#### Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry
***The IT security market is rapidly evolving within the increasingly challenging cyber threat landscape. If our solutions fail to adapt to market changes and demands, sales may not continue to grow or may decline.***

We offer identity security solutions, centered on privileged access, that safeguard privileged accounts' credentials and secrets, secure access across both human and non-human identities, and manage entitlements and secure access to cloud environments. If customers do not recognize the benefit of our solutions as a critical layer of an effective security strategy, our revenues may decline, which could cause our share price to decrease in value. Security solutions such as ours, which aim to disrupt cyberattacks by insiders and external perpetrators that have penetrated an organization's IT environment, represent a security layer designed to respond to advanced threats and provide more rigorous compliance standards and audit requirements. However, advanced cyber attackers are skilled at adapting to new technologies and developing new methods of gaining access to organizations' sensitive data and technology assets. We expect that our customers, and thereby our solutions, will face new and increasingly sophisticated methods of attack, particularly given the increasing complexity of IT environments, increased attacks from foreign nation-state actors and the proliferation of privileged access across identities. We face significant challenges in ensuring that our solutions effectively identify and respond to sophisticated attacks while avoiding disruption to our customers' businesses. As a result, we must continually modify, improve, and invest in our products and services in response to market and technology trends and evolvement, including obtaining interoperability with existing or newly introduced technologies and systems, to ensure we are meeting market needs and continuing to provide valuable solutions that can be deployed in a variety of IT environments, including cloud and hybrid.

We cannot guarantee that we will be able to anticipate future market needs and opportunities, or be able to develop or acquire product enhancements or new products or services to meet such needs or opportunities in a timely manner or at all. Additionally, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to comply with new regulatory requirements (see "—The dynamic regulatory environment around privacy and data protection may limit our offering or require modification of our products and services, which could limit our ability to attract new customers and support our current customers and increase our operational expenses. We could also be subject to investigations, litigation, or enforcement actions alleging that we fail to comply with regulatory requirements, which could harm our operating results and adversely affect our business."). Furthermore, new technologies and solutions that may make our solutions obsolete may be introduced into the market, lowering the demand for our products and reducing our sales. Even if we are able to anticipate, develop and commercially introduce new features and products and ongoing enhancements to our existing products, there can be no assurance that such enhancements or new solutions will achieve widespread market acceptance. Delays in developing, completing or delivering new or enhanced solutions could cause our offerings to be less competitive, impair customer acceptance of our solutions and result in delayed or reduced revenue and share price decline.

***Our quarterly results of operations may fluctuate for a variety of reasons. We may, as a result, fail to meet publicly announced financial guidance or other expectations about our business, which could cause our ordinary shares to decline in value.***

We began transitioning our business to a subscription model in January 2021, reaching our subscription selling goals in the first quarter of 2022. We continue to offer our customers multiple software and delivery models. We recognize revenue differently based on the composition of the selected offering. Specifically, we recognize revenue from the license portion of self-hosted subscriptions upon the commencement of the subscription period. The revenue recognition associated with the license portion of self-hosted subscription within a certain quarter is impacted by the duration of the contract. We recognize revenue from SaaS subscriptions and from maintenance services for self-hosted subscription or perpetual licenses ratably, over the period of the subscription or maintenance contract. While a relatively small and declining percentage of our bookings are from perpetual licenses this revenue is recognized upon delivery. The mix of our subscription and perpetual bookings and the mix of self-hosted and SaaS subscriptions in any given quarter may be difficult to predict and may cause trends in revenue recognition to lag those in sales, potentially causing us to fall short of investor expectations for revenue even while meeting or exceeding periodic sales targets.

A meaningful portion of our quarterly revenues is typically generated through transactions of significant size, and purchases of our solutions and services often occur at the end of each quarter. We also experience quarterly and annual seasonality in our sales, demonstrated by increased sales in the third month of each quarter relative to the first two months, and increased sales in the fourth quarter of each year. The timing in which SaaS deals close may further exacerbate the seasonality impact on reported revenues due to the ratable recognition. In addition, our sales cycle can be intensely competitive and last several quarters from proof of concept to the actual sale and initial delivery of our solutions to our customers. The sales cycle can be even longer, less predictable and more resource-intensive for larger sales, or with customers implementing complex digital transformation strategies or facing a complex set of compliance and user requirements. Customers may require additional internal committee or executive approvals, extensive security reviews, longer product trial periods and prolonged contract negotiation before making a final purchase, all of which has intensified with the increased volume of SaaS transactions, which are subject to even greater scrutiny.

------

At times, sales have occurred in a quarter that was either earlier than, or subsequent to, the anticipated quarter, and some sale opportunities that were expected to close did not close at all. A failure to close a large transaction in a particular quarter may adversely impact our revenues in that quarter and, in case of a large subscription transaction pending, may adversely impact our revenues and cash flow in subsequent quarters. Closing an exceptionally large transaction in a certain quarter may disproportionately increase our revenues in that quarter, which may make it more difficult for us to meet growth rate expectations in subsequent quarters. Furthermore, even if we close a sale during a given quarter, we may be unable to recognize the revenues derived from such sale during the same period due to our revenue recognition policy. As a result of the foregoing factors, the timing of closing sales cycles and the associated revenue from such sales can be difficult to predict and may cause us to miss our guidance or fall short of market expectations. This may result in the decline of the price of our ordinary shares.

In addition, our results of operations may continue to vary as a result of a number of other factors, many of which may be outside of our control or difficult to predict, including:

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; our ability to attract new customers and to retain existing customers by and through renewals of maintenance services and subscriptions (see "—If we are unable to acquire new customers or sell additional products and services to our existing customers, our future revenues and operating results will be harmed.");

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the amount and timing of our operating costs and cash collection, which may vary also as a result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates or changes in taxes or other applicable regulations (see "—We are exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which could negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations.");

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the rate at which our customers fully deploy their purchased solutions, and our ability to sell additional solutions and services to current customers;

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the impact of economic, social, or political conditions, including conditions resulting from a decline in the macroeconomic environment, rising interest rates, exchange rate fluctuations, and inflation, and the resulting effect on the demand for our solutions and on our expected revenue growth rates and costs (see "—Prolonged economic uncertainties or downturns, globally or in certain regions or industries, could materially adversely affect our business.").

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the ability of our support and customer success operations to keep pace with sales to new and existing customers and the expansion of our solution portfolio and to satisfy customer demands for consultancy and professional services;

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; our ability to successfully expand our business globally;

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the release, timing, and success of new product and service introductions by us or our competitors or any other change in the competitive landscape of the cybersecurity market, including consolidation among our competitors;

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the introduction of new accounting pronouncements or changes in our accounting policies or practices;

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; changes in our pricing policies or those of our competitors;

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the size and discretionary nature of our prospective and existing customers' IT budgets; and

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ongoing effects from the COVID-19 pandemic or other public health crises, and the global economic changes caused by it (see "—The COVID-19 pandemic, measures taken in response to it and the resulting global economic environment have adversely affected, and may adversely affect in the future, our business, financial condition, and results of operations.");

Any of these factors, individually or in the aggregate, may result in significant fluctuations in our financial and other operating results. These fluctuations could result in our failure to meet our operating plan or the expectations of investors or analysts for any given period. Such failures may cause the market price of our ordinary shares to substantially decrease.

------

***If we are unable to acquire new customers or sell additional products and services to our existing customers, our future revenues and operating results will be harmed.***

Our success and continued growth will depend, in part, on our ability to acquire a sufficient number of new customers while maintaining and expanding our revenues from existing customers, by renewing contracts for our solutions and selling incremental or new solutions to existing customers. If we are unable to succeed in such efforts, we will likely be unable to generate revenue growth at desired or projected rates. In addition, competition in the industry may lead us to acquire fewer new customers or result in us providing more favorable commercial terms to new or existing customers. Macroeconomic effects may also affect our ability to maintain our customer base and expand it, while also impacting our renewal rates and associated annual cost increases.

As we expand our market reach to gain new business, including entering the Access Management market, securing DevOps environments, and expanding into Cloud Privilege Security, we may experience difficulties in gaining traction and raising awareness among potential customers or in maintaining a market leadership position and obtaining industry analyst recognition, or we may face more competitive pressure in such markets. As a result, it may be difficult for us to add new customers to our customer base, retain our existing customers and generate increased growth from sales of these solutions.

With our ongoing introduction of new solutions to meet market demands, our sales, research and development, support and customer success and IT teams may have difficulties selling, supporting and maintaining multiple license models and code bases. These may lead to lower rates of software sales, longer sales cycles, customer dissatisfaction, lower renewal rates and a reduction in our ability to sell add-on business to customers or gain new customers. Further, as part of the natural lifecycle of our solutions, we may determine that certain products will be reaching their end of development or end of life and will no longer be supported or receive updates and security patches. Failure to effectively introduce new solutions or manage our product lifecycles could lead to increased expenses, existing customer dissatisfaction and contractual liabilities.

Further, any changes in compliance standards or audit requirements that reduce the priority for the types of controls, security, monitoring and analysis that our solutions provide would adversely impact demand for our solutions. Additional factors that impact our ability to acquire new customers or sell additional products and services to our existing customers include the consumption of their past purchases, a reduction in the perceived need for IT security, the size or prioritization of our prospective and existing customers' IT budgets, the utility and efficacy of our existing and new offerings, whether proven or perceived, changes in our pricing or licensing models that may impact the size of new business transactions, a downgrade of our recognized industry leadership position by industry analysts and general economic conditions. These factors may have a material negative impact on future revenues and operating results.

***We face intense competition from a wide variety of IT security vendors operating in different market segments and across diverse IT environments. This may challenge our ability to maintain or improve our competitive position or to meet planned growth rates.***

The IT Security market in which we operate is characterized by intense competition, constant innovation, rapid adoption of different technological solutions and services, and evolving security threats. We compete with multiple established and emerging companies that offer a broad array of cybersecurity products and employ different approaches and delivery models. Specifically, our Identity Security Platform competes across a variety of markets and competitors, including, but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Privileged Access Management (PAM), including Endpoint Privilege Management, such as Delinea and BeyondTrust;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Identity and Access Management, such as Okta and Microsoft; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Secrets Management (including broad DevOps solutions), such as Hashi Corporation.

The IT Security market's maturity and growth could also make it appealing for new players, such as large or emerging cybersecurity vendors or those in related markets (Endpoint, Cloud Security, DevOps or Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)), to enter markets where we specialize. Additionally, potential consolidation among cybersecurity vendors may create an opportunity for our competitors to provide a greater breadth of offerings, including more integrations and bundled products. This may create a competitive disadvantage, regardless of the performance and features of our offerings if customers prefer to utilize one vendor for multiple cybersecurity capabilities. Furthermore, organizations continuously evaluate their security priorities and investments and may allocate their IT security budgets to other solutions and strategies, including solutions offered by our competitors, and may not adopt or expand use of our solutions. Accordingly, we may also compete for budget priority, to a certain extent, with other cybersecurity solutions offered by Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, and CrowdStrike Holdings.

------

In particular, our competitors may enjoy potential competitive advantages, such as greater name recognition and longer operating history; larger sales, marketing, research and acquisition resources; access to larger channel partner and customer bases; lower labor and development costs; lower product pricing; increased effectiveness in protecting, detecting and responding to cyberattacks; greater or localized resources for customer support and provision of services; greater speed at which a solution can be deployed and implemented; broader product and service offerings, including bundling; greater operational flexibility and less stringent accounting, auditing and legal standards, applicable to privately held companies; and greater financial and technical resources which may result in a larger intellectual property portfolio.

Our current and potential competitors may also establish collaborations or alliances among themselves or with third parties that may further enhance their resources and capabilities. Our collaborative efforts with our technology partners could also change if they develop and market competitive solutions, thus intensifying the competitive landscape, while adversely affecting our partnership efforts and their resale and marketing of our products. If we are not able to compete effectively under these circumstances, this may result in price reductions, fewer orders, reduced renewals, reduced revenue and gross margins, and loss of market share. Any failure to adequately address these factors could seriously harm our business and operating results.

***Real or perceived security vulnerabilities and gaps in our solutions or services or the failure of our customers or third parties to correctly implement, manage and maintain our solutions, may result in significant reputational, financial, and legal adverse impact.***

Security products, solutions and services such as ours are complex in development, design and deployment and may contain errors, bugs, gaps, design failures, misconfigurations or security vulnerabilities, some of which are potentially incapable of being remediated or detected until after their deployment, if at all. Any real or perceived errors, bugs, gaps, design failures, defects, vulnerabilities, misconfigurations in our solutions or their accompanying documentation, or untimely or insufficient remediation thereof, could cause our solutions not to meet their specifications or security standards. The affected solutions may not fulfil their primary security functions, falsely identify threats or create new security threats, and be vulnerable to security attacks. There is no guarantee that our products would be free of flaws or vulnerabilities at all times and we may not correct all known vulnerabilities, gaps or errors promptly, or at all.

Further, our solutions serve as mission-critical applications in our customers' operational environments, allowing them to manage access and privileges in their systems and networks. Any breach, interruption or shut down of our solutions could significantly damage customers' internal and external operations, and therefore we may suffer significant reputational, financial and legal adverse impact. Potential vulnerabilities or deficiencies associated with a product developed or obtained through an acquisition could also deteriorate our solutions' security and expose our customers to additional risk (see "—We may fail to fully execute, integrate, or realize the benefits expected from acquisitions, which may require significant management attention, disrupt our business, dilute shareholder value and adversely affect our results of operations.").

Several of our solutions are made available to our customers as SaaS. Delivering software as a service involves storage and transmission of customers' proprietary information, including personal data, related to their assets, employees and users. Security breaches, bugs, vulnerabilities, gaps, defects or improper configuration of our solutions, cloud accounts or production and development environments (including those embedded in third-party technology used in our products or by our customers) could result in loss or alteration of, or unauthorized access to this data and compromise of our networks or our customers' networks secured by our SaaS solutions. Any such incident, whether or not caused by us, could result in significant liability or reputational harm.

Our solutions not only reinforce but also rely on the common security concept of placing multiple layers of security controls throughout an IT environment. The failure of our customers, channel partners, managed service providers, subcontractors or similar entities to correctly implement or effectively manage and maintain our solutions and the environments in which they are utilized, or to consistently implement and utilize generally accepted and comprehensive, multi-layered security measures and processes, may lessen the efficacy of our solutions, in whole or in part. These entities may also independently develop or change existing application programming interfaces (APIs) that we provide or other customizable components in an incorrect or insecure manner. Such failures or actions may lead to security breaches and data loss, which could result in a perception that our solutions or services failed and associated negative business implications. In addition, we are expected to provide high levels of transparency regarding security vulnerabilities in our products, which, once conveyed, may increase our customers' exposure to a security breach until they properly implement the relevant fix. Further, our failure to provide our customers and channel partners with adequate services or accurate product documentation and training related to the use, implementation and maintenance of our solutions, could lead to claims against us.

------

Similarly, a failure by a provider like us to effectively secure and detect threats within our own resources and networks, such as development or customer-serving production environments, could lead to threat actors compromising our customers' environments through a breach or exploitation of our products or services (see "—If our internal IT network systems, or those of our third-party providers, are compromised by cyberattacks or other security incidents, or by a critical system disruption or failure, then our reputation, financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected."). A similar effect could arise from the use of compromised third-party software in or in relation to our products or by third parties such as vendors, which could expose our solutions, networks and environments – and thereby our customers – to additional vulnerabilities and security incidents.

As we increase our developers' workforce globally to meet our business goals, including by engaging external developers or through mergers and acquisitions, the risk of errors, misconfigurations, vulnerabilities or intentional misconduct, may be heightened due to governance difficulties and limited centralized oversight. In addition, difficulties or delays in hiring and retaining personnel may impact the resources available to us for continuous improvement of our product security posture and therefore, increase this risk (see "—The highly competitive cybersecurity labor market has made it a challenge to attract and retain qualified personnel. If we are unable to hire, retain and motivate qualified personnel, our business will suffer.").

An actual or perceived error, bug, misconfiguration, vulnerability, gap, cyberattack or other security breach, regardless of whether the vulnerability or breach is attributable to the failure of our solutions or the related services we provide, could adversely affect the market's perception of the efficacy of our solutions and our industry standing. Such circumstances could cause current or potential customers to look to our competitors for alternatives to our solutions and subject us to negative media attention, reputational harm, lawsuits, regulatory investigations and other government inquiries, indemnity claims and financial losses, as well as the expenditure of significant financial resources to, among other actions, analyze, correct or eliminate any vulnerabilities. Provisions in our agreements that attempt to limit our liability towards our customers, channel partners, and relevant third parties may not withstand legal challenges, and certain liabilities may not be limited or capped. Additionally, any insurance coverage we have may not adequately cover all claims asserted against us and may leave a significant portion of such claims to be directly covered by us. In addition, such insurance may not be available to us in the future on economically reasonable terms, or at all.

***If our IT network systems, or those of our third-party providers, are compromised by cyberattacks or other security incidents, or by a critical system disruption or failure, then our reputation, financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected.***

The security and integrity of our IT network systems and of our third-party providers, and the perception thereof, is critical to our ability to deliver products and services to customers as well as to run internal operations. While we operate certain of these network systems, we also rely on third-party providers across an array of technologies and services that enable us to conduct, monitor and/or protect our business operations. For example, we rely on third parties to host our SaaS products (see "—We increasingly rely on third-party providers of cloud infrastructure services to deliver our SaaS solutions to customers, and any disruption of or interference with our use of these services, including any specifications limitations***,*** could adversely affect our business.") and support our customer relationship management and financial operation services (provided by our Enterprise Resource Planning system). In addition, in the ordinary course of business, we and our third-party providers generate, collect, process and store sensitive information and data, including proprietary and personal data belonging to us and others.

We acknowledge that the threat landscape is broad and that threats are persistent. Being a prominent Israeli security company that provides solutions centered on privileged access security and identity management, we are and will remain an attractive target for cyber attackers and malicious actors, including insiders, as well as cyber terrorists, sophisticated criminal groups or nation-state affiliated actors. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience cyberattacks and security incidents that have impacted and will impact our IT network systems, physical facilities, our data or our customers' networks or data. Cyberattacks and security incidents are expected to accelerate in both frequency and impact as the use of cloud-based solutions expands, the use of AI (Artificial Intelligence) increases and attackers become increasingly sophisticated and utilize tools and techniques that are designed to circumvent controls, avoid detection, and remove or obfuscate forensic evidence. Our security measures and controls may not be sufficient to protect us against such attacks, which means that we may be unable to detect, investigate, contain or recover from future attacks or incidents in a timely or effective manner. Disruptive attacks, such as through ransomware and other extortion-based tactics, that can temporarily or permanently disable operations are becoming increasingly prevalent. Malicious third parties or insiders may also attempt to fraudulently induce employees or customers into disclosing sensitive information such as user names, passwords or other information or otherwise compromise the security of our or our customers' networks or data. Additionally, we may be at risk due to the increased frequency of sophisticated cyberattacks coordinated by foreign nation-states. For example, the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine may result in a heightened threat environment and create unknown cyber risks, including increased risk of retaliatory cyberattacks from Russian actors against foreign-based companies, or the proliferation of nation-state capabilities to non-state attack groups. Our solutions' operation relies at times on third-party, including open-source and other software, services, networks and environments, which could also serve as an attack vector. The shift to a remote working or hybrid environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic has expanded the attack surface for cyberattacks against us, our customers, and third-party providers. Cyberattacks against our Company may also be caused by breaches of our contractors, channel partners, supply chain network, vendors and other third parties associated with us, which could result from, among other causes, the sophistication of the attackers, human error and insufficient employee training, or lack of security and compliance oversight and prioritization. In addition, the risk for a cyberattack on our networks and environments, may be heightened if we fail to identify or remediate any deficiencies in the products, procedures, and policies of companies that we acquire (see "—We may fail to fully execute, integrate, or realize the benefits expected from acquisitions, which may require significant management attention, disrupt our business, dilute shareholder value and adversely affect our results of operations.").

------

We and our third-party providers may also be subject to information technology system failures or network disruptions caused by a variety of factors, including pandemics, natural disasters (such as increased frequency and severity of storms, earthquakes, flooding, fires, heatwaves or drought), accidents, power disruptions, telecommunications failures, acts of terrorism, wars (including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine), computer viruses and malware (such as ransomware), or other events or disruptions. System redundancy, data back-ups and other continuity measures may be ineffective or inadequate, and our business continuity and disaster recovery planning may not be sufficient for all eventualities. Cyberattacks, security breaches and other incidents could result in significant damage to our market position and lead to costly remediation requirements, indemnity claims, legal claims (including class action litigation), regulatory investigations and fines or penalties, as well as the loss of proprietary and confidential data, trade secrets and customers (see "—The dynamic regulatory environment around privacy and data protection may limit our offering or require modification of our products and services, which could limit our ability to attract new customers and support our current customers and increase our operational expenses. We could also be subject to investigations, litigation, or enforcement actions alleging that we fail to comply with regulatory requirements, which could harm our operating results and adversely affect our business."). An actual or perceived failure, disruption, or breach of our network, our operations or privileged account security in our systems could adversely affect the market perception of our products and services, or of our expertise in this field. Moreover, if critical business functions or services from third-party providers are breached and become unavailable due to extended outages or interruptions or because they are no longer available on commercially reasonable terms, our ability to manage our operations could be interrupted, our contractual service level commitments could be breached, and our ability to provide timely and adequate maintenance and support services to our customers could be impacted. Any of the foregoing events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations, reputation, financial condition and operating results and expenses.

With the increase in the likelihood and severity of potential security breaches and the increase in cybersecurity insurance premiums for our customers, negotiations may require us to assume more risk, including higher liabilities with regards to security and data breaches. In addition, we are unable to ensure that any limitations of liability provisions in our contracts with respect to our information security operations or our product liability would be enforceable, adequate, or would otherwise protect us from any liabilities or damages with respect to any particular claim (including in cases where existing customers purchase new solutions based on previously agreed contractual terms). We also may not be able to adequately recover damages from third parties associated with us, who were involved in a security incident. Additionally, any insurance coverage we may have may not adequately cover any of these claims asserted against us or any related damage and may leave a significant portion of such claims to be directly covered by us. If any of the foregoing were to occur, our business may suffer extensive costs, our sales may be reduced and our share price may be negatively impacted.

------

***If we fail to successfully operate as a subscription company, renew our existing customer base, and retain sufficient subscription or maintenance and support service renewal rates, our revenues, Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), operating results and share price may be adversely affected.***

We began transitioning our business to a subscription model in January 2021, reaching our subscription selling goals of at least 85% of our sales through subscriptions, for both SaaS and self-hosted offerings in the first quarter of 2022. To support our recurring revenue business model, we continue to evolve our business processes, systems and organizational structure to support and grow our subscription customers. Our strategy requires considerable investments across the entire organization with significant changes to our go-to-market and research and development organizations and activities, as well as our operations, reporting and financial resources. We expect our perpetual license revenue to continue to decline and our maintenance and support revenue to gradually decline over the coming years. Certain customers may view these changes unfavorably and terminate their engagements with us, or they may still desire perpetual licenses, which may cause fluctuations in our financial performance.

As a recurring revenue company, we are significantly more dependent on renewals to meet our revenue, including Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), profitability and cash flow from operating activities targets. Customer subscription renewal rates may decline or fluctuate due to a number of factors, including offering pricing, implementation and adoption rates of our solutions, reductions in customer spending levels or activity due to economic downturns or other market uncertainty, and attractive competitor alternatives. In addition, we, along with our service providers and channel partners, may not be able to provide adequate services that are responsive, satisfy our customers' expectations and resolve issues that they encounter with our solutions. Customers may become dissatisfied with our solutions and their implementation, and decide not to renew, which may have a material and adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We may face additional complications or risks in connection with our subscription model, including the following:

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; our revenues may fluctuate as a result of variations in our booking mix from the different licensing and delivery models and the corresponding timing of revenue recognition – ratably for SaaS subscriptions and the maintenance portion of self-hosted subscriptions, and upon delivery for perpetual licenses and the license portion of self-hosted subscriptions (see "— Our quarterly results of operations may fluctuate for a variety of reasons. We may, as a result, fail to meet publicly announced financial guidance or other expectations about our business, which could cause our ordinary shares to decline in value.");

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; since fiscal year 2020, we have incurred net losses with declining operating margins, and we expect to continue to generate operating and net losses, and our cash flow from operations could fluctuate (see "—We have incurred net losses, and may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve and sustain profitability.");

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the introduction of new product offerings and solutions may result in longer sales cycles, lost opportunities or less predictable revenues if our new or existing customers, prospects and partners are less receptive of such advancements (including a transition to SaaS in order to receive certain functionalities) or require a longer period to assess and select the solutions appropriate to them;

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the introduction of more SaaS offerings may lead to extended presale periods due to, among others, comprehensive product and security reviews and requirements by customers, extensive contract negotiations and more stringent compliance and operational obligations (such as those related to data protection or use);

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; our sales force may struggle with selling multiple solutions, pricing, licensing and delivery models to customers, prospects and partners, which may extend sales cycles, reduce the likelihood of sales closing, or lead to increased turnover rates and lower headcount;

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; our research and development teams may find it difficult to deliver functionality and drive innovation across multiple code bases on a timely basis; and

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; customer demand for migration from self-hosted solutions to SaaS may happen faster than we anticipate, in which case we might not be able to meet this demand and associated scalability requirements.

------

***The dynamic regulatory environment around privacy and data protection may limit our offering or require modification of our products and services, which could limit our ability to attract new customers and support our current customers and increase our operational expenses. We could also be subject to investigations, litigation, or enforcement actions alleging that we fail to comply with regulatory requirements, which could harm our operating results and adversely affect our business.***

Federal, state and international bodies continue to adopt, enact, and enforce new laws and regulations, as well as industry standards and guidelines, addressing cybersecurity, privacy, data protection and the collection, processing, storage, cross-border transfer and use of personal information.

We are subject to diverse laws and regulations relating to data privacy, including but not limited to the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HIPAA), the U.K. Data Protection Act 2018, national privacy laws of EU Member States and other laws relating to privacy, data protection, and cloud computing. These laws are evolving rapidly, as exemplified by the recent adoption by the European Commission of a new set of Standard Contractual Clauses, the U.K.'s adoption of its own international data transfer agreement, the prospect of a new European "ePrivacy Regulation" (to replace the existing "ePrivacy Directive," Directive 2002/58 on Privacy and Electronic Communications) and the implementation of the California Privacy Rights Act, which expands upon the CCPA and will have a lookback period until January 2022, as well as privacy legislation in several other U.S. states. Compliance with these laws, as well as efforts required to understand and interpret new legal requirements, require us to expend significant capital and other resources. We could be found to not be in compliance with obligations, or suffer from adverse interpretations of such legal requirements either as directly relating to our business or in the context of legal developments impacting our customers or other businesses, which could impact our ability to offer our products or services, impact operating results, or reduce demand for our products or services.

Compliance with privacy and data protection laws and contractual obligations may require changes in services, business practices, or internal systems resulting in increased costs, lower revenue, reduced efficiency, or greater difficulty in competing with firms that are not subject to these laws and regulations. For example, GDPR and the UK compliance regime impose several stringent requirements for controllers and processors of personal data and increase our obligations such as, requiring robust disclosures to individuals, establishing an individual data rights regime, setting timelines for data breach notifications, imposing conditions for international data transfers, requiring detailed internal policies and procedures and limiting retention periods. Ongoing compliance with these and other legal and contractual requirements may necessitate changes in services and business practices, which may lead to the diversion of engineering resources from other projects.

As a company that focuses on identity security with a foundation in Privilege Access Management, our customers may rely on our products and services as part of their own efforts to comply with security control obligations under GDPR and other laws and contractual commitments. If our products or services are found insufficient to meet these standards in the context of an investigation into us or our customers, or we are unable to engineer products that meet these standards, we could experience reduced demand for our products or services. There is also increased international scrutiny of cross-border transfers of data, including by the EU for personal data transfers to countries such as the United States, following recent case law and regulatory guidance. This increased scrutiny, as well as evolving legal and other regulatory requirements around the privacy or cross-border transfer of personal data, including the new potential EU-US Data Privacy Framework or UK-US adequacy arrangement, could increase our costs, restrict our ability to store and process data as part of our solutions, or, in some cases, impact our ability to offer our solutions or services in certain jurisdictions.

