of his or her annual base salary in any given year; |
|
● |
We propose to amend Section 4.2 of the Compensation Policy, to align with the proposed change in Section 9.5 to the Compensation Policy described above, such that for Non-Sales Executives, the range of fixed compensation out of the total compensation shall be 20%-100% (instead of 25%-100%) and the range of variable compensation out of the total compensation shall be 0%-80% (instead of 0%-75%); |
|
● |
We propose to amend Section 13 of our Compensation Policy to allow the Company more flexibility in determining the acceleration of certain grants of equity awards; |
|
● |
We propose to add new Section 26 to our Compensation Policy to allow the Company to retain, under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations, a member of the Board for the provision of special services, in addition to and beyond the services such member is providing as a member of the Board; and |
|
● |
We propose to amend Section 7.1.1 of our Compensation Policy such that the number of vacation days that may be granted to our Executive Officers shall be twenty-four (24) instead of twenty-eight (28), in order to align with the number of vacation days customary in our peer companies. |
Our Compensation Committee
and Board approved the proposed amendments as they believe that it would serve as an appropriate long-term incentive to our management
team and directors to advance the objectives of the Company, including its long-term strategy, and therefore beneficial to our shareholders.
A marked copy of the Compensation Policy indicating the proposed amendments thereof is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
Required Approval
The affirmative vote of a
majority of the Ordinary Shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter is required for the approval of the proposed
amendments, provided that either (i) at least a majority of the Ordinary Shares voted on the matter by non-controlling shareholders or
by shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the resolution, are voted in favor of the matter or (ii) the total number of Ordinary
Shares of non-controlling shareholders or of shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the resolution voted against the matter
does not exceed two percent of the outstanding voting power in our Company.
The Companies Law requires
that each shareholder voting on this proposal indicate whether or not such person is a controlling shareholder or has a personal interest
in such resolution. Under the Companies Law, a “Controlling Shareholder” for this purpose is any shareholder who has
the ability to direct RADCOM’s actions (other than by means of being a director or office holder of the Company), including any
shareholder holding 25% or more of the voting rights if no other shareholder owns more than 50% of the voting rights in RADCOM. A shareholder
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 a company. “Means of control” is defined as any one of the following: (i) the
right to vote at a general meeting of a company, or (ii) the right to appoint directors of a company or its chief executive officer.
To the knowledge of
RADCOM there is no shareholder who is a Controlling Shareholder.
A “Personal Interest”
of a shareholder (i) includes a personal interest of any member of the shareholder’s family (or spouses thereof) or a personal
interest of a company with respect to which the shareholder (or such family member) serves as a director or chief executive officer, owns
at least 5% of our Ordinary Shares or has the right to appoint a director or chief executive officer, and (ii) excludes an interest
arising solely from the ownership of our Ordinary Shares. All of our directors and officers are deemed to have a Personal Interest in
this matter.
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 a non-controlling shareholder and is not a shareholder who has a Personal Interest in the resolution.
If you are a Controlling Shareholder (which, as indicated above, is highly unlikely) or a shareholder who has a Personal Interest in the
resolution, please notify Ms. Hadar Rahav, our Chief Financial Officer, at c/o 24 Raoul Wallenberg Street, Tel Aviv 69719, Israel; telephone:
+972-77-774-5060, or by email (hadar.rahav@radcom.com). If your shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or other
nominee and you are a Controlling Shareholder or a shareholder who has a Personal Interest in the resolution, you should notify the Company
as outlined above, and, in addition, you should advise your broker, bank or other nominee of that status, and they in turn should notify
the Company as described in the preceding sentence.
Proposed
Resolution
It is proposed that the following
resolution be adopted at the Meeting:
“RESOLVED that
the proposed amendments to the Company’s Compensation Policy, in the form attached as Exhibit A to the Proxy Statement
are hereby approved.”
The Board of Directors
recommends a vote “FOR” approval of the proposed resolution.
