FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This proxy statement contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of United States securities laws.

ABOUT TABOOLA

Taboola empowers businesses to grow through performance advertising technology that goes beyond search and social and delivers measurable outcomes at scale. Taboola helps businesses grow by placing ads on publisher sites, mobile apps, and devices, which we collectively refer to as digital properties. We operate outside of the major search and social media walled gardens such as Meta, Google, and Amazon. Thousands of advertisers, merchants, affiliate networks and their respective brands and agencies, who we collectively refer to as "Advertisers," trust us to drive growth, while approximately 14,000 digital property partners, including NBCNews, Disney, Yahoo, and Apple, rely on us for monetization and audience growth. Our scale is meaningful - we reach over 600 million people a day, gaining real-time insight into what people read and buy. This gives us unique "pulse of the internet" data - which alongside our artificial intelligence (AI) - is our competitive advantage and helps our advertiser clients achieve exceptional returns on their advertising spend.

Taboola began operations in 2007 and our technology provides significant value to both digital property partners and Advertisers. Digital properties use our technology platforms to achieve their business goals, such as driving new audiences to their sites and apps, or increasing engagement on site. We also provide a meaningful monetization opportunity to digital properties by matching relevant advertising to their audience in real time. Unlike walled gardens, we are a business-to-business, or B2B, company with no competing consumer interests. We only interact with consumers through our partners' digital properties, hence we do not compete with our partners for user attention. Our motivations are aligned. When our partners win, we win, and we grow together.

We empower Advertisers to leverage our proprietary AI-powered performance advertising platform to reach targeted audiences utilizing effective ad formats across digital properties.

We generate revenues primarily when people (consumers) click on, purchase from or, in some cases, view the ads that appear within our partners' digital experiences via our performance AI engine. Advertisers pay us for those clicks, purchases or impressions, and we share the resulting revenue with the digital properties who display those ads and generate those clicks and downstream consumer actions.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

In February 2025, the Company announced a new focus beyond native advertising, a powerful new technology platform called Realize, and opened Realize for all advertisers.

Taboola has been a market leader in native advertising for more than a decade, driving success for advertisers, primarily in "bottom-of-article" placements. Taboola has now extended beyond this legacy with the introduction of Realize, a platform that specializes in performance outcomes at scale beyond search and social.

Realize leverages our unique data, performance AI and an increasingly diverse range of inventory and creative formats to achieve performance objectives

Taboola 4 2026 Proxy Statement

------

**Proposal 1: Re-election of Two Class II Directors. The nominees for director are elected by a majority of the votes cast. This means that the number of votes cast "FOR" a director nominee must exceed the number of votes cast "AGAINST" the nominee. If the nominee receives more votes cast "FOR" their election than "AGAINST" they will be elected as a Class II director to serve until the 2029 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and until their successor is duly elected and qualified. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.** 

**Proposal 2: Advisory Approval on Executive Compensation. The approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our NEOs in this Proxy Statement requires the "FOR" vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy entitled to vote and voting on such proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.** 

**Proposal 3: To approve the Compensation Policy for the Company's executive officers and directors. The approval of the Compensation Policy in this Proxy Statement is subject to the fulfillment of one of the following additional voting requirements: (i) the majority of the Ordinary shares that are voted at the Annual Meeting in favor of Proposal 3, excluding abstentions, includes a majority of the votes of shareholders who are not controlling shareholders or do not have a personal interest for approval of Proposal 3 (each, an "Interested Shareholder"); or (ii) the total number of Ordinary shares of the shareholders mentioned in clause (i) above that are voted against such proposal does not exceed two percent (2%) of the total voting rights in the Company.** 

**Note Regarding Proposal 3: For the purpose of Proposal 3, a "controlling shareholder" is any shareholder that has the ability to direct the Company's activities (other than by means of being a director or office holder of the Company). A person is presumed to be a controlling shareholder if it holds or controls, by himself 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. A "personal interest" of a shareholder in an action or transaction of a company includes a personal interest of any of the shareholder's relatives (i.e. spouse, brother or sister, parent, grandparent, child as well as child, brother, sister or parent of such shareholder's spouse or the spouse of any of the above) or an interest of a company with respect to which the shareholder or the shareholder's relative (as defined above) holds 5% or more of such company's issued shares or voting rights, in which any such person has the right to appoint a director or the chief executive officer or in which any such person serves as director or the chief executive officer, including the personal interest of a person voting pursuant to a proxy which the proxy grantor has a personal interest, whether or not the person voting pursuant to such proxy has discretion with regards to the vote; and excludes an interest arising solely from the ownership of ordinary shares of a company.** 

**Proposal 4: To approve the compensation terms for our Chief Executive Officer (and Director). The approval of the compensation terms for our Chief Executive Officer (and Director) in this Proxy Statement requires the "FOR" vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy entitled to vote and voting on such proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.** 

**Proposal 5: Re-Appointment of Independent Auditors. The ratification of the appointment of Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, as our independent registered public accounting firm requires the "FOR" vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy entitled to vote and voting on such proposal.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

### Corporate Governance at Taboola

#### OVERVIEW
Taboola is committed to effective corporate governance and independent oversight by our Board. Our programs and policies are informed by engagement with our shareholders as well as a guiding principle that the Board is accountable for representing the best interests of our shareholders, accomplished primarily through independence, diversity of experience and engagement with shareholders and other key constituents. The information set forth below is as of March 31, 2026.

#### Board Composition Highlights
![](ny20067407x2_boardcomp.jpg)

#### SHAREHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
We believe that effective corporate governance includes regular, constructive conversations with our shareholders, and we value our shareholders' continued feedback and opinions. All feedback is reviewed and considered as appropriate for the Company's strategy, business growth and maturity stage. We are committed to maintaining an active dialogue to understand the priorities and concerns of our shareholders on a variety of topics, including business strategy, executive compensation and corporate governance. Maintaining an active dialogue with our shareholders is consistent with our corporate values of open communication and accountability and we intend to continue these efforts in the future.

#### BOARD OF DIRECTORS COMPOSITION
The Nominating and Governance Committee, with input from the Board, is responsible for nominating directors for election each year and evaluating the need for new director candidates as appropriate. This assessment includes an evaluation of each director nominee's skills and experience, and independence, as well as consideration of diverse perspectives and experiences, and other characteristics, such as race/ethnicity, gender and nationality, in the context of the needs of the Board.

#### Director Independence
Our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each director who served during 2025. Based on information provided by each non-employee director concerning their background, employment and affiliations, our Board determined that all of our non-employee directors (except for Monica Mijaleski) meet the categorical standards for independence under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and satisfy the qualifications for independence under the Nasdaq Global Select Market ("Nasdaq") listing standards.

Taboola 6 2026 Proxy Statement

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
In making these determinations, our Board considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with our Company and all other facts and circumstances our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of Taboola securities by each such non-employee director or affiliated entities, and their involvement in any transactions described under the heading "Related Party Transactions."

#### Director Nominee Qualifications, Diversity and Skills
We believe that our Board should have a variety of qualifications, skill sets and experience that, when taken as a whole, best serve the Company and our shareholders. We recognize the importance of diversity with regard to the composition of the Board and seek to have a Board that consists of members with a diversity of experience, perspectives and viewpoints, including diversity with respect to gender, race, ethnicity and nationality in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

#### Identifying Director Nominees
In connection with nominating directors for election each year and evaluating the need for new director candidates as appropriate, including skill sets, diversity and specific business background, the Nominating and Governance Committee, with input from the entire Board and management, focuses on the Board's capabilities and functioning as a whole. The Nominating and Governance Committee evaluates candidates recommended by shareholders using the same criteria it applies to evaluate other candidates. Shareholders who wish to recommend a director candidate should submit the candidate's name and background information in writing to our Corporate Secretary at 16 Madison Square West, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10010. The Board expects all directors and director nominees to possess the following attributes or characteristics:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The highest personal and professional ethics and integrity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Proven achievement and competence in their respective field and the ability to exercise sound business judgment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Skills that are complementary to those of the existing Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The ability and commitment to attend Board and committee meetings and to invest sufficient time and energy in monitoring management's conduct of the business and compliance with Taboola's operating and administrative procedures; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• An understanding of the fiduciary responsibilities that are required of a member of the Board and the commitment of time and energy necessary to diligently carry out those responsibilities.

#### BOARD OF DIRECTORS LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE
Our Board periodically evaluates our leadership structure and combination or separation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board roles is driven by our needs at any point in time. As a result, no policy exists requiring combination or separation of these leadership roles and our governing documents do not mandate a particular structure. This approach has allowed our Board the flexibility to establish the most appropriate structure for the Board at any given time.

At this time, our Board believes that having an independent Chair provides strong independent leadership and oversight for our Company and our Board. The separation of the Chair and CEO positions allows our independent Chair to focus on the governance of our Board, Board meeting agenda planning, the recruitment of new directors and Board committee responsibilities. Furthermore, this structure allows our CEO to focus his attention on the business and execution of the Company's strategy. The Company believes that the Board's current leadership structure supports the risk oversight function of the Board.