Enactment of further privacy laws in the United States, at the state or federal level, or introduction of new services or products that are subject to additional regulations, as well as ensuring compliance of solutions that we obtained through acquisitions, may require us to expend considerable resources to fulfill regulatory obligations, and could carry the potential for significant financial or reputational exposure to our business, delay introduction to the market and affect adoption rates.

Claims that we or our service providers have breached our contractual obligations or failed to comply with applicable privacy and data protection laws, even if we are not found liable, could be expensive and time-consuming to defend and could result in adverse publicity that could harm our business. As a data processor, we are required to process customer data only on the documented instructions of our customers. If we acted outside of these instructions, we could face regulatory consequences. In addition to litigation, we could face regulatory investigations, negative market perception, potential loss of business, litigation expenses, enforcement notices and/or fines (which, for example, under GDPR / UK regime can be up to 4% of global turnover for the preceding financial year or €20 / £17.5 million, whichever is higher).

------

#### Prolonged economic uncertainties or downturns, globally or in certain regions or industries, could materially adversely affect our business.
Our business depends on our current and prospective customers' ability and willingness to invest money in IT security, which in turn is dependent upon their overall economic health and the strength of the broader macroeconomic environment. The negative economic conditions in the global economy or certain regions, including conditions resulting from financial and credit market fluctuations (including rising interest rates), exchange rate fluctuations, or inflation, and the potential for regional or global recessions could cause a decrease in corporate spending on cybersecurity software. Other matters that influence customer confidence and spending, such as, political unrest, public health crises, including COVID-19, terrorist attacks, armed conflicts (such as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine), rising energy costs, and natural disasters, could also negatively affect our customers' spending on our products and services. The armed conflict involving Russia and Ukraine has already resulted in sanctions which restrict the selling or importing of goods, services, or technology in or from affected regions. The instability in these regions could further exacerbate the macroeconomic impacts on a global scale, including within specific revenue-generating industry verticals. In addition, since a significant portion of our operations are based in Israel, any hostilities within the region, as well as any political uncertainty or reform, or a significant downturn in the economic or financial condition of Israel including conditions associated with recently proposed legislation by the Israeli government, could materially adversely affect our operations (see "— Our principal executive offices, most of our research and development activities and other significant operations are located in Israel, and therefore, our results may be adversely affected by political, economic and military instability in Israel."). Our international operations also involve risks that could increase our expenses, adversely affect our operating results, and require increased time and attention of our management. A significant portion of our business operations are concentrated in core geographic areas, and economic downturns in these areas could severely affect our business operations. In addition, some of our business operations depend on emerging markets that are less resilient to fluctuations in the global economy. In 2022, we generated 52.9% of our revenues from the United States, 30.1% of our revenues from Europe, the Middle East and Africa and 17% from the rest of the world, which includes countries from the Asia Pacific and Japan region, the Latin America region and Canada.

Negative economic conditions may cause key customers, or specific revenue-generating verticals, to reduce their IT spending. Customers may delay or cancel IT projects, choose to focus on in-house development efforts or seek to lower their costs by renegotiating subscription renewals or maintenance and support agreements, thus making it difficult to adequately forecast and plan future business activities accurately, or prolonging our sales cycles. Further, customers or channel partners may be more likely to make late payments in worsening economic conditions, which could lead to increased collection efforts and require us to incur additional associated costs to collect expected revenues. If the economic conditions of the general economy or industries in which we operate continue to worsen from present levels, our business, results of operation and financial condition could be adversely affected.

***The highly competitive cybersecurity labor market has made it a challenge to attract and retain qualified personnel. If we are unable to hire, retain and motivate qualified personnel, our business will suffer.***

Our future success, productivity, revenue growth, profitability and cash flow from operating activities depend, in part, on our ability to continue to timely attract and retain highly skilled personnel. The highly competitive cybersecurity labor market has created an intense hiring environment, resulting in us experiencing increased difficulty in attracting and retaining qualified personnel. Since we require a highly skilled workforce in order to successfully compete in an increasingly competitive cybersecurity market, we have experienced and may continue to experience difficulty in hiring, high employee turnover, and considerable costs and productivity as well as time to market losses, which, over time, may impact our productivity, ability to meet customers' expectation and overall profitability levels. Many corporations and startup companies have greater resources and compensation tools at their disposal for talent acquisition, which may not be available at our Company. Our compensation relies partially on different equity vehicles (such as RSUs or our ESPP). Volatility within the stock market, including fluctuations in the stock prices of technology companies, or poor stock performance may affect our employee attrition and ability to attract new talent. Our inability to attract or retain qualified personnel or delays in hiring such personnel may seriously harm our performance, business and financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, if we hire employees who previously worked for our competitors, we may be subject to allegations that such employees have been improperly solicited or divulged proprietary or other confidential information, which could subject us to potential liability and litigation.

------

In order to meet our business goals and address the challenges of the labor market, we are expanding our workforce to additional regions globally, including by engaging external service providers. If we fail to manage this expansion in a manner that preserves the key aspects of our corporate culture, the quality of our solutions may suffer, which could negatively affect our brand and reputation and harm our ability to retain and attract customers and employees.

***We increasingly rely on third-party providers of cloud infrastructure services to deliver our SaaS solutions to customers, and any disruption of or interference with our use of these services, including any specifications limitations, could adversely affect our business.***

Our SaaS solutions are hosted by and dependent upon third-party providers of cloud infrastructure services (Cloud Service Providers), primarily Amazon Web Services (AWS). We do not have control over the operations or the facilities of the Cloud Service Providers that we use. If any of the services provided by the Cloud Service Providers fail, become unavailable, or experience service degradation due to earthquakes, flooding, fires, heatwaves, power loss, telecommunication failures, natural disasters, extended outages, cyberattacks, or other interruptions or similar events, our ability to operate our platform and deliver our SaaS solutions to customers could be negatively impacted, and the quality or perception of the quality, of our products and services could be diminished, which may result in a decrease in revenues, damage to our reputation, contractual liability, including for failure to meet service level agreements, regulatory actions and interruption of our ability to manage our finances and our processes for managing sales of our offerings. If we are unable to rapidly and cost-effectively substitute one Cloud Service Provider with another in circumstances of a failure or unavailability, or maintain or renew our agreements with our Cloud Service Providers on commercially reasonable terms, or we need to add new Cloud Services Providers to increase capacity and uptime, we could experience interruptions, downtime, delays, and additional expenses related to transferring to and providing support for these new platforms. Any of the above circumstances or events may harm our reputation and brand, expose us to liability, reduce the availability or usage of our platform, and impair our ability to attract new users, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Delivery of our SaaS solutions to our customers and operation of our platform depends on the ability of data centers and cloud infrastructure to allow for our customers' configuration, architecture, features and interconnection requirements and other specifications. Any limitation on the capacity of these data centers or cloud infrastructure to meet or maintain such specification requirements could impede our ability to onboard new customers or expand the usage of our existing customers, host our platform or serve our customers, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

#### We have incurred net losses, and may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve and sustain profitability.
We have incurred net losses of $83.9 million and $130.4 million in each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively, and anticipate our cash flow from operating activities could fluctuate. Our ability to generate cash flow from operating activities as a subscription company will depend on the combination of our success in retaining high renewal rates with our customers, expanding sales with our existing customers, generating sales from new customers and executing and collecting annual or multi-year contracts which are paid for up front. We cannot be certain we will achieve the required renewal rates, increased sales from existing and new customers nor generate or collect from the contract terms for the sales which will improve our cash flow from operating activities. In addition, due to our continued investment in the growth of our business, we expect our operating expenses to increase over the next several years as we hire additional personnel, retain existing personnel in a competitive market and continue to develop features and applications for our solutions. Any failure to increase our revenue could prevent us from achieving profitability or maintaining or increasing cash flow from operating activities on a consistent basis. In addition, we may have difficulty achieving profitability under U.S. GAAP due to share-based compensation expense and other non-cash charges. If we are unable to navigate these challenges as we encounter them, our business, financial condition, and operating results may suffer.

------

***The successful execution of our planned transition in executive leadership of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) role, as well as the integration of new executives, will be critical to achieving our operational and financial results. If we do not successfully manage such change, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.***

In February 2023, we announced the separation of the roles of CEO and Chairman of the Board effective April 3, 2023. Our Founder, Chairman and CEO, Udi Mokady, will assume the role of Executive Chairman of the Board, and Matthew Cohen, currently our Chief Operating Officer, will be appointed as CEO and join the Board at that time. Further, in 2022 and early 2023, the Company expanded its executive team to include a Chief Revenue Officer and named a new Chief Product Officer and a Chief Information Technology Officer. The planned CEO transition and the changes within the executive team may be disruptive to the Company's business operations and impact its ability to attract and retain top talent and deliver on its near-term sales and research and development targets. If we are unable to execute an orderly executive leadership transition and successfully manage the changes within our executive team, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

***A portion of our revenues is generated by sales to government entities, which are subject to a number of challenges and risks, such as increased competitive pressures, administrative delays and additional approval requirements.***

A portion of our revenues is generated by sales to U.S. and foreign federal, state, and local governmental agency customers, and we may in the future increase sales to government entities. Selling to government entities can be highly competitive, expensive and time consuming, often requiring significant upfront time and expense without any assurance that we will complete a sale, or imposing terms of sale which are less favorable than the prevailing market terms. Government demand and payment for our products and services may be impacted by public sector budgetary cycles and funding authorizations, funding reductions, government shutdowns or delays, adversely affecting public sector demand for our products. The foregoing may be intensified due to macroeconomic impacts (see "—Prolonged economic uncertainties or downturns, globally or in certain regions or industries, could materially adversely affect our business."). Additionally, for purchases by the U.S. government, the government may require certain products to be manufactured, maintained or developed in the United States and other high-cost locations, and we may not manufacture, maintain or develop all products in locations that meet the requirements of the U.S. government. Finally, some government entities require products such as ours to be certified by industry-approved security agencies as a pre-condition of purchasing them. We are in the process of, and have begun incurring costs, to obtain authorization from the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program ("FedRAMP") for certain of our SaaS products. The grant of such certifications depends on the then-current requirements of the certifying agency and our ability to meet them. We cannot be certain that any certificate will be granted, remain in effect or renewed, or that we would be able to satisfy the technological and other requirements to maintain certifications. The loss of any of our current product certificates, or the failure to obtain new ones, could result in the imposition of various penalties, reputational harm, loss of existing customers, or could deter new and existing customers from purchasing our solutions, additional products or our services, any of which could adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition.

***We may fail to fully execute, integrate, or realize the benefits expected from acquisitions, which may require significant management attention, disrupt our business, dilute shareholder value, and adversely affect our results of operations.***

As part of our business strategy and to remain competitive, we continue to evaluate acquiring or making investments in complementary companies, products, or technologies. We may not be able to find suitable acquisition candidates or complete such acquisitions on favorable terms. We may incur significant expenses, divert employee and management time and attention from other business-related tasks and our organic strategy, and incur other unanticipated complications while engaging with potential target companies where no transaction is eventually completed. If we do complete acquisitions, we may not ultimately strengthen our competitive position or achieve our goals or expected growth, and any acquisitions we complete could be viewed negatively by our customers, analysts, and investors, or create unexpected competition from market participants. Any integration process may require significant time and resources. We may not be able to manage the process successfully and may experience a decline in our profitability as we incur expenses prior to fully realizing the benefits of the acquisition. We could expend significant cash and incur acquisition related costs and other unanticipated liabilities associated with the acquisition, the product, or the technology, such as contractual obligations, potential security vulnerabilities of the acquired company and its products and services and potential intellectual property infringement. In addition, any acquired technology or product may not comply with legal or regulatory requirements and may expose us to regulatory risk and require us to make additional investments to make them compliant. Further, we may not be able to provide the same support service levels to the acquired technology or product that we generally offer with our other products.

------

We may not successfully evaluate or utilize the acquired technology or personnel, or accurately forecast the financial impact of an acquisition transaction, including accounting charges and tax liabilities. Further, the issuance of equity or securities convertible to equity to finance any such acquisitions could result in dilution to our shareholders and the issuance of debt could subject us to covenants or other restrictions that would impede our ability to manage our operations. We could become subject to legal claims following an acquisition or fail to accurately forecast the potential impact of any claims. Any of these issues could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

#### We are exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which could negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Our functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. In 2022, most of our revenues were denominated in U.S. dollars and the remainder primarily in Euros and British pounds sterling. In 2022, most of our cost of revenues and operating expenses were denominated in U.S. dollars and New Israeli Shekels (NIS) and the remainder primarily in Euros and British pounds sterling. Our foreign currency-denominated expenses consist primarily of personnel, marketing programs, travel, rent, and other overhead costs. Since the portion of our expenses generated in NIS and British pounds sterling is greater than our revenues in NIS and British pounds sterling, respectively, any appreciation of the NIS or the British pounds sterling relative to the U.S. dollar could adversely impact our operating loss. In addition, since the portion of our revenues generated in Euros is greater than our expenses incurred in Euros, any depreciation of the Euro relative to the U.S. dollar would adversely impact our operating loss. We estimate that a 10% strengthening or weakening in the value of the NIS against the U.S. dollar would have increased or decreased, respectively, our operating loss by approximately $16.0 million in 2022. We estimate that a 10% strengthening or weakening in the value of the Euro against the U.S. dollar would have decreased or increased, respectively, our operating loss by approximately $2.3 million in 2022. We estimate that a 10% strengthening or weakening in the value of the British pounds sterling against the U.S. dollar would have increased or decreased, respectively, our operating loss by approximately $1.0 million in 2022. These estimates of the impact of fluctuations in currency exchange rates on our historic results of operations may be different from the impact of fluctuations in exchange rates on our future results of operations since the mix of currencies comprising our revenues and expenses may change. For example, fluctuations in the different currencies in 2022, as compared to 2021 exchange rates, increased total operating loss by approximately $2.2 million. We evaluate periodically the various currencies to which we are exposed and, as appropriate, may enter into hedging transactions designed to reduce or eliminate certain currency exchange rate impacts. We expect that most of our revenues will continue to be generated in U.S. dollars with the balance primarily in Euros and British pounds sterling for the foreseeable future, and that a significant portion of our expenses will continue to be denominated in NIS, U.S. dollars, British pounds sterling and in Euros. We cannot provide any assurances that our hedging activities will be successful in protecting us from adverse impacts from currency exchange rate fluctuations. In addition, we have monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies. For example, we have a significant NIS linked liability related to our operational leases in Israel. As a result, significant exchange rate fluctuations could have a negative effect on our net income (see "Item 11— Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Foreign Currency Risk.").

***The COVID-19 pandemic, measures taken in response to it and the resulting global economic environment have adversely affected, and may adversely affect in the future, our business, financial condition, and results of operations.***

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted, and may continue to impact, worldwide economic activity and financial markets. The duration and extent of the pandemic's impact, including how it will influence our future results of operations and overall financial performance remains uncertain. Despite the development of recovery and preparedness initiatives by customers, partners, and suppliers to limit the human and financial impact of COVID-19, the unpredictable nature of the pandemic may continue to create volatility within specific industries, geographies, and heighten market risk aversion in certain financial markets, which could negatively affect our customers and partners, and harm our results of operations and financial performance. Our business has taken precautionary measures intended to address our ability to execute our operating plans, but, notwithstanding these measures, our business operations may still be harmed.

The COVID-19 pandemic, along with other macroeconomic impacts, may continue to influence the financial and purchasing decisions of our customers, resulting in the allocation of funds to other initiatives, a reduction in the duration of subscription contracts, lower renewals, delayed spending, reduced or delayed payment frequencies, or higher attrition rates, all of which could adversely affect our future sales, operating and business results.

------

***If we fail to maintain successful relationships with our channel partners, or if our channel partners fail to perform, our ability to market, sell and distribute our solutions will be limited, and our business, financial condition and results of operations will be harmed.***

We rely on our channel partners to market, sell, support and implement our solutions. We expect that indirect sales through our channel partners will continue to account for a significant percentage of our revenue. In the year ended December 31, 2022, we generated approximately 76% of our revenues from sales to channel partners, such as distributors, systems integrators, value-added resellers, managed security service providers and marketplaces, and we expect that channel partners will represent a substantial portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future. Further, we cooperate with advisory firms in marketing our solutions and providing implementation services to our customers, in both direct and indirect sales. Our agreements with channel partners are non-exclusive, meaning our partners may offer customers IT security products from other companies, including products that compete with our solutions.

If our channel partners do not effectively market and sell our solutions or choose to use greater efforts to market and sell their own products and services or the products and services of our competitors or adjacent security solutions, our ability to grow our business will be adversely affected. Further, new channel partners require training and may take several months or more to achieve productivity. The loss of key channel partners, the inability to replace them or the failure to recruit additional channel partners, due to a variety of factors, including introduction of new partner program terms, could materially and adversely affect our results of operations. Our reliance on channel partners could also subject us to lawsuits or reputational harm if, for example, a channel partner misrepresents the functionality of our solutions to customers, fails to appropriately implement our solutions or violates applicable laws, and, in addition, this may result in termination of such partner's agreement and potentially curb future revenues associated with this channel partner. If we are unable to maintain our relationships with channel partners or otherwise develop and expand our indirect sales channel, or if we are unable to train our channel partners to independently sell, install and support our solutions, or if our channel partners fail to perform, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

#### We are subject to a number of regulatory and geopolitical risks associated with global sales and operations, which could materially affect our business.
We are a global company subject to varied and complex laws, regulations, and customs. The application of these laws and regulations to our business is often unclear, subject to interpretation and may at times conflict. Compliance with these laws and regulations may involve significant costs or require changes in our business practices or our products that result in reduced revenue and profitability. Furthermore, business practices in the global markets that we serve may differ from those in the United States and may require us to include non-standard terms in customer contracts, such as extended payment or warranty terms. Further, there may be higher costs of doing business globally, including costs incurred by maintaining office space, securing adequate staffing, and localizing our contracts.

Additionally, our global sales and operations are subject to a number of risks, including the following:

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; failure to fully comply with various global data privacy and data protection laws (see "—The dynamic regulatory environment around privacy and data protection may limit our offering or require modification of our products and services, which could limit our ability to attract new customers and support our current customers and increase our operational expenses. We could also be subject to investigations, litigation, or enforcement actions alleging that we fail to comply with regulatory requirements, which could harm our operating results and adversely affect our business.");

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; continuing uncertainty of the long term economic, financial, regulatory, trade, tax and legal impact of the withdrawal of the U.K. from the European Union ("Brexit"). Our U.K. subsidiary is the main entity for sales into Europe. In 2022, the revenues generated by our U.K. subsidiary from the European Union countries (excluding the U.K.) accounted for 21.7% of our total global revenue. Our London office is also our European headquarters and third largest office globally;

------

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies in markets where we do business (see "—We are exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which could negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations.");

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; social, economic and political instability, war, civil disturbance or acts of terrorism, conflicts (including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine) and security concerns in general, and any pandemics or epidemics, such as COVID-19;

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; greater difficulty in enforcing contracts and managing collections, as well as longer collection periods;

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; noncompliance with specific anti-bribery laws, without limitation, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act of 2010 and the heightened risk of unfair or corrupt business practices in certain geographies, which may include the improper or fraudulent sales arrangements by us or by our channel partners or service providers that may impact financial results and result in restatements of, or irregularities in, financial statements;

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; certain of our activities and products are subject to U.S., European Union, Israeli, and possibly other export and trade control and economic sanctions laws and regulations, which have and may additionally prohibit or restrict our ability to engage in business with certain countries and customers. If the applicable requirements related to export and trade controls change or expand, if we change the encryption functionality in our products, or if we develop other products or export products from additional jurisdictions, we may need to satisfy additional requirements or obtain specific licenses to continue to export our products in the same global scope. Various countries also regulate the import or export of certain encryption products and other technologies and services and have enacted laws that could limit our ability to distribute or implement our products in those countries. In addition, applicable export control and sanctions laws and regulations may impact our ability to sell our products, directly or indirectly, to countries or territories that are the target of comprehensive sanctions, or to prohibited parties;

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; unexpected changes in regulatory practices and foreign legal requirements, may adversely affect our business. The introduction of new cybersecurity laws and regulations and changes in existing ones or their enforcement, may impair our ability to sell our solutions in certain jurisdictions if we are not able to adapt our products and offerings to conform with such regulations. In addition, changes in tax regulations and uncertain tax obligations and effective tax rates, may result in recognizing tax losses or lower than anticipated earnings in jurisdictions where we have lower statutory rates and higher than anticipated earnings in jurisdictions where we have higher statutory rates, or changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities;

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; compliance with, and the uncertainty of, laws and regulations that apply to our areas of business, including cybersecurity, corporate governance, anti-trust and competition, local and regional employment (including cross-border travel), employee and third-party complaints, supply chain regulation, limitation of liability, conflicts of interest, securities regulations and other regulatory requirements affecting trade, local tariffs, product localization and investment;

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; reduced or uncertain protection of intellectual property rights in some countries; and

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; management communication and integration problems resulting from cultural and geographic dispersion.

These and other factors could harm our ability to generate future global revenues and, consequently, materially impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. Non-compliance could also result in government investigations, fines, damages, or criminal sanctions against us, our officers or our employees, prohibitions on the conduct of our business, and damage to our reputation.

***If we do not effectively expand, train and retain our sales, customer success and marketing personnel, we may be unable to acquire new customers or sell additional products and services to existing customers, and our business will suffer.***

We depend significantly on our sales force and go-to-market organization to attract new customers and expand sales to existing customers. Our ability to grow our revenues depends, in part, on our success in recruiting, training, and retaining enough sales, customer success and marketing personnel to support our growth. The number of our sales, customer success and marketing personnel increased from 941 as of December 31, 2021 to 1,157 as of December 31, 2022. We expect to continue to expand our sales, customer success, and marketing personnel and to do so, we may face a number of challenges in achieving our hiring, retention, and integration goals (see "—The highly competitive cybersecurity labor market has made it a challenge to attract and retain qualified personnel. If we are unable to hire, retain and motivate qualified personnel, our business will suffer."). The training and integration of a large number of sales, customer success, and marketing personnel in a short time requires the allocation of significant internal resources. Based on our past experience, it takes an average of approximately six to nine months before a new sales force member operates at target performance levels. We may not be able to recruit at our anticipated rate or achieve or maintain our target performance levels with large numbers of new sales personnel as quickly as we have done in the past, which may materially and adversely impact our business and results of operations. In addition, significant turnover in our sales, customer success, or marketing organizations, may impact our ability to retain and expand our customers, obtain new customers, or deliver on our revenue, profitability, or cash flow generation goals.

------

***If our products fail to help our customers achieve and maintain compliance with certain government regulations and industry standards, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.***

We generate a substantial portion of our revenues from our products and services that enable our customers to achieve and maintain compliance with certain government regulations and industry standards, and we expect that to continue for the foreseeable future. Governments and other customers may require our products to comply with certain privacy, security or other certifications and standards with respect to those solutions utilized by them as a control demonstrating compliance with government regulations and industry standards. We have maintained a SOC 2 certification for multiple products since 2019. Additionally, we have maintained the ISO 27001 annual certification since April 2017. We are pursuing the evaluation of having our Privilege Access Management solution for international Common Criteria certification. We are also in the process of seeking authorization from the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), for certain SaaS products. However, we are unable to guarantee that we will achieve the foregoing authorizations in a timely manner, or at all. If our products are late in achieving or fail to achieve or maintain compliance with these certifications and standards, or our competitors achieve compliance with these certifications and standards, we may be disqualified from selling our products to such customers, or may otherwise be at a competitive disadvantage, either of which would harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Additionally, industry standards may change with little or no notice, including changes that could make them more or less onerous for businesses. If we are unable to adapt our solutions to changing government regulations and industry standards in a timely manner, or if our solutions fail to expedite our customers' compliance initiatives, our customers may lose confidence in our products and could switch to products offered by our competitors. In addition, if government regulations and industry standards related to IT security are changed in a manner that makes them less onerous, our customers may view compliance as less critical to their businesses and may be less willing to purchase our products and services. In either case, our sales and financial results would suffer (see also "—The dynamic regulatory environment around privacy and data protection may limit our offering or require modification of our products and services, which could limit our ability to attract new customers and support our current customers and increase our operational expenses. We could also be subject to investigations, litigation, or enforcement actions alleging that we fail to comply with regulatory requirements, which could harm our operating results and adversely affect our business.").

***Intellectual property claims may increase our costs or require us to cease selling certain products, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.***

The IT security industry is characterized by the existence of a large number of relevant patents and frequent claims and litigations regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. Leading companies in the IT security industry have extensive patent portfolios. From time to time, third parties have asserted, and in the future may assert, their patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights against us, our channel partners, or our customers. Furthermore, we may be subject to indemnification obligations with respect to third-party intellectual property rights pursuant to our agreements with our customers and channel partners. Such indemnification provisions are customary for our industry. We cannot ensure that we will have the resources to defend against such claims. Successful claims of infringement or misappropriation by a third party against us or a third party that we indemnify, could prevent us from distributing certain products or performing certain services or could require us to pay substantial damages (including, for example, treble damages if we are found to have willfully infringed patents and increased statutory damages if we are found to have willfully infringed copyrights), royalties or other fees. Such claims also could require us to cease making, licensing or using solutions that are alleged to infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property of others, to expend additional development resources to attempt to redesign our products or services or otherwise to develop non-infringing technology, to enter into potentially unfavorable royalty or license agreements in order to obtain the right to use necessary technologies or intellectual property rights, and to indemnify our customers and channel partners (and parties associated with them). The failure to obtain a license or the costs associated with any license could cause our business, results of operations or financial condition to be materially and adversely affected. Defending against claims of infringement, regardless of their validity, or being deemed to be infringing the intellectual property rights of others could be very expensive and time consuming to defend, harm our reputation and impair our ability to innovate, develop, distribute, and sell our current and planned products and services.

------

#### If we are unable to adequately protect our proprietary technology and intellectual property rights, our business could suffer substantial harm.
The success of our business depends on our ability to protect our proprietary technology, brands and other intellectual property and to enforce our rights in that intellectual property. We attempt to protect our intellectual property under patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, and through a combination of confidentiality procedures, contractual provisions and other methods, all of which offer only limited protection.

As of December 31, 2022, we had 130 issued patents in the United States and 49 pending U.S. patent applications. We also had 59 issued patents and 20 applications pending for examination in non-U.S. jurisdictions, all of which are counterparts of our U.S. patent applications. We expect to file additional patent applications in the future.

The process of obtaining patent protection is expensive and time-consuming, and we may not be able to complete all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner all the way to the successful issuance of a patent. We may choose not to seek patent protection for certain innovations and may choose not to pursue patent protection in certain jurisdictions. Furthermore, it is possible that our patent applications may not be approved, that the scope of our issued patents will be insufficient or not have the coverage originally sought, that our issued patents will not provide us with any competitive advantages, and that our patents and other intellectual property rights may be challenged by others or invalidated through administrative processes or litigation. Finally, issuance of a patent does not guarantee that we have an absolute right to practice the patented invention. Our policy is to require our employees (and our consultants and service providers that develop intellectual property included in our products) to execute written agreements in which they assign to us their rights, if such exist, in potential inventions and other intellectual property created within the scope of their employment (or, with respect to consultants and service providers, their engagement to develop such intellectual property. We cannot be certain that we have adequately protected our rights in every such agreement or that we have executed an agreement with every such party. Finally, in order to benefit from the protection of patents and other intellectual property rights, we must monitor and detect infringement and pursue infringement claims under certain circumstances in relevant jurisdictions. Litigating claims related to the enforcement of intellectual property rights is very expensive and can be burdensome in terms of management time and resources. Any litigation related to intellectual rights or claims against us could result in loss or compromise of our intellectual property rights or could subject us to significant liabilities. As a result, we may not be able to obtain adequate protection or to effectively enforce our issued patents or other intellectual property rights.

