The Company had outstanding, on May 22, 2017, 47,903,691 Ordinary Shares. This number does not include a total, as at that date, of 4,463,573 Ordinary Shares that
were either subject to outstanding equity awards granted pursuant to equity remuneration plans of the Company or were available for grant pursuant to such plans, of which: 707,147 were subject to outstanding options (456,657 of which had vested);
947,037 were subject to outstanding and unvested RSUs (as defined below); and 2,782,389 remained available for future equity awards pursuant to such plans, comprised of:
|
|
(a)
|
696,754 Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to options awarded under the Equity Remuneration Plan for Key Employees of Orbotech Ltd. and its Affiliates and Subsidiaries
(as Amended and Restated, 2005) (the
2000 Plan
), of which 456,657 had vested.
|
|
(b)
|
254,944 Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to equity awards under the 2010 Equity-Based Incentive Plan (the
2010 Plan
), of which:
|
|
(i)
|
132,439 were subject to outstanding and unvested RSUs; and
|
|
(ii)
|
122,505 remained available for future equity awards pursuant to the 2010 Plan; and
|
|
(c)
|
3,484,875 Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to equity awards under the 2015 Equity-Based Incentive Plan (the
2015 Plan
), of which:
|
|
(i)
|
10,393 were subject to outstanding options (none of which had vested)
|
|
(ii)
|
814,598 were subject to outstanding and unvested RSUs; and
|
|
(iii)
|
2,659,884 remained available for future equity awards pursuant to the 2015 Plan.
|
The above number of Ordinary Shares outstanding also does not include a total of 5,410,773 Ordinary Shares held at that date as treasury shares, virtually all of which were repurchased by the Company or
its subsidiaries, of which: (a) 1,993,918 were owned by the Company as dormant shares under Israeli law and, for so long as they are owned by the Company, confer no rights and, accordingly, are neither eligible to participate in or receive any
future dividends which may be paid to shareholders of the Company nor entitled to participate in, be voted at or be counted as part of the quorum for, any meetings of shareholders of the Company; and (b) 3,416,855 were owned by one or more
subsidiaries of the Company and, for so long as they are owned by a subsidiary of the Company, confer no voting rights and, accordingly, are not entitled to participate in, be voted at or be counted as part of the quorum for, any meetings of
shareholders of the Company.

Because the Company uses the above number of Ordinary Shares outstanding as the calculation
base, the percentage of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned for each listed person or entity may differ from the percentage, if any, in the reports filed by such person or entity with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC
).
(2)
|
As of May 11, 2017, based on a report filed with the SEC on May 19, 2017. The report indicated sole voting and dispositive power as to none of such Ordinary
Shares, and shared voting and dispositive power as to 2,631,909 Ordinary Shares, with his wife, Dr. Judith Richter. Dr. Jacob Richter serves as a member of the Board. Dr. Jacob Richter and Yochai Richter, the Active Chairman of the
Board, are brothers.

The term Office Holder as defined in the Companies Law includes a general manager, chief executive officer, executive vice president, vice president, any
other person fulfilling or assuming any of the foregoing positions without regard to such persons title, as well as a director, or a manager directly subordinate to the general manager or the chief executive officer. In addition to the 11
members of the Board, the Company considers 12 other individuals to be Office Holders as at May 22, 2017.
|
(4)
|
Includes 96,303 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of options or the vesting of RSUs referred to in footnote (1) above which had either vested as of, or
will vest within 60 days from, May 22, 2017. The percentage of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned is calculated in accordance with Rule
13d-3(d)
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
Exchange Act
).

ITEMS 1 and 2
Election of Directors
All of the directors of the Company (other than external directors whose terms are determined in accordance with applicable law) are
elected on an annual basis to hold office until the end of the next annual general meeting of shareholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified or until any such directors appointment terminates as provided for under
applicable law or in the Articles. The external directors currently serve three year terms as required by Israeli law and are elected according to the Companies Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
The Articles provide that the minimum number of directors is three and the maximum number is eleven. As at May 22, 2017, the Board
was comprised of 11 members, three of whom were elected as external directors under the provisions of the Companies Law. The terms of office of two of these external directors, Dr. Michael Anghel and Mr. Joseph Tenne, will expire on
July 10, 2017, and Dr. Anghel and Mr. Tenne are nominees for
re-election
as external directors at the Meeting, as discussed below.