ITEM 3 – APPROVAL OF THE DIRECTORS AND
CHAIRMAN COMPENSATION SCHEME
The terms of the compensation
payable to our directors as of today were approved by our shareholders as follows: (i) the cash compensation payable to our directors
was set at our 2020 annual general meeting held in July 2020 (the “2020 AGM”) and determined that each director shall
be entitled to annual cash compensation in the amount of NIS 52,000 per year (approximately $13,713 based on the representative NIS/USD
exchange rate of NIS 3.792/$1.00 published by the Bank of Israel on August 1, 2024 (the “Exchange Rate”)), a per meeting
fee in the amount of NIS 2,000 (approximately $527 based on the Exchange Rate) for board and committee meetings (the “Per Meeting
Fee”) and 40% of the Per Meeting Fee for each resolution adopted in writing in lieu of a meeting, and (ii) the equity compensation
payable to our directors was set under the Long-Term Directors Equity Grant Scheme approved at our 2022 AGM, which determined that the
directors shall be entitled to receive such amount of restricted share units (“RSUs”), for a three-year period, reflecting
5,200 RSUs annually with a 36-month vesting period, vesting in monthly installments. The terms of the cash compensation outlined above
have not been changed or updated since the 2020 AGM.
The existing terms of compensation
of our directors apply to all of our non-executive directors other than Andre Fuetsch. In the past, the Company has not systematically
examined the chairman’s and directors’ compensation terms in comparison with relevant peer group companies. The Compensation
Committee engaged Aon’s Talent Solutions Practice, a division of Aon plc (“AON”), an international firm, specializing
in this field, to conduct a detailed market benchmarking assessment for directors’ and chairman’s compensation terms. The
peer group study is a compensation and benefit examination which included peer companies selected to provide an appropriate comparative
model, based on appropriate similar aspects taking into account a number of factors, including: market capitalization, type of industry,
location of listing of securities, level of revenues, number of employees, geographical considerations and other factors that were considered
by AON as relevant for comparison. Following due consideration of the type and value of the directors and chairman compensation, as well
as the full compensation packages, granted to directors serving in companies included in the study, our Compensation Committee and Board
examined and evaluated AON’s data and recommendations. Our Compensation Committee and Board have determined that the value of the
aggregate compensation currently paid to our directors, including the value of their equity awards, is below the 25th percentile
of total director compensation provided by our peer companies, as provided by the study AON prepared. Following
AON’s review and recommendations, our Compensation Committee and Board determined that it is in our best interests to align with
the compensation payable in our peer companies and provide our directors with compensation (composed of both cash compensation and grant
of RSUs) that will stand at the 62.5th percentile, and our chairman at the 64.5th percentile, as such was presented
to us by AONFollowing a review of the proposed terms described in the Original Proxy Materials
by our shareholders, some have reached out to members of our Board and management and discussions were held. Some of our shareholders
provided certain recommendations with respect to the appropriate compensation to be offered to our directors and chairman. As we are committed
to our shareholders and value their input, the management and Board conducted a further evaluation of both the shareholders’ and
AON’s recommendations and has determined that in efforts to balance the need to attract qualified individuals to our Board and shareholders’
feedback, it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to amend the Director and Chairman Compensation Scheme that
was originally presented in the proxy statement filed with the SEC on August 21, 2024, and propose the terms set forth below, reflecting
total compensation to non-executive directors (other than director with special expertise) that will stand at the 55th percentile
compared to the Company’s peers included in the AON study, instead of the 62.5th percentile recommended by AON.
Based on AON’s recommendation,
our Compensation Committee and the Board still believe that it is in the best interests of
the Company to transition to an annual retainer-based compensation model without any per-meeting compensation, rather than an annual retainer
plus per-meeting compensation model, which strikes the right balance between overall cash and equity relative to market, as is done by
the majority of the peer companies included in AON’s study.
When considering the
proposed Directors and Chairman Compensation Scheme (as defined below), our Compensation Committee and Board analyzed all factors
and considerations required under our Compensation Policy and the Companies Law, including the responsibilities and duties of our
directors, the estimation of their expected contribution and the importance of our directors to the future growth and success
of the Company. Our Compensation Committee and Board believe that the Directors and Chairman Compensation Scheme as
amended, which reflects an appropriate
and reasonable balance between the customary compensation percentile levels as
were presented andrecommended to us by AON and the feedback of certain major
shareholders, is in the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders, as: (i) the Company competes on qualified individuals to serve on its Board, and therefore needs to provide them with
an adequate compensation package, which is aligned with common practices implemented by our peers, according to the AON study; (ii)
the Company wishes to further attract international directors which requires a competitive and attractive compensation that will
attract directors worldwide to serve on our Board and will be best suited to contribute and promote our Company; (iii) the Directors
and Chairman Compensation Scheme, as amended, will provide an adequate recognition for
the time, attention and expertise required by our directors; and (iv) the Directors and Chairman Compensation Scheme,
as amended, has a long-term incentive value while taking into account the interests of the Company’s shareholders
and their dilution level.