In addition to patents, we rely on trade secret rights, copyrights and other rights to protect our unpatented proprietary intellectual property and technology. Unauthorized parties, including our employees, consultants, service providers or customers, may attempt to copy aspects of our products or obtain and use our trade secrets or other confidential information. We generally enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, service providers, vendors, channel partners, subcontractors and customers, and generally limit access to and distribution of our proprietary information and proprietary technology through certain procedural safeguards. These agreements may not effectively prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of our intellectual property or technology and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of our intellectual property or technology. We cannot be certain that the steps taken by us will prevent misappropriation of our intellectual property or technology or infringement of our intellectual property rights. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries where we sell our products do not protect intellectual property rights and technology to the same extent as the laws of the United States, and these countries may not enforce these laws as diligently as government agencies and private parties in the United States. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, we may find ourselves at a competitive disadvantage to others who do not incur the additional expense, time and effort to create the innovative products nevertheless benefiting from such innovation due to misappropriation.

------

***Our use of open-source software, third-party software, and other intellectual property may negatively affect our ability to offer our solutions and expose us to litigation or other risks.***

We integrate certain open-source software components from third parties into our software, and we expect to continue to use open-source software in the future. Some open-source software licenses require, among other things, that users who distribute or make available as a service, open-source software with their own software products, add appropriate copyright notices and disclaimers, publicly disclose all or part of the source code of the users' developed software or make available any derivative works of the open-source code under open-source license terms or at no cost. Our efforts to use the open-source software in a manner consistent with the relevant license terms that would not require us to disclose our proprietary code or license our proprietary software at no cost may not be successful. We may face claims by third parties seeking to enforce the license terms applicable to such open-source software, including by demanding the release of our proprietary source code, or we may face termination of such licenses if the owner of the open-source software asserts we are in breach of its license terms. In addition, if the license terms for the open-source code change or the license is terminated, we may be forced to re-engineer our software or incur additional costs. In addition, open-source software typically comes without warranties or indemnities from the owner, whereas we are expected to offer our customers both. Accordingly, if there were technical problems with open-source software that we used in our products, or if such open-source software infringed third-party intellectual property rights, we could have a warranty obligation or infringement indemnity obligation to our customer without a corresponding warranty or indemnification obligation from the owner of the open-source software. In addition, regardless of the validity of claims against us, our business, financial condition, and results of could be harmed by litigation and defense costs, payment of damages, the disclosure of our source code, additional expenditure to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, and additional expenses and research and development time to render existing products non-infringing.

While we scan the open-source software that we use in our products and patch discovered vulnerabilities, we have no assurance that they will be free from vulnerabilities or malicious code. The use of open-source software in our solutions may expose us, and our customers using our solutions, to additional vulnerabilities and security breaches, which may result in significant adverse impacts to us and our customers (see "—Real or perceived security vulnerabilities and gaps in our solutions or services or the failure of our customers or third parties to correctly implement, manage and maintain our solutions, may result in significant reputational, financial, and legal adverse impact.").

Further, some of our products and services include other software or intellectual property licensed from third parties, and we also use software and other intellectual property licensed from third parties for our own business operations. This exposes us to risks over which we may have little or no control. For example, a licensor may have difficulties keeping up with technological changes or may stop supporting the software or other intellectual property that it licenses to us. There can be no assurance that the licenses we use will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, a third party may assert that we or our customers are in breach of the terms of a license, which could, among other things, give such third party the right to terminate a license or seek damages from us, or both. Our inability to obtain or maintain certain licenses or other rights or to obtain or maintain such licenses or rights on favorable terms, or the need to engage in litigation regarding these matters, could result in delays in releases of new products, and could otherwise disrupt our business, until equivalent technology can be identified, licensed, or developed.

#### Risks Related to Our Ordinary Shares

#### Our share price may be volatile, and our shareholders may lose all or part of their investment.
From January 2020 through January 2023, our ordinary shares have traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market ("Nasdaq") at a price per share between a range of $69.50 and $201.68. In addition, the market price of our ordinary shares could be highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially as a result of many factors, some of which are beyond our control, including, but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o actual or anticipated fluctuations in our results of operations and the results of other similar companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o variance in our financial performance from the expectations of market analysts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o announcements by us or our competitors of significant business developments, changes in service provider relationships, acquisitions
 or expansion plans;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o changes in the prices of our products and services or in our pricing models;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o our involvement in litigation;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o our sale of ordinary shares or other securities in the future;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o market conditions in our industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o changes in key personnel (see also "— The successful execution of our planned transition in executive leadership of the
 Chief Executive Officer (CEO) role, as well as the integration of new executives, will be critical to achieving our operational and financial
 results. If we do not successfully manage such change, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o speculation in the press or the investment community;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o the trading volume of our ordinary shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o changes in the estimation of the future size and growth rate of our markets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o any merger and acquisition activities; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o general economic and market conditions.

The price of our ordinary shares could also be affected by possible sales of our ordinary shares by investors who view our Convertible Notes as a more attractive means of equity participation in our Company, and by hedging and arbitrage trading activity that such investors may engage in.

In addition, the stock markets have experienced price and volume fluctuations. Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our operating performance, and may affect our ability to access new capital, which may materially harm our liquidity, and limit our ability to grow our business. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against that company. If we were involved in any similar litigation, we could incur substantial costs and our management's attention and resources could be diverted, which could materially adversely affect our business.

***Our business could be negatively affected as a result of the actions of activist shareholders, and such activism could impact the trading value of our securities.***

In recent years, U.S. and non-U.S. companies listed on securities exchanges in the United States have been faced with governance-related demands from activist shareholders, unsolicited tender offers and proxy contests. Although as a foreign private issuer we are not subject to U.S. proxy rules, responding to any action of this type by activist shareholders could be costly and time-consuming, disrupting our operations and diverting the attention of management and our employees. Such activities could interfere with our ability to execute our strategic plans. In addition, a proxy contest for the election of directors at our annual meeting would require us to incur significant legal fees and proxy solicitation expenses and require significant time and attention by management and our board of directors. The perceived uncertainties due to such actions of activist shareholders also could affect the market price of our securities.

***As a foreign private issuer whose ordinary shares are listed on Nasdaq, we may follow certain home country corporate governance practices instead of otherwise applicable SEC and Nasdaq requirements and are exempt from a number of requirements under U.S. securities laws. This may result in less protection for, or limit the information available to, our shareholders.***

As a foreign private issuer whose ordinary shares are listed on Nasdaq, we are permitted to follow certain home country corporate governance practices instead of certain rules of Nasdaq. We currently follow Israeli home country practices with regard to the quorum requirement for shareholder meetings and the requirements relating to distribution of our annual report to shareholders. As permitted under the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the "Companies Law"), our articles of association provide that the quorum for any meeting of shareholders shall be at least two shareholders present in person or by proxy who hold at least 25% of the voting power of our shares instead of 33 1/3% of our issued share capital (as prescribed by Nasdaq's rules). Further, as permitted by the Companies Law and in accordance with the generally accepted business practice in Israel, we do not distribute our annual report to shareholders but make it available through our public website. We may in the future elect to follow Israeli home country practices with regard to other matters such as director nomination procedures, separate executive sessions of independent directors and the requirement to obtain shareholder approval for certain dilutive events (such as for the establishment or amendment of certain equity-based compensation plans, issuances that will result in a change of control of the Company, certain transactions other than a public offering involving issuances of a 20% or more interest in the Company and certain acquisitions of the stock or assets of another company). Accordingly, our shareholders may not be afforded the same protection as provided under Nasdaq corporate governance rules. Following our home country governance practices as opposed to the requirements that would otherwise apply to a U.S. company listed on Nasdaq may provide less protection than is accorded to shareholders of domestic issuers. See "Item 16G. Corporate Governance."

As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from a number of requirements under U.S. securities laws that apply to public companies that are not foreign private issuers. In particular, we are exempt from the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required under the Exchange Act to file annual, quarterly, and current reports and financial statements with the SEC, as frequently or as promptly as domestic companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. We are also exempt from the provisions of Regulation FD, which prohibits issuers from making selective disclosure of material nonpublic information. Even though we intend to comply voluntarily with Regulation FD, these exemptions and leniencies will reduce the frequency and scope of information and protections to which our shareholders are entitled as investors. For so long as we qualify as a foreign private issuer, we are not required to comply with the proxy rules applicable to U.S. domestic companies, although pursuant to the Companies Law, we disclose the annual compensation of our five most highly compensated office holders (as defined under the Companies Law) on an individual basis, including in this annual report. Because of these exemptions for foreign private issuers, our shareholders do not have the same information generally available to investors holding shares in public companies that are not foreign private issuers.

***Our Convertible Notes may impact our financial results, result in the dilution of existing shareholders, create downward pressure on the price of our ordinary shares, and restrict our ability to take advantage of future opportunities.***

In November 2019, we issued $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the "Convertible Notes"). The sale of the Convertible Notes may affect our earnings per share figures, as accounting procedures may require that we include in our calculation of earnings per share the number of ordinary shares into which the Convertible Notes are convertible. The Convertible Notes may be converted, under the conditions and at the premium specified in the Convertible Notes, into cash and our ordinary shares, if any (subject to our right to pay cash in lieu of all or a portion of such shares). If our ordinary shares are issued to the holders of the Convertible Notes upon conversion, there will be dilution to our shareholders' equity and the market price of our ordinary shares may decrease due to the additional selling pressure in the market. Any downward pressure on the price of our ordinary shares caused by the sale or potential sale of ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes could also encourage short sales by third parties, creating additional downward pressure on our share price.

In addition, in connection with the pricing of the Convertible Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the "Capped Call Transactions"), with certain of the purchasers of the Convertible Notes. The Capped Call Transactions cover, collectively, the number of our ordinary shares underlying the Convertible Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Convertible Notes. The cost of the Capped Call Transactions was approximately $53.6 million. The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to the ordinary shares upon any conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount upon conversion of the Convertible Notes under certain events described in the Capped Call Transactions. We are subject to the risk that one or more of the counterparties to the Capped Call Transactions may default, or otherwise fail to perform, or may exercise certain rights to terminate, their obligations under the Capped Call Transactions. Our exposure will depend on many factors but, generally, our exposure will increase if the market price or the volatility of our common stock increases. Upon a default, a failure to perform or a termination of obligations by a counterparty to the Capped Call Transactions, we may suffer adverse tax consequences or experience more dilution than we currently anticipate with respect to our ordinary shares.

Furthermore, the indenture for the Convertible Notes will prohibit us from engaging in certain mergers or acquisitions unless, among other things, the surviving entity assumes our obligations under the Convertible Notes. These and other provisions in the indenture could deter or prevent a third party from acquiring us even when the acquisition may be favorable.

We currently anticipate that we will be able to rely on and to implement certain clarifications from the Israeli Tax Authorities, with respect to the administration of our Israeli withholding tax obligations in relation to considerations to be paid to the holders of the Convertible Notes upon their future conversion and settlement. Unexpected failure to ultimately obtain such anticipated clarifications from the Israeli Tax Authorities could under certain conditions potentially result in increased Israeli withholding tax gross-up costs and implications.

------

***We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to settle conversions of the Convertible Notes, repurchase the Convertible Notes upon a fundamental change or repay the Convertible Notes in cash at their maturity, and our future debt may contain limitations on our ability to pay cash upon conversion or repurchase of the Convertible Notes.***

Holders of the Convertible Notes will have the right under the indenture governing the Convertible Notes to require us to repurchase all or a portion of their Convertible Notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change before the applicable maturity date, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, excluding the applicable fundamental change repurchase date, if any. Moreover, we will be required to repay the Convertible Notes in cash at their maturity, unless earlier converted, repurchased, or redeemed. We may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing, or obtain financing on favorable terms, at the time we are required to make such repurchases of the Convertible Notes and/or repay the Convertible Notes upon maturity.

In addition, we have the right to elect to settle conversions of the Convertible Notes in cash. Although we entered into the Capped Call Transactions which are expected generally to offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount upon conversion of the Convertible Notes (subject to a cap), we may not ultimately receive such cash payments from the counterparties to the Capped Call Transactions in case of a default, a failure to perform or a termination of obligations by a relevant counterparty.

Our ability to repurchase or to pay cash upon conversion of Convertible Notes may be limited by law, regulatory authority or agreements governing our future indebtedness. Our failure to repurchase the Convertible Notes at a time when the repurchase is required by the indenture or to pay cash upon conversion of the Convertible Notes or at maturity as required by the indenture would constitute a default under the indenture. A default under the indenture or the fundamental change itself could also lead to a default under agreements governing our future indebtedness. If the payment of the related indebtedness were to be accelerated after any applicable notice or grace periods, we may not have sufficient funds to repay the indebtedness and repurchase the Convertible Notes or to pay cash upon conversion of the Convertible Notes or at maturity.

***We may lose our foreign private issuer status, which would then require us to comply with the rules and regulations applicable to U.S. domestic issuers and cause us to incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses.***

Since a majority of our voting securities are either directly or indirectly owned of record by residents of the United States, we would lose our foreign private issuer status if any of the following were to occur: (i) the majority of our executive officers or directors were U.S. citizens or residents, (ii) more than 50 percent of our assets were located in the United States, or (iii) our business was administered principally in the United States. Similarly, if we were to acquire a U.S. company in the future, it could put us at heighted risk of losing our foreign private issuer status. Although we have elected to comply with certain U.S. regulatory provisions, our loss of foreign private issuer status would make such provisions mandatory. In addition, we would lose our ability to rely on Nasdaq exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that are available to foreign private issuers. If we were to lose our foreign private issuer status, the regulatory and compliance costs to us under U.S. securities laws as a U.S. domestic issuer may be significantly higher.

***If we are unable to satisfy the requirements of Sections 404(a) and 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or if our internal control over financial reporting is not effective, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and the completeness of our financial reports,***and the trading price of our ordinary shares may be negatively affected.

Pursuant to Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act"), we are required to furnish a report by management on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Additionally, pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we must include an auditor attestation on our internal control over financial reporting.

Our business transition into a subscription model affected our internal control over financial reporting, and requires us to enhance existing, and implement new, financial reporting and management systems, procedures and controls in order to address new risks raised from our business transition to a subscription model and to manage our business effectively and support our growth in the future. If we identify material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, if we are unable to comply with the requirements of Section 404(a) or 404(b) in a timely manner or to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion or issues an adverse opinion in its attestation as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting required by Section 404(b), investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the trading price of our ordinary shares could be negatively affected. We could also become subject to investigations by Nasdaq, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources.

#### Our U.S. shareholders may suffer adverse tax consequences if we are classified as a "passive foreign investment company."
Generally, if for any taxable year, after the application of certain look-through rules, 75% or more of our gross income is passive income, or at least 50% of the average quarterly value of our assets (which may be measured in part by the market value of our ordinary shares, which is subject to change) are held for the production of, or produce, passive income (as defined in the relevant provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")), we would be characterized as a "passive foreign investment company" ("PFIC"), for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Code. Based on our market capitalization and the nature of our income, assets and business, we believe that we should not be classified as a PFIC for the taxable year that ended December 31, 2022. However, PFIC status is determined annually and requires a factual determination that depends on, among other things, the composition of our income, assets and activities in each taxable year, and can only be made after the close of each taxable year. Furthermore, because the value of our gross assets is likely to be determined in part by reference to our market capitalization, a decline in the value of our ordinary shares may result in our becoming a PFIC. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for any taxable year. If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder (as defined in "Item 10.E. Taxation—Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences") holds our ordinary shares, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could apply to such U.S. Holder. Prospective U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of the PFIC rules to them. See "Item 10.E. Taxation— Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences—Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations."

***If a U.S. person is treated as owning at least 10% of our ordinary shares, such holder may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.***

If a U.S. person is treated as owning (directly, indirectly or constructively) at least 10% of the value or voting power of our ordinary shares, such person may be treated as a "U.S. shareholder" with respect to each controlled foreign corporation ("CFC"), in our group (if any). If our group includes one or more U.S. subsidiaries (as has been the case for 2022), certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries will be treated as CFCs regardless of whether or not we are treated as a CFC. A U.S. shareholder of a CFC may be required to report annually and include in its U.S. taxable income its pro rata share of such CFC's "Subpart F income," "global intangible low taxed income" and investments in U.S. property by CFCs, regardless of whether we make any distributions. An individual who is a U.S. shareholder with respect to a CFC generally would not be allowed certain tax deductions or foreign tax credits that would be allowed to a U.S. shareholder that is a U.S. corporation. Failure to comply with these reporting obligations may subject a U.S. shareholder to significant monetary penalties and may prevent the statute of limitations with respect to such U.S. shareholder's U.S. federal income tax return for the year for which reporting was due from starting. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to assist holders of ordinary shares in determining whether any of our non U.S. subsidiaries is treated as a CFC or whether any holder of ordinary shares should be treated as a U.S. shareholder with respect to any such CFC or furnish to any U.S. shareholders information that may be necessary to comply with the aforementioned reporting and tax paying obligations. The United States Internal Revenue Service provided limited guidance on situations in which investors may rely on publicly available alternative information to comply with their reporting and tax paying obligations with respect to foreign controlled CFCs. U.S. investors are strongly advised to consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential application of these rules to their investment in our ordinary shares.

#### Changes in tax law relating to multinational corporations could adversely affect our tax position.
There can be no assurance that our effective tax rate will not increase over time as a result of changes in corporate income tax rates or other changes in the tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Any changes in tax laws could have an adverse impact on our financial results. Corporate tax reform, base-erosion efforts and tax transparency continue to be high priorities in many tax jurisdictions where we have business operations. As a result, policies regarding corporate income and other taxes in numerous jurisdictions are under heightened scrutiny, and tax reform legislation is being proposed or enacted in a number of jurisdictions.

------

For example, the recent Inflation Reduction Act enacted in the United States introduced, among other changes, a 15% corporate minimum tax on certain United States corporations. In addition, there is growing pressure in many jurisdictions and from multinational organizations such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") and the EU to amend existing international taxation rules in order to align the tax regimes with current global business practices. Specifically, in October 2015, the OECD published its final package of measures for reform of the international tax rules as a product of its Base Erosion and Profit Shifting ("BEPS") initiative, which was endorsed by the G20 finance ministers. Many of the initiatives in the BEPS package required and resulted in specific amendments to the domestic tax legislation of various jurisdictions and to existing tax treaties. We continuously monitor these developments. Although many of the BEPS measures have already been implemented or are currently being implemented globally (including, in certain cases, through adoption of the OECD's "multilateral convention" (to which Israel is also a party) to effect changes to tax treaties which entered into force on July 1, 2018 and through the European Union's "Anti Tax Avoidance" Directives), it is still difficult in some cases to assess to what extent these changes will have on our tax liabilities in the jurisdictions in which we conduct our business or to what extent they may impact the way in which we conduct our business or our effective tax rate due to the unpredictability and interdependency of these potential changes. In January 2019, the OECD announced further work in continuation of the BEPS project, focusing on two "pillars." In October, 2021, 137 countries approved a statement known as the OECD BEPS Inclusive Framework, which builds upon the OECD's continuation of the BEPS project. The first pillar is focused on the allocation of taxing rights between countries for in-scope large multinational enterprises (with revenue in excess of €20 billion and profitability of at least 10%) that sell goods and services into countries with little or no local physical presence. We do not expect to be within the scope of the first Pillar. The second pillar is focused on developing a global minimum tax rate of at least 15% applicable to in-scope multinational enterprises (with revenue in excess of €750 million). The agreement reached by 137 of the 140 members of the OECD BEPS Inclusive Framework calls for law enactment by OECD and G20 members in 2022 to take effect in 2023 and 2024. On December 20, 2021, the OECD published model rules to implement the Pillar Two rules and released commentary to the Pillar Two model rules in March 2022. The model rules and commentary allow the OECD BEPS Inclusive Framework members to begin implementing the Pillar Two rules in accordance with the agreement reached in October 2021. Israel is one of the 137 jurisdictions that has agreed in principle to the adoption of the global minimum tax rate. As the Two Pillar solution is subject to implementation by each member country, the timing and ultimate impact of any such changes on our tax obligations, including the impact on Preferred Technological Enterprises currently eligible for reduced corporate tax rate of 12%, is uncertain. Further, given these developments, it is generally expected that tax authorities in various jurisdictions in which we operate may increase their audit activity and may seek to challenge some of the tax positions we have adopted. It is difficult to assess if and to what extent such challenges, if raised, might impact and potentially increase our future effective tax rate.

***We do not intend to pay dividends on our ordinary shares for the foreseeable future so any returns will be limited to changes in the value of our ordinary shares.***

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our ordinary shares. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation, and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return to shareholders will therefore be limited to the increase, if any, of our share price, which may or may not occur.

#### Risks Relating to Our Incorporation and Location in Israel
***Our principal executive offices, most of our research and development activities and other significant operations are located in Israel, and therefore, our results may be adversely affected by political, economic and military instability in Israel.***

Our principal executive offices and research and development facilities are located in Israel and therefore may be influenced by regional instability and extreme security tension. Accordingly, political, economic and security conditions in Israel and the surrounding region could directly affect our business. Any political instability, terrorism, armed conflicts, cyberattacks or any other hostilities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its present trading partners could adversely affect our operations. Additionally, we may also be targeted by cyber terrorists specifically because we are an Israeli company. Ongoing and revived hostilities or other Israeli political or economic factors, could harm our operations and cause any future sales to decrease.

------

Our commercial insurance does not cover losses that may occur as a result of events associated with war and terrorism. Although the Israeli government currently covers the reinstatement value of direct damages that are caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war, we cannot guarantee that this government coverage will be maintained or that it will sufficiently cover our potential damages. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Further, our operations could be disrupted by the obligations of personnel to perform military reserves service. As of December 31, 2022, approximately 31.4% of our personnel are based in Israel, certain of whom may be called upon to perform military reserve duty, which could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Several countries restrict doing business with Israel and Israeli companies, and additional countries may impose restrictions on doing business with Israel and Israeli companies whether as a result of hostilities in the region or otherwise. In addition, there have been increased efforts by activists to cause companies and consumers to boycott Israeli goods based on Israeli government policies. Such actions, if accelerated, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Furthermore, the Israeli government has recently been pursuing legislative changes which, if adopted, will alter the current state of separation of powers among the three branches of government and, as a result, have sparked a considerable political debate. Many individuals, organizations and institutions, within and outside of Israel, have voiced concerns over the potential negative impacts of such changes and the controversy surrounding them on the business and financial environment in Israel. Such negative impacts may include, among others, a downgrade in Israel's sovereign credit rating, increased interest rates, currency fluctuations, inflation, civil unrest and volatility in securities markets, which could adversely affect the conditions in which we operate and potentially deter foreign investors and organizations from investing or transacting business in Israel. If any of the foregoing risks were to materialize, it may have an adverse effect on our business, our results of operations and our ability to raise additional funds.

***The tax benefits that are available to us require us to continue to meet various conditions and may be terminated or reduced in the future, which could increase our costs and taxes.***

We were granted an Approved Enterprise status under the Israeli Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 5719-1959 (the "Investment Law"). In the past, we elected the alternative benefits program, pursuant to which income derived from the Approved Enterprise program was tax-exempt for two years and enjoyed a reduced tax rate of 10.0% to 25.0% for up to a total of eight years, depending on the percentage of foreign investors' ownership. We were also eligible for certain tax benefits provided to Benefited Enterprises under the Investment Law. In March 2013, we notified the Israel Tax Authority that we applied the new tax Preferred Enterprise regime under the Investment Law instead of our Approved Enterprise and Benefited Enterprise. Accordingly, we were eligible for certain tax benefits provided to Preferred Enterprises under the Investment Law. If we do not meet the conditions stipulated in the Investment Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder, as amended, for the Preferred Enterprise, any of the associated tax benefits may be canceled, and we would be required to repay the amount of such benefits, in whole or in part, including interest and CPI linkage (or other monetary penalties). Starting from 2017, we were recognized as eligible for the Technological Preferred Enterprise regime, a sub-category of the Preferred Enterprise regime, which grants enhanced tax benefits to enterprises with significant research and development activities. In the future these tax benefits may be reduced or discontinued. If these tax benefits are reduced, cancelled or discontinued, our Israeli taxable income could be subject to regular Israeli corporate tax rates, which could negatively affect our financial condition and results of operation. Additionally, if we increase our activities outside of Israel through acquisitions, for example, our expanded activities may not be eligible for inclusion under future Israeli tax benefit regimes. See "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Critical Accounting Estimates—Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 5719-1959."

------

#### We may become subject to claims for remuneration or royalties for assigned service invention rights by our employees.
We enter into assignment-of-invention agreements with our employees pursuant to which such individuals agree to assign to us all rights to any inventions created in the scope of their employment or engagement with us. A significant portion of our intellectual property has been developed by our employees during the course of their employment by us. Under the Israeli Patent Law, 5727-1967, inventions conceived by an employee during the scope of his or her employment with a company are regarded as "service inventions" which belong to the employer, absent a specific agreement between the employee and employer giving the employee service invention rights. Although our employees have agreed to assign to us service invention rights, as a result of uncertainty under Israeli law with respect to service invention rights and the efficacy of related waivers, including with respect to remuneration and its extent, we may face claims demanding remuneration in consideration for assigned inventions. As a consequence of such claims, we could be required to pay additional remuneration or royalties to our current and/or former employees, or be forced to litigate such claims, which could negatively affect our business.

***As a public company incorporated in Israel, we may become subject to further compliance obligations and market trends or restrictions, which may strain our resources and divert management's attention.***

Being an Israeli publicly traded company in the United States and being subject to both U.S. and Israeli rules and regulations may make it more expensive for us to obtain directors and officers liability insurance, and we may be required to continue incurring substantially higher costs for reduced coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee, and qualified executive officers. In accordance with the provisions of the Companies Law, approval of our directors' and officers' insurance is limited to the terms of our duly approved compensation policy, unless otherwise approved by our shareholders.

***Provisions of Israeli law and our articles of association may delay, prevent, or otherwise impede a merger with or an acquisition of us, even when the terms of such a transaction are favorable to us and our shareholders.***

Our articles of association contain certain provisions that may delay or prevent a change of control. These provisions include that our directors (other than external directors, if applicable) are elected on a staggered basis, and therefore a potential acquirer cannot readily replace our entire board of directors at a single annual general shareholder meeting. In addition, Israeli corporate law regulates acquisitions of shares through tender offers and mergers, requires special approvals for transactions involving directors, officers or significant shareholders and regulates other matters that may be relevant to such types of transactions.

Furthermore, Israeli tax considerations may make potential transactions unappealing to us or to our shareholders whose country of residence does not have a tax treaty with Israel exempting such shareholders from Israeli tax. For example, Israeli tax law does not recognize tax-free share exchanges to the same extent as U.S. tax law. With respect to mergers involving an exchange of shares, Israeli tax law allows for tax deferral in certain circumstances but makes the deferral contingent on the fulfillment of a number of conditions, including, in some cases, a holding period of two years from the date of the transaction during which sales and dispositions of shares of the participating companies are subject to certain restrictions. Moreover, with respect to certain share swap transactions, the tax deferral is limited in time, and when such time expires, the tax becomes payable even if no disposition of the shares has occurred. These provisions of Israeli law and our articles of association could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control in us and may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our shareholders, and may limit the price that investors may be willing to pay in the future for our ordinary shares.

***It may be difficult to enforce a judgment of a U.S. court against us, our officers and directors or the Israeli auditors named in this annual report in Israel or the United States, to assert U.S. securities laws claims in Israel or to serve process on our officers and directors and these auditors.***

We are incorporated in Israel, the majority of our directors and executive officers, and the Israeli auditors listed in this annual report reside outside of the United States, and most of our assets and most of the assets of these persons are located outside of the United States. Therefore, a judgment obtained against us, or any of these persons, including a judgment based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws, may not be collectible in the United States and may not be enforced by an Israeli court. It also may be difficult for our shareholders to effect service of process on these persons in the United States or to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on an alleged violation of U.S. securities laws reasoning that Israel is not the most appropriate forum in which to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proven as a fact by expert witnesses, which can be a time consuming and costly process. Certain matters of the procedure will also be governed by Israeli law. There is little binding case law in Israel that addresses the matters described above. As a result of the difficulty associated with enforcing a judgment against us in Israel, our shareholders may not be able to collect any damages awarded by either a U.S. or foreign court.