The chair of our Nominating and Governance Committee oversees the annual Board and Committee self-evaluation process. The Nominating and Governance Committee chair conducted one-on-one meetings with each director and discussed a variety of Board and committee-specific topics, including the effectiveness of the Board and its committees and their respective chairpersons, the effectiveness of the Board and committee meetings and their relationships with management, the appropriateness of their roles and responsibilities, and areas for possible improvement. The responses were reviewed, compiled and discussed by the directors. The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for establishing the Board and committee evaluation process each year and may determine to use an independent third-party evaluation process from time to time in the future.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### BOARD OF DIRECTORS' ROLE IN RISK OVERSIGHT
Our Board oversees the risk management activities designed and implemented by our management team and also considers specific risk topics, including risks associated with our strategic initiatives, cybersecurity, business plans and capital structure. The Board executes its oversight responsibilities both directly and through its committees. Our management, including our executive officers, is primarily responsible for managing the risks associated with the operation and business of the Company and reports periodically to the Board and the Audit Committee on risk management activities, including cybersecurity. Our Board has delegated to the Audit Committee oversight of its risk management process, and our other Board committees also consider risks related to the performance of their respective committee responsibilities. All committees report to the Board as frequently as appropriate, including when a matter rises to the level of a material or enterprise risk.

#### MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
During 2025, the Board held 4 meetings, and each of the incumbent directors attended at least 75% of the total of all meetings of the Board and committees on which the director served during his or her service as a director during the year. Although Taboola does not have a formal policy regarding attendance of directors at the annual meeting of shareholders, all directors are encouraged to attend. Mr. Singolda attended the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders.

#### COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board has the following committees to assist it in carrying out its responsibilities, and each operates under a written charter, a copy of which is available under the "Corporate Governance" section in the "Investor Relations" portion of our website at *www.taboola.com*. The charter for each committee, which establishes its roles and responsibilities and governs its procedures, is to be reviewed annually with any changes subject to Board approval.

#### CORPORATE GOVERNANCE GUIDELINES AND CODE OF CONDUCT
We have adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that address items such as the qualifications and responsibilities of our directors and director nominees, conflicts of interest, succession planning, committee composition, director term limits, and other important governance policies and principles.

Additionally, we have adopted a Code of Conduct that applies to all our employees, officers and directors. Our Code of Conduct addresses, among other things, competition and fair dealing, gifts and entertainment, conflicts of interest, international business laws, financial matters and external reporting, company assets, confidentiality and corporate opportunity requirements and the process for reporting violations of the Code of Conduct.

The Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Conduct are available under the "Corporate Governance" section in the "Investor Relations" portion of our website at *www.taboola.com*.

#### NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Members of the Board who are not employees are eligible for compensation under our Compensation Policy for Executive Officers and Directors, or the Compensation Policy. The Compensation Policy was adopted by the Board and approved by shareholders in June 2021, with the objective of assembling a high-performing Board that could best guide the Company in achieving its strategic

Taboola 9 2026 Proxy Statement

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
and operational goals and promote long-term shareholder value. As required by the Companies law, the Compensation Policy is being submitted for shareholder approval again at this Annual Meeting. The Compensation Policy is periodically reviewed under the combined leadership of the Compensation Committee and the Board to ensure that it continues to satisfy the Board's overall compensation objectives and philosophy. The Compensation Committee and Board are aided in their review by an independent compensation consultant, Pearl Meyer & Partners, LLC ("Pearl Meyer"), which provides compensation benchmarking and consultation services.

For 2025, each of the non-employee directors received the following cash compensation which is paid in quarterly installments: (i) annual Board retainer of $40,000 (or $140,000 for the chairperson); (ii) $10,000 per membership of the Audit Committee (or $20,000 for the chairperson); (iii) $7,500 per membership of the Compensation Committee (or $15,000 for the chairperson); (iv) and $4,000 per membership of the Nominating and Governance Committee or any other Board Committee (or $8,000 for the chairperson).

In addition, upon election or appointment, non-employee directors will be granted a restricted share unit award under our equity incentive plan at a value of $360,000, which will vest over a period of one year, and thereafter, provided the director is still in office, an annual restricted share unit award of $190,000, which will vest over a period of one year.

#### Director Share Ownership Guidelines
To further align the interests of our non-employee directors with the Company's shareholders, the Board adopted and the shareholders approved share ownership guidelines, or Director Guidelines, for our non-employee directors. Pursuant to the Director Guidelines, all non-employee directors are expected to own shares in the Company with an aggregate value equal to four times their annual cash Board retainer fee, excluding any additional cash retainers for committee service on the latter of the fourth anniversary of: (i) the adoption of the Director Guidelines or (ii) the non-employee director's initial election to the Board. The following equity holdings qualify toward satisfaction of the Director Guidelines:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) held directly or indirectly by the director including shares held in joint accounts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) held by a trust of which the director is a trustee or a primary beneficiary; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the receipt of which were deferred under any Company approved deferred compensation plan or arrangement for non-employee directors, so long as such shares are vested.

Unexercised options to purchase Ordinary shares of the Company do not count toward the Guidelines.

The level of ownership is calculated as of March 27, 2026, the same date used for the Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management Table below, and by reference to the closing price of our Ordinary shares on Nasdaq on that date. As of March 27, 2026, each non-employee director exceeded their Director Guidelines of four times their annual cash Board retainer fee.

#### RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

#### Related Party Transaction Policy
Our policy is that any transactions with related parties must be on terms that, on the whole, are no less favorable to Taboola than those that are available from unaffiliated third parties.

The Companies Law requires that an office holder promptly disclose to the board of directors any personal interest and all related material information known to such office holder concerning any existing or proposed transaction with the company. A personal interest includes an interest of any person in an act or transaction of a company, including a personal interest of one's relative or of a corporate body in which such person or a relative of such person is a 5% or greater shareholder, director, or general manager or in which such person has the right to appoint at least one director or the general manager, but excluding a personal interest stemming solely from one's ownership of shares in the company. A personal interest includes the personal interest of a person for whom the office holder holds a voting proxy or the personal interest of the office holder with respect to the office holder's vote on behalf of a person for whom he or she holds a proxy even if such shareholder has no personal interest in the matter.

If it is determined that an office holder has a personal interest in a non-extraordinary transaction (meaning any transaction that is in the ordinary course of business, on market terms or that is not likely to have a material impact on the company's profitability, assets or liabilities), approval by the board of directors is required for the transaction unless the company's articles of association provide for a different method of approval. Any such transaction that is adverse to the company's interests may not be approved by the board of directors.

Approval first by the Company's Audit Committee and subsequently by the Board of Directors is required for an extraordinary transaction (meaning any transaction that is not in the ordinary course of business, not on market terms or that is likely to have a material impact on the Company's profitability, assets or liabilities) in which an office holder has a personal interest.

Taboola 11 2026 Proxy Statement

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
A director and any other office holder who has a personal interest in a transaction which is considered at a meeting of the Board of Directors or the Audit Committee may generally (unless it is with respect to a transaction which is not an extraordinary transaction) not be present at such a meeting or vote on that matter unless a majority of the directors or members of the Audit Committee, as applicable, have a personal interest in the matter. If a majority of the members of the Audit Committee or the Board of Directors have a personal interest in the matter, then all of the directors may participate in deliberations of the Audit Committee or Board of Directors, as applicable, with respect to such transaction and vote on the approval thereof and, in such case, shareholder approval is also required.

Under the Companies Law, in addition to the approval of the Board, the approval of the Audit Committee or the Compensation Committee (as the case may be), and in some cases, the shareholders of the Company is required to effect specified actions and transactions with office holders and controlling shareholders and their relatives, or in which they have a personal interest. The term "Controlling Shareholder" means any shareholder with the ability to direct the activities of the company, other than by virtue of being an office holder. A shareholder is presumed to be a Controlling Shareholder if the shareholder holds 50% or more of the voting rights in a company or has the right to appoint 50% or more of the directors of the company or its chief executive officer. For the purpose of approving transactions with controlling shareholders, the term "controlling shareholder" also includes any shareholder that holds 25% or more of the voting rights of the company if no other shareholder holds more than 50% of the voting rights in the company. For purposes of determining the holding percentage stated above, two or more shareholders who have a personal interest in a transaction that is brought for the company's approval are deemed as joint holders.

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, we do not have a controlling shareholder as defined under the Companies Law.

#### Related Party Transactions (US dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
The Company is a party to certain transaction-related agreements with Yahoo, pursuant to which the Company issued 39,525,691 Ordinary shares and 45,198,702 Non-voting Ordinary shares to Yahoo, and granting Yahoo the right to appoint one representative to the Company's board of directors, resulting in Yahoo to become a principal shareholder effective the Transaction closing on January 17, 2023.

The Company and its affiliates are parties to several agreements in the ordinary course of business with Yahoo and its affiliates. Revenues from the related party are derived from Yahoo's advertiser spend on the Company's network, for which Yahoo is the billing entity. Traffic acquisition cost to the related party is compensation for placing Taboola's platform on Yahoo's digital property. In connection with these agreements, the Company recorded revenue from Yahoo in the amount of $201,638 which represents 10.5% of the Company's total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025. In addition, the Company recorded traffic acquisition costs related to Yahoo in the amount of $348,995 for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Under these arrangements, the Company recognized expenses, net of $(1,441) for the year ended December 31, 2025.

On February 24, 2025, the Company and Yahoo entered into a Share Repurchase Agreement ("Repurchase Agreement"). In accordance with the Repurchase Agreement, the Company may conduct weekly repurchases of Yahoo's Non-voting Ordinary shares at a purchase price determined by a market based pricing formula as specified in the Repurchase Agreement. The maximum amount of Non-voting Ordinary shares that may be repurchased each week will be 25% of the applicable allowable limit under Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Repurchase Agreement terminates upon the earlier of: (i) the Company obtaining regulatory approval permitting Yahoo's equity ownership in the Company to exceed 25%; (ii) the Company determining, as specified in the Repurchase Agreement, that no such approval is required; or (iii) December 31, 2025.