In accordance with the Articles, any vacancies on the Board, including unfilled positions, may be filled by a resolution adopted by a
majority of the directors then in office, and each director chosen in this manner would hold office until the next annual general meeting of shareholders (or until the earlier termination of his or her appointment as provided for in the Companies
Law or the Articles).
Under the Companies Law and regulations promulgated thereunder, Israeli public companies are generally
required to have on their board of directors at least two external directors meeting certain independence criteria, all as provided under Israeli law. However, companies whose shares are traded on specified U.S. stock exchanges, including the Nasdaq
Global Select Market, and which do not have a controlling shareholder, may (but are not required to) elect to: (i) opt out of the requirement to maintain external directors; or, alternatively; (ii) retain external directors but opt out of
the composition requirements under the Companies Law with respect to either or both of the audit and compensation committees; in each case, provided they meet the requirements of U.S. law and relevant stock exchange rules as applicable to domestic
U.S. issuers with respect to independent directors and the composition of audit and compensation committees. After considering this matter, the Board has decided not to elect to opt out of any such requirements at this time and to maintain the
current regime.
External directors are elected for a term of three years at the general meeting of shareholders by a
disinterested majority of the shareholders (and cannot be appointed by the Board), and may generally be
re-elected
for two additional terms of three years each; each committee of a companys board of
directors that has the authority to exercise powers of the board of directors must include at least one external director, and its audit committee and remuneration committee, must include all external directors. Under regulations promulgated
pursuant to the Companies Law, companies, such as the Company, whose shares are listed on specific exchanges outside of Israeli, including the Nasdaq Global Select Market, may elect external directors for additional terms that do not exceed three
years each, beyond the three three-year terms generally applicable, provided that, if an external director is being
re-elected
for an additional term or terms beyond the three three-year terms: (i) the
audit committee and board of directors must determine that, in light of the external directors expertise and special contribution to the board of directors and its committees, the
re-election
for an
additional term is to the companys benefit; (ii) the external director must be
re-elected
by the majority of shareholders required for the initial appointment of an external director and subject to
the terms specified in the Companies Law; and (iii) the term during which the nominee has served as an external director and the reasons given by the audit committee and board of directors for extending his or her term of office must be
presented to the shareholders prior to their approval.
Among other requirements, a person may not be elected as an external
director if such person, his or her relative, partner, employer, anyone to whom he or she is directly or indirectly subordinate, or any entity under his or her control, has or had, on or within the two years preceding the date of his or her
election, any affiliation (as defined in the Companies Law) with the company, any controlling shareholder of the company, a relative of a
6
controlling shareholder, or any entity controlled by the company or by a controlling shareholder of the company; and if the company has no controlling shareholder or a shareholder holding 25% or
more of the companys voting rights, also with the chairman of the board of directors, the chief executive officer or the most senior financial officer of the company, or with a shareholder holding 5% or more of the outstanding shares or voting
rights of the company.
Pursuant to the Companies Law, an external director is required to have either financial and
accounting expertise or professional qualifications, according to criteria set forth under Israeli law, and generally, at least one external director is required to have financial and accounting expertise. In addition, the boards of directors of
publicly traded companies are required to make a determination as to the minimum number of directors who must have financial and accounting expertise based, among other things, on the companys size and the volume and complexity of its
activities. The Board has determined that the minimum number of directors with financial and accounting expertise, in addition to the external director or directors who have or may have such expertise, will be one, and that Mr. Dan Falk
qualifies as such.
In addition to the external directors, a company may classify additional directors who meet the same
non-affiliation
criteria as external directors, and who have not served as directors of the company for more than nine consecutive years, as independent directors under the Companies Law. For these
purposes, ceasing to serve as a director for a period of two years or less would not be deemed to sever the consecutive nature of such directors service. A company, such as the Company, whose shares are listed for trading on specified
exchanges outside of Israel, including the Nasdaq Global Market and the Nasdaq Global Select Market, may also classify directors who qualify as independent directors under the relevant
non-Israeli
rules
relating to independence standards and who meet certain
non-affiliation
criteria, as independent directors under the Companies Law, all as provided under regulations promulgated under the Companies
Law. The Company has classified Mr. Dan Falk as an independent director under the Companies Law.
External directors and
independent directors may receive compensation solely as provided for in the Companies Law and regulations promulgated pursuant thereto governing the terms of compensation payable to external directors (the
Compensation
Regulations
). In addition, the Companies Law includes specific provisions with respect to the manner in which external directors and independent directors may be dismissed from office. Following termination of service, external directors
and independent directors and their relatives are subject to certain restrictions with respect to receipt of benefits, service as an Office Holder, employment and provision of professional services to the company or a controlling shareholder thereof
(or any entity controlled by a controlling shareholder).