------

***The rights and responsibilities of our shareholders are, and will continue to be, governed by Israeli law which differs in some material respects from the rights and responsibilities of shareholders of U.S. corporations.***

The rights and responsibilities of the holders of our ordinary shares are governed by our articles of association and by Israeli law. These rights and responsibilities differ in some material respects from the rights and responsibilities of shareholders in U.S. corporations. In particular, a shareholder of an Israeli company has a duty to act in good faith and in a customary manner in exercising its rights and performing its obligations towards the company and other shareholders, and to refrain from abusing its power in the company, including, among other things, in voting at a general meeting of shareholders on matters such as amendments to a company's articles of association, increases in a company's authorized share capital, mergers and acquisitions and related party transactions requiring shareholder approval. In addition, shareholders have a general duty to refrain from discriminating against other shareholders and a shareholder who is aware that it possesses the power to determine the outcome of a shareholder vote or to appoint or prevent the appointment of a director or chief executive officer in the company has a duty of fairness toward the company with regard to such vote or appointment. There is limited case law available to assist us in understanding the nature of this duty or the implications of these provisions. These provisions may be interpreted to impose additional obligations and liabilities on holders of our ordinary shares that are not typically imposed on shareholders of U.S. corporations. See "Item 6.C. Board Practices — Approval of Related Party Transactions under Israeli Law—Fiduciary Duties of Directors and Office Holders."

**ITEM 4.** &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**A.** **History and Development of the Company** 

#### Our History
CyberArk Software Ltd. was founded in 1999 with the vision of protecting high-value business data and pioneering our Digital Vault technology. That same year, we began offering our first product, the Sensitive Information Management Solution (previously called the Sensitive Document Vault), which provided a secure platform for our customers' employees to share sensitive files. We began with our early vaulting technology, which has enabled us to evolve into a company that provides a comprehensive solution to secure identities anchored on Privileged Access Management. In 2005, we introduced our Privileged Access Management Solution, upon which we built our leadership position in the Privileged Access Management market, providing a layer of security that protects high level and high value access across an organization. In September 2014, we listed our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq). In addition to investing in organic research and development, in 2015 we began to execute a merger and acquisition strategy and acquired Viewfinity, Inc., a provider of Windows least privilege management and application control software, as well as Cybertinel Ltd., a cybersecurity company specializing in cyber threat detection technology. In May 2017, we acquired Conjur Inc., a provider of DevOps security software. In May 2020, we acquired IDaptive Holdings, Inc., an Identity as a Service (IDaaS) provider. In March 2022, we acquired Aapi.io, a provider of no-code application integration and workflow automation solutions, and in July 2022, we acquired C3M, LLC, a provider of multi-cloud security and compliance solutions. Based on our organic investment in research and development to drive new product releases and innovation, coupled with the incremental acquisitions of selected technologies and the execution of our go-to-market strategy, today CyberArk is the global leader in Identity Security, centered on intelligent privileged controls. We enable secure access for human or machine identities to help organizations secure critical business assets and applications, protect their distributed workforce and customers, and accelerate business across cloud, hybrid and self-hosted environments. Our solutions enable Zero Trust by enforcing least privilege with continuous identity threat detection and protection.

We are a company limited by shares organized under the laws of the State of Israel. We are registered with the Israeli Registrar of Companies. Our registration number is 51-229164-2. Our principal executive offices are located at 9 Hapsagot St., Park Ofer B, POB 3143, Petach-Tikva, 4951040, Israel, and our telephone number is +972 (3) 918-0000.

#### Principal Capital Expenditures
Our cash capital expenditures for fiscal years 2020, 2021 and 2022 amounted to $7.2 million, $8.9 million, and $12.5 million, respectively. Capital expenditures consist primarily of investments in leasehold improvements for our office space, purchases of furniture, computers and related equipment and internal use software capitalization. We anticipate our capital expenditures in fiscal year 2023 to be less than 3% of revenues. We anticipate our capital expenditures in 2023 will be financed with cash on hand and cash provided by operating activities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**B.** **Business Overview** 

CyberArk is the global leader in Identity Security, centered on intelligent privilege controls, with a focus on protecting organizations against identity-based cyberattacks. We apply intelligent privilege controls to all identities – human & machine – with continuous threat detection and prevention across the entire identity lifecycle. With CyberArk, organizations can enable Zero Trust and least privilege with complete visibility, ensuring that every identity can securely access any approved resource, located anywhere, from everywhere – with a single Identity Security Platform.

As the category-defining leader in Privileged Access Management, we are uniquely positioned to deliver on Identity Security because our core competency is securing the "keys to the kingdom." These "keys to the kingdom" enable our customers to control access to sensitive infrastructure and applications; keeping them out of the hands of malicious or careless insiders or external attackers and preventing disruption to the business.

With the rapid rise in mobile workers, hybrid and multi-cloud adoption, and digitalization of the enterprise, physical and network security barriers are less relevant for securing data and assets than ever before. Compromised identities and their associated privileges now represent the fastest attack path to an organization's most valuable assets. As a result, identity controls are now becoming the new security perimeter and are a critical foundation for implementing Zero Trust strategies. Our approach is unique as CyberArk recognizes that every identity can become privileged under certain conditions, and we offer the broadest range of security controls to reduce that risk while delivering a high-quality experience to the end user. This includes securing workforce, partner and customer identities by replacing complex, patchworked and siloed legacy access and privileged access management solutions to improve security and operational efficiencies.

During 2022, we continued to add new customers and cross sell to existing customers directly and through channels. As of December 31, 2022, we had more than 8,000 customers, including more than 55% of Fortune 500 companies and more than 35% of Global 2000 companies. Our customers include leading organizations in a diverse set of industries, including financial services, manufacturing, insurance, healthcare, energy and utilities, transportation, retail, technology, and telecommunications, as well as federal and local government agencies in multiple countries. We sell our solutions through a high-touch hybrid model that includes direct sales, channel sales, managed security service providers, and advisory firm partners.

In the first quarter of 2022, we successfully accomplished our goal to have at least 85% of sales comprised of subscriptions, including both SaaS and self-hosted subscriptions. As we continue to sell more subscription licenses and services, we expect perpetual licenses to continue to decline as a percentage of overall sales. Throughout 2023, we will continue to build on this momentum and operate as a subscription company.

#### Industry Background
Securing identities and their associated privileges are a main focus of product investment due to the growth of our market and several key drivers that we have identified based on multi-year trends.

**Digital Transformation and Shift Left**: The digitalization of business creates a larger digital landscape full of opportunities for improved engagement with customers, vendors and employees, but also greater exposure to cyber threats. New digital technologies require expanded privileged access for both humans and machines that must be properly secured. Companies are adopting DevOps methodologies to speed the pace of innovation. Hybrid and multi-cloud adoption drive the need for centralized solutions that help secure access of all types enterprise-wide. This trend has continued as companies provide hybrid and remote capabilities for the workforce and look for additional online options to stay viable.

**Cloud Migration and SaaS Applications**: Broad acceptance and adoption of hybrid and cloud-based infrastructure, the level of speed and automation across IT environments, and an increasing reliance on SaaS applications, significantly impact how organizations approach security. Until a few years ago, organizations would typically prioritize protection of their most critical systems and data, with a particular focus on protecting privileged access. "Privileged users" were understood at the time to be mostly IT administrators accessing shared administrative accounts in systems and applications. However, in today's cloud and SaaS environment, every identity can become privileged under certain conditions.

All identities operating in a modern environment (such as employees, partners, IT administrators, DevOps team members and developers, applications and robots, vendors and customers) might have some level of privilege that, if improperly secured, can provide an attack path into an organization's most valuable assets. This trend is coupled with the rapid expansion and adoption of hybrid and cloud infrastructure, applications and application programming interfaces (APIs), mobile and remote workers, and use of third parties. We now live in a world where the number, types and interrelationships of identities have exploded, creating new dimensions to the threat landscape.

In addition, the underlying environments are highly dynamic with much more ephemeral infrastructure where compute capacity is easily scaled up or scaled down. The rates of change in these modern environments are exponentially faster, which requires organizations to implement more automation into their identity security controls for both traditional and cloud native applications built using DevOps methodologies.

------

**Zero Trust Security**: A conventional security approach that relies on perimeter-based security is relatively less effective and applicable in a modern environment, as organizations adopt cloud and SaaS applications and as more of the workforce continues to work remotely. In parallel, it has become increasingly difficult to keep attackers out of an organization's network altogether. The expansion of the attack surface and prevalence of threats has led to a growing application of a Zero Trust approach to security.

While traditional, perimeter-based security relies on a strategy of trying to separate legitimate users from threat actors and assumes that systems and traffic within the corporate networks and datacenters can be trusted, Zero Trust assumes that the threat actors have already established a network presence and have access to an organization's applications and systems. In a Zero Trust security model, organizations aim to have every identity continuously authenticated and authorized before granting it access.

Zero Trust is not a single technology, but an approach that ensures every user's identity is verified, their device is validated, and their access is intelligently limited to just what they need – and taken away when they no longer need it. CyberArk's Identity Security solutions deliver capabilities that are foundational to adopting a Zero Trust approach.

**Skills Gap**: The skills gap in cybersecurity creates meaningful challenges, not only for Chief Security Officers (CISOs), but also for implementing mission-critical strategic initiatives. As cloud adoption accelerates the speed of business, companies are relying more heavily on applications, technology and automation to compete. CISOs are evaluating staffing requirements for adding new security tools and implementing new projects and business initiatives. To address the staffing shortage and skills gap, organizations are looking at opportunities to consolidate vendors and increase the implementation of automation to free up security and IT teams to focus on more value-added initiatives.

**Governance and Compliance**: Industry regulations such as Sarbanes Oxley (SOX), Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI), SWIFT Customer Security Controls Framework, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) and security frameworks such as National Institute of Standards (NIST) and the Center for Internet Security (CIS), for example, all have stringent requirements to uphold strong Identity Security controls to maintain data privacy and sovereignty. Interest in CyberArk's Identity Security solutions is also being fueled by customers who are purchasing cyber insurance policies and need to provide proof of implementation of proper Identity Security controls to obtain insurance coverage and lower their premiums.

#### Our Solutions
Our Identity Security Platform provides a complete and flexible set of Identity Security capabilities across six main solution areas: Workforce and Customer Access, Endpoint Privilege Security, Privileged Access Management, Secrets Management, Cloud Privilege Security, and Identity Management.

![](image00002.jpg)

------

#### Privileged Access Management
CyberArk's Privileged Access Management solutions can be used to secure, manage, and monitor privileged access. Privileged accounts can be found on endpoints, in applications, and from hybrid to multi-cloud environments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o **Privileged Access Manager.** CyberArk Privileged Access Manager and CyberArk Privilege
 Cloud include risk-based credential security and session management to protect against attacks involving privileged access. CyberArk's
 self-hosted Privileged Access Manager solution can be deployed in a self-hosted data center or in a hybrid cloud or a public cloud environment.
 CyberArk Privileged Cloud is a SaaS solution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o **Vendor Privileged Access Manager**. CyberArk Vendor Privileged Access Manager combines Privileged
 Access Manager or Privilege Cloud and Remote Access, a SaaS solution, to provide fast, easy and secure privileged access to third-party
 vendors who need access to critical internal systems via CyberArk, without the need to use passwords. By not requiring VPNs or agents,
 Vendor Privileged Access Manager removes operational overhead for administrators, makes it easier and quicker to deploy and improves organizational
 security.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o **Dynamic Privileged Access**. CyberArk Dynamic Privileged Access is a SaaS solution that provisions
 just-in-time (JIT), privileged access to Linux Virtual Machines (VMs hosted in AWS and Azure and on-premises windows servers). The solution
 leverages attribute-based access control (ABAC) and full session isolation to drive measurable risk reduction. Dynamic Privileged Access
 allows organizations to unify controls for JIT and standing privileged access across public cloud and on-premises systems, enabling operational
 efficiencies while progressing towards Zero Standing Privileges (ZSP) and Zero Trust initiatives.

#### Endpoint Privilege Security
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o **Endpoint Privilege Manager.** CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is a SaaS solution that secures
 privileges on the endpoint (Windows servers, Windows desktops and Mac desktops) and helps contain attacks early in their lifecycle. It
 enables revocation of local administrator rights, while minimizing impact on user productivity, by seamlessly elevating privileges for
 authorized applications or tasks. Application control, with automatic policy creation, allows organizations to prevent malicious applications
 from executing, and runs unknown applications in a restricted mode. This, combined with credential theft protection, helps prevent malware
 such as ransomware from gaining a foothold and contains attacks on the endpoint.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o **Secure Desktop.** CyberArk Secure Desktop solution lets businesses protect access to endpoints and enforce the principle of least privilege without complicating
 IT operations or hindering user productivity. The unified endpoint multifactor authentication and privilege management solution helps
 organizations strengthen access security, optimize user experiences, and eliminate the manually intensive, error-prone administrative
 processes that can lead to over provisioning and privilege abuse.

------

#### Workforce & Customer Access
We deliver robust Identity as a Service (IDaaS) which provides a comprehensive Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based and security-first approach to managing identities that is both adaptive and context-aware. CyberArk Identity includes capabilities to secure both workforce and customer identities.

**Workforce Identity** offers:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o **Adaptive Multi-factor Authentication (MFA**). Adaptive MFA enables an enterprise to enforce risk-aware
 and strong identity assurance controls within the organization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o **Single Sign-On (SSO).** SSO is the ability to use a single secure identity to access all
 applications and resources within an organization. CyberArk Identity enables SSO for all types of users (workforce, partners, and consumers)
 to all types of workstations, systems, VPNs, and applications both in the cloud and on-premises.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o **Secure Web Sessions.** Secure Web Sessions records, audits and protects end-user activity
 within designated web applications. The solution uses a browser extension on an end-user's endpoint to monitor and segregate web
 apps that are accessed through SSO and deemed sensitive by business application owners, enterprise IT and security administrators.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o **Workforce Password Management.** CyberArk Workforce Password Management is an enterprise-focused
 password manager providing a user-friendly solution to store data from business applications -like website URLs, usernames, passwords
 and notes – in a centralized vault and securely share it with other users in the organization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o **Application Gateway**. With the CyberArk Identity Application Gateway service, customers
 can enable secure remote access and expand SSO benefits to on-premises web apps — like SharePoint and SAP — without the complexity
 of installing and maintaining VPNs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o **Identity Lifecycle Management.** This module enables CyberArk Identity customers to automate
 the joiner, mover, and leaver processes within the organization. This automation is critical to ensure that privileges don't accumulate,
 and a user's access is turned off as soon as the individual changes roles or leaves the organization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o **Directory Services.** Allows customers to use identity where they control it. In other words, we do not force our customers to synchronize their on-premises
 Active Directory implementation with our cloud. Our cloud architecture can work seamlessly with any existing directory, such as Active
 Directory, LDAP-based directories, and other federated directories. CyberArk Identity also provides its own highly scalable and flexible
 directory for customers who choose to use it.

**Customer Identity** offers authentication and authorization services, MFA, directory, and user management to enable organizations to provide customers and partners with easy and secure access to websites and applications.

In alignment with our Identity Security strategy, we sell packaged offerings that align with the requirements of workforce users, privileged users, and external vendors. The workforce user offering includes credential vaulting and sharing, Adaptive MFA, and SSO. The privileged users offering includes full credential management, session management, and Remote Access. The external vendor offering aligns to the capabilities detailed above for Vendor Privileged Access Manager.

------

#### Secrets Management
Our capabilities in the area of Secrets Management are focused on securing secrets used by machine identities such as applications, scripts, containers, DevOps tools, and third-party security solutions. Secrets Manager enables organizations to avoid the need to store secrets within applications and instead allows them to easily and securely access the required credentials from the CyberArk Vault. Secrets Manager supports traditional applications with its Credential Providers and dynamic applications with Conjur.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o **Secrets Manager Credential Providers.** Credential Providers can be used to provide and manage
 the credentials used by third-party solutions such as security tools, RPA, and IT management software, and also supports internally developed
 applications built on traditional monolithic application architectures. Credential Providers works with CyberArk's on-premises and
 SaaS based solutions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o **Conjur Secrets Manager and Conjur Cloud Secrets Manager.** For cloud-native applications
 built using DevOps methodologies, Conjur Enterprise and Conjur Cloud provide a secrets management solution tailored specifically to the
 unique requirements of these environments delivered either on-premises or in the cloud. We also provide an open-source version to better
 meet the needs of the developer community.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o **AWS Secrets Hub.** For organizations developing in AWS Secrets Manager, Secrets Hub centrally
 manages and rotates secrets in CyberArk's Conjur while enabling developers to continue to develop in the native AWS environment.

#### Cloud Privilege Security
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o **Cloud Entitlements Manager.** CyberArk Cloud Entitlements Manager is a SaaS solution that reduces
 risks that arise from excessive privileges by implementing Least Privilege across cloud environments. From a centralized dashboard, Cloud
 Entitlements Manager provides visibility and control of permissions across an organization's cloud landscape. Within this single
 display, Cloud Entitlements Manager offers automatically deployable remediations based on the principle of Least Privilege, to help organizations
 strategically remove excessive permissions without disrupting cloud operations.

#### Identity Management
Our capabilities in Identity Management include Lifecycle Management, Identity Flows, Identity Compliance and directory services. Our Identity Management solutions are designed to provide a single view of who has access to what, ensuring that the right access is granted for the right amount of time to the right people. CyberArk Lifecycle Management streamlines provisioning and management of entitlements throughout a user's employment, including approval workflows, access certifications and providing and revoking access. CyberArk Identity Flows is a no-code identity management workflow solution that reduces complexity and manual tasks to easily create workflows and automate business processes. CyberArk Identity Compliance enables customers to discover, certify, remediate and audit access, ensuring that an organization can implement Zero Trust across the enterprise.

#### Our Technology
Our portfolio provides a complete and flexible set of Identity Security capabilities that leverage the following core technologies:

***Identity Security Platform Shared Services.*** Our Shared Services enable operational efficiencies, leveraging a single admin portal with unified audit, consistent authentication and authorization for all identities and Identity Security intelligence. The platform allows for secure role-based access to CyberArk SaaS through a single user interface to improve operational efficiencies for CyberArk solutions.

***Secure Digital Vault Technology.*** Our proprietary Digital Vault technology provides a highly secure, isolated environment, independent of other software, and is engineered with multiple layers of security. Our on-premises and SaaS PAM solutions use the highly secured Digital Vault to safely store, audit and manage passwords, privileged credentials, policy information and privileged access session data.

***Privileged Session Recording and Controls.*** Our innovative privileged session recording and control mechanisms provide the ability to isolate an organization's IT systems from end-user desktops, while monitoring and auditing privileged session activities. The architecture blocks direct communication between an end-user's desktop and a target system, thus preventing potential malware on the desktop from infiltrating the target system. This architecture further ensures that privileged credentials will remain protected and will not be exposed to the end-user or reach the desktop. CyberArk session monitoring solutions support native connectivity, whether from browser, native RDP or SSH tools, and via the CLI (Command Line Interface). Risk scoring can be applied to each recorded session, automating the review of all privileged sessions and enabling auditors to prioritize and deprioritize workloads based on risk.

------

***Secure Remote Access***. The cloud-based, multifactor authentication provided with Remote Access leverages the biometric capabilities from smartphones which in turn allows authorized remote vendors simple just-in-time secure privileged access. Once authenticated, all privileged sessions are automatically recorded for full audit and monitored in real-time.

***Strong Application Authentication and Credential Management.*** The Secrets Manager architecture allows an organization to eliminate hard-coded application credentials, such as passwords and encryption keys, from applications and scripts. Our secure, proprietary technology permits authentication of an application during run-time, based on any combination of the application's signature, executable path or IP address, and operating system user. Following application authentication, the authenticated application uses a secure application programming interface (API), to request privileged account credentials during run-time and, based on the application permissions in Privileged Access Manager, up-to-date credentials are provided to the application.

***Strong Endpoint Security.*** Our endpoint agent technology provides policy-based privilege management, application control and credential theft protection capabilities. The agent detects privileged commands, and application installation or invocation on the endpoint to validate whether it is permissible in accordance with the organization's security policy, otherwise blocking the operation or allowing it to run in a restricted mode. Having users operate in a least privilege mode together with our agent-based technology effectively reduces the attack surface that attackers or malware can exploit. The solution leverages third-party threat and reputation information to further strengthen controls and block bad or malicious applications based on such security intelligence.

***Adaptive Multi-factor Authentication***. Our Adaptive Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) enforces risk-aware and strong identity assurance controls within an organization. These controls include a broad range of built-in authentication factors such as passwordless authenticators like Windows Hello and Apple TouchID, high assurance authenticators like USB security keys, and our patented Zero Sign-on certificate-based authentication.

***Single Sign-on***. Our Single Sign-on (SSO) solution facilitates the secure access to many different applications, systems, and resources while only requiring a single authentication. Our SSO solution offers a modern identity provider supporting popular SSO protocols to any system or app that supports SAML, WS-Fed, OIDC and OAuth2, as well as an extensive application catalog with out-of-the-box integration for thousands of applications.

#### Our Customers
As of December 31, 2022, we had more than 8,000 customers, including more than 55% of Fortune 500 companies and more than 35% of Global 2000 companies. Our customers include leading organizations in a diverse set of industries, including financial services, manufacturing, insurance, healthcare, energy and utilities, transportation, retail, technology and telecommunications, as well as government agencies.

Our business is not dependent on any particular customer. No customer or channel partner accounted for more than 10% of our revenues in the last three years. Our diverse global footprint is evidenced by the fact that in 2022, we generated 52.9% of our revenues from customers in the United States, 30.1% from the EMEA region and 17.0% from the rest of the world, including countries in North and South America other than the United States, and countries in the Asia Pacific and Japan region.

------

In July 2022, we hosted our 16th annual CyberArk IMPACT Conference for customers, partners and prospects in Boston, MA, with more than 1,000 attendees. The event included a hybrid/virtual component for those who could not travel to attend in-person. Later in the year, we extended this concept to a global series, branded CyberArk IMPACT World Tour and hosted similar events in 14 other cities around the globe, with hundreds of customers, partners and prospects attending at each city. With more than 3,000 attendees in-person, IMPACT and IMPACT World Tour represent the largest Identity Security conference worldwide.

#### Sales
We believe that our hybrid sales model, which combines the leverage of high-touch, channel sales with the account control of direct sales, has played an important role in the growth of our customer base to date. We maintain a highly trained sales force that is responsible for developing and closing new business, the management of relationships with our channel partners and the support and expansion of relationships with existing customers. Our sales organization is organized by geographic regions, consisting of the Americas, EMEA, Asia Pacific and Japan. As of December 31, 2022, our global network of channel partners consisted of more than 450 resellers, distributors, and managed service providers. Our channel partners generally complement our sales efforts by helping identify potential sales targets, maintaining relationships with certain customers, introducing new products to existing customers, and offering post-sale professional services and technical support. In 2022, we generated approximately 24% of our revenues from direct sales from our field offices located throughout the world. We work with many global systems integration partners and several leading regional security value added resellers, such as Optiv Security Inc., Merlin International, Computacenter United States Inc., Netpoleon, SHI, M.Tech and GuidePoint Security. These companies were each among our top 15 channel partners in 2021 and 2022 by revenues, and we have derived a meaningful amount of revenues from sales to each of them during the last two years. Further, we work with advisory firms such as Deloitte, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, and KPMG in co-marketing and co-delivery of our solutions and providing implementation services to our customers.

Through CyberArk's C<sup>3</sup> Alliance, our global technology partner program, we bring together enterprise software, IT, Security, and cloud providers to build on the power of Identity Security to better protect customers from cyber threats. Our CyberArk Marketplace provides a trusted platform for customers to easily find and deploy integrations from the C<sup>3</sup> Alliance, partners, and community members.

Our sales cycle varies by size of the customer, the number of products purchased and the complexity of the customer's IT infrastructure, ranging from several weeks for incremental sales to existing customers to several months for large deployments. We also typically experience seasonality in our sales, particularly demonstrated by increased sales in the last month of a quarter and the last quarter of the year. To support our broadly dispersed global channel partners and customer base in our hybrid model, we had sales personnel in 41 countries as of December 31, 2022. We plan to continue investing in our sales organization to support both the growth of our channel partners and our direct sales organization.

#### Professional and Support Services

#### Maintenance and Support
Our maintenance and support program provides all customers who purchase maintenance and support in conjunction with their perpetual licenses, and customers who purchase self-hosted and SaaS subscriptions, the right to software bug repairs, the latest software enhancements, and updates on an if-and-when available basis during the maintenance period or subscription term, and access to our technical support services. Customers who purchase maintenance and support in conjunction with their initial perpetual license purchase typically buy for one year or three years, and can subsequently continue to renew maintenance and support for additional one- or three-year periods. These two alternative maintenance and support periods are common in the software industry. Customers typically pay for each alternative in full at the beginning of their terms. However, in select situations, customers can opt for annual payments.

Our technical support services are provided to perpetual and subscription customers via our online support center, which enables customers to submit new support queries and monitor the status of open and past queries. Our online support system also provides customers with access to our CyberArk Knowledge Base, an online user-driven information repository that provides customers the ability to address their own queries. Additionally, we offer email and telephone support during business hours to customers that purchase a standard support package and 24/7 availability to customers that purchase our 24/7 support or subscription package.

Our global customer support organization has expertise in our software and how it interacts with complex IT environments. We typically provide all levels of support directly to our customers. However, when sales are made through channels, the channel partner may provide the first and second level support, and we typically provide third level support if the issue cannot be resolved by the channel partner.

------

#### Professional Services
Our products are designed to allow for online trials, or to allow customers to download, install and deploy them on their own or with training and professional assistance. Our solutions are highly configurable, and many customers will select either one of our many trained channel partners or our CyberArk Security Services team to provide expert professional services. Our Security Services team can be contracted to assist customers in planning, installing, and configuring our solution to meet the needs of their security and IT environment, and provide technical account management services. Our Security Services team provides ongoing consulting services regarding best practices for achieving Identity Security, and recommended ways to implement our solutions to meet specific customer requirements. Additionally, they share best practices associated with Identity Security to educate customers and partners on such best practices through virtual classroom, live face-to-face, or self-paced classes. We also have Red Team services, which specialize in adversary simulations to test customers' and prospects' cloud and hybrid environments, DevOps pipelines and processes to help make their environment more secure.

In 2021, we introduced new professional services solutions aimed at delivering faster time to value and helping customers streamline the deployment of certain CyberArk SaaS products, while providing a resource to help to implement a phased approach to a Privileged Access Management program, from planning, to pilot, to production. In addition, in 2022, we expanded our professional services packages by offering outcome-based services that corresponded with each of our SaaS solutions.

The most comprehensive program of its kind, CyberArk Blueprint is designed to help customers take a future-proof, phased and measurable approach to reducing Identity Security risks. The experience of the CyberArk Labs and Red Team (CyberArk teams involved in cybersecurity research) and incident response engagements shows that nearly every targeted attack follows a similar pattern of identity and privileged credential compromise. These patterns influenced CyberArk Blueprint's three guiding principles, which are foundational to the program: prevent credential theft; stop lateral and vertical movement; and limit privilege escalation and abuse. The CyberArk Blueprint uses a simple, prescriptive approach based on these guiding principles to reduce risk across five stages of Identity Security maturity. Customers benefit from being able to prioritize quick wins, progressively address advanced Identity Security use cases, and align security controls to digital transformation efforts across hybrid environments.

#### Research and Development
Continued investment in research and development is critical to our business. Our research and development efforts are focused primarily on improving and continuing to enhance existing products and services, as well as developing new solutions, services, products, features and functionality to meet market needs. We believe the timely development of new products and capabilities is essential to maintaining our competitive position. The majority of our solutions are delivered as SaaS, in which we regularly incorporate new features and enhancements to existing features. We also maintain a dedicated CyberArk Labs team that researches reported cyber-attacks, the attackers' techniques and post-exploit methods that lead to new security development initiatives for our products, and provides thought-leadership on new product capabilities and targeted attack mitigation.

As of December 31, 2022, we had 901 employees focused on research and development. We conduct our research and development activities primarily in Israel, as well as other locations such as the United States and India. We believe this provides access to world class engineering talent. Our research and development expenses were $95.4 million, $142.1 million, and $190.3 million in 2020, 2021, and 2022, respectively.

#### Intellectual Property
We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our technology and the related intellectual property.

As of December 31, 2022, we had 130 issued patents in the U.S., and 49 pending U.S. patent applications. We also had 59 issued patents and 20 applications pending for examination in non-U.S. jurisdictions, all of which are counterparts of our U.S. patent applications. We expect to file additional patent applications in the future.