#### HUMAN CAPITAL
We strive to create a diverse, inclusive and ambitious environment where every employee can discover and unleash their potential to achieve individual and collective success, in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Our employees are our most valuable asset.

#### Employees
On December 31, 2025, we had approximately 2,000 employees, the majority of which have been employed by Taboola for over three years (including service periods of persons employed by Connexity prior to Taboola's acquisition of Connexity). We have approximately 400 employees working in research and development, with an average tenure of six years.

As of December 31, 2025, our employees are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement, except as required by law under arrangements in France, Spain, and Brazil, covering a total of approximately 90 employees. We have never experienced a general strike or similar work stoppage.

#### Transparency
The ability to be transparent and share and discuss our business challenges and opportunities openly and broadly with all our employees is important to our success. We promote an open dialogue with our employees through all-hands meetings, usually twice a month, which include Q&A sessions with senior leadership. We conduct annual and topic-specific employee feedback surveys which consistently close to 90% or higher response rate. Survey results are shared publicly with our managers and employees. We continue to adjust our investment in human capital based on the feedback from our employees.

#### Talent Acquisition and Development
We are focused on recruiting and retaining talented employees across the organization, with a particular focus on unique talent in algorithms, product, customer relationship management and many other areas that are critical to our success. We continue to invest to hire and retain top talent in all of our offices, and provide competitive compensation for our employees and a range of flexible benefits, including an industry-leading parental leave policy. We are proud to have been consistently recognized as a top employer across the globe. In 2025, we received our first-ever Great Place to Work awards in APAC, with wins across Thailand, Taiwan, and India. This success extended to the U.S. where we earned a Great Place to Work award and were named a Best Workplace in Marketing & Advertising by Fortune, as well as one of the 100 best large companies to work for by Built In in our major offices across New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago and Atlanta. We were also named a Best Place to Work by UK's Campaign and a top high-tech company in Israel by Dun & Bradstreet. Our strong external reputation led to a quarterly average of over 70,000 candidates applying to work at Taboola in 2025. For new hires, we developed an onboarding program tailored towards their roles and responsibilities. On an ongoing basis, we invest in training and development programs that help our employees achieve their career goals, build management skills and lead their organizations. We have two formal career feedback discussions per year where managers and their employees discuss progress and feedback for each other. We believe in developing and promoting top talent from within and in 2025, approximately 15% of our employees were offered an opportunity for career advancement within the company.

#### Performance and Alignment
We seek to implement a "pay for performance" culture that we believe drives superior results. We invest in our workforce by offering competitive salaries, incentives, and benefits. We align the interests of our employees with those of Taboola through a broad-based equity award program, generally with a four-year vesting schedule. Typically, employee bonus plans are based on both personal and company goals.

#### Wellness and Diversity
In 2020, we launched a global taskforce that is focused on promoting wellness and diversity within our organization. The task force works with our senior management team to address global wellness and diversity topics and develop relevant initiatives to ensure we continue to build a culture where every employee feels valued, seen, and heard. We continue to have a mechanism for employees to anonymously voice concerns.

Throughout 2025, we continued to see the results of our initiatives. With respect to finding top diverse talent, we continued assessing our current workforce demographics by region and business unit, and measured our goals and guidelines in efforts of diversifying our recruitment funnel at the first assessment stage. We are committed to wellness and diversity in recruiting with our Diverse Interview Slate Campaign to promote diversity in the interview process and reduce biases, which has led to hiring more women managers in technical roles. We further invested in strategic partnerships with employment platforms that provide us multi-pronged access to highly skilled underrepresented talent, who may not currently be on our platform, such as Built-In, Ivy Research Council, and Jopwell. As a result, in 2025, we saw that 53% of our new hires were women and 26% of those women were hired into technical positions.

Within the organization, in 2025 we had nine Employee Resource Groups with each having an annual budget to sponsor programming and events. We also have a mentorship program connecting Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) talent to senior leaders. We continue to have a number of global and region-specific initiatives held to promote a culture of inclusion and belonging - such as, workshops, panels, networking events and communities for various interest groups. We also partner with Gold Enterprises to create robust programming for our multi-year wellness and diversity training plan.

We are committed to building a long-term plan that will help foster a community that is diverse and inclusive, both internally and externally, consistent with applicable laws and regulations.

### Executive Compensation

#### COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
This Compensation Discussion & Analysis, or CD&A, explains our executive compensation program for our named executive officers, or NEOs, listed below. This CD&A also describes the Compensation Committee's process for making pay decisions, as well as its rationale for specific decisions related to the year ended December 31, 2025.

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **NAME**  | **AGE** | **POSITION**  |
| **Adam Singolda** | 44 | Founder and Chief Executive Officer  |
| **Stephen Walker** | 56 | Chief Financial Officer  |
| **Eldad Maniv** | 57 | President and Chief Operating Officer  |
| **Lior Golan\*** | 55 | Chief Technology Officer  |
| **Kristy Sundjaja** | 48 | Chief People Officer |

---

\* Effective February 2025, Mr. Golan no longer qualified as an "executive officer" or "officer" as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This determination was a result of the Company's and Mr. Golan's mutual decision that he transition away from his substantial management responsibilities to focus on long-term strategic initiatives and select high impact products to drive the Company's growth. Mr. Golan remains the Company's Chief Technology Officer. 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

We operate in the highly competitive advertising technology industry. To succeed in this environment, we must attract and retain high performing and experienced individuals, including executive officers with strong leadership skills who can run our business functions and achieve results that meet our clients' needs and shareholders' expectations. We have designed our executive compensation program to accomplish our goals in this highly competitive area for top talent, while at the same time fostering a "pay for performance" environment that aligns the long-term interests of our executive officers with the interests of our shareholders.

#### 2025 Compensation Highlights
Our executive compensation program has three primary elements: base salary, annual short-term cash incentives, and long-term equity incentives. Each of these compensation elements serves a specific purpose in our compensation strategy. Base salary is an essential component to any market-competitive compensation program. Annual incentives reward the achievement of short-term goals, while long-term incentives drive our NEOs to focus on long-term sustainable shareholder value creation. Below are key highlights of the executive compensation decisions the Compensation Committee made with respect to target direct compensation for fiscal year 2025:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Base salaries: None of the NEOs received base salary increases in 2025 other than Ms. Sundjaja. See "*Base Salaries*" in this CD&A for details.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Annual short-term cash incentives: In 2025, Adjusted EBITDA goal (70% weighting) was achieved at 100% of target while the ex-TAC Gross Profit goal (30% weighting) was achieved at 101% of target performance, resulting in an overall award payout of 100%. See *"Annual Short-Term Incentive Compensation*" in this CD&A for details.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Annual long-term incentive compensation: For 2025, all long-term equity incentive awards were made as Time-Based Restricted Share Units ("RSUs"), consistent with market practice for companies of our size and maturity in our sector, that vest in equal quarterly installments over a four-year period. Target annual equity award values were determined based on our competitive market analysis and our compensation philosophy, which calibrates award levels between market median and 75<sup>th</sup> percentile. *See "Long-Term Incentive Compensation*" in this CD&A for details.

SAY-ON-PAY

The Company is committed to engagement with shareholders. We review any feedback we receive from our shareholders about our executive compensation program, including through the say-on-pay vote, discussed below, to ensure that we understand key matters of interest to them, and to enable us to take that feedback into consideration for our compensation decisions.

At our 2025 annual meeting, we held a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation (commonly referred to as a "say-on-pay" vote). This say-on-pay received strong support from our shareholders, with over 85% of votes cast in support of the proposal. The Compensation Committee believes this vote demonstrated our shareholders' positive view of our pay-for-performance philosophy and the appropriateness of our executive compensation structure.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION POLICIES AND PRACTICES

Our executive compensation program is designed to be heavily weighted towards compensating our executive officers based on our financial performance and may also be based on other strategic or operational goals. To that end, we have implemented executive compensation policies and practices that reinforce our pay for performance philosophy and align with sound governance principles. Our policy also includes measures designed to reduce the executive officer's incentives to take excessive risks that may harm the Company in the long-term, such as limits on the value of cash bonuses and equity-based compensation, limitations on the ratio between the variable and the total compensation of an executive officer, and minimum vesting periods for equity-based compensation. Currently, the following compensation policies and practices are in place:

WHAT GUIDES OUR PROGRAM

#### Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
Our executive compensation program is designed to attract, motivate and incentivize superior individual excellence and retain the key executives who drive our success. This section provides an overview of our executive compensation philosophy and objectives, and each component of our executive compensation program.

#### Our Philosophy
Our executive compensation program is designed to build long-term value for our shareholders and stakeholders by driving employee engagement and retention. Our goal is to align our executive pay with the success of our business. We do this by providing competitive base salaries, calibrated to market median, and delivering the majority of compensation through pay elements that are designed to deliver short-term and long-term value creation for our shareholders as well as foster a culture of ownership. Our focus on pay for performance ensures that a significant portion of an executive's total compensation is variable ("at risk") and dependent upon the attainment of certain specific and measurable financial business objectives.