Under the Companies Law, arrangements
regarding the compensation of a director in a public company require the approval of such company’s compensation committee, board
of directors and shareholders, in that order. The Directors and Chairman Compensation Scheme described below, was approved by our Compensation
Committee and Board, and they recommend our shareholders to approve it as well. In making their determination, each of our Compensation
Committee and Board determined that, subject to the shareholders’ approval of the proposed amendments to our Compensation Policy,
as set forth under Item 2 in this Proxy Statement, the Directors and Chairman Compensation Scheme is within the limitations set forth
in our Compensation Policy, as proposed to be amended. Our Compensation Committee and Board approved the Directors and Chairman Compensation
Scheme as they believe that the proposed compensation would serve as an appropriate long-term retention and performance incentive to advance
the objectives of the Company, including its long-term strategy.
At the Meeting, you will be
asked to approve, subject to and in accordance with the approval of the amendments to our Compensation Policy as proposed under Item 2
to this Proxy Statement, a scheme for our directors and Chairman compensation (the “Directors and Chairman Compensation Scheme”)
which is composed of four parts, each one of them to be approved separately, as follows:
A. Director Cash Compensation
We propose to pay our directors
and our non-executive chairman, if such is appointed, commencing as of the date of this Meeting, an annual retainer cash compensation
in the amount of $6154,000.
We propose to pay our directors
who hold special expertise, as approved by the Board, commencing as of the date of this Meeting, an annual retainer cash compensation
in the amount of $70,000 (the “Special Expertise Director Cash Compensation”) instead of an annual retainer cash of
$52,000 and a per meeting fee in the amount of $2,000, which reflected the minimum compensation expected for directors who hold special
expertise. Our Board re-approved that Mr. Andre Fuetsch holds special expertise and therefore is entitled to the Special Expertise Director
Cash Compensation.
We propose to pay for
directors who are serving as members of our committees, an additional fee as follows:
|
o |
The chairman of our audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) shall receive, an annual retainer cash compensation of $2218,000. |
|
o |
A member of our Audit Committee shall receive an annual retainer cash compensation of $119,000. |
|
● |
Compensation Committee – |
|
o |
The chairman of our Compensation Committee shall receive an annual retainer cash compensation of $1614,000. |
|
o |
A member of our Compensation Committee shall receive an annual retainer cash compensation of $87,000. |
All amounts above shall be
paid on a quarterly basis and are referred to as the “Member Cash Compensation”. In the event that a director only
serves (as a director and/or in any of the roles above) for a part of the year rather than completing a full-year term, then the compensation
above shall be adjusted proportionally.
The existing arrangements
previously approved by our shareholders for the Executive Chairman will continue to apply without change.
B. Director Equity Compensation
We propose to grant our directors
(other than our chairman) a grant reflecting 96,000
RSUs annually, which forms a minor increase from the 5,200 RSUs currently granted to our directors
per annum, and a grant reflecting 8,000 options to purchase Ordinary Shares (“Options”) annually, both
for the term for which such director is appointed, elected or re-elected (or,
in the case of currently serving Directors not standing for election, from the date of the Meeting).,
where the Director GSuch grants
vests in equal monthly installments commencing on the date of the election
or re-election at the annual general Mmeeting,
or appointment, if earlier (or, in the case of currently serving Directors not standing for election,
from the date of the Meeting). The grant of Options in addition to RSUs was added in order to better align the directors’ interests
with those of the Company and the Company’s future performance. Any unvested RSUs and
Options shall expire on the date a director ceases to serve as such for whatever reason (subject to the acceleration provisions
set forth herein), and, with respect to the Options, Options vested until the date such director
ceases to serve as such shall be exercisable for a period of 180 days thereafter, subject to the limitations set forth in the Company’s
2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The exercise price of the Options shall be the average of the closing
price of the Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq in the 30 days prior to the annual general meeting in question, or the appointment, if earlier.
In addition, each of the two newly appointed directors listed in Item 1 above, shall receive a one-time grant of 1,300
590 fully vested RSUs which represents the amount of RSUs they would
have been entitled to for the three months period
of service from their appointment until the Meeting according to the 2022 AGM resolutions. The above shall be referred to
as the “General Director Grant”.