Dr. Michael Anghel, Mr. Avner Hermoni and Mr. Joseph
Tenne currently serve as external directors under the applicable provisions of the Companies Law. Dr. Anghel has previously been elected as an external director for three consecutive terms, on September 18, 2008, June 26, 2011 and
July 10, 2014. His third consecutive term of office, and the term of office of Mr. Tenne, are due to expire on July 10, 2017. Following the recommendation of the Nominating Committee of the Board (the
Nominating
Committee
) and, with respect to Dr. Anghel, following the determination of the Audit Committee of the Board (the
Audit Committee
) and of the Board that in light of Dr. Anghels expertise and special
contribution to the Board and its committees his
re-election
for an additional term is to the Companys benefit, the Board is recommending that at the Meeting, shareholders approve the
re-election
of Dr. Anghel and of Mr. Tenne as external directors each for a term of three years.
In addition, following the recommendation of the Nominating Committee, the Board is recommending that at the Meeting, shareholders approve the
re-election
as
directors of all of the eight
non-external
directors currently in office: Mr. Yochai Richter, Mrs. Yehudit Bronicki, Mr. Dan Falk, Mr. Miron Kenneth, Dr. Jacob Richter,
Mr. Eliezer Tokman, Prof. Shimon Ullman and Mr. Arie Weisberg, each for a term of approximately one year expiring at the Companys annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2018.
In accordance with Israeli law, a nominee for service as a director must submit a declaration to the Company, prior to his or her
election, specifying that he or she has the requisite qualifications to serve as a
7
director, independent director or external director, as applicable, and the ability to devote the appropriate time to performing his or her duties as such. All nominees for election as directors
at the Meeting have declared in writing that they possess the requisite skills and expertise, as well as sufficient time, to perform their duties as a director of the Company.
Set forth below is information, as at May 22, 2017, concerning all directors of the Company and nominees for election as directors at the Meeting.

Committees of the Board
The Articles provide that the Board may delegate any, or all, of its powers to one or more committees of the Board, and may entrust to and confer upon a managing director, general manager, chief executive
officer and/or president (or any similar function with a different title) such of its powers as it deems appropriate. However, the Companies Law provides that certain powers and authorities (for example, the power to approve the financial
statements) may not be delegated and may be exercised only by the Board. In addition, the Companies Law requires public companies such as the Company to appoint an audit committee and a remuneration committee.
The
Companies Law requires public companies to appoint an audit committee comprised of at least three directors. The audit committee must include all of the external directors (one of whom shall serve as the chairman of the committee), must be comprised
of a majority of independent directors under the Companies Law and may not include certain directors. Generally, any person who is not entitled to be a member of the audit committee may not attend the audit committees meetings. Certain
companies whose shares are traded on specified U.S. stock exchanges may elect to opt out of these composition requirements; however, after considering this matter, the Company has decided not to elect to opt out of any such requirements at this time
and to maintain the current regime.
The responsibilities of the Companys Audit Committee include, among other things:
(a) identifying flaws in the management of the Companys business, making recommendations to the Board as to how to correct them and providing for arrangements regarding employee complaints with respect thereto; (b) reviewing and
considering certain related party transactions and certain actions involving conflicts of interest; (c) reviewing the internal auditors performance and approving the internal auditors work plan and examining the Companys
internal control structure and processes; (d) examining the external auditors scope of work as well as the external auditors fees and providing its recommendations to the appropriate corporate organ; and (e) overseeing the
accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company. In carrying out its duties, the Audit Committee meets with management at least once in each fiscal quarter at which time, among other things, it reviews, and either approves or
disapproves, the financial results of the Company for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter and conveys its conclusions in this regard to the Board. The Companys external and internal auditors also report regularly to the Audit Committee at
its meetings, and the Audit Committee discusses with the Companys external auditors the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of disclosures in the
Companys financial statements, as and when it deems it appropriate to do so. The Audit Committee also monitors generally the services provided by the Companys external auditors to ensure their independence, and reviews all audit and
non-audit
services provided by them.
Dr. Michael Anghel, Mr. Dan Falk,
Mr. Avner Hermoni and Mr. Joseph Tenne are the current members of the Audit Committee, with Dr. Anghel serving as its chairman. Each of them is an independent director in accordance with the Nasdaq listing standards and in
accordance with the Companies Law. In addition, Mr. Falk has been designated as the Audit Committee Financial Expert under applicable rules and regulations of the SEC.
