 discretionary authority to vote your shares on this Proposal 1. Accordingly, we urge you to direct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote by returning your voting materials as instructed or by obtaining a proxy from your broker or other nominee in order to vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting. Broker non-votes will have no effect on this Proposal 1.

If on the record date your shares were held in “street name” through a TASE member, your TASE member will not vote your shares and you must vote through the electronic voting system of the ISA. If you do not vote your shares through this system, we will treat your shares as not present and not entitled to vote for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum, but will have no effect on this Proposal 1.

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the election of each of the directors nominated.

We believe that our executive compensation system appropriately links pay to both the Company’s and the executive’s performance and is well aligned with the long-term interests of our stockholders. The Board does not allocate a fixed percentage to any specific component of compensation, but works with management to design an overall compensation structure that best serves its goals and appropriately motivates our executive officers to provide outstanding service to the