The inventions for which we have sought patent protection relate to current and future elements of our products and technology. The following list of products identifies some of those with patent-protected features, but other products may also be protected by one or more patents: Privileged Access Security (PAS) solutions, including Privileged Access Manager, Vendor Privileged Access Manager, Privileged Session Manager (PSM), Enterprise Password Vault (EPV), Privilege Cloud, CyberArk DNA (Discovery and Audit), Privileged Threat Analytics (PTA), Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM), Sensitive Information Management (SIM) and Cloud Entitlements Manager (CEM); Secret Management Solutions, including Conjur Secrets Manager Enterprise, Conjur Secrets Manager Open Source, Credential Providers, Secretless and Secretless Broker; and Access Management Solutions, including CyberArk Identity, Workforce Identity, Customer Identity and Secure Web Sessions.

------

We generally enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, service providers, resellers and customers and generally limit internal and external access to, and distribution of, our proprietary information and proprietary technology through certain procedural safeguards. These agreements and measures may not effectively prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of our intellectual property or technology and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of our intellectual property or technology.

Our industry is characterized by the existence of many relevant patents and frequent claims and related litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. Leading companies in the security industry have extensive patent portfolios. As our market position continues to grow, we believe that competitors will be more likely to try to develop products that are like ours and that may infringe our proprietary rights. It may also be more likely that competitors or third parties will claim that our products infringe their proprietary rights. From time to time, third parties have asserted and may assert their patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights against us, our channel partners, users, or customers, whom our standard license and other agreements may obligate us to indemnify against such claims under certain circumstances. Successful claims of infringement or misappropriation by a third party could prevent us from developing, distributing, licensing, using certain products, performing certain services or could require us to pay substantial damages (including, for example, treble damages if we are found to have willfully infringed patents and increased statutory damages if we are found to have willfully infringed copyrights), royalties or other fees. Such claims also could require us to expend additional development resources to attempt to redesign our products or services or otherwise to develop non-infringing technology; enter into potentially unfavorable royalty or license agreements to obtain the right to use necessary technologies or intellectual property rights; and to indemnify our customers and partners (and parties associated with them). Even if third parties may offer a license to their technology, the terms of any offered license may not be acceptable, and the failure to obtain a license or the costs associated with any license could cause our business, results of operations or financial condition to be materially and adversely affected.

#### Competition
The IT security market in which we operate is characterized by intense competition, constant innovation, rapid adoption of different technological solutions and services, and evolving security threats. We compete with multiple established and emerging companies that offer a broad array of IT security products that employ different approaches and delivery models.

Specifically, our Identity Security Platform competes across a variety of markets and competitors, including, but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Privileged Access Management (PAM), including Endpoint Privilege Management, such as Delinea and BeyondTrust;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Identity and Access Management, such as Okta and Microsoft; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Secrets Management, including broad DevOps solutions, such as Hashi Corporation.

The maturity and growth of the IT Security market could also make it appealing for new players, such as large or emerging cybersecurity vendors or those in related markets (Endpoint, Cloud Security, DevOps or Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)), to enter markets where we specialize. Additionally, consolidation among cybersecurity vendors may create an opportunity for our competitors to provide a greater breadth of offerings, including more integrations and bundled products. This may create a competitive disadvantage, regardless of the performance and features of our offerings if customers prefer to utilize one vendor for multiple cybersecurity capabilities. Furthermore, organizations continuously evaluate their security priorities and investments and may allocate their IT security budgets to other solutions and strategies, including solutions offered by our competitors, and may not adopt or expand use of our solutions. Accordingly, we may also compete for budget priority, to a certain extent, with other cybersecurity solutions offered by Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, and Crowdstrike Holdings. The principal competitive factors in our market include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o the breadth and completeness of a security solution;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o reliability and effectiveness in protecting, detecting and responding to cyberattacks;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o analytics and accountability at an individual user level;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o ability of customers to achieve and maintain compliance with compliance standards and audit requirements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o strength of sale and marketing efforts, including advisory firms and channel partner relationships;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o global reach and customer base;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o scalability and ease of integration with an organization's existing IT infrastructure and security investments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o brand awareness and reputation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o innovation and thought leadership;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o quality of customer support and professional services;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o speed at which a solution can be deployed and implemented; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o price of a solution and cost of maintenance and professional services.

We believe we compete favorably with our competitors based on these factors. However, some of our current competitors may enjoy one or some combination of potential competitive advantages, such as greater name recognition, longer operating history, larger market share, larger existing user base and greater financial, technical, and operational capabilities.

#### Properties
Our corporate headquarters are in Petach-Tikva, Israel in an office consisting of approximately 139,100 square feet to which we moved in September 2017. The current lease expires in September 2027 with an extension option for one successive 24-month period. Our U.S. headquarters are in Newton, Massachusetts in an office consisting of approximately 32,463 square feet. The lease expires in June 2026 with an extension option for the entire premises through 2034. We maintain additional offices in Israel, the U.S., the U.K., Singapore, France, Germany, Australia, Japan, India, and the Netherlands. We believe that our facilities are sufficient to meet our current needs and that we will be able to obtain additional facilities on commercially reasonable terms if we require additional space to accommodate our growth.

#### Internal Cybersecurity
As we offer Identity Security solutions and services, we are sensitive to potential cyber-attacks that may result in unauthorized access to our information, and potentially that of our customers. We are also aware that, being an Israeli company, we may be targeted by cyber terrorists, cyber criminals, nation-state actors, or nation-state affiliated actors. Any actual or perceived breach of our networks, systems or data may have an adverse impact on the market perception of our solutions and services and may expose us to potential liability.

For more information regarding the risks involved with cybersecurity, see "Item 3.D. Risk Factors— Real or perceived security vulnerabilities and gaps in our solutions or services or the failure of our customers or third parties to correctly implement, manage and maintain our solutions, may result in significant reputational, financial, and legal adverse impact" and"—If our internal IT network systems, or those of our third-party providers, are compromised by cyberattacks or other security incidents, or by a critical system disruption or failure, then our reputation, financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected."

We are focused on continuously implementing and maintaining technologies and solutions to assist in the prevention of potential cyber-attacks, as well as protective measures and contingency plans in the event of an actual attack. We maintain cybersecurity risk management policies and procedures, including internal controls, audits and disclosure protocols for handling and responding to cybersecurity events. These policies and procedures include internal notifications and engagements and, as necessary, cooperation with law enforcement. Our controls are designed to limit and monitor access to our systems, networks, and data, prevent inappropriate or unauthorized access or modification, and monitor for threats or vulnerabilities. We periodically review and modify our cybersecurity risk management policies and procedures to reflect changes in technology, the regulatory environment, industry and security practices and other business needs. We conduct periodic trainings for our employees, including on phishing, malware and other cybersecurity risks, and we have mechanisms in place designed to promote rapid internal reporting of potential or actual cybersecurity breaches.

------

We made significant investments in technical and organizational measures to establish and manage compliance with laws and regulations governing our activities regarding protected data (such as GDPR), which enhance our data protection and cybersecurity. Furthermore, we monitor cybersecurity risks, certifications or assessments at our third-party cloud infrastructure providers and other IT service providers and reevaluate those contractual relationships as appropriate.

The audit committee of our board periodically reviews our cybersecurity risks and controls with senior management, keeping our board informed of key issues.

#### Government Regulations
For information regarding the material effects of government regulations, see "—Industry Background" above, "Item 3.D. Risk Factors— The dynamic regulatory environment around privacy and data protection, may limit our offering or require modification of our products and services, which could limit our ability to attract new customers and support our current customers and increase our operational expenses. We could also be subject to investigations, litigation, or enforcement actions alleging that we fail to comply with the regulatory requirements which could harm our operating results and adversely affect our business," "—We are subject to a number of regulatory and geopolitical risks, associated with global sales and operations, which could materially affect our business," and "The tax benefits that are available to us require us to continue to meet various conditions and may be terminated or reduced in the future, which could increase our costs and taxes," and "Item 5.

#### Company Overview
CyberArk is a global leader in Identity Security, centered on intelligent privilege controls, with a focus on protecting organizations against identity-based cyberattacks. CyberArk applies intelligent privilege controls to all identities – human and machine – with continuous threat detection and prevention across the entire identity lifecycle. With CyberArk, organizations can enable Zero Trust and least privilege with complete visibility, ensuring that every identity can securely access any approved resource, located anywhere, from everywhere – with a single Identity Security Platform.

We secure access for human or machine identities to help organizations secure critical business assets, protect their distributed workforce and customers, and accelerate business in the cloud. CyberArk's vision is to deliver an Identity Security Platform that contextually authenticates each identity, dynamically authorizes the least amount of privilege required, secures credentials, and thoroughly audits the entire cycle – giving organizations peace of mind to drive their businesses fearlessly forward.

As the category-defining leader in Privileged Access Management, we are uniquely positioned to deliver on Identity Security because our core competency is securing the "keys to the kingdom." These "keys to the kingdom" enable our customers to control access to sensitive infrastructure and applications, keeping them out of the hands of malicious or careless insiders or external attackers and preventing disruption to the business.

Securing these human and machine identities is now more important than ever. With the rapid rise in mobile workers, hybrid and multi-cloud adoption, and digitalization of the enterprise, physical and network security barriers are less relevant at securing data and assets than ever before. Compromised identities and their associated privileges represent an attack path to an organization's most valuable assets. We believe that identity has become the new security perimeter and is at the foundation of Zero Trust security models. Our approach is unique since CyberArk recognizes that every identity can become privileged under certain conditions, and we offer the broadest range of security controls to reduce risk while delivering a high-quality experience to the end user. This includes securing workforce, partner, and customer identities by replacing complex, patchworked, and siloed legacy access management solutions to improve security and operational efficiencies.

Prior to 2020, we primarily derived our revenues by licensing our cybersecurity software, selling maintenance and support contracts, and providing professional services. We began executing our transition to a subscription business model in early 2021, and, in the first quarter of 2022, we reached our subscription selling goals of at least 85% of our sales through subscriptions, including both SaaS and self-hosted subscriptions. We believe that annual recurring revenue (ARR), subscription portion of ARR, recurring revenues, Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO), and total deferred revenue are indicators of the overall health of the business. For the full year 2022, we increased our ARR by 45% to $570 million as of December 31, 2022. The growth in ARR was driven by an increase in our self-hosted and SaaS subscriptions revenues. Our subscription revenues increased by 108.5% to $280.6 million in 2022, and recurring revenues increased by 43% to $498.3 million in 2022.

We plan to continue to invest in research and development in order to continue to develop technology to protect modern enterprises from Identity Security risk from hybrid to cloud-native environments. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, our revenues were $464.4 million, $502.9 million and $591.7 million, respectively, representing year-over-year growth of 8.3% and 17.7% in 2021 and 2022, respectively. Our net loss for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 was $(5.8) million, $(83.9) million and $(130.4) million, respectively.

We have also increased our number of employees and subcontractors from 2,140 as of December 31, 2021 to 2,768 as of December 31, 2022. We intend to continue to execute on our strategy of growing our business to meet the needs of our customers and to pursue opportunities in new and existing verticals, geographies, and products. We intend to continue to invest in our sales and marketing teams, with a particular focus on expanding our channel partnerships, targeting new customers, expanding our relationships with existing customers, creating technology partnerships and further building out our customer success operations for existing customers.

#### Key Performance Indicators and Recent Business Developments
In early 2021, we began to actively transition our business to a subscription model by incentivizing our team to shift our sales from perpetual licenses to recurring subscriptions, including SaaS and self-hosted subscriptions. In the first quarter of 2022, we reached our subscription selling goals of at least 85% of our sales through subscriptions, including both SaaS and self-hosted subscriptions. Revenue recognition for our subscription offerings is ratable compared to sales of perpetual licenses, which results in the entire perpetual license portion recognized as revenue upfront and only revenue from the related maintenance contract recognized ratably. As a result of our business model transition, our revenues, operating income (loss) and net loss continue to be adversely impacted by the increase in ratable revenue recognition, while actual and planned operating expenses continue to increase to support our growth, innovation and scaling of our business. We also expect maintenance revenues associated with perpetual license contracts to decline in the near term. Over the medium term we expect maintenance revenues associated with perpetual license contracts to decline annually as part of our transition to a subscription business model. In addition, the shift toward a recurring revenue business is resulting in an increase in single year payment terms for our customer contracts, which is customary in a subscription business model, in contrast to upfront payments for multi-year maintenance contracts and upfront payments for perpetual licenses we experienced in the perpetual license model. Lastly, the duration of our contract length for our self-hosted subscriptions also impacts the amount of recognized revenue in a period. These dynamics are having an adverse impact on our profitability and net cash provided by operating activities in the near term. Over the long term, we expect the subscription model to result in higher visibility, stronger durability of our business and the return to profitability and strong cash flow. The subscription business model is directly aligned with the broad market trends related to digital transformation and cloud migration as well as our Identity Security strategy.

As we move forward with the transition, we are focusing on the following metrics to evaluate the health of our business:

|  | **2020** | **2021** | **2022** |
|  | **($ in millions)** | **($ in millions)** | **($ in millions)** |
| Total ARR (as of period-end) | $274 | $393 | $570 |

| Deferred revenue (as of period-end)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  | $243 | $317 | $408 |
| RPO (as of period-end)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>| $363 | $516 | $713 |

---

*ARR.* Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) is a performance indicator that provides more visibility into the growth of our recurring business in the upcoming year. ARR is defined as the annualized value of active SaaS, self-hosted subscriptions and maintenance contracts in effect at the end of the reported period. ARR should be viewed independently of revenues and total deferred revenue as it is an operating measure and is not intended to be combined with or to replace either of those measures. ARR provides management with more visibility into our revenue stream for the upcoming year. This visibility allows us to make informed decisions about our capital allocation and level of investment.

*Subscription Portion of Annual Recurring Revenue.* Subscription portion of ARR is a performance indicator that provides more visibility into the area of the business that will drive the long-term growth of our recurring business. Subscription portion of ARR is defined as the annualized value of active SaaS and self-hosted subscription contracts in effect at the end of the reported period. The subscription portion of ARR excludes maintenance contracts related to perpetual licenses. Subscription portion of ARR should be viewed independently of revenues and total deferred revenue as it is an operating measure and is not intended to be combined with or to replace either of those measures. Subscription portion of ARR provides management with more visibility into our revenue stream for the upcoming year. This visibility allows us to make informed decisions about our capital allocation and level of investment.

------

*Recurring Revenue.* Recurring revenue refers to the portion of our total revenue that includes our SaaS subscriptions, self-hosted subscriptions and recurring maintenance revenues related to our perpetual license contracts. Management monitors the growth of our recurring revenue to evaluate the health of our business. Recurring revenue also provides enhanced visibility and predictability of future revenues.

*Total Deferred Revenue.* Our total deferred revenue consists of maintenance and support and professional services that have been invoiced and collected but that have not yet been recognized as revenues because they do not meet the applicable criteria, and of self-hosted and SaaS subscription contracts, where there are unconditional rights for a consideration, that have been invoiced but have not yet been recognized. In 2022, an increasing percentage of our total deferred revenue and the substantial portion of our total deferred revenue growth was related to SaaS contracts that have not been recognized. Management monitors our total deferred revenue because it represents a significant portion of revenues to be recognized in future periods. The material factors driving changes in our license revenues are discussed under "—Comparison of Period to Period Results of Operations."

*Remaining Performance Obligations.* Remaining performance obligations (RPO) represent non-cancelable contracts that have not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenues and amounts not yet received that will be recognized as revenue in future periods. Management monitors the value of RPO to provide visibility into near term and multi-year revenue streams. This visibility allows us to make informed decisions about our capital allocations and level of investment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**A.** **Operating Results** 

*For a discussion of our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, including a year-to-year comparison between 2021 and 2020, refer to Item 5. "Operating and Financial Review and Prospects" in our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 10, 2022.*

#### Components of Statements of Operations

#### Revenues
Our revenues consist of the following:

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *Subscription Revenues*. Subscription revenues include SaaS and self-hosted subscription revenues, as well as maintenance and support services associated with self-hosted subscriptions. Subscription revenues are generated primarily from sales of our Privileged Access Manager (Privilege Cloud and self-hosted), Endpoint Privilege Manager, Conjur Secrets Manager Enterprise and Credential Providers, Vendor Privileged Access Manager and Workforce Identity solutions. We are seeing an increasing percentage of our business coming from our SaaS solutions, which have ratable revenue recognition, increasing our total deferred revenue that will be recognized over time. Our SaaS and self-hosted subscriptions are becoming a larger percentage of our total revenues, and we expect our subscription revenues to continue to grow in the near and long term. Privileged Access Manager and Workforce Identity are both licensed per user. Endpoint Privilege Manager is licensed by target system (workstations and servers). Conjur Secrets Manager Enterprise and Credential Providers have two different licensing approaches based on the types of applications being secured. The first is licensed by agent for mission-critical and static applications, and the second is licensed by site/region and number of clusters for more dynamic cloud native applications and DevOps pipelines.

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *Perpetual License Revenues*. Perpetual license revenues are generated primarily from sales of our Privileged Access Manager. We are seeing a decreasing percentage of our business coming from perpetual licenses, which have upfront revenue recognition. We expect revenues from perpetual licenses to continue to decrease as we continue to operate as a subscription company.

o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *Maintenance and Professional Services Revenues*. Maintenance revenues are generated from maintenance and support contracts purchased by our customers who purchase perpetual licenses in order to gain access to the latest software enhancements and updates on an if-and-when available basis and to telephone and email technical support. With the continued decline of new perpetual licenses and related new maintenance contracts, we are expecting our total maintenance revenues to begin to decline in the near term, and we expect total maintenance revenues will continue to decline in absolute dollars over the long term, as we continue to sell more new subscriptions and fewer new perpetual licenses. We also offer professional services for consulting, deployment and training of our customers to fully leverage the use of our products.

#### Geographic Breakdown of Revenues
The United States is our biggest market, with the balance of our revenues generated from the EMEA region and the rest of the world, which includes Canada, Central and South America, and the Asia Pacific and Japan region. The following table sets forth the geographic breakdown of our revenues by region for the periods indicated:

---

| | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Year ended December 31,** | **Year ended December 31,** | **Year ended December 31,** | **Year ended December 31,** | **Year ended December 31,** | **Year ended December 31,** |
|  | **2020** | **2020** | **2021** | **2021** | **2022** | **2022** |
|  | Amount | **% of Revenues** | **Amount** | **% of Revenues** | **Amount** | **% of Revenues** |
| | | | | **($ in thousands)** | | |
| United States | $246811 | 53.1% | $253811 | 50.5% | $312816 | 52.9% |
| EMEA | 141866 | 30.6 | 163328 | 32.5 | 178344 | 30.1 |
| Rest of World | 75754 | 16.3 | 85778 | 17.0 | 100550 | 17.0 |
| Total revenues | $464431 | 100.0% | $502917 | 100.0% | $591710 | 100.0% |

---

#### Cost of Revenues
Our total cost of revenues consists of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o *Cost of Subscription Revenues.* Cost of
 subscription revenues consists primarily of cloud infrastructure costs, personnel costs associated with our global cloud organization
 (that consist primarily of salaries, benefits, bonuses and share-based compensation), amortization of intangible assets and depreciation
 of internal use software capitalization. As we shift more of our sales to SaaS and self-hosted subscription offerings, we expect the absolute
 cost of subscription revenues to increase.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o *Cost of Perpetual License Revenues.* Cost of perpetual license revenues
 consists primarily of appliance expenses and allocated personnel costs to support delivery and operations related to perpetual licenses.
 Personnel costs consist primarily of salaries, benefits, bonuses and share-based compensation. As we shift more of our sales to SaaS and
 self-hosted subscription contracts, we expect the absolute cost of perpetual license revenues and the cost of perpetual license revenues
 as a percentage of total revenues to decrease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o *Cost of Maintenance and Professional Services Revenues.* Cost of maintenance related to perpetual
 license contracts and professional services revenues primarily consists of allocated personnel costs for our global customer support and
 professional services organization. Such costs consist primarily of salaries, benefits, bonuses, share-based compensation and subcontractors'
 fees. We expect the absolute cost of maintenance and professional services revenues to increase as our customer base grows and as we hire
 additional professional services and technical support personnel.

#### Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit is total revenues less total cost of revenues. Gross margin is gross profit expressed as a percentage of total revenues. Our gross margin has historically fluctuated from period to period as a result of changes in the mix of license revenues and maintenance and professional services revenues. Since costs of subscription revenues as a percent of subscription revenues are higher than costs of perpetual licenses as a percent of perpetual revenues, as we continue to operate as a subscription company with an increasing mix of subscription revenues and more investments in our cloud infrastructure, our gross margin may decline.

------

#### Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses are classified into three categories: research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative. For each category, the largest component is personnel costs, which consists primarily of salaries, employee benefits (including commissions and bonuses) and share-based compensation expense. Operating expenses also include software and related expenses and allocated overhead costs for facilities and office expenses as well as depreciation and amortization. Allocated costs for facilities and office expenses primarily consist of rent, office maintenance and utilities and office supplies. We expect personnel and all allocated costs to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we hire new employees and add facilities to continue to grow our business.

*Research and Development.* Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs attributable to our research and development personnel, consultants and contractors, cloud infrastructure, software and related expenses and allocated overhead costs. We continue to expect that our research and development expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to grow our research and development headcount to further strengthen our technology platform and invest in the development of both existing and new solutions, products and services.

*Sales and Marketing.* Sales and marketing expenses are the largest component of our operating expenses and consist primarily of personnel costs, including commission, as well as marketing programs and business development costs, software and related expenses, travel expenses and allocated overhead costs. We expect that sales and marketing expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollars as we plan to expand our sales and marketing efforts globally. We continue to expect sales and marketing expenses will remain our largest category of operating expenses.

*General and Administrative.* General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs for our executive, finance, human resources, legal and administrative personnel. General and administrative expenses also include insurance premiums and external legal, audit, accounting and other professional service fees. We continue to expect that general and administrative expense will increase in dollars as we grow and expand our operations.

#### Financial Income (Expense), Net
Financial income (expense), net consists of mainly interest income, foreign currency exchange gains or losses, foreign exchange forward transactions expenses and amortization of debt discount and issuance costs. Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents, short and long-term bank deposits and marketable securities. We expect interest income to vary depending on our average investment balances and market interest rates during each reporting period. Foreign currency exchange changes reflect gains or losses related to transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

#### Tax benefit (taxes on income)
Tax benefit (taxes on income) consists of taxes related to our activity in Israel, the United States, and numerous other foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business.

The ordinary corporate tax rate in Israel is 23.0%.

As discussed in greater detail below under "Israeli Tax Considerations and Government Programs", we have been entitled to various tax benefits under the Investment Law. Under the Investment Law, our tax rate to be paid with respect to our eligible Israeli taxable income under these benefits programs is generally 12.0%.

Under the Investment Law and other Israeli legislation, we are entitled to certain additional tax benefits, including accelerated deduction of research and development expenses, accelerated depreciation and amortization rates for tax purposes on certain intangible assets and deduction of public offering expenses in three equal annual installments.

Our non-Israeli subsidiaries are taxed according to the tax laws in their respective jurisdictions of tax residency. Due to our multi-jurisdictional operations, we apply significant judgment to determine our consolidated income tax position.

For a reconciliation of our Tax benefit (taxes on income) to the theoretical income tax benefit according to Israeli statutory rate of 23% and for further explanation of our provision for income taxes, refer to Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 18 of this annual report.

As of the first quarter of 2021, we revised the presentation of our lines of revenue and cost of revenue. We believe that the revised categories for revenue and cost of revenue as presented in the income statement align with how management evaluates the business and the shift toward recurring revenue.

---

Revenues increased by $88.8 million, or 17.7%, from $502.9 million in 2021 to $591.7 million in 2022. This increase was primarily due to increased subscription sales. The largest increase in revenue occurred in United States, where revenues increased by $59.0 million, while the increase in EMEA and the rest of the world was $15.0 million and $14.8 million, respectively. We increased our number of customers from approximately 7,500 as of December 31, 2021 to more than 8,000 as of December 31, 2022.

Subscription revenues increased by $146.0 million, or 108.5%, from $134.6 million in 2021 to $280.6 million in 2022 as we increased the mix of our subscription sales.

Perpetual license revenues declined by $65.8 million, or 56.8%, from $115.7 million in 2021 to $50.0 million in 2022. The decline in perpetual license revenue is due to our transition from selling perpetual licenses to selling SaaS and self-hosted subscription licenses.

Maintenance and professional services revenues increased by $8.6 million, or 3.4%, from $252.6 million in 2021 to $261.1 million in 2022. Maintenance revenues increased by $3.7 million from $214.0 million in 2021 to $217.7 million in 2022, with renewals increasing by approximately $22.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in initial maintenance contracts of approximately $18.8 million. Professional services revenues increased by $4.9 million from $38.5 million in 2021 to $43.4 million in 2022.

---

Cost of subscription revenues increased by $20.4 million, or 79%, from $25.8 million in 2021 to $46.2 million in 2022. The increase in cost of subscription revenues was primarily driven by an $8.9 million increase in personnel costs and related expenses, an $8.0 million increase in cloud infrastructure costs to support the growth in our SaaS subscription revenues, a $1.4 million increase in amortization of intangible assets, a $0.7 million increase in the use of third party consultants for services rendered and a $0.6 million increase in amortization of capitalized software costs.

Cost of perpetual license revenues decreased by $1.0 million, or 25.9%, from $3.9 million in 2021 to $2.9 million in 2022. The decrease in cost of perpetual license revenues was primarily driven by a $0.6 million decrease in personnel costs and related expenses and a $0.5 million decrease in amortization of intangible assets.

Cost of maintenance and professional services revenues increased by $13.3 million, or 21%, from $63.6 million in 2021 to $76.9 million in 2022. The increase in cost of maintenance and professional services revenues was driven primarily by an $11.4 million increase in personnel costs and related expenses, a $1.2 million increase in software and cloud infrastructure costs and a $0.5 million increase in travel costs.

Our headcount related to cost of revenues grew from 381 at the end of 2021 to 493 at the end of 2022.

Gross profit increased by approximately $56 million, or 13.7%, from $409.6 million in 2021 to $465.7 million in 2022. Gross margins decreased from 81.4% in 2021 to 78.7% in 2022. This was driven by the increase in SaaS sales which have incremental costs related to cloud infrastructure and, as a result, a lower margin contribution.

---

*Research and Development.* Research and development expenses increased by $48.2 million, or 33.9%, from $142.1 million in 2021 to $190.3 million in 2022. This increase was primarily attributable to a $37.6 million increase in personnel costs and related expenses, as we increased our research and development team headcount from 643 at the end of 2021 to 901 at the end of 2022 to support continued investment in our existing and future product and service offerings. The increase was also attributable to a $9.8 million increase in expenses related to consultants and contractors and a $2.1 million increase in cloud infrastructure expenses.

*Sales and Marketing.* Sales and marketing expenses increased by $70.9 million, or 25.8%, from $274.4 million in 2021 to $345.3 million in 2022. This increase was primarily attributable to a $52.0 million increase in personnel costs and related expenses due to increased headcount in all regions to expand our sales and marketing organization. The increase was also attributable to a $6.9 million increase in marketing programs expenses, a $5.7 million increase in travel expenses due to the easing of COVID-19 travel restrictions, a $2.9 million increase in software and related expenses, a $1.8 million increase in facilities and depreciation overhead costs and a $0.7 million increase in consulting expenses. Our sales and marketing headcount grew from 941 at the end of 2021 to 1,157 at the end of 2022.

*General and Administrative*. General and administrative expenses increased by $11.1 million, or 15.5%, from $71.4 million in 2021 to $82.5 million in 2022. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $8.9 million in personnel costs and related expenses due to increased headcount, a $1.3 million increase in services fees for external legal counsel, accounting and patent administration and a $0.6 million increase in travel costs. Our general and administrative headcount grew from 175 at the end of 2021 to 217 at the end of 2022.

*Financial Income (Expense), Net*. Financial income (expense), net changed from financial expense of $13.0 million in 2021 to financial income of $15.4 million in 2022. This change resulted primarily from a decrease of $14.8 million in non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of debt discount and issuance costs due to adjustments from adoption of ASU 2020-06, an increase of $11.6 million in interest income from investments in marketable securities and short-term and long-term bank deposits due to a higher interest rate environment in 2022 compared to 2021 and a $2.1 million decrease in financial expenses from foreign currency exchange differences.