(ii)
|
Remuneration Committee
|
The Companies Law requires public companies to appoint a remuneration committee comprised of at least three directors. The remuneration
committee must include all of the external directors, one of whom shall serve as the chairman of the committee, and may not include certain directors. All other members of the committee, who are not external directors, must be directors who receive
compensation that is in compliance with the Companies Law and the Compensation Regulations. Generally, any person who is not entitled to be a member of the remuneration committee may not attend the remuneration committees meetings. Certain
companies whose shares are traded on specified U.S. stock exchanges may elect to opt out of these composition requirements; however, after considering this matter, the Company has decided not to elect to opt out of any such requirements at this time
and to maintain the current regime.
12
The responsibilities of the remuneration committee under the Companies Law include:
(i) making recommendations to the board of directors with respect to the approval of the compensation policy and any extensions thereto; (ii) periodically reviewing the implementation of the compensation policy and providing the board of
directors with recommendations with respect to any amendments or updates thereto; (iii) reviewing and resolving whether or not to approve arrangements with respect to the Terms of Office and Employment of Office Holders (as defined below); and
(iv) resolving whether or not to exempt a transaction with a candidate for chief executive officer from shareholder approval.
The Remuneration Committee also oversees the administration of the Companys various compensation plans and arrangements, in particular, the incentive compensation, special bonus and equity-based
plans of the Company (and to the extent appropriate, the subsidiaries of the Company) and assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities relating to the compensation of directors, the chief executive officer and other Office Holders of the
Company. In carrying out these duties, the Remuneration Committee meets on an ad hoc basis (usually several times in each fiscal year). Under the Companies Law, the Remuneration Committee may need to seek the approval of the Board and the
shareholders for certain compensation decisions as described above.
Dr. Michael Anghel, Mr. Dan Falk,
Mr. Avner Hermoni, Mr. Joseph Tenne and Mr. Eliezer Tokman are the current members of the Remuneration Committee, with Dr. Anghel serving as its chairman. Each of them is an independent director in accordance with the
Nasdaq listing standards.
(iii)
|
Nominating Committee
|
The role of the Nominating Committee is to identify individuals qualified to become directors, to recommend such individuals for
nomination for election as directors and to make recommendations to the Board concerning committee appointments. In undertaking this task, the Nominating Committee takes into account the composition requirements and qualification criteria set forth
in the Companies Law and the Nasdaq listing standards, and determines the other criteria, objectives and procedures for selecting members of the Board and committee members, including factors such as independence, diversity, age, integrity, skills,
expertise, breadth of experience, knowledge about the Companys business or industry and willingness to devote adequate time and effort to the responsibilities of the Board in the context of the existing composition and needs of the Board and
its committees. Membership of the Nominating Committee is limited to independent directors in accordance with the Nasdaq listing standards who meet the composition requirements of the Companies Law, as in effect from time to time.
However, under the Companies Law, the Company is not required to have an independent nominating committee as would be required under Nasdaq rules and it may in the future opt to appoint members who do not meet the Nasdaq independence standards.
Mr. Dan Falk, Mr. Avner Hermoni and Prof. Shimon Ullman are the current members of the Nominating Committee, with
Mr. Falk serving as its chairman. Each of them is an independent director in accordance with the Nasdaq listing standards.
Executive Sessions
At
least twice per annum the independent directors of the Company (in accordance with the Nasdaq listing standards) meet in executive sessions, which no other persons have the right to attend. These meetings are intended to
provide a forum in which the Companys independent directors can discuss any issues that they consider relevant in their capacity as such.
Board and Committee Meeting Attendance
Since the 2016 annual general meeting of shareholders (the
2016 AGM
), each director has attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and its committees on which he or she served.

14
(a) Approval Required for Directors Compensation
The Company first adopted a Compensation Policy in 2013. The Companys current Compensation Policy was approved by the Board in 2016,
after considering the recommendations of the Remuneration Committee, and by the Companys shareholders at the 2016 AGM.