Taboola 21 2026 Proxy Statement

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### Our Objectives
Taboola's executive compensation program for NEOs and other executive officers aims to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Attract, recognize and retain highly qualified executives who possess the skills and leadership necessary to grow our business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reward our executives for achieving or exceeding our financial performance and other strategic and operational goals;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reflect our long-term corporate strategy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Align the long-term interests of our executives with those of our shareholders; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Achieve the preceding goals in a manner aligned with sound risk management and our corporate values.

#### Elements of Annual Compensation
The annual compensation arrangements for our NEOs include base salary, short-term incentive compensation in the form of cash incentive awards and long-term compensation in the form of equity awards. We have historically emphasized the use of equity to provide long-term incentives for our NEOs, to focus on the growth of our overall enterprise value and, correspondingly, to create sustainable value for our shareholders.

We also provide our employees, including our NEOs and other executives, with comprehensive employee benefit programs such as medical, dental and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan, life and disability insurance, flexible spending accounts, and other plans and programs made available to eligible employees.

Our Compensation Committee regularly evaluates our compensation philosophy and the components of our compensation program to ensure that they are effectively driving the Company's strategic objectives and promoting strong performance while remaining market competitive.

THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS

#### Role of the Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee is primarily responsible for establishing, approving and adjusting compensation arrangements for our senior executives, including the Chief Executive Officer and our other NEOs, and for reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to these compensation arrangements, evaluating executive performance and considering factors related to the performance of the Company, including accomplishment of the Company's long-term business and financial goals. The Compensation Committee is currently comprised of three independent, non-employee members of the Board.

The Compensation Committee works closely with its independent consultant, Pearl Meyer, and senior executives to examine the effectiveness of the Company's executive compensation program throughout the year.

Compensation decisions for our NEOs are made by the Compensation Committee and the Board, with input from Pearl Meyer, as well as from our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief People Officer (except with respect to their own compensation).

The Compensation Committee reviews the cash and equity compensation of our NEOs with the goal of ensuring that our executive officers are properly incentivized and makes adjustments as it determines to be appropriate.

The Compensation Committee considers compensation data from our peer group as one of several factors that inform its judgment of appropriate parameters for target compensation levels. The Compensation Committee will also consider other factors in determining compensation including those set forth below, and may pay above, at, or below compensation paid by members of the peer group:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our long-term goals and strategies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The difficulty and cost of replacing high-performing leaders with in-demand skills; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The relative compensation among our NEOs

The Compensation Committee works with members of our management team, as appropriate, in reviewing executive compensation. Typically, our Chief Executive Officer and management team assist the Compensation Committee by providing information on corporate and individual performance and its perspectives and recommendations on compensation matters. Our Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding compensation matters, including the compensation of our other NEOs, but excluding his own. While the Compensation Committee solicits and reviews our Chief Executive Officer's recommendations and proposals with respect to compensation-related matters, it uses these recommendations and proposals as one of many factors in making compensation decisions, and those decisions do not necessarily follow the Chief Executive Officer's recommendations.

#### Role of the Compensation Consultant
The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain the services of external advisors, including compensation consultants, legal counsel and other advisors, from time to time, as it sees fit, in connection with carrying out its duties. In 2025, the Compensation Committee continued to engage Pearl Meyer to assist us in executing our executive compensation strategy and guiding principles, assessing the current target total direct compensation opportunities of our executive officers, including comparing them against competitive market practices, developing a compensation peer group and advising on potential executive compensation decisions for 2026.

Pearl Meyer does not provide any services to us other than the services provided to the Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee has assessed the independence of Pearl Meyer taking into account, among other things, the factors set forth in Exchange Act Rule 10C-1 and the Nasdaq listing standards, and has concluded that no conflict of interest exists with respect to the work that Pearl Meyer performs for the Compensation Committee.

#### Peer Group Considerations
The Compensation Committee reviews market data of companies that we believe are comparable to us. With Pearl Meyer's assistance, the Compensation Committee determined our peer group for 2025 based on several factors, including industry classification, company size based on revenue and market capitalization, and other qualitative and business-related factors. Each year, the Compensation Committee examines our compensation peer group to ensure that it continues to reflect these factors, and will make adjustments as it determines to be appropriate.

Our peer group for 2025 compensation decisions consisted of 17 companies within the adtech and broader technology sectors. The Compensation Committee believes this mix of companies best reflects the combined nature of our business. The Compensation Committee referred to compensation data from this peer group as well as data from size-appropriate and industry-specific compensation surveys when making 2025 base salary, short-term incentive award and equity award decisions for our NEOs. The following is a list of the public companies that comprised our 2025 peer group that at the time of review had median revenues of approximately $581 million and a median enterprise value, in the case of public companies, of approximately $2.2 billion.

2025 COMPENSATION

#### Base Salaries
We pay base salaries to our NEOs to compensate them for their services and provide regular income. The salaries typically reflect each NEO's experience, leadership skills and scope of responsibilities, although competitive market conditions also play a role in setting salary levels. The salaries of our NEOs are reviewed on an annual basis by our Compensation Committee with input from our Chief Executive Officer (other than with respect to his own salary, which is reviewed and determined by the Compensation Committee and the Board) and in consultation with Pearl Meyer. Base salaries are adjusted, as deemed appropriate, to maintain competitive pay positioning, reflect changes in responsibilities and other factors. After conducting its annual review for 2025 base salaries, and considering among other things, peer group data and relative compensation for the other NEOs, the Compensation Committee and Board determined that Ms. Sundjaja would receive a base salary increase of 5% to better align her overall compensation at the median of the peer group. No other NEOs received a base salary increase in 2025. The CEO, COO, and CTO salaries have remained unchanged since our IPO, and the CFO's salary was last adjusted in 2022. The table below shows the 2025 and 2024 annual base salaries of our NEOs set by the Compensation Committee.

#### Annual Short-Term Incentive Compensation
Our annual short-term cash incentive compensation plan offers a cash award opportunity, representing a significant portion of each NEO's base cash compensation, for the achievement of fixed financial goals for the Company. A target annual award opportunity, expressed as a percentage of an NEO's base salary rate at year-end, is established annually by the Committee. The table below shows the 2025 target annual cash award opportunities for each of the NEOs.

#### 2025 Performance Measures
The annual short-term cash incentive compensation program provides award opportunities to participants based on the achievement of performance against financial metrics established by the Committee for each NEO. For 2025, annual incentive awards were calculated as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 70% based on achievement of an Adjusted EBITDA performance metric; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 30% based on achievement of an ex-TAC Gross Profit performance metric.

Taboola 24 2026 Proxy Statement

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
The Committee determined that a plan focused on Adjusted EBITDA and ex-TAC Gross Profit was appropriate because it provides a reliable indicator of both our strategic growth and the strength of our overall financial results.

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before finance income (expenses), net, income tax expenses, depreciation and amortization and non-cash amortization of the Commercial agreement asset, further adjusted to exclude share-based compensation including Connexity holdback compensation expenses and other noteworthy income and expense items such as M&A costs and restructuring costs which may vary from period-to-period. We calculate ex-TAC Gross Profit as gross profit adjusted to add back other cost of revenues and non-cash amortization of the Commercial agreement asset. We add back the non-cash amortization of the Commercial agreement asset because it is unique primarily due to the issuance of equity rather than cash, such that ex-TAC Gross Profit includes solely direct cash contribution components.

The following table details the award payout percentage associated with a corresponding performance level against the Adjusted EBITDA and ex-TAC Gross Profit targets for our NEOs. The payout percentage for performance is payable at the same percentage as the target achievement up to 100% of the target and interpolated between target and maximum as shown below, subject to a cap of 150%. In February 2026, the Compensation Committee approved downward adjustments to the Adjusted EBITDA and ex-TAC performance targets to reflect the impact of strategic decisions that are expected to deliver long-term benefits to the business. In doing so, it was determined that achievement with respect to the Adjusted EBITDA target would be reduced to a 100% cap in order to appropriately balance these adjustments.

#### Long-Term Incentive Compensation
Our long-term incentive awards, established through our share incentive plans, are intended to drive executives to deliver strong stock performance, align our executives' compensation with long-term value creation, and to attract and retain highly-qualified executives. For 2025, all long-term equity incentive awards were made as Time-Based Restricted Share Units (RSUs) that vest in equal quarterly installments over a four-year period beginning in the first quarter following the grant date.

While performance-based metrics have historically been used in certain components of our executive compensation program, the Committee is engaged in an ongoing review of the Company's equity compensation structure to ensure continued alignment with shareholder value. As part of this review, the Committee is reviewing the potential introduction of performance-based metrics for a portion of annual NEO equity grants. While no final decisions have been made, the Committee plans to continue its review, including working with its independent compensation consultant, and the Company may engage with certain shareholders as part of this process.

Total grant date values for annual equity awards granted in 2025 for each NEO are shown below:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **NAME** | **2025 EQUITY GRANT DATE FAIR VALUE** <br>**($)<sup>(1)</sup>**  |
| **Adam Singolda** | 6886506<sup>(2)</sup>  |
| **Stephen Walker** | 2712284  |
| **Eldad Maniv** | 3797198  |
| **Lior Golan** | 2621616  |
| **Kristy Sundjaja** | 1162407 |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) These amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair value of the stock awards granted to the NEO computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures in accordance with SEC rules. The methods and assumptions that we used to calculate these amounts are discussed in Note 2 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2025 Annual Report. Reflects grant date fair value based on a ten-day trailing average of our Ordinary shares. The measurement period was February 13, 2025 through February 27, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Mr. Singolda's 2025 RSU award was subject to shareholder approval. The approval was obtained on June 4, 2025, which date was used to calculate the grant date fair value.