*Tax benefit.* Tax benefit decreased by $0.7 million, or 9.9%, from $7.4 million in 2021 to $6.7 million in 2022. This decrease was mainly attributed to an increase in tax expenses related to share-based compensation, partially offset by an increase in our loss before taxes on income.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**B.** **Liquidity and Capital Resources** 

We fund our operations with cash generated from operating activities. We have also raised capital through issuing convertible senior notes, the sale of equity securities in public offerings and, to a lesser extent, through exercised options. Our primary current uses of our cash are ongoing operating expenses and capital expenditures.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, our principal sources of liquidity were cash, cash equivalents, bank deposits and marketable securities of $1.2 billion. We believe that our cash generated from operating activities, along with existing cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and bank deposits will be sufficient to fund our working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our revenue growth rate, the expansion of our sales and marketing activities, the timing and extent of spending to support product development efforts and expansion into new geographic locations, the timing of introductions of new products and enhancements to existing products and the continuing market acceptance of our offerings.

The following table presents the major components of net cash flows for the periods presented:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** |
|  | **2021** | **2022** |
|  | **($ in thousands)** | **($ in thousands)** |
|  Net cash provided by operating activities&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  | $74740 | $49708 |
|  Net cash used in investing activities&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  | (228194) | (68392) |
|  Net cash provided by financing activities&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  | 10949 | 12225 |

---

A substantial source of our net cash provided by operating activities is our deferred revenue, which is included on our consolidated balance sheet as a liability. Our deferred revenue consists of maintenance and support and professional services that have been invoiced and collected but that have not yet been recognized as revenues and of self-hosted subscriptions and SaaS contracts that have been invoiced but not yet recognized. We assess our liquidity, in part, through an analysis of our short-term and long-term deferred revenue that has not yet been recognized as revenues together with our other sources of liquidity. Revenues from SaaS contracts and maintenance and support contracts are recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the term of the related contract which is typically one year or three years, and revenues from professional services are recognized as services are performed. Thus, upfront payments add to the liquidity of our operations since we frequently recognize self-hosted subscription, SaaS, maintenance and support and professional services revenues and expenses in subsequent periods to when the payments may be received. The duration of our contracts also impacts our deferred revenue. In 2022, we began to proactively shift our maintenance contracts related to perpetual licenses to one year terms and late in the year we experienced a shortening of duration for some larger contracts for self-hosted subscription. We expect this shorter duration to impact our net cash provided by operating activities in the short term.

------

#### Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Our cash flows reflect our net loss coupled with changes in our non-cash working capital.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, operating activities provided $49.7 million in cash as a result of $130.4 million of net loss, adjusted by $120.8 million of non-cash charges related to share-based compensation expense, $16.2 million related to depreciation and amortization expenses, $3.0 million in non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of debt discount and issuance costs and a net change of $109.1 million in non-cash working capital, partially offset by a $15.6 million increase in deferred tax assets and a $53.4 million net change from other long-term assets and liabilities.

The change of $109.1 million in non-cash working capital was due to a $97.0 million increase in short-term deferred revenue, an increase of $0.7 million in employees and payroll accruals, an increase of $4.1 million in trade payables, an $8.8 million net change from other current assets and a decrease of $6.1 million in other current liabilities, partially offset by an increase of $7.6 million in trade receivables.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, operating activities provided $74.7 million in cash as a result of $83.9 million of net loss, adjusted by $95.4 million of non-cash charges related to share-based compensation expense, $14.2 million related to depreciation and amortization expenses, $17.8 million in non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of debt discount and issuance costs and a net change of $72.1 million in non-cash working capital, partially offset by a $12.0 million increase in deferred tax assets and a $28.9 million net change from other long-term assets and liabilities.

The change of $72.1 million in non-cash working capital was due to a $69.2 million increase in short-term deferred revenue, an increase of $23.8 million in employees and payroll accruals and an increase of $1.5 million in trade payables, partially offset by an increase of $20.1 million in trade receivables and a decrease of $2.3 million in other current liabilities.

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, our days' sales outstanding, ("DSO"), was 84 days and 75 days, respectively.

#### Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Investing activities have consisted of investment in, and proceeds from, short-term and long-term deposits, investment in, and proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities, payments for business acquisitions and purchases of property and equipment.

Net cash used in investing activities was $228.2 million and $68.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively.

The decrease of $159.8 million in net cash used in investing activities in 2022 was due to a net decrease of $204.7 million in investments in short and long-term deposits and marketable securities, partially offset by an increase of $41.3 million in payments for business acquisitions, net of cash acquired, and an increase of $3.6 million in capital expenditures.

The decrease of $184.2 million in net cash used in investing activities in 2021 was due to a net decrease of $117.3 million in investments in short and long-term deposits and marketable securities, and a decrease of $68.6 million in payments for business acquisitions, net of cash acquired, partially offset by an increase of $1.7 million in capital expenditures.

------

#### Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Our financing activities have consisted of proceeds from shares issued in connection with our ESPP, proceeds from the exercise of share options, payments of contingent consideration related to acquisitions and payments of withholding tax related to employee share plans.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $10.9 million and $12.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively.

The increase of $1.3 million in net cash provided by financing activities in 2022 was due to an increase of $15.1 million in proceeds from shares issued in connection with employee stock purchase plan, partially offset by a net decrease of $9.1 million in proceeds from exercise of stock options, and an increase of $4.7 million in payments of contingent consideration related to acquisitions.

#### Our Material Contractual Obligations
The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2022:

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Total** | **Less than**1 year | **1 – 3 years** | **3 – 5 years**  | **More than 5 years** |
| ($ in thousands) |  |  |  |  |  |
| Operating lease obligations(1) | $39299 | $7691 | $14047 | $10891 | $6670 |
| Uncertain tax obligations(2) | 2805 |  |  |  |  |
| Severance pay(3) | 7769 |  |  |  |  |
| 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024(4) | 575000 |  | 575000 |  |  |
| Total | $624873 | $7691 | $589047 | $10891 | $6670 |

---

(1) Operating lease obligations consist of our contractual rental expenses under operating leases of facilities and certain motor vehicles.

(2) Consists of accruals for certain income tax positions under ASC 740 that are paid upon settlement, and for which we are unable to reasonably estimate the ultimate amount and timing of settlement. See Note 13(k) to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report for further information regarding our liability under ASC 740. Payment of these obligations would result from settlements with tax authorities. Due to the difficulty in determining the timing of resolution of audits, these obligations are only presented in their total amount.

(3) Severance pay relates to accrued severance obligations mainly to our Israeli employees as required under Israeli labor laws. These obligations are payable only upon the termination, retirement or death of the respective employee and may be reduced if the employee's termination is voluntary. These obligations are partially funded through accounts maintained with financial institutions and recognized as an asset on our balance sheet. As of December 31, 2022, $2.9 million is unfunded. See Note 2(l) to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report for further information.

(4) For additional information, see Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

Additionally, we entered into non-cancelable material agreements for the receipt of cloud infrastructure services and subscription-based cloud services, effective as of April 2021 through October 2025. As of December 31, 2022, our outstanding contractual commitment is $22.4 million due in the next 12 months and $11.0 million due thereafter.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**C.** **Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.** 

We conduct our research and development activities primarily in Israel as well as other locations such as the United States and India. As of December 31, 2022, our research and development department included 901 employees and contractors. In 2022, research and development costs accounted for 32.2% of our total revenues.

For a description of our research and development policies, see "Item 4.B. Business Overview—Research and Development."

For information regarding our patents, see "Item 4.B. Business Overview—Intellectual Property."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**D.** **Trend Information** 

Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this annual report, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events since December 31, 2022, that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our net revenue, income, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that caused the disclosed financial information to be not necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial condition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**E.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Critical Accounting Estimates**

Our accounting policies and their effect on our financial condition and results of operations are more fully described in our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report. We have prepared our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that in certain circumstances affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates are prepared using our best judgment, after considering past and current events and economic conditions. While management believes the factors evaluated provide a meaningful basis for establishing and applying sound accounting policies, management cannot guarantee that the estimates will always be consistent with actual results. In addition, certain information relied upon by us in preparing such estimates includes internally generated financial and operating information, external market information, when available, and when necessary, information obtained from consultations with third parties. Actual results could differ from these estimates and could have a material adverse effect on our reported results. See "Item 3.D. Risk Factors" for a discussion of the possible risks which may affect these estimates.

We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to our financial results and to the understanding of our past and future performance. These accounting policies involve estimates that have been made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

#### Revenue Recognition
We primarily generate revenues from providing the right to access our SaaS solutions and licensing the rights to use our software products, as well as from maintenance and professional services. Subscription revenues include SaaS and self-hosted subscription contracts. We sell our products through our direct sales force and indirectly through channel partners.

We recognize revenues in accordance with ASC No. 606 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." As such, we identify a contract with a customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract and recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation.

We enter into contracts that can include combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations and may include an option to provide professional services. Perpetual license and self-hosted subscription are distinct as the customer can derive the economic benefit of the software without any professional services, updates or technical support.

The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which we will be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer. We do not grant a right of return to our customers.

------

We allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. For maintenance, we determine the standalone selling prices based on the price at which we separately sell a renewal contract. For professional services, we determine the standalone selling prices based on the prices at which we separately sell those services. For SaaS, self-hosted subscriptions and perpetual licenses, we determine the standalone selling prices by making estimations and taking into account available information such as historical selling prices, contract value, geographic location, and our price list and discount policy.

Our revenues from perpetual licenses and the license portion of self-hosted subscriptions, are recognized at the point of time when the license is made available for download by the customer. Maintenance revenue related to our perpetual license contracts and the maintenance component of our self-hosted subscription offering as well as our SaaS revenues are recognized ratably, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related contract, which is generally one to three years. Professional services revenues are substantially recognized as the services are performed.

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents non-cancelable contracts that have not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenues and amounts not yet received that will be recognized as revenue in future periods.

#### Deferred Contract Costs
We pay sales commissions primarily to sales and certain management personnel based on their attainment of certain predetermined sales goals. Sales commissions are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Sales commissions paid for initial contracts, which are not commensurate with sales commissions paid for renewal contracts, are capitalized and amortized over an expected period of benefit. We estimate the expected period of benefit based on assumptions related to our technology, customer contracts and other factors. We have determined the expected period of benefit to be approximately five years. Amortization expense of these costs are substantially included in sales and marketing expenses.

#### Share-Based Compensation
We account for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC No. 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" (ASC No. 718). ASC No. 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the award is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award, on a straight-line basis when the only condition to vesting is continued service. If vesting is subject to a performance condition, recognition is based on the implicit service period of the award. Expense for awards with performance conditions is estimated and adjusted on a quarterly basis based upon the assessment of the probability that the performance condition will be met.

We selected the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model as the most appropriate fair value method for our option awards and Employee Share Purchase Plan (ESPP). The fair value of restricted share units (RSUs) and performance share units (PSUs) without market conditions, is based on the closing market value of the underlying shares at the date of grant. For PSUs subject to market conditions, we use a Monte Carlo simulation model, which utilizes multiple inputs to estimate payout level and the probability that market conditions will be achieved.

The option-pricing and Monte Carlo models require a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are the expected share price volatility and the expected option term. We recognize forfeitures of equity-based awards as they occur.

These estimates involve uncertainties and the application of judgment. If circumstances are changed and different estimates are used, our expenses could materially differ in the future.

#### Business combination
We account for our business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, allocation of the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, we make estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable, and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with a corresponding offset to goodwill if new information is obtained related to facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Acquisition costs, such as legal and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred.

------

#### Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill and certain other purchased intangible assets have been recorded in our financial statements as a result of acquisitions. In business combinations, in accordance with ASC Topic 805, "Business Combination," we allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. Such valuations require us to make significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments, especially with respect to intangible assets. The estimated fair values and useful lives of identifiable intangible assets are based on many factors, including estimates and assumptions of future operating performance and cash flows of the acquired business, market conditions, technological developments and specific characteristics of the identified intangible assets. The allocation of the consideration transferred in certain cases may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair values during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date.

Goodwill represents excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is subject to an impairment test.

ASC No. 350, "Intangible—Goodwill and Other" requires goodwill to be tested for impairment at least annually and, in certain circumstances, between annual tests. The accounting guidance gives the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The qualitative assessment includes judgement and considers events and circumstances that might indicate that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount.

For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, no impairment losses were identified.

#### Convertible Senior Notes
For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, we accounted for our convertible senior notes in accordance with <u>ASC No. 470-20,</u> "Debt with Conversion and Other Options." We allocated the principal amount of the convertible senior notes between its liability and equity component. The liability component at issuance is recognized at fair value, which is based on estimations. The calculation is based on the fair value of a similar instrument of similar credit rating and maturity that does not have a conversion feature. The equity component is based on the excess of the principal amount of the convertible senior notes over the fair value of the liability component and is recorded in additional paid-in capital. We allocated the total issuance costs incurred to the liability and equity components of the convertible senior notes based on the same proportions as the proceeds from the notes.

Issuance costs attributable to the liability are netted against the principal balance and are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the contractual term of the notes. The effective interest rate of the liability component of the notes is 3.50%. The effective interest rate calculation was based on estimations and assumptions related to economic and market factors.

Issuance costs attributable to the equity component are netted with the equity component in additional paid-in capital.

On January 1, 2022, we adopted ASU 2020-06, "Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (subtopic 815-40)," using the modified retrospective method. As a result, the convertible notes' previously recognized equity component was combined with the liability component, and the convertible notes will be accounted for as a single unit of account.

#### Legal Contingencies
From time to time we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. We accrue for contingencies when the loss is probable and we can reasonably estimate the amount of any such loss. In determining the probability of a loss and consequently determining a reasonable estimate, we are required to use significant judgment. We are currently not a party to any material litigation and are not aware of any pending or threatened material legal or administrative proceedings against us. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

------

#### Income Taxes
We calculate income tax provisions based on our results in each jurisdiction in which we operate. The calculation is based on estimated tax consequences and on assumptions as to our entitlement to various benefits under the applicable local tax laws.

Significant judgment is required in evaluating our uncertain tax positions. We establish reserves for uncertain tax positions based on the evaluation of whether or not our uncertain tax position is "more likely than not" to be sustained upon examination based on our technical merits. We record estimated interest and penalties pertaining to our uncertain tax positions in the financial statements as income tax expense.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available, against which they can be used. Deferred taxes for each jurisdiction are presented as a net asset or liability, net of any valuation allowances. We estimate the need for any valuation allowance by applying significant judgment and considering all available evidence including past results and future projections. We reassess our estimates periodically and record a partial or full valuation allowance release if needed.

We cannot assure that future final tax outcomes will not be different than our tax provisions and reserves for uncertain tax positions. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will impact the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made.

#### Israeli Tax Considerations and Government Programs
The following is a brief summary of the material Israeli tax laws applicable to us, and certain Israeli Government programs that benefit us. To the extent that the discussion is based on new tax legislation that has not yet been subject to substantive judicial or administrative interpretation, we cannot provide assurance that the appropriate tax authorities or the courts will accept the views expressed in this discussion. The discussion below is subject to change, including due to amendments under Israeli law or changes to the applicable judicial or administrative interpretations of Israeli law, which could affect the tax consequences described below.

#### General Corporate Tax Structure in Israel
Ordinary taxable income is subject to a corporate tax rate of 23% as of 2018. However, the effective tax rate payable by a company that derives income from an Approved Enterprise, a Benefited Enterprise, a Preferred Enterprise or a Preferred Technology Enterprise (as discussed below) may be considerably lower. Capital gains derived by an Israeli company are generally subject to tax at the prevailing ordinary corporate tax rate.

#### Tax Benefits for Research and Development
Israeli tax law allows, under certain conditions, a tax deduction for research and development expenditures, including capital expenditures, for the year in which they are incurred if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o the expenditures are approved by the relevant Israeli government ministry, determined by the field of research;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o the research and development is for the promotion or development of the company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o the research and development is carried out by or on behalf of the company seeking the deduction.

However, the amount of such deductible expenses shall be reduced by the sum of any funds received through government grants for the finance of such scientific research and development projects. Expenditures not so approved are deductible over a three-year period from the first year that the expenditures were made if the research or development is for the promotion or development of the company.

------

#### Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 5729-1969
The Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 5729-1969, generally referred to as the Industry Encouragement Law, provides several tax benefits for "Industrial Companies."

The Industry Encouragement Law defines an "Industrial Company" as an Israeli resident company which was incorporated in Israel, of which 90% or more of its income in any tax year, other than income from certain government loans, is derived from an "Industrial Enterprise" owned by it and located in Israel or in the "Area", in accordance with the definition in the section 3a of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance (New Version) 1961 (the "Ordinance"). An "Industrial Enterprise" is defined as an enterprise whose principal activity in a given tax year is industrial production.

The following tax benefits, among others, are available to Industrial Companies:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o amortization of the cost of purchased know-how, patents and rights to use a patent and know-how which are used for the development
 or promotion of the Industrial Enterprise, over an eight-year period commencing on the year in which such rights were first exercised;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o under limited conditions, an election to file consolidated tax returns together with Israeli Industrial Companies controlled by it;
 and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o expenses related to a public offering of shares in a stock exchange are deductible in equal amounts over three years commencing on
 the year of offering.

Eligibility for benefits under the Industry Encouragement Law is not contingent upon the approval of any governmental authority. We believe that we generally qualify as an Industrial Company within the meaning of the Industry Encouragement Law. The Israel Tax Authority may determine that we do not qualify as an Industrial Company, which could entail our loss of the benefits that relate to this status. There can be no assurance that we will continue to qualify as an Industrial Company or that the benefits described above will be available in the future.

#### Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 5719-1959
The Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 5719-1959, generally referred to as the Investment Law, provides certain incentives for capital investments in production facilities (or other eligible assets) by "Industrial Enterprises" (as defined under the Investment Law).

The Investment Law was significantly amended effective April 1, 2005 (the "2005 Amendment"), further amended as of January 1, 2011 (the "2011 Amendment"), and further amended as of January 1, 2017 (the "2017 Amendment"). Pursuant to the 2005 Amendment, tax benefits granted in accordance with the provisions of the Investment Law prior to its revision by the 2005 Amendment remain in force but any benefits granted subsequently are subject to the provisions of the 2005 Amendment. Similarly, the 2011 Amendment introduced new benefits to replace those granted in accordance with the provisions of the Investment Law in effect prior to the 2011 Amendment. However, companies entitled to benefits under the Investment Law as in effect prior to January 1, 2011 were entitled to choose to continue to enjoy such benefits, provided that certain conditions are met, or elect instead, irrevocably, to forego such benefits and have the benefits of the 2011 Amendment apply. The 2017 Amendment introduced new benefits for Technological Enterprises which meet certain conditions, alongside the existing tax benefits.

#### Tax Benefits Prior to the 2005 Amendment
An investment program that is implemented in accordance with the provisions of the Investment Law prior to the 2005 Amendment, referred to as an "Approved Enterprise", is entitled to certain benefits. A company that wished to receive benefits as an Approved Enterprise must have received approval from the Israeli Authority for Investments and Development of the Industry and Economy (the "Investment Center"). Each certificate of approval for an Approved Enterprise relates to a specific investment program, delineated both by the financial scope of the investment, including sources of funds, and by the physical characteristics of the facility or other assets.

The tax benefits available under any certificate of approval relate only to taxable income attributable to the specific program and are contingent upon meeting the criteria set out in such certificate. Income derived from activity that is not integral to the activity of the Approved Enterprise will not enjoy tax benefits.

The tax benefits under the alternative benefits track include an exemption from corporate tax on undistributed income which was generated from an Approved Enterprise for between two and ten years from the first year of taxable income, depending on the geographic location of the Approved Enterprise facility within Israel, and the taxation of income generated from an Approved Enterprise at a reduced corporate tax rate of between 10% to 25% for the remainder of the benefits period, depending on the level of foreign investment in the company in each year, as detailed below.

------

In addition, a company that has an Approved Enterprise program is eligible for further tax benefits if it qualifies as a Foreign Investors' Company (FIC), which is a company with a level of foreign investment, as defined in the Investment Law, of more than 25%.

If a company elects the alternative benefits track and subsequently distributes a dividend out of income derived by its Approved Enterprise during the tax exemption period it will be subject to corporate tax in respect of the amount of the distributed dividend (grossed-up to reflect the pre-tax income that it would have had to earn in order to distribute the dividend) at the corporate tax rate which would have been otherwise applicable if such income had not been tax-exempted under the alternative benefits track. This rate generally ranges from 10% to 25%, depending on the level of foreign investment in the company in each year, as mentioned above. In addition, dividends paid out of income attributed to an Approved Enterprise (or out of dividends received from a company whose income is attributed to an Approved Enterprise) are generally subject to withholding tax at source at the rate of 15% or such lower rate as may be provided in an applicable tax treaty (subject to the receipt in advance of a valid certificate from the Israel Tax Authority allowing for a reduced tax rate). The 15% tax rate is limited to dividends and distributions out of income derived during the benefits period and actually paid at any time up to 12 years thereafter. After this period, the withholding tax is applied at a rate of up to 30%, or at the lower rate under an applicable tax treaty (subject to the receipt in advance of a valid certificate from the Israel Tax Authority allowing for a reduced tax rate). In the case of a FIC, the 12-year limitation on reduced withholding tax on dividends does not apply.

The benefits available to an Approved Enterprise are subject to the continued fulfillment of conditions stipulated in the Investment Law and its regulations and the criteria in the specific certificate of approval, as described above. If a company does not meet these conditions, it would be required to refund the amount of tax benefits, adjusted to the Israeli consumer price index, and interest, or other monetary penalties.

#### Tax Benefits Subsequent to the 2005 Amendment
The 2005 Amendment applies to new investment programs commencing after 2004, but does not apply to investment programs approved prior to April 1, 2005. The 2005 Amendment provides that terms and benefits included in any certificate of approval that was granted before the 2005 Amendment became effective (April 1, 2005) will remain subject to the provisions of the Investment Law as in effect on the date of such approval. Pursuant to the 2005 Amendment, the Investment Center will continue to grant Approved Enterprise status to qualifying investments. The 2005 Amendment, however, limits the scope of enterprises that may be approved by the Investment Center by setting criteria for the approval of a facility as an Approved Enterprise, such as provisions generally requiring that at least 25% of the Approved Enterprise's income be derived from exports.

Tax benefits are available under the 2005 Amendment to production facilities (or other eligible facilities) which are generally required to derive more than 25% of their business income from export to specific markets with a population of at least 14 million in 2012 (such export criteria will further be increased in the future by 1.4% per annum).

A company qualifying for tax benefits under the 2005 Amendment which pays a dividend out of income derived by its Benefited Enterprise during the tax exemption period will be subject to corporate tax in respect of the amount of the dividend distributed (grossed-up to reflect the pre-tax income that it would have had to earn in order to distribute the dividend) at the corporate tax rate which would have otherwise been applicable. Dividends paid out of income attributed to a Benefited Enterprise (or out of dividends received from a company whose income is attributed to a Benefited Enterprise) are generally subject to withholding tax at source at the rate of 15% or at a lower rate as may be provided in an applicable tax treaty (subject to the receipt in advance of a valid certificate from the Israel Tax Authority allowing for a reduced tax rate). The reduced rate of 15% is limited to dividends and distributions out of income attributed to a Beneficiary Enterprise during the benefits period and actually paid at any time up to 12 years thereafter except with respect to a FIC, in which case the 12-year limit does not apply.

The benefits available to a Benefited Enterprise are subject to the continued fulfillment of conditions stipulated in the Investment Law and its regulations. If a company does not meet these conditions, it would be required to refund the amount of tax benefits, adjusted to the Israeli consumer price index, and interest, or other monetary penalties.

------

On November 15, 2021, the Investment Law was amended to provide, on a temporary basis, a reduced corporate income tax upon the distribution or release, within a year from such amendment, of tax-exempt profits derived by Approved or Benefited Enterprises. The reduced tax rate was determined based on a formula, providing for an up to 60% reduction, as long as the corporate income tax rate was not less than 6%. In order to qualify for the reduction, the taxpayer would also have to invest certain amounts in productive assets and research and development in Israel. The Company did not elect to apply for the aforementioned temporary order.

In addition to the temporary amendment, the Investment Law was also amended to reduce the ability of companies to retain the tax-exempt profits while distributing dividends from previously taxed profits. Accordingly, effective August 15, 2021, dividend distributions are deemed made on a pro-rata basis from all types of earnings, including exempt profits, thus triggering additional corporate income tax. As of August 15, 2021, the Company did not distribute any dividends and does not intend to do so in the near future.

As of December 31, 2022, approximately $14.5 million was derived from tax exempt profits earned under the "Approved Enterprises" and "Beneficiary Enterprise". If the retained tax-exempt income is distributed, the income would be taxed at the applicable corporate tax rate as if it had not elected the alternative tax benefits under the Investment Law and an income tax liability of up to $3.5 million would be incurred as of December 31, 2022.

#### Tax Benefits under the 2011 Amendment
The 2011 Amendment introduced new benefits for income generated by a "Preferred Company" through its "Preferred Enterprise" (as such terms are defined in the Investment Law) as of January 1, 2011. The definition of a Preferred Company includes a company incorporated in Israel that is not wholly owned by a governmental entity, and that has, among other things, Preferred Enterprise status and is controlled and managed from Israel. Pursuant to the 2011 Amendment, a Preferred Company is entitled to a reduced corporate tax rate of 15% with respect to its preferred income derived by its Preferred Enterprise in 2011 and 2012, unless the Preferred Enterprise is located in a development zone A, in which case the rate will be 10%. Such corporate tax rate was reduced from 15% and 10%, respectively, to 12.5% and 7%, respectively in 2013, and then increased to 16% and 9%, respectively, in 2014 until 2016. Pursuant to the 2017 Amendment, in 2017 and thereafter, the corporate tax rate for Preferred Enterprise which is located in development zone A was decreased to 7.5%, while the reduced corporate tax rate for other development zones remains 16%. Income derived by a Preferred Company from a 'Special Preferred Enterprise' (as such term is defined in the Investment Law) could be entitled, under certain conditions and limitations, to further reduced tax rates.

Dividends paid to Israeli shareholders out of preferred income attributed to a Preferred Enterprise are generally subject to withholding tax at the rate of 20%, and in case of non-Israeli shareholders, such lower rate as may be provided in an applicable tax treaty (each subject to the receipt in advance of a valid certificate from the Israel Tax Authority allowing for a reduced tax rate). However, if such dividends are paid to an Israeli company, no tax is required to be withheld (although, if such dividends are subsequently distributed to individuals or a non-Israeli company, withholding tax at a rate of 20% or such lower rate as may be provided in an applicable tax treaty will apply). In 2017-2019, dividends paid out of preferred income attributed to a Special Preferred Enterprise, directly to a foreign parent company, are subject to withholding tax at source at the rate of 5% (temporary provisions).

The 2011 Amendment also provided transitional provisions to address companies already enjoying existing tax benefits under the Investment Law. These transitional provisions provide, among other things, that unless an irrevocable request is made to apply the provisions of the Investment Law as amended in 2011 with respect to income to be derived as of January 1, 2011: (i) the terms and benefits included in any certificate of approval that was granted to an Approved Enterprise which chose to receive grants before the 2011 Amendment became effective will remain subject to the provisions of the Investment Law as in effect on the date of such approval, and subject to certain other conditions; (ii) the terms and benefits included in any certificate of approval that was granted to an Approved Enterprise which had participated in an alternative benefits track before the 2011 Amendment became effective will remain subject to the provisions of the Investment Law as in effect on the date of such approval, provided that certain conditions are met; and (iii) a Benefited Enterprise can elect to continue to benefit from the benefits provided to it before the 2011 Amendment became effective, provided that certain conditions are met.

From time to time, the Israeli Government has discussed reducing the benefits available to companies under the Investment Law. The termination or substantial reduction of any of the benefits available under the Investment Law could materially increase our tax liabilities.

We applied the new benefits under the 2011 Amendment instead of the benefits provided to our Approved Enterprise and Benefited Enterprise as of 2013 tax year onwards through 2016 tax year.

------

#### Tax Benefits under the 2017 Amendment
The 2017 Amendment was enacted as part of the Economic Efficiency Law that was published on December 29, 2016, and is effective as of January 1, 2017. The 2017 Amendment provides new tax benefits for two types of "Technology Enterprises", as described below, and is in addition to the other existing tax beneficial programs under the Investment Law.