We
propose to continue to grant our directors who hold special expertise, as approved by the Board (“Special Expertise
Directors”), a grant reflecting 7,800 RSUs annually, as we have done before, and, in addition, a grant reflecting 3,200
Options annually, both for the term for which such Special Expertise Director is appointed, elected or re-elected (or, in the case
of currently serving Director with Special Expertise, from the date of the Meeting)., where
the Such RSUs and Options will vest in equal monthly installments commencing on the date of the election or
re-election at the annual general meeting, or appointment, if earlier. The other terms governing the RSUs and Options shall be
substantially identical to the terms of the General Director Grant (the “Special Expertise Director Equity
Grant”, and together with the General Director Grant, the “Director Grant”). Our Board re-approved that
Mr. Andre Fuetsch holds special expertise and therefore is entitled to the Special Expertise Director Equity Grant.
C. Chairman Equity Compensation
We propose to grant our chairman
of the Board (whether a non-executive or to an executive chairman) a grant reflecting 27,00015,840
RSUs and 21,120 Options annually for the term for which the chairman is appointed,
where such grants the Chairman Grant
vests in equal monthly installments commencing on the date of the Meeting
annual general meeting in question, or the appointment, if earlier. The
terms of the Options shall be identical to the Options granted under the General Director Grant. The Chairman Grant reflects
such a number of RSUs and Options that is 3 2.64
times the General Director Grant, instead of such
number of RSUs and Options that is 3 times the General Director Grant, as was done in the past, reflecting a 12% discount,
which, together with the cash compensation stands at the 64.5th percentile for non-executive chairman as such was presented
to us by AON. This is the amount recommended by our Compensation Committee and the Board in order (i) to
reflect to remain consistent with the Company’s past practices of chairman receiving
3 times the amount of RSUs granted to a director (ii) to remain consistent with the Company’s past practices of non executive chairman
receiving the same cash compensation granted to a director, and (iii) AON’s support of the Board recommendation
and decision to increased RSU equity
grant versus offering a premium cash amount to a non-executive chairman as customary by companies in the peer group study
while adding options in order to better align the chairman’s interests with those of the Company
and the Company’s future performance, and (ii) to reflect the recommendations of certain shareholders with respect to the equity
compensation to our chairman of the Board.
Any unvested RSUs and
Options shall expire on the date the chairman ceases to serve as a chairman (subject to the acceleration provisions set forth
herein). In case a director who is not the chairman is appointed as chairman, or a chairman ceases to act as such but remains a director,
appropriate adjustments (whether issuance of additional RSUs and Options or expiration of
RSUs and Options) shall be made so the arrangements above are reflected in such chairman or
director equity compensation. The existing arrangements previously approved by our shareholders for the Executive Chairman will continue
to apply without change. If a director is appointed as our chairman, then such chairman shall receive an additional number of RSUs and
Options so that such chairman has, in the aggregate, 2715,000
840 RSUs and 21,120 Options for
each year of expected service as a chairman, according to the terms set forth above. The above grants,
as well as any related conditions, shall be referred to as the “Chairman Grant”.
D. Acceleration of Equity Compensation
The Director Grant and the
Chairman Grant shall automatically vest in full upon (i) the occurrence of a change of control, as such term is referred to in the Compensation
Policy, where such person ceases to serve as a director, or (ii) upon such director’s or chairman’s, as applicable, disability
or death.
Required Approval
The approval of the Directors
and Chairman Compensation Scheme, subject to the approval of the amendments to our Compensation Policy set forth in Item 2 above, requires
the affirmative vote of a majority of the Ordinary Shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on such matter, where the vote will
be made separately on each component of the Directors and Chairman Compensation Scheme, as set forth below.
Proposed Resolutions
It is proposed that the following
resolutions be adopted at the Meeting (subject to the approval of the amendments to the Compensation Policy as proposed in Item 2 above),
as four separate resolutions:
“RESOLVED that
the Member Cash Compensation as outlined under Item 3 Part A, be and hereby is approved.”
“RESOLVED that
the Director Grant as outlined under Item 3 Part B, be and hereby is approved.”
“RESOLVED that
the Chairman Grant as outlined under Item 3 Part C, be and hereby is approved.”
“RESOLVED that
the acceleration provisions for the Director Grant and the Chairman Grant, as outlined under Item 3 Part D, be and hereby are approved.”