Target annual equity award values were determined based on our competitive market analysis and our compensation philosophy, which calibrates award levels between market median and 75<sup>th</sup> percentile.

These grant date fair values were translated into RSUs by taking the corresponding dollar amount and dividing it by the per share "fair value" that was used for reporting the compensation expense associated with the grant under applicable accounting guidance.

OTHER COMPENSATION GUIDELINES, POLICIES & PROGRAMS

#### Executive Officer Share Ownership Guidelines
We believe executive share ownership is critical to aligning our executives' interests with those of our shareholders. It also incentivizes our executives to meet our financial, strategic and operational management objectives. Therefore, in 2021, the Board adopted Executive Officer Share Ownership Guidelines ("Officer Guidelines") for our CEO and our NEOs. Our CEO is expected to own Ordinary shares of the Company with an aggregate value of five times his or her annual base salary and all other executive officers are expected to own an aggregate value of three times his or her base salary. The CEO and other executive officers are expected to comply with the Officer Guidelines on the later of: (i) June 29, 2026, which is the fifth anniversary of the adoption of this Officer Guideline, or (ii) the fifth anniversary of their appointment as an executive officer. The following Ordinary shares qualify toward satisfaction of the Officer Guidelines:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• shares held directly or indirectly by the executive officer including shares held in joint accounts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• shares held by a trust of which the executive officer is a trustee or a primary beneficiary; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• shares the receipt of which were deferred under any Company approved deferred compensation plan or arrangement for executive officers, so long as such shares are vested.

Unexercised options to purchase Ordinary shares of the Company do not count toward the Officer Guidelines. The level of ownership has been calculated as of March 27, 2026, the same date used for the Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management Table below, and by reference to the closing price of our Ordinary shares as reported by Nasdaq on that date. As of March 27, 2026, Mr. Singolda exceeded his Officer Guidelines of five times his base salary. Messrs. Maniv, Golan and Walker and Ms. Sundjaja exceeded their Officer Guidelines of three times their base salary.

#### Clawback Policy
In accordance with Section 10D of the Exchange Act and the Nasdaq listing standards adopted in 2023 as mandated by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Compensation Committee and Board adopted a Clawback Policy ("Clawback Policy"), effective as of October 2, 2023. Under the Clawback Policy, which applies to the Company's current and certain former Section 16 officers, the Company must recover erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation on a pre-tax basis, subject to very limited exceptions. Recovery is triggered by accounting restatements that correct errors that are material to previously issued financial statements, as well as restatements that correct errors that are not material to previously issued financial statements but would result in a material misstatement if (a) the errors were left uncorrected in the current report or (b) the error correction was recognized in the current period. The Clawback Policy does not provide for enforcement discretion by the Compensation Committee or the Board and requires recovery regardless of whether a covered person engaged in any misconduct or is at fault.

#### Insider Trading, Anti-Hedging and Pledging Policies
We have an Insider Trading Compliance Policy ("Insider Trading Policy") that requires our senior executive officers, including our NEOs, to pre-clear transactions in our securities with the Company's Trade Clearance Committee, which consists of members of our legal department. Trading is permitted only during specified quarterly Company open trading periods. Our NEOs may enter into a trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1. These trading plans may be entered into only during an open trading period, must be approved by the Company's legal department, and must comply with the SEC mandated "cooling off" period prior to commencement of trading under the plan. An executive bears the full responsibility if he or she violates the Insider Trading Policy by permitting shares to be bought or sold without pre-clearance or when trading is restricted.

In addition, the Insider Trading Policy prohibits our directors, officers, employees and certain other persons from (i) purchasing financial instruments that are designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of our Ordinary shares, or (ii) engaging in hedging transactions to offset any decrease in the market value of our Ordinary shares. Our Insider Trading Policy also prohibits our directors, executive officers and employees from pledging our Ordinary shares as collateral for margin loans.

Taboola 27 2026 Proxy Statement

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
In addition, it is our policy to comply with applicable securities and state laws, including insider trading laws, when engaging in transactions in the company's securities.

#### Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
Under ASC 718, we are required to estimate and record an expense for each award of equity compensation over the vesting period of the award. We record share-based compensation expense on an ongoing basis according to ASC 718.

#### Equity Award Timing Practices
New SEC rules require us to discuss our policies and practices on the timing of awards of options (or similar awards) in relation to the disclosure by us of material nonpublic information. The Compensation Committee has established a consistent process for granting equity awards to ensure fairness and avoid the appearance of timing-related manipulation. All annual equity awards are approved during a regularly scheduled Compensation Committee meeting, typically held in the first quarter of the fiscal year. The grant date for annual equity awards is either the date of the Compensation Committee's approval or a pre-established date set in advance by the Compensation Committee. Equity awards for newly hired or promoted employees are generally granted on the first regularly scheduled grant date following the effective date of the employment event. We do not currently grant stock options, stock appreciation rights or any similar awards with "option-like" features. Accordingly, we do not consider the release of material nonpublic information in relation to the grant of such awards, and do not time such release for the purpose of affecting the value of execution compensation. Consistent with the foregoing, as a general matter, the Company does not time equity grants in coordination with the release of material non-public information.

#### Deductibility of Executive Compensation
Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, compensation paid to each of our "covered employees" that exceeds $1 million per taxable year is generally non-deductible. Although the Compensation Committee will continue to consider tax implications as one factor in determining executive compensation, the Compensation Committee also looks at other factors in making its decisions and retains the flexibility to provide compensation for our NEOs in a manner consistent with the goals of our executive compensation program and the best interests of our shareholders, which may include providing for compensation that is not deductible due to the deduction limit under Section 162(m).

#### Risk Analysis of our Compensation Practices
Our Compensation Committee reviews and discusses with management the risks arising from our executive compensation philosophy and practices applicable to all employees to determine whether they encourage excessive risk-taking and to evaluate compensation policies and practices that could mitigate such risks. In addition, our Compensation Committee engaged Pearl Meyer to independently review our executive compensation program to determine whether it encourages excessive risk-taking and to evaluate compensation policies and practices that could mitigate such risks. Based on those reviews, the Compensation Committee structures our executive compensation program to encourage our NEOs to focus on both short-term and long-term success. We do not believe that our executive compensation program creates risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

#### CEO Pay Ratio
Under the applicable SEC rules, the Company is providing the following information for fiscal year 2025:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The annual total compensation of the median employee, excluding the CEO, was $126,826;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The annual total compensation of the CEO: $8,130,440; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The ratio of CEO total compensation to median employee total compensation: 64 to 1.

In order to determine the median employee, the Company examined annual cash compensation (base salary, short-term incentive awards and commissions) plus the fair market value of equity granted in the 2025 calendar year for all employees, excluding our CEO, employed as of October 31, 2025, (the "Determination Date"). On the Determination Date, our employee population consisted of approximately 2,013 individuals, of which 467 employees were located in the United States and 1,546 were located in non-US jurisdictions. This population consisted of our full-time, part-time, and temporary employees.

Once we identified our median employee, we combined all of the elements of such employee's compensation for 2025 to determine the median employee total compensation in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K and compared such total compensation to the total compensation of our CEO, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table.

We believe our CEO pay ratio presented above is a reasonable good faith estimate calculated in a manner consistent with the SEC's CEO pay ratio rules and methods for disclosure. The SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio allow companies to use different methodologies, exemptions, estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. As a result, our CEO pay ratio may not be comparable to the CEO pay ratio reported by other companies.

#### Pay versus Performance
SEC rules require us to provide the following information regarding the relationship between executive compensation actually paid and our financial performance for Adam Singolda, our Chief Executive Officer, and for the remaining NEOs collectively, for the years listed below. For purposes of this disclosure, Mr. Singolda is referred to as our "PEO" (principal executive officer) and our remaining NEOs collectively are referred to as the "Non-PEO NEOs."

Generally, under the rules "CAP" (compensation actually paid) is calculated by starting with the Summary Compensation Table total values and making the following adjustments: (1) deducting the grant date value of equity granted during the year, (2) deducting the change in pension value for the year (if any), (3) adding the year-end fair value of unvested equity awards granted during the year, (4) adding, for awards granted in prior years that are outstanding and unvested at the end of the year, the difference between the year-end fair value and the immediately prior year-end fair value, (5) adding, for awards granted in prior years that vested during the year, the difference between the fair value as of the vesting date and the immediately prior year-end fair value, and (6) adding the pension service cost for that year (if any).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The CAP totals represent the SCT totals for the applicable year, but adjusted as required by SEC rules to include the fair value of current and prior year equity awards that are outstanding and unvested, vested or forfeited during the applicable year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Represents the average total of the amounts reported in the Stock Awards and Option Awards columns of the SCT for these NEOs for the applicable year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The following summarizes the valuation assumptions used for stock option awards included as part of Compensation Actually Paid:

- Expected life of each stock option is based on the "simplified method" using an average of the remaining vest and remaining term, as of the vest/FYE date.

- Strike price is based on each grant date closing price and share price is based on each vest/FYE closing price.

- Risk free rate is based on the Treasury Constant Maturity rate closest to the remaining expected life as of the vest/FYE date.