The 2017 Amendment provides that a technology company satisfying certain conditions will qualify as a "Preferred Technology Enterprise" (PTE) and will thereby enjoy a reduced corporate tax rate of 12% on income that qualifies as PTE which is generally generated by "Benefited Intangible Assets," as defined in the Investment Law. The tax rate is further reduced to 7.5% for a PTE and/or for its segment located in development Zone A. In addition, a PTE will enjoy a reduced corporate tax rate of 12% on capital gain derived from the sale of certain "Benefitted Intangible Assets" (as defined in the Investment Law) to a related foreign company if the Benefitted Intangible Assets were acquired from a foreign company on or after January 1, 2017 for at least NIS 200 million, and the sale receives prior approval from the National Authority for Technological Innovation (NATI).

The 2017 Amendment further provides that a technology company satisfying certain conditions will qualify as a "Special Preferred Technology Enterprise" and will thereby enjoy a reduced corporate tax rate of 6% on "Preferred Technology Income" regardless of the company's geographic location within Israel. In addition, a Special Preferred Technology Enterprise will enjoy a reduced corporate tax rate of 6% on capital gain derived from the sale of certain "Benefitted Intangible Assets" to a related foreign company if the Benefitted Intangible Assets were either developed by an Israeli company or acquired from a foreign company on or after January 1, 2017, and the sale received prior approval from NATI. A Special Preferred Technology Enterprise that acquires Benefitted Intangible Assets from a foreign company for more than NIS 500 million will be eligible for these benefits for at least ten years, subject to certain approvals as specified in the Investment Law.

Dividends distributed to Israeli shareholders by a PTE or a Special Preferred Technology Enterprise, paid out of Preferred Technology Income, are generally subject to withholding tax at source at the rate of 20%, and in case of non-Israeli shareholders, such lower rate as may be provided in an applicable tax treaty (each subject to the receipt in advance of a valid certificate from the Israel Tax Authority allowing for such reduced tax rate). However, if such dividends are paid to an Israeli company, no tax is required to be withheld. If such dividends are distributed to a foreign company that holds alone or together with other foreign companies 90% or more in the Israeli company and other conditions are met, the withholding tax rate will be 4%.

We have obtained a comprehensive tax ruling confirming, among others, that we generally qualify as a PTE since 2017 onwards and this status was affirmed by the Israeli Tax Authority in corporate tax audit assessment agreements reached in 2021 and in 2022.

#### CEO Equity Plan
In June 2020, the Company's shareholders approved a three-year CEO Equity Plan, which included an equity grant to the CEO in respect of 2020 and authorized the compensation committee and Board to approve CEO equity grants for 2021 and 2022 under the terms of such plan.

Accordingly, the CEO was awarded the following equity grants:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  |  | **RSUs** | **Business PSUs** | **Relative TSR PSUs** |
| **2020** | Percentage | 50% | 30% | 20% |

| **2022** | Percentage | 40% | 40% | 20% |
| **2022** | Amount | 24600 | 24600 | 12300 |

---

In February 2021, 2022 and 2023, the compensation committee certified the Company's performance of the business PSUs performance criteria and the applicable amount of PSUs earned, demonstrating our track record of paying for performance and linking the CEO's achievement rate of the performance criteria with the earning of the underlying PSUs as follows:

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Year of Grant** | **Number of Business PSUs Granted<br> (on Target)** | **Performance Targets** | **Performance Criteria Achievement Rate (Weighted Average)** | **Number of PSUs Earned** | **Earning Rate** |
| **2020** | 16600 | • Annual revenue<br> • Non-GAAP profitability<br> • License-derived revenue | 80% | 9830 | 60% |

---

Business PSUs are earned based on a one-year performance period, and are subject to further time-based vesting. Relative total shareholder return PSUs ("rTSR PSUs") are earned based on our total shareholder return relative to the S&P Software & Services Select Industry index over a three-year period.

2021 and 2022 rTSR PSUs have not been earned to date, as their performance periods have not yet been completed.

#### Employment Agreements with Executive Officers
We have entered into written employment agreements with all our executive officers. Most of these agreements contain provisions regarding non-competition and all these agreements contain provisions regarding confidentiality of information and ownership of inventions. The non-competition provision applies for a period that is generally 12 months following termination of employment, subject to applicable law. The enforceability of covenants not to compete in Israel and the United States is subject to limitations. In addition, we are required to provide two to six months' notice prior to terminating the employment of our executive officers, other than in the case of a termination for cause.

#### Directors' Service Contracts
Other than with respect to Ehud (Udi) Mokady, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, there are no arrangements or understandings between us, on the one hand, and any of our directors, on the other hand, providing for benefits upon termination of their service as directors of our Company, except that directors are permitted to exercise vested options for one year following the termination of their service. In July 2019, our shareholders approved certain changes to the compensation framework for each of our non-executive directors, specifically by implementing a fixed annual fee and predetermined dollar values of initial and recurring annual equity grants of RSUs.

#### Equity Incentive Plans

#### 2014 Share Incentive Plan
The 2014 Share Incentive Plan (the "2014 SIP"), was adopted by our board of directors and became effective on June 10, 2014. The 2014 SIP was approved by our shareholders on July 10, 2014. The 2014 SIP provides for the grant of options, restricted shares, restricted share units and other share-based awards to our employees, directors, officers, consultants, advisors and any other person providing services to us or our affiliates, under varying tax regimes. The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued pursuant to awards under this 2014 SIP is the sum of (a) 422,000 shares plus (b) an increase of 1,220,054 shares as of January 1, 2015 plus (c) on January 1 of each calendar year commencing in 2016, a number of shares equal to the lesser of: (i) an amount determined by our board of directors, if so determined prior to the January 1 of the calendar year in which the increase will occur, (ii) 4% of the total number of shares outstanding on December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year, and (iii) 4,000,000 shares. Additionally, any share underlying an award that is cancelled or terminated or forfeited for any reason without having been exercised will automatically be available for grant under the 2014 SIP. As of December 31, 2022, 2,925,695 ordinary shares underlying share-based awards were outstanding under the 2014 SIP and 1,159,520 ordinary shares were reserved for future grant under the 2014 SIP. On January 1, 2023, the aggregate number of ordinary shares reserved for issuance under the 2014 SIP was increased by 1,100,000 shares. Either our board, or a committee established by our board, administers the 2014 SIP, and the board may, at any time, suspend, terminate, modify, or amend the 2014 SIP retroactively or prospectively.

The board or the committee may grant awards intended to qualify as an incentive stock option, non-qualified stock option, Israeli Income Tax Ordinance Section 102 award, Section 3(9) award, or other designations under other regimes. Other than with respect to incentive stock options, governed by the specific exercise price provisions of the 2014 SIP, the exercise price of any award will be determined by the committee or the board (as applicable). Unless otherwise stated in the applicable award agreement, option awards under the 2014 SIP expire ten years after their grant date. Upon termination of the employment or service of a grantee, any unvested awards will be forfeited on the termination date. Upon termination by reason of death, disability or retirement, all of the grantee's vested awards may be exercised at any time within one year after such death or disability or within three months following retirement. Upon termination for "cause" (as defined in the 2014 SIP), all awards granted to such grantee (whether vested or not) will be forfeited on the termination date. Upon termination for any other reason all vested and exercisable awards at the time of termination may, unless earlier terminated in accordance with their terms, be exercised within up to three months after the termination date (or such different period as the committee will prescribe).

The committee and the board may grant restricted shares under the 2014 SIP. If a grantee's employment or service to the Company or any affiliate thereof terminates for any reason prior to the vesting of such grantee's restricted shares, any unvested shares will be forfeited by such grantee. The committee and the board may also grant restricted share units, performance share units, and other awards under the 2014 SIP, including shares, cash, cash and shares, other share units and share appreciation rights.

------

In order to comply with the provisions of Section 102, all awards to Israeli grantees must be held in trust for the benefit of the relevant grantee for the requisite period prescribed by the Ordinance.

Upon a "Change in Control" event (as defined in the 2014 SIP), any award then outstanding will be assumed or substituted by us or the successor corporation or by any affiliate thereof, as determined by the committee. Regardless of whether or not awards are assumed or substituted, the committee may: (1) provide for grantees to have the right to exercise their awards or otherwise for the accelerated vesting of the unvested underlying shares, under such terms as the committee will determine, including the cancellation of all unexercised awards (whether vested or unvested) upon or immediately prior to the closing of the Change in Control; and/or (2) provide for the cancellation of each outstanding and unexercised award at or immediately prior to the closing of the Change in Control, and payment to the grantees of an amount in cash or in shares of the acquirer or of a corporation or other business entity which is a party to the Change in Control, or in other property, as determined by the committee to be fair in the circumstances, and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the committee.

Awards under the 2014 SIP are not transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or to a grantee's designated beneficiary, unless, in the case of awards other than incentive stock options, otherwise determined by our committee or under the 2014 SIP. Awards may be granted from time to time pursuant to the 2014 SIP, within a period of ten years from the effective date of the 2014 SIP, which period may be extended by our board.

#### 2011 Share Incentive Plan
The 2011 Share Incentive Plan (the "2011 SIP"), was adopted by our board of directors and became effective on July 14, 2011. The 2011 SIP was approved by our shareholders on December 20, 2011. Any share underlying an award that is cancelled or terminated or forfeited for any reason without having been exercised will automatically be available for grant under the 2014 SIP. As of December 31, 2022, 11,053 options to purchase ordinary shares remained outstanding under the 2011 SIP. No new awards may be granted under the 2011 SIP.

The 2011 SIP is administered by our board or a committee established by our board. Option awards to purchase our ordinary shares that were granted under the 2011 SIP are designated in the applicable award agreement as an incentive stock option, non-qualified stock option, Section 102 award (with such designation to include the relevant tax track), Section 3(i) award, or other designations under other regimes. All awards granted under the 2011 SIP have vested. Upon termination by reason of death, disability or retirement, all of the grantee's vested options may be exercised at any time within one year after such death or disability or within three months following retirement. Upon termination for cause (as defined in the 2011 SIP), all options granted to such grantee are forfeited on the termination date. Upon termination for any other reason all vested and exercisable options at the time of termination may, unless earlier terminated in accordance with their terms, be exercised within up to 90 days after the termination date.

In the event of certain merger or sale events (as specified in the 2011 SIP), any award then outstanding will be assumed or an equivalent award will be substituted by such successor corporation under substantially the same terms as such award. If such awards are not assumed or substituted by an equivalent award, then the committee may (i) provide for grantees to have the right to exercise their awards under such terms and conditions as the committee will determine; and/or (ii) provide for the cancellation of each outstanding award at the closing of such transaction, and payment to the grantees of an amount in cash as determined by the committee to be fair in the circumstances, and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the committee.

Awards under the 2011 SIP are not transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, unless otherwise determined by the board or under the 2011 SIP, and generally expire ten years following the grant date. The 2011 SIP will terminate on the tenth anniversary of the effective date, other than with respect to those awards outstanding under the 2011 SIP at the time of termination.

#### 2020 Employee Share Purchase Plan
On January 1, 2021, our ESPP, became effective. The ESPP enables our eligible employees and eligible employees of our designated subsidiaries to elect to have payroll deductions made during the offering period in an amount not exceeding 15% of the gross base compensation which the employees receive. The aggregate number of ordinary shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP, as of January 1, 2022, was 125,000 shares (the "ESPP Share Pool"). On January 1 of each year between 2022 and 2026 the ESPP Share Pool will be increased by a number of ordinary shares equal to the lowest of (i) 1,000,000 shares, (ii) 1% of our outstanding shares on December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year, and (iii) a lesser number of shares determined by our board of directors. As of December 31, 2022, 6,898 ordinary shares were reserved for issuance under the ESPP. On January 1, 2023, the aggregate number of ordinary shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP was increased by 200,000 shares.

------

The ESPP is administered by our board of directors or by a committee designated by the board of directors. Subject to those rights which are reserved to the board of directors or which require shareholder approval under Israeli law, our board of directors has designated the compensation committee to administer the ESPP. Eligible employees become participants in the ESPP by enrolling and authorizing payroll deductions by the deadline established by the plan administrator prior to the relevant enrollment date. We expect that on the first trading day of each purchase period, each participant will automatically be granted an option to purchase our ordinary shares on the exercise date of such purchase period. The applicable purchase price will be no less than 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of our ordinary shares on the first day or the last day of the purchase period. The maximum number of ordinary shares that may be purchased under the ESPP in any offer period, per participant, is 10,000. Participant payroll deductions will be used to purchase shares on the last day of each purchase period. The plan administrator may amend, suspend or terminate the ESPP at any time. However, shareholder approval must be obtained for any amendment to the ESPP that increases the aggregate number of shares, changes the type of shares that may be sold pursuant to rights under the ESPP or changes the corporations or classes of corporations whose employees are eligible to participate in the ESPP.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**C.** **Board Practices** 

#### Board of Directors
Under the Companies Law, our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our board of directors. Our board of directors may exercise all powers and may take all actions that are not specifically granted to our shareholders or to management. Our executive officers are responsible for our day-to-day management and have individual responsibilities established by our board of directors. Our Chief Executive Officer is appointed by, and serves at the discretion of, our board of directors, subject to the employment agreement that we have entered into with him. All other executive officers are also appointed by our board of directors, and are subject to the terms of any applicable employment agreements that we may enter into with them.

We comply with the Nasdaq rule that requires a majority of our directors to be independent as defined under Nasdaq corporate governance rules. Our board of directors has determined that all of our directors, other than our Chief Executive Officer, are independent under such rules. Under our articles of association, our directors serve for a period of three years pursuant to the staggered board provisions of our articles of association. Under our articles of association, our board of directors must consist of at least four and not more than nine directors. Our board of directors currently consists of eight directors. Our Chairman of the Board is Ehud (Udi) Mokady, who also serves as our Chief Executive Officer. Under the Companies Law, a chairman of the board of directors of a public company may also serve as the chief executive officer of such company if his appointment is ratified and approved by the company's shareholders, and which term will be valid for a period not exceeding three years from the date of such shareholder approval. In June of 2022, our shareholders ratified and approved Mr. Mokady's appointment as both Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, for a two-year period. Effective April 3, 2023, Mr. Mokady will assume the role of Executive Chairman of the Board. At that time, Matthew Cohen, our Chief Operating Officer, will be appointed as Chief Executive Officer and join the Board, as a Class III director.

Pursuant to our articles of association, our directors are divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. Each class of directors consists, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of directors constituting the entire board of directors. At each annual general meeting of our shareholders, the election or re-election of directors following the expiration of the term of office of the directors of that class of directors is for a term of office that expires on the third annual general meeting following such election or re-election, such that at each annual general meeting, the term of office of only one class of directors will expire. Each director will hold office until the annual general meeting of our shareholders in which his or her term expires, unless he or she is removed by a vote of 65% of the total voting power of our shareholders at a general meeting of our shareholders or upon the occurrence of certain events, in accordance with the Companies Law and our articles of association.

------

As of the date hereof, our directors are divided among the three classes as follows:

(i) the Class I directors are Ehud (Udi) Mokady, David Schaeffer and François Auque, and their term expires at the annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2024 at the time their successors are elected and qualified;

(ii) the Class II directors are Gadi Tirosh, Amnon Shoshani and Avril England, and their term expires at the annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2025 at the time their successors are elected and qualified; and

(iii) the Class III directors are Ron Gutler and Kim Perdikou, and their term expires at the annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2023 at the time their successors are elected and qualified.

In addition, our articles of association allow our board of directors to appoint directors, create new directorships or fill vacancies on our board of directors up to the maximum number of directors permitted under our articles of association. In case of an appointment by our board of directors to fill a vacancy on our board of directors due to a director no longer serving, the term of office shall be equal to the remaining period of the term of office of the director(s) whose office(s) have been vacated, and in case of a new appointment where the number of directors serving is less than the maximum number stated in our articles of association, our board of directors shall determine at the time of appointment the class to which the new director shall be assigned.

Under the Companies Law and our articles of association, nominations for directors may be made by any shareholder(s) holding together at least 1% of our outstanding voting power. However, any such shareholder may make such a nomination only if a written notice of such shareholder's intent to make such nomination has been timely and duly given to our Secretary (or, if we have no Secretary, our Chief Executive Officer), as set forth in our articles of association. Any such notice must include certain information regarding the proposing shareholder and the proposed director nominee, the consent of the proposed director nominee(s) to serve as our director(s) if elected and a declaration signed by the proposed director nominee(s) as required by the Companies Law and that all of the information that is required to be provided to us in connection with such election under the Companies Law and under our articles of association has been provided.

Under the Companies Law, our board of directors must determine the minimum number of directors who are required to have accounting and financial expertise. A director with accounting and financial expertise is a director who, due to education, experience and skills, possesses an expertise in, and an understanding of, financial and accounting matters and financial statements, such that he or she is able to understand the financial statements of the company and initiate a discussion about the presentation of financial data.

In determining the number of directors required to have such expertise, a board of directors must consider, among other things, the type and size of the company and the scope and complexity of its operations. Our board of directors has determined that the minimum number of directors of our Company who are required to have accounting and financial expertise is one.

#### External Directors
Under the Companies Law, companies incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel that are public companies, including companies with shares listed on Nasdaq, are required to appoint at least two external directors.

Pursuant to regulations enacted under the Companies Law, the board of directors of a public company whose shares are listed on certain non-Israeli stock exchanges, including Nasdaq, that do not have a controlling shareholder (as such term is defined in the Companies Law), may, subject to certain conditions, elect to "opt-out" of the requirements of the Companies Law regarding the election of external directors and to the composition of the audit committee and compensation committee, provided that the company complies with the requirements as to director independence and audit committee and compensation committee composition applicable to companies that are incorporated in the jurisdiction in which its stock exchange is located. In May 2016, our board of directors elected to opt-out of the Companies Law requirements to appoint external directors and related Companies Law rules concerning the composition of the audit committee and compensation committee.

The foregoing exemptions will continue to be available to us so long as: (i) we do not have a "controlling shareholder" (as such term is defined under the Companies Law), (ii) our shares are traded on a U.S. stock exchange, including Nasdaq, and (iii) we comply with Nasdaq listing rules applicable to domestic U.S. companies. If in the future we were to have a controlling shareholder, we would again be required to comply with the requirements relating to external directors and composition of the audit committee and compensation committee.

------

Under the Securities Law 1968-5728 (the "Securities Law"), and the Companies Law, the term "controlling shareholder" means a 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 the majority of the directors of the company or its general manager. 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.

#### Lead Independent Director
Mr. Mokady has been our CEO since 2005, and following approval by our shareholders at the June 2016 and July 2019 annual shareholder meetings, has held that post in addition to serving as our Chairman. As approved by our shareholders at the July 2019 annual shareholder meeting, for so long as the positions of the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board are combined, the non-executive board members will select a Lead Independent Director from among the independent directors of the Board, who has served a minimum of one year as a director. If at any meeting of the Board the Lead Independent Director is not present, for the purpose and duration of such meeting, the Chairman of the Audit Committee, Chairman of the Compensation Committee, or an independent member of the Board appointed by a majority of the independent members of the Board present will act as the Lead Independent Director, in the order listed above. Mr. Tirosh has been our Lead Independent Director since June 2016.

The authorities and responsibilities of the Lead Independent Director prior to the planned separation of the roles of CEO and Chairman of the Board in April 2023 include, but are not limited to, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o providing leadership to the Board if circumstances arise in which the role of the Chairman of the Board may be, or may be perceived
 to be, in conflict, and responding to any reported conflicts of interest, or potential conflicts of interest, arising for any director;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o developing and managing the execution of a plan for the orderly separation of the Chairman of the Board and CEO roles;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o presiding as chairman of meetings of the Board at which the Chairman of the Board is not present, including executive sessions of
 the independent members of the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o serving as liaison between the Chairman of the Board and the independent members of the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o approving meeting agendas for the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o approving information sent to the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o approving meeting schedules to assure that there is sufficient time for discussion of all agenda items;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o having the authority to call meetings of the independent members of the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o being available for consultation and direct communication with shareholders, as appropriate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o recommending that the Board retain consultants or advisers that report directly to the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o conferring with the Chairman of the Board on important Board matters and ensuring the Board focuses on key issues and tasks facing
 the Company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o performing such other duties as the Board may from time to time delegate to assist the Board in the fulfillment of its duties.

We intend to maintain the role of a Lead Independent Director following our execution of the planned leadership changes in April 2023, and will disclose revised roles and responsibilities reflecting such changes as part of our 2023 Proxy Statement.

#### Audit Committee
Under the Companies Law, the board of directors of a public company must appoint an audit committee. Our audit committee consists of three independent directors, Ron Gutler (Chairperson), Kim Perdikou, and François Auque.

------

#### Audit Committee Composition
Under Nasdaq corporate governance rules, we are required to maintain an audit committee consisting of at least three independent directors, each of whom is financially literate and one of whom has accounting or related financial management expertise.

All members of our audit committee meet the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq corporate governance rules. Our board of directors has determined that each of Ron Gutler, Kim Perdikou and François Auque is an audit committee financial expert as defined by SEC rules and each has the requisite financial experience as defined by Nasdaq corporate governance rules.

Each of the members of the audit committee is "independent" as such term is defined in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act, which is different from the general test for independence of board members and members of other committees.

#### Audit Committee Role
Our board of directors has an audit committee charter that sets forth the responsibilities of the audit committee consistent with the rules of the SEC and the listing requirements of Nasdaq, as well as the requirements for such committee under the Companies Law. The responsibilities of the audit committee under the audit committee charter include, among others, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o overseeing of our accounting and financial reporting process and the audits of our financial statements, the effectiveness of our
 internal control over financial reporting and making such reports as may be required of an audit committee under the rules and regulations
 promulgated under the Exchange Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o retaining and terminating our independent registered public accounting firm subject to the approval of our board of directors and,
 in the case of retention, of our shareholders and recommending the terms of audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered
 public accounting firm for pre-approval by our board of directors and related fees and terms;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o establishing systems of internal control over financial reporting, including communication and implementation thereof and the assessment
 of the internal controls in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and any attestation by the independent registered public accounting
 firm;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o determining whether there are deficiencies in the business
 management practices of our Company, including in consultation with our Head of Internal Audit or the independent registered public accounting
 firm, and making recommendations to the board of directors to improve such practices;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o determining whether to approve certain related party transactions (see "Item 6.C. Board Practices —Approval of Related
 Party Transactions under Israeli Law");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o recommending to the board of directors the retention and termination of our Head of Internal Audit, and determining the Head of Internal
 Audit's remuneration, in accordance with the Companies Law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o approving the working plan proposed by the Head of Internal Audit and reviewing and discussing the work of the internal auditor on
 a quarterly basis;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o reviewing our cybersecurity risks and controls with senior management, keeping our board informed of key issues related to cybersecurity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o establishing procedures for the handling of employees' complaints as to the deficiencies in the management of our business
 and the protection to be provided to such employees; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o performing such other duties consistent with the audit committee charter, our governing documents, stock exchange rules and applicable
 law that may be requested by the board of directors from time to time, including discussing with management policies and practices that
 govern the process by which the Company undertakes risk assessment and management in sensitive areas.

------

#### Compensation Committee
Under the Companies Law, the board of directors of any public company must appoint a compensation committee. Our compensation committee consists of three independent directors, Kim Perdikou (Chairperson), Gadi Tirosh and Ron Gutler.

#### Compensation Committee Composition
Under Nasdaq corporate governance rules, we are required to maintain a compensation committee consisting of at least two independent directors. Each of the members of the compensation committee is "independent" as such term is defined in Rule 10C-1(b)(1) under the Exchange Act, which is different from the general test for independence of board members and members of other committees.

#### Compensation Policy pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law
The duties of the compensation committee include the recommendation to the company's board of directors of a policy regarding the terms of engagement of office holders, as such term is defined under the Companies Law, to which we refer as a compensation policy. That compensation policy must be adopted by the company's board of directors, after considering the recommendations of the compensation committee, and must be brought for approval by the company's shareholders at least once every three years, which approval requires a Special Approval for Compensation (as defined below under "—Approval of Related Party Transactions under Israeli Law—Disclosure of Personal Interests of an Office Holder and Approval of Certain Transactions").

Under special circumstances, the board of directors may approve the compensation policy despite the objection of the shareholders on the condition that the compensation committee and then the board of directors decide, on the basis of detailed grounds and after discussing again the compensation policy, that approval of the compensation policy, despite the objection of the meeting of shareholders, is for the benefit of the company.

The compensation policy must serve as the basis for decisions concerning the financial terms of employment or engagement of office holders, including exculpation, insurance, indemnification or any monetary payment, obligation of payment or other benefit in respect of employment or engagement. The compensation policy must be determined and later re-evaluated according to certain factors, including the advancement of the company's objectives, business plan and its long-term strategy and creation of appropriate incentives for office holders, while considering, among other things, the company's risk management policy, the size and the nature of its operations and with respect to variable compensation, the contribution of the office holder towards the achievement of the company's long-term goals and the maximization of its profits, all with a long-term objective and according to the position of the office holder. The compensation policy must include certain principles, such as: a link between variable compensation and long-term performance, which variable compensation shall, other than with respect to office holders who report to the CEO, be primarily based on measurable criteria; the relationship between variable and fixed compensation; and the minimum holding or vesting period for variable, equity-based compensation. The compensation committee is responsible for (a) recommending the compensation policy to a company's board of directors for its approval (and subsequent approval by our shareholders) and (b) duties related to the compensation policy and to the compensation of company's office holders (as described below). Accordingly, following the recommendation and approval of our compensation committee and Board, our shareholders approved our compensation policy at the June 2022 annual general meeting.

#### Compensation Committee Role
Our board of directors has adopted a compensation committee charter that sets forth the responsibilities of the compensation committee. The responsibilities of the committee set forth in its charter and the Companies Law include, among others, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o recommending to the board of directors for its approval a compensation policy and subsequently reviewing it from time to time, assessing
 its implementation and recommending periodic updates, whether a new compensation policy should be adopted or an existing compensation
 policy should continue in effect;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o reviewing, evaluating and making recommendations regarding the terms of office, compensation and benefits for our office holders,
 including the non-employee directors, taking into account our compensation policy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o exempting certain compensation arrangements from the requirement to obtain shareholder approval under the Companies Law (including
 with respect to the Chief Executive Officer); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o reviewing and granting equity-based awards pursuant to our equity incentive plans to the extent such authority is delegated to the
 compensation committee by our board of directors and the reserving of additional shares for issuance thereunder.

Under our compensation policy, which was approved by our shareholders in June 2022, the compensation committee is responsible for the general administration of the policy.

------

**Nominating, Environmental, Sustainability**and Governance Committee

Our nominating, environmental, sustainability and governance committee consists of three independent directors, Gadi Tirosh (Chairperson), Kim Perdikou and Amnon Shoshani.

#### Nominating Environmental, Sustainability and Governance Committee Role
Our board of directors has a nominating , environmental, sustainability and governance committee charter that sets forth the responsibilities of the nominating, environmental, sustainability and governance committee, which include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o overseeing and assisting our board of directors in reviewing and recommending nominees for election as directors and as members of
 the committees of the board of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o establishing procedures for, and administering the performance of the members of our board and its committees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o evaluating and making recommendations to our board of directors regarding the termination of membership of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o reviewing, evaluating and making recommendations regarding management succession and development;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o reviewing and making recommendations to our board of directors regarding board member qualifications, composition and structure and
 the nature and duties of the committees and qualifications of committee members;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o establishing and maintaining effective corporate governance principles and practices, including, but not limited to, developing and
 recommending to our board of directors a set of corporate governance guidelines applicable to our Company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o provide oversight of the Company's efforts with regard to ESG matters, disclosure and strategy, as well as coordinate, as necessary,
 with other committees of the board of directors and the Company's ESG committee and steering committee, which are comprised of key
 Company employees and management.

#### Disclosure of Compensation of Executive Officers
For so long as we qualify as a foreign private issuer, we are not required to comply with the proxy rules applicable to U.S. domestic companies, including the requirement applicable to certain domestic issuers that do not qualify as emerging growth companies to disclose on an individual, rather than an aggregate basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as defined in Item 402 of Regulation S-K. Nevertheless, the Companies Law requires that we disclose the annual compensation of our five most highly compensated office holders (as defined under the Companies Law) on an individual basis. Under the Companies Law regulations, this disclosure is required to be included in the annual proxy statement for our annual meeting of shareholders each year, which we will furnish to the SEC under cover of a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K. Because of that disclosure requirement under Israeli law, we are also including such information in this annual report, pursuant to the disclosure requirements of Form 20-F.