Pursuant to Israeli law, any arrangement between the Company and its directors as to their terms of office and employment, including
exemption and release of the director from liability for breach of his or her duty of care to the Company, an undertaking to indemnify the director, post factum indemnification or insurance; any grant, payment, remuneration, compensation, or other
benefit provided in connection with termination of service; and any benefit, other payment or undertaking to provide any payment as aforesaid (
Terms of Office and Employment
), must generally be consistent with the Compensation
Policy and generally requires the approval of the Remuneration Committee, the Board and the shareholders. As discussed above, the Companies Law and the Compensation Regulations provide that the compensation payable to external directors and
independent directors under the Companies Law is subject to certain further limitations.
(b) Remuneration
of the Active Chairman of the Board
Yochai Richter has an employment agreement with the Company pursuant to which he
currently serves as Active Chairman of the Board. The agreement is terminable by Mr. Richter on 60 days notice and by the Company on 30 days notice as required by law. Upon termination, Mr. Richter is entitled to a lump sum
payment equal to twelve times his monthly salary in effect at the time of termination plus certain benefits. He is also entitled to receive severance pay in cash equal to 150% of his last monthly salary payment times the number of years employed by
the Company (commencing with his employment by Orbot in 1982) if he resigns and 200% of such payment times the number of years employed if the Company terminates the agreement other than for cause.
The Audit Committee, the Board and the shareholders have approved the terms of Mr. Richters continued employment with the
Company, including a monthly salary of $33,000 and an annual bonus equivalent to 1% of the net annual profit of the Company. A bonus of approximately $795,000 was paid to Mr. Richter in respect of 2016. Pursuant to shareholder approval,
commencing from the 2010 annual general meeting of shareholders, Mr. Richter became eligible to participate in the Directors Annual Equity Award Plan and will, for as long as he remains the Chairman of the Board or an eligible
director (as defined in the Directors Annual Equity Award Plan), continue to do so.
The above terms of
Mr. Richters employment and service were approved prior to the time the Company first became required to adopt a Compensation Policy. Any change to the terms described above will be subject to the approval process and other conditions set
forth in the Companies Law.
(c) Other Directors Remuneration
Under arrangements previously approved by the Audit Committee, the Board and the shareholders of the Company, and
re-approved
by the Remuneration Committee, the Board and the shareholders with the approval of the initial Compensation Policy at the 2013 annual general meeting of shareholders, each of the members of the Board who
is not, or will in the future cease to be, an employee of the Company, including external directors, is remunerated, as of September 2008, as follows: (i) an annual payment to each such director of NIS 65,000 plus applicable value added tax
(
VAT
); and (ii) participation compensation to each such director of NIS 2,500 plus VAT for every meeting of the Board or any committee thereof that the director attends. In addition: (iii) the annual payment and the
participation compensation of all such directors will be adjusted annually to reflect changes in the Israeli Consumer Price Index in the manner provided in the Compensation Regulations; (iv) in the event that a director participates in a
meeting by means of communication pursuant to Section 101 of the Companies Law, the Company shall pay 60% of the participation compensation; (v) in the event a resolution is
15
adopted by the Board without a meeting pursuant to Section 103 of the Companies Law, the Company shall pay 50% of the participation compensation; and (vi) the annual payment shall be
paid in four equal installments, and the participation compensation shall be remitted to the directors on a quarterly basis, in each case at the beginning of each calendar quarter with respect to the previous quarter, all as provided for in the
Compensation Regulations. On May 22, 2017, after adjustment as described in (iii) above, the annual payment to each
non-employee
director described in (i) above stood at NIS 74,360
(approximately $20,760); and the meeting participation compensation to each
non-employee
director stood at NIS 2,860 (approximately $800).
On July 14, 2005, the shareholders of the Company approved a directors equity remuneration plan for certain directors,
including external directors, of the Company (the
Directors Annual Equity Award Plan
), which was amended with shareholder approval at the 2010 and 2015 annual general meetings of shareholders. Under the Directors Annual Equity
Award Plan, each director who is in office immediately after any annual general meeting of shareholders, including external directors and including directors who are employees of the Company, but not including the Chief Executive Officer (even if a
director), in addition to the existing annual and per meeting fees, will be granted equity awards, comprised of
Restricted Shares
(which are Ordinary Shares awarded subject to certain transfer restrictions, forfeiture conditions
and/or other terms and conditions) or
RSU
s (which are awards representing an unfunded and unsecured promise to deliver Ordinary Shares, cash, other securities or other property in accordance with certain terms and conditions),
with an aggregate grant-date value equal to the lesser of $75,000 and the value of 6,250 Restricted Shares with respect to the Chairman of the Board, and with an aggregate grant-date value equal to the lesser of $60,000 and the value of 5,000
Restricted Shares with respect to each other eligible director under the Directors Annual Equity Award Plan. There is no separate reserve of shares for purposes of the Directors Annual Equity Award Plan and awards will be granted to the extent that
there are sufficient Ordinary Shares reserved under any applicable equity remuneration plan of the Company. All equity-based remuneration awarded under the Directors Annual Equity Award Plan has been or will be granted as part of, and out of
Ordinary Shares available for grant under, the 2000 Plan (prior to its expiration), the 2010 Plan and/or the 2015 Plan. All equity awards under the Directors Annual Equity Award Plan vest in full on May 31 of the calendar year following the
year in which they are granted and are otherwise generally subject to the terms of the applicable Company equity plan under which they are awarded.