- Due to the limited trading history of our Ordinary shares, the expected volatility was derived from the average historical share volatilities based on peer group public companies over a period equivalent to the options expected terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Non-PEO NEOs reflect the average Summary Compensation Table total compensation and average Compensation Actually Paid for the following executives for each of the years presented: Stephen Walker, Eldad Maniv, Lior Golan and Kristy Sundjaja.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Mr. Singolda's 2025 and 2023 RSU grants were subject to shareholder approval which were obtained on June 4, 2025 and June 1, 2023, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The amounts reported for fiscal year 2024 have been revised from those previously disclosed in last year's proxy statement to include Ms. Sundjaja and Mses. Golan and Maniv's 2024 equity awards that were inadvertently omitted.

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of our Ordinary shares to file with the SEC reports of their initial ownership and changes to such ownership. Based solely on a review of copies of reports filed during the year ended December 31, 2025 and related representations, we believe that all required Section 16(a) reports were filed on a timely basis, except that, on March 5, 2025, College Top Holdings, Inc. filed an amended Form 3 to include their Non-voting Ordinary shares, which are not registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, that were inadvertently omitted in the original Form 3 filed in January 2023.

We expect the next advisory vote on executive compensation will occur at the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders.

**RESOLVED, that the compensation of Taboola's named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the SEC's compensation disclosure rules, as set forth in this Proxy Statement under the heading "Executive Compensation," including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and related material, is approved on an advisory basis.**

PROPOSAL 3:

### Approval of the Compensation Policy for the Company's Executive Officers and Directors
BACKGROUND

Under the Companies Law 5759-1999 ("Companies Law"), companies incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel are required to adopt a policy governing the compensation of "office holders" (as defined in the Companies Law). The adoption, amendment or restatement of compensation policies is to be recommended by the Compensation Committee and approved by the board of directors (the "Board") and shareholders.

In June 2021, the Company adopted the Compensation Policy for the Company's executive officers and directors ("Compensation Policy"), in connection with the Company's Initial Public Offering ("IPO"). The Compensation Policy was in effect for a period of five years from the Company's IPO and will expire in June 2026. Following this five-year period, our Compensation Policy, as required by the Companies Law, must be reviewed from time to time by the Compensation Committee and the Board, to ensure alignment with the Company's compensation philosophy and to assess its appropriateness for the Company. The Compensation Policy is required to be brought for re-approval by our shareholders at least once in every three years.

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will be asked to approve the Compensation Policy (as proposed to be updated), attached hereto as Exhibit A, for an additional period of three years.

In April 2026, the Board of Directors, following the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved the renewal of the Compensation Policy in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Compensation Policy is being brought for shareholder approval in the form so approved, with no substantive changes other than the amendment to Section 13.2 reflected in Exhibit A and described below. Following its review, the Compensation Committee and the Board recommend amending Section 13.2 of the Compensation Policy to refine the methodology for calculating the Company's Fair Market Value ("FMV") for purposes of the annual equity-based compensation caps. Rather than using a single-day valuation, the FMV will be based on a 60-day average to mitigate short-term market volatility. In addition, the Board and the Compensation Committee will have discretion to make equitable adjustments to this average in the event of significant corporate actions (e.g., share buybacks or capital raises) to ensure that the valuation remains fair and accurate.

In recommending and approving the Compensation Policy, the Board and Compensation Committee considered the various factors set forth in the Companies Law, and reviewed various data and other information they deemed relevant, including, among others: (i) promoting the Company's objectives, business plan and long-term policy; (ii) creating appropriate incentives for our office holders, considering, among other issues, the Company's risk management policy; (iii) the Company's size and nature of operations; and (iv) with respect to variable elements of compensation, the office holder's contribution to achieving corporate objectives and increasing profits, with a long-term view and in accordance with his or her role.

&nbsp;&nbsp;**The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote FOR this proposal.**<br>

The shareholder vote on this matter is binding under Israeli law and not advisory, unlike our "say-on-pay" proposal, which is advisory.

PROPOSAL

It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Annual Meeting:

#### RESOLVED , to approve the Compensation Policy for the Company's executive officers and directors as detailed in the proxy statement, dated April [\*], 2026.
Taboola 41 2026 Proxy Statement

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
REQUIRED VOTE

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy and voting on the foregoing resolution is required.

Additionally, the proposal is subject to the fulfillment of one of the following additional voting requirements (the "Special Majority"): (i) the majority of the shares that are voted at the Annual Meeting in favor of such proposal, excluding abstentions, including a majority of the votes of shareholders who are not controlling shareholders or do not have a personal interest in the approval of such proposal (an "Interested Shareholder"); or (ii) the total number of shares of the shareholders mentioned in clause (i) above that are voted against the proposal does not exceed two percent (2%) of the total voting rights in the Company.

OVERRULE

Pursuant to Section 267(a) of the Israeli Companies Law, a company's board of directors may approve a compensation policy even if it was rejected by the shareholders. This "overrule" is permitted if the Compensation Committee and the Board, following a renewed discussion, determine with detailed reasoning that adopting the policy remains in the best interest of the company despite the shareholder opposition.

PROPOSAL 4:

### Approval of the Compensation Terms for our Chief Executive Officer (and Director)
BACKGROUND

Under the Companies Law, public companies incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel are required to have the compensation terms of their Chief Executive Officer approved by the compensation committee, the board of directors, and by the shareholders, all in accordance with the Companies Law.

In April 2021, the Company initially approved the compensation terms for Mr. Singolda, which were subsequently amended and approved by shareholders in December 2021, June 2023 and June 2025 (the "Compensation Terms"). The Compensation Terms are in effect for a period of five years from the Company's IPO and will expire in June 2026.

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will be asked to approve the Compensation Terms (as described below), attached hereto as Exhibit B, for an additional period of three years.

Mr. Singolda has been our Chief Executive Officer, as well as Director, since he founded the Company in 2007. As Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Mr. Singolda's leadership, extensive experience and business acumen have been critical to our success, and he has been instrumental in the development of the Company's technology and the execution of our strategy.

Mr. Singolda's current compensation package, as approved by shareholders on April 18, 2021, and subsequently amended and approved by our shareholders on December 14, 2021, June 1, 2023 and June 4, 2025, includes the following terms:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Annual base salary of $590,000 with annual salary increase of up to 5% subject to Compensation Committee and Board approval;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Annual target bonus of 50%-125% of base salary, with up to 200% of target bonus, payable in cash or equity, of which up to 30% may be paid at the discretion of the Committee and the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Annual equity grant equal to the greater of 900% of base salary or 1.0% of the Company's 60-day average market value, subject to equitable adjustments by the Compensation Committee and Board for corporate events prior to grant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Certain customary social benefits and reimbursement for tax service expenses up to a net amount of $50,000 per annum before grossing up;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) Special achievement bonus of up to 200% of base salary, payable in cash or equity, subject to Compensation Committee and Board approval; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Retirement benefits under Taboola.com Ltd. Executive Severance Plan.

In addition, it is proposed to approve an amendment to Mr. Singolda's annual base salary terms to provide for an annual salary increase of up to 7% (instead of 5%) subject to Compensation Committee and Board approval. If no such increase is granted in a given year, the Compensation Committee may, in any subsequent year and with Board approval, authorize a cumulative increase of up to the increased amounts that potentially could have been, but were not, paid in any prior year. The proposed amendment is intended to provide the Compensation Committee and Board with appropriate flexibility to periodically review and, if deemed appropriate, adjust Mr. Singolda's base salary to reflect market conditions and competitive compensation practices, in a manner consistent with the Company's executive compensation philosophy.

Taboola 43 2026 Proxy Statement

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
As part of a long-term retention plan and in recognition of Mr. Singolda's performance and contribution to the Company, it is proposed to re-approve Mr. Singolda's current compensation terms, which will remain unchanged, other than as described above, for an additional three-year period, effective upon the expiration of the current package.

The Compensation Committee reviewed and considered, and the Board also reviewed and considered, in approving Mr. Singolda's compensation package: (i) the Company's shareholder-supported compensation philosophy; (ii) the Company's shareholder-approved Compensation Policy for Executive Officers and Directors; (iii) the market data and benchmarking analyses presented by the Company's independent compensation advisor, Pearl Meyer; and (iv) the Company's performance, strategic objectives, and the scope and complexity of Mr. Singolda's role and responsibilities.

ISRAELI COMPANIES LAW REQUIREMENT

Under the Companies Law, any arrangement between a company and a Chief Executive Officer who is also a director relating to his or her compensation that is consistent with the Company's compensation policy requires the approval of that Company's Compensation Committee, Board, and shareholders by a simple majority, in that order.

&nbsp;&nbsp;**The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote FOR this proposal.**<br>

The shareholder vote on this matter is binding under Israeli law and not advisory, unlike our "say-on-pay" proposal, which is advisory.

#### PROPOSAL
It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Annual Meeting:

#### RESOLVED , to approve the compensation terms of the Company's Chief Executive Officer (and director) as detailed in the proxy statement, dated April [\*], 2026.

WHO PAYS THE COST FOR SOLICITING PROXIES BY TABOOLA?

Taboola will pay the cost of soliciting proxies including postage, printing, and handling. Taboola may retain a proxy solicitor to assist in the distribution of proxy materials and the solicitation of proxies from brokerage firms, banks, broker-dealers and other similar organizations representing beneficial owners for a fee not expected to exceed approximately $50,000 plus reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses. Proxies may also be solicited by Taboola directors, officers and employees without additional compensation. Taboola will supply proxy materials to brokers and other nominees to solicit proxies from beneficial owners and will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses in forwarding solicitation materials. In addition to solicitation by mail, proxies may be solicited by telephone, email, other means of electronic communication or in person.