Should a director not serve until the end of his or her term for any reason (including due to death or disability) or if a director ceases to be an eligible director under the Directors Annual
Equity Award Plan but remains a director, then any unvested Restricted Shares or RSUs held by such director at the time of ceasing to so serve will expire and be cancelled and forfeited immediately.
Options previously awarded and still outstanding under the Directors Annual Equity Award Plan expire no later than seven years after the
date on which they were granted, subject to earlier expiration if, at any annual general meeting of shareholders prior to the expiration of such seven-year period, a directors term expires and he or she is not
re-elected.
In such case, options expire upon the last to occur of: (i) 90 days following that annual general meeting of shareholders; (ii) three years from date of grant; and (iii) the expiration of
such period as is prescribed in the 2000 Plan in circumstances of retirement after the age of 60. Should an eligible director not serve until the end of his or her term for any other reason, apart from death or disability, in which case the
provisions of the applicable Company equity remuneration plan will apply with respect to vesting and expiration of options, any unvested or unexercised options will expire and be cancelled and forfeited immediately. In the event a director ceases to
be an eligible director but remains a director: (i) unvested options will expire and be cancelled and forfeited at such time; and (ii) vested options will continue to be exercisable and will expire as described above.
The Company has previously approved, and
re-approved
with the approval of the initial
Compensation Policy, and consistent therewith, and the Compensation Policy provides, that external directors remuneration will be relative to that of other directors, as such term is defined in the Compensation Regulations, so
that, in the event that, during their term as external directors, the Company increases the remuneration payable, whether the annual payment or the participation compensation, to any other directors, or grants additional equity-based
16
compensation to other directors, each external director will receive, without further approval, additional remuneration, so that his or her annual compensation and/or compensation for
participation in meetings, as the case may be, will be equivalent to the average compensation payable to such other directors as annual payment or as participation compensation, respectively, or be granted additional equity-based
compensation as is equal to the average additional equity-based compensation being granted to such other directors and on substantially similar terms, as applicable. In addition, pursuant to the Compensation Regulations, the Company may
also change the amount or form of remuneration payable to its then-serving external directors at the time of appointment of an additional external director, provided however that such change is to the benefit of the then-serving external directors.
The nominees for directors, including the nominees for external directors, will, if elected, receive remuneration as
described above (including with respect to the nominees for external directors, remuneration that is relative to that of other directors) and will, if elected, also participate in the Directors Annual Equity Award Plan and receive
equity-based compensation as eligible directors thereunder, as described above.
(d) Equity Awards to Directors

All of the above option awards are subject to the terms of the 2000 Plan and were made as part of the
Directors Annual Equity Award Plan. For information concerning the method of calculation of the number of
17
Ordinary Shares subject to RSUs or Restricted Shares awarded to directors under the Directors Annual Equity Award Plan, seeOther Directors Remuneration. On May 22, 2017, the
closing price of the Ordinary Shares as reported by Nasdaq was $34.50.
During 2016, 2,732 RSUs were awarded to the Active
Chairman of the Board and 2,185 RSUs were awarded to each other director who was in office immediately after the 2016 annual general meeting of shareholders, including the external directors.
In addition, during 2016: (i) no options to purchase Ordinary Shares held by directors were cancelled; (ii) options to purchase a
total of 80,084 Ordinary Shares held by directors were exercised; and (iii) a total of 35,190 RSUs held by directors (all of which were awarded during 2015) vested. During the period from January 1, 2017 to May 22, 2017: (i) options
to purchase a total of 8,856 Ordinary Shares were exercised by directors; (ii) no options to purchase Ordinary Shares held by any directors were cancelled; and (iii) no RSUs held by directors vested. A total of 24,582 RSUs held by
directors (all of which were awarded during 2016) are scheduled to vest in full on May 31, 2017.
Pursuant to
Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance (New Version), 1961 (the
Tax Ordinance
) (and, with respect to RSUs, to a tax ruling the Company has received from the Israel Tax Authority) and to an election made by the
Company thereunder and consistent with the Compensation Policy, gains derived by employees (which term includes directors) in Israel arising from the sale of Restricted Shares, shares delivered in settlement of RSUs or acquired pursuant to the
exercise of options granted to them through a trustee under Section 102 of the Tax Ordinance after January 1, 2003, will generally be subject to a flat capital gains tax rate of 25%, although these gains may also include a salary income
component which would be subject to income tax at the grantees marginal tax rate. As a result of this election under Section 102, the Company will not, in the case of equity awards made on or after January 1, 2003, be allowed to
claim as an expense for tax purposes in Israel the amounts credited to the employee as capital gains, although it will generally be entitled to do so in respect of the income component of such awards (if any) which is subject to income tax at the
grantees marginal tax rate, when the related tax is paid by the employee. Pursuant to shareholder approval, and consistent with the Compensation Policy, each of the equity awards granted to directors specified in the table above, as well as
any other equity awards which may in the future be awarded by the Company to directors of the Company through a trustee under the 2000, 2010 or 2015 Plans (whether as part of the Directors Annual Equity Award Plan or otherwise), will benefit from
the above-described capital gains tax treatment (other than equity awards to Mr. Yochai Richter and Dr. Jacob Richter granted during years in which their combined holdings exceed a certain percentage, as determined pursuant to relevant
Israeli tax laws).
The salary income component of an equity award consists of the excess, if any, of the average price of the
Ordinary Shares during the
30-day
period immediately prior to the grant date over the exercise price of options awarded or the purchase price of Restricted Shares or RSUs granted (as the case may be). Because
options under the Companys equity plans are generally awarded at the market price of the Ordinary Shares on the grant date, the salary income component of options has historically been relatively small. By contrast, because RSUs and Restricted
Shares have been issued at substantially below the market price of the Ordinary Shares and for nominal consideration only, the salary income component of Restricted Shares or RSUs, and the corresponding expense which the Company will be allowed to
claim for tax purposes in Israel, is and will be significantly higher than in the case of options.
(e) Insurance,
Indemnification and Release
The Remuneration Committee, the Board and the shareholders of the Company have resolved,
consistent with the Compensation Policy: (i) to ratify and approve the purchase and the periodic renewal of insurance coverage in respect of the liability of its Office Holders currently in office and any additional or other Office Holders as
may be appointed from time to time in the future, including external directors, which will include coverage with respect to any public offering of shares or other securities of the Company, to the maximum extent permitted by law, providing for up to
$75.0 million in coverage. The Remuneration Committee and the Board
18
only may approve a greater amount of coverage; provided however, that any such greater amount of coverage shall not exceed 15% of the Companys market capitalization, calculated based on the
closing price of the Ordinary Shares, as quoted on Nasdaq at the close of business on December 31 of the calendar year preceding the date of such approval; (ii) to undertake in advance to indemnify all directors and the chief executive
officer of the Company currently in office, and any additional or other directors and chief executive officer(s) as may be appointed from time to time in the future, including external directors, for certain matters, costs and expenses as set forth
in a letter of indemnification and exemption and release approved for issuance to them; and (iii) to exempt and release to the maximum extent permitted by law all directors and the chief executive officer of the Company currently in office, and
any additional or other directors and chief executive officer(s) as may be appointed from time to time in the future, including external directors, from and against all liability for monetary or other damages due to, or arising or resulting from, a
breach of their duty of care to the Company, including, with respect to directors, in their capacity as officers of the Company to the extent they also serve as officers of the Company, and to provide them with letters in this regard.
Consistent with the Compensation Policy, the Remuneration Committee and the Board resolved to similarly undertake in advance to indemnify
certain other Office Holders of the Company (in addition to the directors and the chief executive officer of the Company) including all those currently in office; and to similarly exempt and release to the maximum extent permitted by law all such
other Office Holders of the Company, from and against all liability for monetary or other damages due to, or arising or resulting from, a breach of their duty of care to the Company and to provide them with letters in this regard.
Subject to the foregoing, any current directors who are
re-elected,
including external directors,
would benefit from the insurance, indemnification, release and exemption discussed herein.