WHAT IS HOUSEHOLDING?

Some banks, brokers and other nominee record holders may be "householding" our proxy statements, annual reports and related materials. "Householding" means that only one copy of these documents may have been sent to multiple shareholders in one household. If you would like to receive your own set of Taboola's proxy statements, annual reports and related materials, or if you share an address with another Taboola shareholder and together both of you would like to receive only a single set of these documents, you may (i) contact your bank, broker or other nominee or (ii) direct your written request to our Investor Relations Department at 16 Madison Square West, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10010, 212-206-7633. We agree to deliver promptly, upon written or oral request, a separate copy of the proxy materials, as requested, to any shareholder at the shared address to which a single copy of those documents was delivered.

MAY I CHANGE MY VOTE?

If you are a registered shareholder, you may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted by notifying the Secretary in writing, by returning a signed proxy with a later date, by submitting an electronic proxy as of a later date or by virtually attending the Annual Meeting and voting online during the Annual Meeting. If your shares are held in "street name," you must contact your bank, broker or other nominee for instructions on changing your vote.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A QUORUM?

Under our Articles of Association, the Annual Meeting will be properly convened if at least two shareholders attend the Annual Meeting in person or sign and return proxies, provided that they hold Ordinary shares representing at least 33<sup>1</sup>∕3% of our voting power. If such quorum is not present within half an hour from the time scheduled for the Annual Meeting, the Annual Meeting will be adjourned to the same time on June 11, 2026. At such adjourned meeting the presence of at least one or more shareholders in person or by proxy (regardless of the voting power represented by their Ordinary shares) will constitute a quorum.

Taboola 49 2026 Proxy Statement

------

WHAT VOTE IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE EACH ITEM?

For Proposal 1: Any director nominee is elected by a majority of the votes cast. This means that the number of votes cast "FOR" a director nominee must exceed the number of votes cast "AGAINST" the nominee. If the director nominee receives more votes cast "FOR" their election than "AGAINST" they will be elected as a Class II director to serve until the 2029 annual meeting of shareholders and until their respective successor is duly elected and qualified. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal 1.

For Proposals 2, 4 and 5: The "FOR" vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy entitled to vote and voting on such proposal is required. Abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of these proposals. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of Proposals 2 and 4.

For Proposal 3: The "FOR" vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy excluding abstentions, including a majority of the votes of shareholders who are not controlling shareholders or do not have a personal interest (an "Interested Shareholder") in the approval of such proposal; or (ii) the total number of shares of the shareholders mentioned in clause (i) above that voted against the proposal does not exceed two percent (2%) of the total voting shares in the Company is required. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal 3.

HOW IS THE VOTE COUNTED?

Votes cast by proxy or at the Annual Meeting will be counted by the persons appointed by Taboola to act as tellers for the Annual Meeting.

Stock exchange rules permit a broker to vote shares held in a brokerage account on certain proposals if the broker does not receive voting instructions from you. Stock exchange and SEC rules, however, prohibit brokers from voting uninstructed shares in the case of election of directors, executive compensation matters and shareholder proposals. Accordingly, of the matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, we believe the only proposal on which brokers will have discretionary voting authority is the re-appointment of independent auditors (Proposal 5).

WHERE IS THE MEETING HELD?

The Annual Meeting will be conducted solely via live audio webcast at: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TBLA2026.

You will be able to participate, submit questions and vote your shares electronically. To do so, you will need to visit www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TBLA2026 and use the 16-digit control number provided with the voting instructions.

Please allow ample time for the online check-in process. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting during the check-in or meeting time, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the login page hosting the virtual meeting.

HOW DO I SUBMIT A QUESTION AT THE ANNUAL MEETING?

If you wish to submit a question on the day of the Annual Meeting, beginning at 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) / 4:00 p.m. (Israel Time) on June 9, 2026, you may login and ask a question at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TBLA2026.

The Annual Meeting guidelines will address the ability of shareholders to ask questions during the Annual Meeting, including rules on permissible topics, and rules for how questions and comments will be recognized and disclosed to Annual Meeting participants.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE ANNUAL MEETING IS POSTPONED OR ADJOURNED?

Your proxy may be voted at the postponed or adjourned meeting. You will still be able to change your proxy until it is voted.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.  **<u>Overview and Objectives</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. **Introduction** 

This document sets forth the Compensation Policy for Executive Officers and Directors (this "**Compensation Policy**" or "**Policy**") of Taboola.com Ltd. ("**Taboola**" or the "**Company**"), in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Law, 5759-1999 and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the "**Companies Law**").

Compensation is a key component of Taboola's overall human capital strategy to attract, retain, reward, and motivate highly skilled individuals that will enhance Taboola's value and otherwise assist Taboola to reach its business and financial long-term goals. Accordingly, the structure of this Policy is established to tie the compensation of each officer to Taboola's goals and performance.

For purposes of this Policy, "Executive Officers" shall mean "Office Holders" as such term is defined in Section 1 of the Companies Law, excluding, unless otherwise expressly indicated herein, Taboola's directors.

This policy is subject to applicable law and is not intended, and should not be interpreted as limiting or derogating from, provisions of applicable law to the extent not permitted.

This Policy shall apply to compensation agreements and arrangements which will be approved after the date on which this Policy is adopted and shall serve as Taboola's Compensation Policy for five three (5 3) years, commencing as of its adoption, unless amended earlier.

The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors of Taboola (the "**Compensation Committee**" and the "**Board**", respectively) shall review and reassess the adequacy of this Policy from time to time, as required by the Companies Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. **Objectives** 

Taboola's objectives and goals in setting this Policy are to attract, motivate and retain highly experienced leaders who will contribute to Taboola's success and enhance shareholder value, while demonstrating professionalism in a highly achievement-oriented culture that is based on merit and rewards excellent performance in the long term, and embedding Taboola's core values as part of a motivated behavior. To that end, this Policy is designed, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1. To closely align the interests of the Executive Officers with those of Taboola's shareholders in order to enhance shareholder value;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2. To align a significant portion of the Executive Officers' compensation with Taboola's short and long-term goals and performance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3. To provide the Executive Officers with a structured compensation package, including competitive salaries, performance-motivating cash and equity incentive programs and benefits, and to be able to present to each Executive Officer an opportunity to advance in a growing organization;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4. To strengthen the retention and the motivation of Executive Officers in the long-term;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5. To provide appropriate awards in order to incentivize superior individual excellency and corporate performance; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.6. To maintain consistency in the way Executive Officers are compensated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. **Compensation Instruments** 

Compensation instruments under this Policy may include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. Base salary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2. Benefits;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3. Cash bonuses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4. Equity based compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5. Change of control terms; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.6. Retirement and termination terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. **Overall Compensation - Ratio Between Fixed and Variable Compensation** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1. This Policy aims to balance the mix of "Fixed Compensation" (comprised of base salary and benefits) and "Variable Compensation" (comprised of cash bonuses and equity-based compensation) in order to, among other things, appropriately incentivize Executive Officers to meet Taboola's short and long-term goals while taking into consideration the Company's need to manage a variety of business risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2. The total annual target bonus and equity-based compensation per vesting annum (based on the fair market value at the time of grant calculated on a liner basis) of each Executive Officer shall not exceed 95% of such Executive Officer's total compensation package for such year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **Inter-Company Compensation Ratio** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.1. In the process of drafting and updating this Policy, Taboola's Board and Compensation Committee have examined the ratio between employer cost associated with the engagement of the Executive Officers, including directors, and the average and median employer cost associated with the engagement of Taboola's other employees (including contractor employees as defined in the Companies Law) (the "**Ratio** ").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2. The possible ramifications of the Ratio on the daily working environment in Taboola were examined and will continue to be examined by Taboola from time to time 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 Taboola.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.  **<u>Base Salary and Benefits</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **Base Salary** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.1. A base salary provides stable compensation to Executive Officers and allows Taboola to attract and retain competent executive talent and maintain a stable management team. The base salary varies among Executive Officers, and is individually determined according to the educational background, prior vocational experience, qualifications, company's role, business responsibilities and the past performance of each Executive Officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.2. Since a competitive base salary is essential to Taboola's ability to attract and retain highly skilled professionals, Taboola will seek to establish a base salary that is competitive with base salaries paid to Executive Officers in a peer group of other companies operating in technology sectors which are similar in their characteristics to Taboola's, as much as possible, while considering, among others, such companies' size and characteristics including their revenues, profitability rate, growth rates, market capitalization,