(f) Other Director
Disclosure
The Company is not aware of any agreements or arrangements between any director or nominee for election as
a director and any person or entity other than the Company relating to compensation or other payment in connection with such directors or nominees candidacy for director or for a directors service as a director of the Company.
Policy on Confidentiality and Trading in Company Securities
As a publicly traded entity, the Company maintains and enforces policies concerning confidentiality of information and the purchase and sale of its securities by all directors, officers, employees and
consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries and related companies.
19
Certain Information Concerning Equity Awards to Office Holders
The following table sets forth as a group, for all persons who were, at any time during 2016, Office Holders, certain information in
respect of the 2000, 2010 and 2015 Plans concerning: (i) equity awards granted by the Company between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2016; (ii) options which were exercised and paid, and Restricted Shares and RSUs which vested,
between such dates; (iii) equity awards which were cancelled between such dates; and (iv) equity awards which were outstanding on, and as at, December 31, 2016.

Each of the ten resolutions above will be voted upon separately at the Meeting.
The Board recommends a vote
FOR

ITEM 3
Re-appointment
of Auditors
At the 2017 Annual General Meeting, Kesselman & Kesselman, independent registered public accountants in Israel and a member firm
of PwC, will be nominated for
re-appointment
as auditors of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, and until the next annual general meeting of shareholders.
Pursuant to the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act
), Israeli law and the Articles,
the appointment of external auditors requires the approval of the shareholders of the Company, and their compensation requires the approval of the Board, following approval and recommendation by the Audit Committee. The Board has delegated its
authority to approve the compensation of external auditors for
non-audit
services to the Audit Committee or to a delegate thereof. The Audit Committee has reviewed, and is satisfied with, the performance of
Kesselman & Kesselman, and has approved and is recommending to shareholders to approve, their
re-appointment
as external auditors.
Kesselman & Kesselman has no relationship with the Company or any affiliate of the Company except as auditors and, to a limited
extent, as tax consultants. The Audit Committee believes that this limited
non-audit
function does not affect the independence of Kesselman & Kesselman. A representative of Kesselman &
Kesselman will be present at the Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.
The Audit Committee maintains a policy of approving and recommending only those services to be performed by the Companys external
auditors which are permitted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the applicable rules of the SEC relating to auditors independence, and which are otherwise consistent with and will encourage, and are remunerated at levels that accord with, the
basic principles of auditor independence. The general practice of the Audit Committee is to receive from the Companys management, either at the time of the Audit Committees final review of managements annual report on internal
control over financial reporting or at the time of approval of the Companys annual financial statements for the preceding fiscal year, a list of all services, including audit, audit-related, tax and other services, proposed to be provided
during the current fiscal
21
year to the Company by Kesselman & Kesselman and/or other member firms of PwC, as well as a report regarding the extent of such services actually provided by Kesselman &
Kesselman and PwC during the previous fiscal year and the fees paid for such services performed. After reviewing and considering the services proposed to be provided during the current fiscal year and, where appropriate in order better to understand
their nature, discussing them with management, the Audit Committee
pre-approves
such of the proposed services, with a specific
pre-approved
budget, as it considers
appropriate in accordance with the above principles. Management also maintains a practice of discussing these matters on an ongoing basis during the year with Mr. Dan Falk, a member of the Audit Committee and its appointed delegate in respect
of audit-related and
non-audit-related
services. Additional services from Kesselman & Kesselman and PwC and any increase in budgeted amounts will similarly be submitted for
pre-approval
during the year by the Audit Committee on a
case-by-case
basis.
All audit-related and
non-audit-related
services performed by Kesselman & Kesselman
and/or other member firms of PwC during 2016 and 2015 were
pre-approved
by the Audit Committee in accordance with the procedures outlined above.
The following table provides information regarding fees paid by the Company to Kesselman & Kesselman and/or other member firms
of PwC for all services, including audit services, for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:

It is proposed that at the 2017 Annual General Meeting the following resolution be adopted:
RESOLVED, that the Companys auditors, Kesselman & Kesselman, independent registered public accountants in Israel and
a member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, be, and they hereby are,
re-appointed
as auditors of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, and until the Companys
next annual general meeting of shareholders.
The Audit Committee recommends a vote
FOR
approval of the
proposed resolution.
Consideration of the Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm and the
Consolidated Financial Statements
At the 2017 Annual General Meeting, the Report of the Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm and the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, will be
22
presented for discussion. The representative of Kesselman & Kesselman present at the Meeting will be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders concerning the Report
of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm and the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.