number of employees and operating arena (in Israel or globally), the list of which shall be reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee annually. To that end, Taboola shall utilize as a reference, comparative market data and practices, which will include a compensation survey that compares and analyses the level of the overall compensation package offered to an Executive Officer of the Company with compensation packages in similar positions (to that of the relevant officer) in such companies. Such compensation survey may be conducted internally or through an external independent consultant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.3. The Compensation Committee and the Board may periodically consider and approve base salary adjustments for Executive Officers. The main considerations for salary adjustment are similar to those used in initially determining the base salary, but may also include change of role or responsibilities, recognition for professional achievements, regulatory or contractual requirements, budgetary constraints or market trends. The Compensation Committee and the Board will also consider the previous and existing compensation arrangements of the Executive Officer whose base salary is being considered for adjustment. Any limitation herein based on the annual base salary shall be calculated based, if applicable, on the monthly base salary applicable at the time of consideration of the respective grant or benefit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **Benefits** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.1. The following benefits may be granted to the Executive Officers in order, among other things, to comply with legal requirements:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.1.1. Vacation days in accordance with market practice;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.1.2. Sick days in accordance with market practice;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.1.3. Convalescence pay according to applicable law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.1.4. Monthly remuneration for a study fund, as allowed by applicable law and with reference to Taboola's practice and the practice in peer group companies (including contributions on bonus payments);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.1.5. Taboola shall contribute on behalf of the Executive Officer to an insurance policy or a pension fund, as allowed by applicable law and with reference to Taboola's policies and procedures and the practice in peer group companies (including contributions on bonus payments); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.1.6. Taboola shall contribute on behalf of the Executive Officer towards work disability insurance, as allowed by applicable law and with reference to Taboola's policies and procedures and to the practice in peer group companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.2. Non-Israeli Executive Officers may receive other similar, comparable or customary benefits as applicable in the relevant jurisdiction in which they are employed. Such customary benefits shall be determined based on the methods described in Section 6.2 of this Policy (with the necessary changes and adjustments).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.3. In events of relocation or repatriation of an Executive Officer to another geography, such Executive Officer may receive other similar, comparable or customary benefits as applicable in the relevant jurisdiction in which he or she is employed or additional payments to reflect adjustments in cost of living. Such benefits may include reimbursement for out-of-pocket one-time payments and other ongoing expenses, such as housing allowance, car allowance, and home leave visit, etc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.4. Taboola may offer additional benefits to its Executive Officers, which will be comparable to customary market practices, such as, but not limited to: cellular and land line phone benefits, company car and travel benefits, reimbursement of business travel including a daily stipend when traveling and other business related expenses, insurances, other benefits (such as newspaper subscriptions, academic and professional studies), etc., provided, however, that such additional benefits shall be determined in accordance with Taboola's policies and procedures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **Annual Cash Bonuses - The Objective** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.1. Compensation in the form of an annual cash bonus is an important element in aligning the Executive Officers' compensation with Taboola's objectives and business goals. Therefore, annual cash bonuses will reflect a pay-for-performance element, with payout eligibility and levels determined based on actual financial and operational results, in addition to other factors the Compensation Committee may determine, including individual performance.

The Compensation Committee and the Board shall also determine applicable minimum thresholds that must be met for entitlement to the annual cash bonus (all or any portion thereof) and the formula for calculating any annual cash bonus payout, with respect to each fiscal year, for each Executive Officer. In special circumstances, as determined by the Compensation Committee and the Board (e.g., regulatory changes, significant changes in Taboola's business environment, a significant organizational change, a significant merger and acquisition events etc.), the Compensation Committee and the Board may modify the objectives and/or their relative weights during the fiscal year, or may modify payouts following the conclusion of the year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.3. In the event the employment of an Executive Officer is terminated prior to the end of a fiscal year, the Company may (but shall not be obligated to) pay such Executive Officer an annual cash bonus (which may or may not be pro-rated).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.5.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D.  **<u>Equity Based Compensation</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **The Objective** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.1. The equity-based compensation for Taboola's Executive Officers will be designed in a manner consistent with the underlying objectives of the Company in determining the base salary and the annual cash bonus, with its main objectives being to enhance the alignment between the Executive Officers' interests with the long-term interests of Taboola and its shareholders, and to strengthen the retention and the motivation of Executive Officers in the long term. In addition, since equity-based awards are structured to vest over several years, their incentive value to recipients is aligned with longer-term strategic plans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.2. The equity-based compensation offered by Taboola is intended to be in a form of share options and/or other equity-based awards, such as RSUs or performance stock units, in accordance with the Company's equity incentive plan in place as may be updated from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.3. All equity-based incentives granted to Executive Officers (other than bonuses paid in equity in lieu of cash) shall normally be subject to vesting periods in order to promote long-term retention of the awarded Executive Officers. Unless determined otherwise in a specific award agreement or in a specific compensation plan approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board, grants to Executive Officers other than non-employee directors shall vest based on time, gradually over a period of at least 2-4 years, or based on performance. In addition, with respect to any newly appointed Executive Officer, the vesting terms of any "new hire", "replacement" or "sign-on" grants may have shorter vesting periods, including those that match those of any equity or similar incentives forfeited by such incoming Executive Officer in connection with his or her departure from his or her former employer. The exercise price of options shall be determined in accordance with Taboola's policies, the main terms of which shall be disclosed in the annual report of Taboola.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.4. All other terms of the equity awards shall be in accordance with Taboola's incentive plans and other related practices and policies. Accordingly, the Board may, following approval by the Compensation Committee, make modifications to such awards consistent with the terms of such incentive plans, subject to any additional approval as may be required by the Companies Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. **General Guidelines for the Grant of Awards** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.1. The equity-based compensation shall be granted from time to time and be individually determined and awarded according to the performance, educational background, prior business experience, qualifications, role and the personal responsibilities of the Executive Officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.2. In determining the equity-based compensation granted to each Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee and the Board shall consider the factors specified in Section 13.1 above, and in any event, the total fair market value of an annual equity-based compensation at the time of grant (not including bonuses paid in equity in lieu of cash) shall not exceed: (i) with respect to the CEO - the higher of (w) 900% of his or her annual base salary or (x) 1% of the Company's 60-day average fair market value subject to equitable adjustment as determined by the Compensation Committee and the Board, in their discretion, in the event of

<u>any share buybacks, acquisitions, spin-offs, capital raises or other similar events preceding the date of grant (the "Annual Equity Award") in a form to be determined at the time of each Annual Equity Award</u>; and (ii) with respect to each of the other Executive Officers - the higher of (y) 900% of his or her annual base salary or (z) 1% of the Company's <u>60-day average</u> fair market value <u>subject to equitable adjustment as determined by the Compensation Committee and the Board, in their discretion, in the event of any share buybacks, acquisitions, spin-offs, capital raises or other similar events preceding the date of grant in a form to be determined at the time of each Annual Equity Award</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.3. The fair market value of the equity-based compensation for the Executive Officers will be determined by multiplying the number of shares underlying the grant by the market price of Taboola's ordinary shares on or around the time of the grant or according to other acceptable valuation practices at the time of grant, in each case, as determined by the Compensation Committee and the Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.4. The Company may satisfy tax withholding obligations related to equity-based compensation by net issuance, sale to cover or any other mechanism as determined by the Board from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. **Advanced Notice Period** 

Taboola may provide an Executive Officer, other than the CEO, according to his/her seniority in the Company, his/her contribution to the Company's goals and achievements and the circumstances of retirement and the CEO a prior notice of termination of up to twelve (12) months in the case of the CEO and twelve (12) months in the case of other Executive Officers, during which the Executive Officer may be entitled to all of the compensation elements, and to the continuation of vesting of his/her equity-based compensation. Such advance notice may or may not be provided in addition to severance, provided, however, that the Compensation Committee shall take into consideration the Executive Officer's entitlement to advance notice in establishing any entitlement to severance and vice versa.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. **Adjustment Period** 

Taboola may provide an additional adjustment period of up to twenty-four (24) months to the CEO and any other Executive Officer according to his/her seniority in the Company, his/her contribution to the Company's goals and achievements and the circumstances of retirement, during which the Executive Officer may be entitled to all of the compensation elements, and to the continuation of vesting of his/her equity-based compensation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. **Additional Retirement and Termination Benefits** 

Taboola may provide an additional cash bonus equal to (a) for the CEO, the product of (i) the sum of (x) the CEO's base salary plus (y) the higher of the CEO's target bonus and actual bonus as determined over the prior two years multiplied by (ii) 200%; and (b) for all other Executive Officer's, the product of (i) the sum of (x) the Executive Officer's base salary plus (y) the higher of the Executive Officer's target bonus and actual bonus as determined over the prior two years multiplied by (ii) 200%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21. **Insurance and Indemnification**

The Insurance Policy, as well as the limit of liability and the premium for each extension or renewal shall be approved by the Compensation Committee (and, if required by law, by the Board) which shall determine that the sums are reasonable considering the Company's exposures covered under such policy, the scope of cover and the market conditions, and that the Insurance Policy reflects the current market conditions and that it shall not materially affect the Company's profitability, assets or liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21.4. Taboola may extend the Insurance Policy in place to include cover for liability pursuant to a future public offering of securities as follows:

The fair market value of the equity-based compensation for Taboola's non-employee Board members will be determined by multiplying the number of shares underlying the grant by the market price of Taboola's ordinary shares on or around the time of the grant or according to other acceptable valuation practices at the time of grant, in each case, as determined by the Compensation Committee and the Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;23.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 22 above, in special circumstances, such as in the case of a professional director, an expert director or a director who makes a unique contribution to the Company, such director's compensation may be different than the compensation of all other directors and may be greater than the maximal amount allowed under Section 22.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25. All terms of the equity awards shall be in accordance with Taboola's incentive plans and other related practices and policies. Accordingly, the Board may, following approval by the Compensation Committee, make modifications to such awards consistent with the terms of such incentive plans, subject to any additional approval as may be required by the Companies Law. In addition, the Company may satisfy tax withholding obligations related to equity-based compensation granted to directors by net issuance, sale to cover or any other mechanism as determined by the Board from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26. In addition, members of Taboola's Board may be entitled to reimbursement of expenses in connection with the performance of their duties.