For additional information, see "Item 6.B. Compensation— Compensation of Directors and Senior Management."

#### Compensation of Directors
Under the Companies Law, compensation of directors requires the approval described below under "Approval of Related Party Transactions under Israeli Law - Disclosure of Personal Interests of an Office Holder and Approval of Certain Transactions."

------

The directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travel, hotel and other expenses expended by them in attending board meetings and performing their functions as directors of the Company, all of which is to be determined by the board of directors.

For additional information, see "Item 6.B. Compensation—Compensation of Directors and Senior Management."

#### Internal Auditor
Under the Companies Law, the board of directors of an Israeli public company must appoint an internal auditor recommended by the audit committee. An internal auditor may not be:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o a person (or a relative of a person) who holds more than 5% of the company's outstanding shares or voting rights;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o a person (or a relative of a person) who has the power to appoint a director or the general manager of the company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o an office holder (including a director) of the company (or a relative thereof); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o a member of the company's independent accounting firm, or anyone on his or her behalf.

The role of the internal auditor is to examine, among other things, our compliance with applicable law and orderly business procedures. The audit committee is required to oversee the activities and to assess the performance of the internal auditor as well as to review the internal auditor's work plan. Dror Bar Moshe served as our internal auditor, as Head of Internal Audit for the year ended December 31, 2022.

#### Approval of Related Party Transactions under Israeli Law

#### Fiduciary Duties of Directors and Office Holders
The Companies Law codifies the fiduciary duties that office holders owe to a company. The term "office holder" is defined under the Companies Law as a general manager, chief business manager, deputy general manager, vice general manager, any other person assuming the responsibilities of any of these positions (regardless of that person's title), a director and any other manager directly subordinate to the general manager.

An office holder's fiduciary duties consist of a duty of care and a duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires an office holder to act with the level of care with which a reasonable office holder in the same position would have acted under the same circumstances. The duty of loyalty requires that an office holder act in good faith and in the best interests of the company.

The duty of care includes a duty to use reasonable means to obtain:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o information on the advisability of a given action brought for his or her approval or performed by virtue of his or her position;
 and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o all other important information pertaining to any such action.

The duty of loyalty includes a duty to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o refrain from any conflict of interest between the performance of his or her duties to the company and his or her duties or personal
 affairs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o refrain from any action which competes with the company's business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o refrain from exploiting any business opportunity of the company in order to receive a personal gain for himself or herself or others;
 and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o disclose to the company any information or documents relating to the company's affairs which the office holder received as
 a result of his or her position as an office holder.

We may approve an act specified above that would otherwise constitute a breach of the duty of loyalty of an office holder, provided, that the office holder acted in good faith, the act or its approval does not harm the company, and the office holder discloses his or her personal interest, including any related material information or document, a sufficient time before the approval of such act. Any such approval is subject to the terms of the Companies Law, setting forth, among other things, the organs of the company entitled to provide such approval, and the methods of obtaining such approval.

------

#### Disclosure of Personal Interests of an Office Holder and Approval of Certain Transactions
The Companies Law requires that an office holder promptly disclose to the board of directors any personal interest that he or she may be aware of and all related material information or documents concerning any existing or proposed transaction with the company. An interested office holder's disclosure must be made promptly and in any event no later than the first meeting of the board of directors in which the transaction is considered.

Under the Companies Law, a "personal interest" includes an interest of any person in an act or transaction of a company, including a personal interest of such person'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 he or she has the right to appoint at least one director or the general manager, but excluding a personal interest stemming from one's ownership of shares in the company. A personal interest furthermore 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 his or her 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. An office holder is not, however, obliged to disclose a personal interest if it derives solely from the personal interest of his or her relative in a transaction that is not considered an extraordinary transaction. Under the Companies Law, an extraordinary transaction is defined as any of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o a transaction other than in the ordinary course of business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o a transaction that is not on market terms; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o a transaction that may have a material impact on a company's profitability, assets or liabilities.

If it is determined that an office holder has a personal interest in a transaction, approval by the board of directors (and, in certain circumstances, of its applicable committee) is required for the transaction, unless the company's articles of association provide for a different method of approval. Further, so long as an office holder has disclosed his or her personal interest in a transaction and acted in good faith and the transaction or action does not harm the company's best interests, the board of directors may approve an action by the office holder that would otherwise be deemed a breach of duty of loyalty.

The compensation of, or an undertaking to indemnify or insure, an office holder requires approval first by the company's compensation committee, then by the company's board of directors, and, if such compensation arrangement or an undertaking to indemnify or insure is that of a director, the approval of the shareholders by an ordinary majority. If such compensation arrangement or an undertaking to indemnify or insure is inconsistent with the company's stated compensation policy then such arrangement is subject to the approval of a majority vote of the shares present and voting at a shareholders meeting, provided that either, which we refer to as the Special Approval for Compensation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) such majority includes at least a majority of the shares held by all shareholders who do not have a personal interest in such compensation arrangement and are not controlling shareholders, excluding abstentions; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the total number of shares of shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the compensation arrangement and who vote against the arrangement does not exceed 2% of the company's aggregate voting rights.

Generally, a person who has a personal interest in a matter which is considered at a meeting of the board of directors or the audit committee may not be present at such a meeting or vote on that matter unless the chairman of the relevant committee or board of directors (as applicable) determines that he or she should be present in order to present the transaction that is subject to approval, in which case such person may do so but may not vote on the matter. If a majority of the members of the audit committee or the board of directors (as applicable) has a personal interest in the approval of a transaction, then all directors may participate in discussions of the audit committee or the board of directors (as applicable) on such transaction and the voting on approval thereof. However, in the event that a majority of the members of the board has a personal interest in a transaction, shareholder approval is also required for such transaction.

------

#### Disclosure of Personal Interests of Controlling Shareholders and Approval of Certain Transactions
We currently do not have a controlling shareholder. If in the future we would have a controlling shareholder, disclosure requirements regarding personal interests will apply and shareholder approval (meeting a special majority requirement) will be required with respect to transactions specified in the Companies Law involving the controlling shareholder, parties having certain relationships with the controlling shareholder and certain other specific transactions. In such cases, the votes of a controlling shareholder and certain parties associated with it would be excluded for purposes of special majority voting requirements. Additionally, the Companies Law provides a different, broader definition of a controlling shareholder with respect to the provisions pertaining to the approval of related party transactions.

#### Shareholder Duties
Pursuant to the Companies Law, a shareholder has a duty to act in good faith and in a customary manner toward the company and other shareholders and to refrain from abusing his or her power in the company, including, among other things, in voting at a general meeting and at shareholder class meetings with respect to the following matters:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o an amendment to the company's articles of association;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o an increase of the company's authorized share capital;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o a merger; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o the approval of related party transactions and acts of office holders that require shareholder approval.

In addition, a shareholder also has a general duty to refrain from discriminating against other shareholders.

Certain shareholders also have a duty of fairness toward the company. These shareholders include any controlling shareholder, any shareholder who knows that he or she has the power to determine the outcome of a shareholder vote and any shareholder who has the power to appoint or to prevent the appointment of an office holder of the company or other power towards the company. The Companies Law does not define the substance of the duty of fairness, except to state that the remedies generally available upon a breach of contract will also apply in the event of a breach of the duty to act with fairness.

#### Exculpation, Insurance and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Under the Companies Law, a company may not exculpate an office holder from liability for a breach of the duty of loyalty. An Israeli company may exculpate an office holder in advance from liability to the company, in whole or in part, for damages caused to the company as a result of a breach of duty of care but only if a provision authorizing such exculpation is included in its articles of association. Our articles of association include such a provision. The company may not exculpate in advance a director from liability arising out of a prohibited dividend or distribution to shareholders.

Under the Companies Law and the Securities Law, a company may indemnify an office holder in respect of the following liabilities, payments and expenses incurred for acts performed by him or her as an office holder, either pursuant to an undertaking made in advance of an event or following an event, provided its articles of association include a provision authorizing such indemnification:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o a monetary liability incurred by or imposed on him or her in favor of another person pursuant to a judgment, including a settlement
 or arbitrator's award approved by a court. However, if an undertaking to indemnify an office holder with respect to such liability
 is provided in advance, then such undertaking must be limited to certain events which, in the opinion of the board of directors, can be
 foreseen based on the company's activities when the undertaking to indemnify is given, and to an amount or according to criteria
 determined by the board of directors as reasonable under the circumstances, and such undertaking shall detail the foreseen events and
 described above amount or criteria;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o reasonable litigation expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by the office holder (1) as a result of
 an investigation or proceeding instituted against him or her by an authority authorized to conduct such investigation or proceeding, provided
 that (i) no indictment was filed against such office holder as a result of such investigation or proceeding; and (ii) no financial
 liability was imposed upon him or her as a substitute for the criminal proceeding as a result of such investigation or proceeding or,
 if such financial liability was imposed, it was imposed with respect to an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent; or
 (2) in connection with a monetary sanction or liability imposed on him or her in favor of an injured party in certain Administrative
 proceedings;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o expenses incurred by an office holder in connection with Administrative proceedings instituted against such office holder, or certain
 compensation payments made to an injured party imposed on an office holder by Administrative proceedings, including reasonable litigation
 expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by the office holder or imposed by a court in proceedings
 instituted against him or her by the company, on its behalf, or by a third party, or in connection with criminal proceedings in which
 the office holder was acquitted, or as a result of a conviction for an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent.

Under the Companies Law and the Securities Law, a company may insure an office holder against the following liabilities incurred for acts performed by him or her as an office holder if and to the extent provided in the company's articles of association:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o a breach of duty of care to the company or to a third party, to the extent such a breach arises out of the negligent conduct of the
 office holder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o a breach of the duty of loyalty to the company, provided that the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to
 believe that the act would not harm the company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o a monetary liability imposed on the office holder in favor of a third party;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o a monetary liability imposed on the office holder in favor of an injured party in certain Administrative proceedings; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o expenses incurred by an office holder in connection with certain Administrative proceedings, including reasonable litigation expenses
 and reasonable attorneys' fees.

Under the Companies Law, a company may not indemnify, exculpate or insure an office holder against any of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o a breach of the duty of loyalty, except for indemnification and insurance for a breach of the duty of loyalty to the company to the
 extent that the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice the company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o a breach of duty of care committed intentionally or recklessly, excluding a breach arising out of the negligent conduct of the office
 holder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o an act or omission committed with intent to derive illegal personal benefit; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o a civil or criminal fine, monetary sanction or forfeit levied against the office holder.

Under the Companies Law, exculpation, indemnification and insurance of office holders in a public company must be approved by the compensation committee and the board of directors and, with respect to certain office holders or under certain circumstances, also by the shareholders. See "Item 6.C. Board Practices—Approval of Related Party Transactions under Israeli Law."

We have entered into indemnification agreements with our office holders to exculpate, indemnify and insure our office holders to the fullest extent permitted or to be permitted by our articles of association and applicable law (including without limitation), the Companies Law, the Securities Law and the Israeli Restrictive Trade Practices Law, 5758-1988. We have obtained director and officer liability insurance for the benefit of our office holders and intend to continue to maintain such insurance as deemed adequate and to the extent permitted by the Companies Law.

All our employment agreements are governed by local labor laws. None of our employees work under any collective bargaining agreements, except for our employees in Italy who work under the national collective bargaining agreement for trade and commerce sector (*CCNL Commercio*), which affects matters such as length of working, annual holidays entitlement, sick leave, travel expenses and pension rights, and our employees in France who work under the collective bargaining agreement for offices of technical studies, offices of consulting engineers and consulting firms (*SYNTEC CBA*), and our employees in Spain who work under the collective bargaining agreement for the sale of Metal of the Region of Madrid or the collective bargaining agreement for the sale of Metal of the province of Barcelona, depending on their location.

With respect to our Israeli employees, Israeli labor laws govern the length of the workday, minimum wages for employees, procedures for hiring and dismissing employees, determination of severance pay, annual leave, sick days, advance notice of termination of employment, equal opportunity and anti-discrimination laws and other conditions of employment. Subject to certain exceptions, Israeli law generally requires severance pay upon the retirement, death or dismissal of an employee, and requires us and our employees to make payments to the National Insurance Institute, which is similar to the U.S. Social Security Administration. Our Israeli employees have pension plans that comply with the applicable Israeli legal requirements and we make monthly contributions to severance pay funds for all Israeli employees, which cover potential severance pay obligations.

Extension orders issued by the Israeli Ministry of Economy and Industry (formerly the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor) apply to our employees in Israel and affect matters such as, living adjustments to salaries, length of working hours and week, recuperation pay, travel expenses, and pension rights. We have never experienced labor-related work stoppages or strikes and believe that our relations with our employees are satisfactory.

#### Environmental, Social & Governance
We view ESG principles as being part of our broader strategy and values and believe that transparently disclosing our initiatives related to our ESG program will allow our stakeholders to be informed about our progress.

Our approach to ESG is guided by an internal ESG Committee, which is led by the Senior Vice President, Investor Relations and ESG and comprises members of key business areas including Legal and Compliance, Human Resources, Investor Relations, Information Technology and Product Management. The ESG Committee reports to an Executive Steering Committee that includes the CEO. Ultimately, the ESG Committee is overseen by the Board's Nominating, Environmental, Sustainability and Governance Committee and the full Board. We believe this structure increases the Board's effectiveness as it oversees our progress, including the establishment of key metrics and targets. Our ESG highlights, as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, include the following:

***Governance, Ethics and Compliance*.** We are committed to promoting integrity, honesty and professionalism and to maintaining the highest standards of ethical conduct in all of our activities. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we rolled out a new Code of Conduct to align more closely with our values and address the compliance risks most relevant to our business. All CyberArk employees and executive officers are required to certify their compliance with the Code and other company policies on an annual basis. Our Governance, Ethics and Compliance strategy is overseen by our Chief Legal Officer and supported by our VP of Compliance & Ethics, who joined CyberArk in early 2022. We periodically review our compliance program in an effort to ensure that risk mitigation efforts meet relevant regulatory requirements. Our progress is regularly reviewed with our Chief Financial Officer and our CEO. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has primary oversight of our Ethics and Compliance program. See "Item 16B. Code of Ethics" for additional details.

------

***Environment and Climate***. We recognize the importance of environmental stewardship. During 2022, we took steps to better understand our carbon footprint. As we analyze the results, we are looking at possible opportunities to further understand how we can reduce our impact on the environment.

#### Human Capital Management
Our People strategy (also Human Capital Management) is built on four pillars: Attract, Belong, Communicate and Develop – the ABCDs. The ABCD strategy is one focused on the wellbeing, retention, and career development of our people, since our culture continues to be a key ingredient in our success.

We believe that the holistic experience across the ABCD pillars, combined with the right tone at the top, makes the most impact on our employees and our culture. We are committed to hiring talented, smart, bold but humble employees who love a challenge. Our Chief Human Resource Officer, who reports directly to our Chief Executive Officer, oversees our broad and comprehensive initiatives to promote a strong culture, including employee recognition programs, matching charitable donations, a wide range of community volunteering opportunities, team building events, regular executive round table discussions and employee engagement surveys.

#### Our Culture
Our culture is an important contributing factor to our success and a key differentiator in our strategy. We value diversity and inclusion which allows for the exchange of ideas, creates a strong community and helps our employees to feel valued and respected.

![](image1.jpg)

#### Attract: Recruitment & Wellbeing
As a growing business, we focus on attracting employees that align to our core values. In 2022, we expanded our recruitment program and increased our focus on hiring and training recent university graduates including rolling out a "U-Code" program in Israel. We offer a pay-for-performance total rewards approach. Our methodology includes competitive base salaries, variable pay programs to drive target achievements, long-term incentives such as equity grants and customized benefits packages across all our regions. We regularly review our total compensation offerings to address constantly changing trends and developments in the complex global and local markets in which we operate. We have a hybrid work model to promote our employees' ability to meet their individual work-environment needs.

------

We provide our employees and their families with robust healthcare benefits and a variety of health and wellness programs. From our benefits and workspaces to our employee engagement and focus on values, we are creating an environment that fosters communication, collaboration and community. We invest in our employees through various training and wellness programs focused on physical, emotional and financial wellbeing, including lectures, meditation sessions, physical fitness classes and challenges, monthly newsletters and team-building activities.

#### Belong: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
***Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are critical to the successful execution of our strategy. Cultivating a diverse, equitable and inclusive culture drives innovation, strengthens decision-making processes, and creates a strong community that enables employees to be themselves. Given its importance to our overall strategic execution, our diversity, equity and inclusion program is overseen by the compensation committee and the Board.***

We also took important strides in cultivating a more diverse, equitable and inclusive culture by launching two new Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) – one for women and the other for the LGBTQIA2S+ and ally community.

#### Communicate: Employee Engagement, Recognition & Satisfaction
 ***Two-way communication helps drive alignment and higher levels of employee engagement and satisfaction. We regularly engage with our employees through programs such as our quarterly all-hands meetings as well as roundtable sessions to increase transparency of strategy and progress through the lens of senior leaders. Providing bi-annual feedback dialogues between each employee and their manager is another avenue for career planning and assessment to outline achievements, challenges and growth opportunities.***

Using a third party, we regularly conduct comprehensive employee engagement surveys throughout all regions and departments. In our latest survey we had a participation rate of 81%, up from 74% in 2021, and our engagement score was well above the industry benchmark, indicating that 84% of our employees were pleased with their overall experience and would recommend CyberArk to a peer. We utilize this feedback to enhance and improve overall employee experience, our culture and our strategy. Based on the survey, we executed programs including a series of small roundtable discussions to increase communication, a leadership conference to increase customer centricity and more flexible work arrangements and training that promote better work-life balance.

#### Develop: Learning and Career Development
We encourage all our employees to shape their own learning journey and take advantage of the learning and development opportunities we provide. Learning and development helps everyone become more impactful in both their current role as well as in future roles. In addition, we deliver learning solutions using various methodologies including classroom-based sessions, virtual webinars, coaching and experiential learning to meet the needs of our employees. Some of these learning efforts include an effective onboarding process for new employees and management training for managers, as well as learning opportunities aligned with our strategic direction. Likewise, we provide all employees with access to multiple platforms for various self-paced, on-demand learning opportunities.

Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Human Resource Officer regularly report to the Board and the compensation committee on issues related to human capital management.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**E.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Share Ownership**

For information regarding the share ownership of our directors and senior management, please refer to "Item 6.B. Compensation" and "Item 7.A. Major Shareholders."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**A.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Major Shareholders**

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our shares as of January 31, 2023 by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each person or entity known by us to own beneficially 5% or more of our outstanding shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each of our directors and senior management individually; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all of our senior management and directors as a group.

The beneficial ownership of ordinary shares is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes any ordinary shares over which a person exercises sole or shared voting or investment power, or the right to receive the economic benefit of ownership. For purposes of the table below, we deem shares subject to equity-based awards that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of January 31, 2023, to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the equity-based awards for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of that person but we do not treat them as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The percentage of shares beneficially owned is based on 41,070,787 ordinary shares outstanding as of January 31, 2023.

As of January 31, 2023, we had 6 holders of record of our ordinary shares in the United States, including Cede & Co., the nominee of The Depository Trust Company. These shareholders held in the aggregate 41,067,024 of our outstanding ordinary shares, or 99.9% of our outstanding ordinary shares as of January 31, 2023. The number of record holders in the United States is not representative of the number of beneficial holders nor is it representative of where such beneficial holders are resident since many of these ordinary shares were held by brokers or other nominees.

All of our shareholders, including the shareholders listed below, have the same voting rights attached to their ordinary shares. See "Item 10.B. Memorandum and Articles of Association." None of our principal shareholders or our directors and senior management have different or special voting rights with respect to their ordinary shares. Unless otherwise noted below, each shareholder's address is CyberArk Software Ltd. 9 Hapsagot St., Park Ofer B, POB 3143, Petach-Tikva, 4951040, Israel.

A description of any material relationship that our principal shareholders have had with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates since January 31, 2022 is included under "Item 7.B. Related Party Transactions."

#### Significant Changes
No significant changes have occurred since December 31, 2022, except as otherwise disclosed in this annual report.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**B.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Related Party Transactions**

Our policy is to enter into transactions with related parties on terms that, on the whole, are no more favorable, or no less favorable, than those available from unaffiliated third parties. Based on our experience in the business sectors in which we operate and the terms of our transactions with unaffiliated third parties, we believe that all of the transactions described below met this policy standard at the time they occurred.

The following is a description of material transactions, or series of related material transactions, since January 1, 2022, to which we were or will be a party and in which the other parties included or will include our directors, executive officers, holders of more than 10% of our voting securities or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons.

------

#### Registration Rights
Our investor rights agreement entitles our shareholders to certain registration rights. None of our shareholders are currently entitled to registration rights.

#### Agreements with Directors and Officers
*Employment and Related Agreements*. We have entered into written employment agreements with each of our officers. These agreements provide for notice periods of varying duration for termination of the agreement by us or by the relevant executive officer, during which time the officer will continue to receive base salary and benefits. These agreements also contain customary provisions regarding confidentiality of information and ownership of inventions.

*Equity Awards*. Since our inception we have granted options to purchase, and restricted share units underlying, our ordinary shares to our officers and certain of our directors. Such award agreements contain acceleration provisions upon certain merger, acquisition, or change of control transactions. We describe our equity incentive plans under "Item 6.B. Compensation—Equity Incentive Plans" and the equity-based compensation received by certain of our senior managers in "Item 6.B. Compensation—Compensation of Directors and Senior Management." If the relationship between us and a senior manager, or a director, is terminated, except for cause (as defined in the various option plan agreements), all options that are vested will remain exercisable for ninety days after such termination in the case of our executive officers, or one year in the case of our directors.

*Exculpation, Indemnification and Insurance.* Our articles of association permit us to exculpate, indemnify and insure certain of our office holders to the fullest extent permitted by Israeli law. We have entered into agreements with certain of our office holders, including our directors, exculpating them from a breach of their duty of care to us to the fullest extent permitted by law and undertaking to indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by law, subject to certain exceptions. See "Item 6.C. Board Practices—Exculpation, Insurance and Indemnification of Directors and Officers."

#### Consolidated Financial Statements
We have appended as part of this annual report our consolidated financial statements starting at page F-1.

#### Legal Proceedings
From time to time we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. We are currently not a party to any material litigation, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened material legal or administrative proceedings against us. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

#### Dividend Policy
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our ordinary shares. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance operations and expand our business. Our board of directors has sole discretion whether to pay dividends. If our board of directors decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that our directors may deem relevant. The distribution of dividends may also be limited by Israeli law, which permits the distribution of dividends only out of retained earnings or otherwise upon the permission of an Israeli court.

A copy of our amended and restated articles of association is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 1.1 to this annual report on Form 20-F.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**D.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Exchange Controls**

In 1998, Israeli currency control regulations were liberalized significantly, so that Israeli residents generally may freely deal in foreign currency and foreign assets, and non-residents may freely deal in Israeli currency and Israeli assets. There are currently no Israeli currency control restrictions on remittances of dividends on the ordinary shares or the proceeds from the sale of the shares provided that all taxes were paid or withheld; however, legislation remains in effect pursuant to which currency controls can be imposed by administrative action at any time.

Non-residents of Israel may freely hold and trade our securities. Neither our articles of association nor the laws of the State of Israel restrict in any way the ownership or voting of ordinary shares by non-residents, except that such restrictions may exist with respect to citizens of countries which are in a state of war with Israel. Israeli residents are allowed to purchase our ordinary shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**E.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Taxation**

------

#### Certain Israeli Tax Consequences
The following description is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares. You should consult your tax advisor concerning the specific and individual tax consequences of your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences that may arise under the laws of any state, local, foreign or other taxing jurisdiction. This summary does not discuss all of the aspects of Israeli tax law that may be relevant to a particular investor in light of his or her personal investment circumstances or to some types of investors subject to special treatment under Israeli law. Examples of such investors include residents of Israel or traders in securities who are subject to special tax regimes not covered in this discussion. Some parts of this discussion are based on tax legislation which has not been subject to judicial or administrative interpretation. The discussion should not be construed as legal or professional tax advice and does not cover all possible tax considerations.

#### Capital Gains
Capital gain tax is generally imposed on the disposal of capital assets by an Israeli resident, and on the disposal of such assets by a non-Israel resident if those assets are either (i) located in Israel, (ii) are shares or a right to a share in an Israeli resident corporation, or (iii) represent, directly or indirectly, rights to assets located in Israel, unless a tax treaty in force between Israel and the seller's country of residence provides otherwise. The Ordinance distinguishes between "Real Capital Gain" and the "Inflationary Surplus." Real Capital Gain is the excess of the total capital gain over Inflationary Surplus computed generally on the basis of the increase in the Israeli Consumer Price Index (CPI) between the date of purchase and the date of disposal.

The Real Capital Gain accrued by individuals on the sale of our ordinary shares (that were purchased after January 1, 2012, whether listed on a stock exchange or not) will be taxed at the rate of 25%. However, if such shareholder is a "Controlling Shareholder" (i.e., a person who holds, directly or indirectly, alone or together with such person's relative or another person who collaborates with such person on a permanent basis, 10% or more of one of the Israeli resident company's means of control) at the time of sale or at any time during the preceding 12 month period and/or claims a deduction for interest and linkage differences expenses in connection with the purchase and holding of such shares, such gain will be taxed at the rate of 30%. "Means of control" generally include the right to vote, receive profits, nominate a director or an executive officer, receive assets upon liquidation, or order someone who holds any of the aforesaid rights how to act, regardless of the source of such right.

The Real Capital Gain derived by corporations will generally be subject to the ordinary corporate tax (23% in 2018 and thereafter).

An individual shareholder dealing in securities, or to whom such income is otherwise taxable as ordinary business income are taxed in Israel at their marginal tax rates applicable to business income (up to 47% in 2022). Certain Israeli institutions who are exempt from tax under section 9(2) or section 129(C)(a)(1) of the Ordinance (such as exempt trust fund, pension fund) may be exempt from capital gains tax from the sale of our ordinary shares.

#### Capital Gains Taxes Applicable to Non-Israeli Resident Shareholders
A non-Israeli resident who derives capital gains from the sale of shares in an Israeli resident company that were purchased after the company was listed for trading on a stock exchange outside of Israel should generally be exempt from Israeli capital gains tax so long as the capital gains derived from the sale of the shares was not attributed to a permanent establishment that the non-resident maintains in Israel and that such shareholders are not subject to the Israeli Income Tax Law (Inflationary Adjustments) 5745-1985. However, non-Israeli corporations will not be entitled to the foregoing exemption if Israeli residents: (i) have a controlling interest of more than 25% in such non-Israeli corporation or (ii) are the beneficiaries of, or are entitled to, 25% or more of the revenues or profits of such non-Israeli corporation, whether directly or indirectly. Such exemption is not applicable to a person whose gains from selling or otherwise disposing of the shares are deemed to be a business income.

Additionally, a sale of shares by a non-Israeli resident (either an individual or a corporation) may be exempt from Israeli capital gains tax under the eligibility to enjoy the provisions of an applicable tax treaty benefits which should generally supersede Israeli domestic legislation. For example, under the Convention between the United States and the Government of the State of Israel with respect to income taxes (the "United States-Israel Tax Treaty"), the disposition of shares by a shareholder who (i) is a U.S. resident (for purposes of the treaty), (ii) holds the shares as a capital asset, and (iii) is entitled to claim the benefits afforded to such person by the treaty, is generally exempt from Israeli capital gains tax. Such exemption will not apply if: (i) the capital gain arising from the disposition can be attributed to royalties; (ii) the shareholder holds, directly or indirectly, shares representing 10% or more of the voting capital during any part of the 12-month period preceding such sale, exchange or disposition, subject to certain conditions; (iii) such U.S. resident is an individual and was present in Israel for a period or periods aggregating to 183 days or more during the relevant taxable year; (iv) the capital gain arising from such sale, exchange or disposition is attributed to real estate located in Israel; or (v) the shareholder is a U.S. resident (for purposes of the U.S.-Israel Treaty) and deemed a dealer or otherwise is deemed to have business income from such sale, exchange or disposition of the shares attributed to a permanent establishment in Israel. In such case, the sale, exchange or disposition of our ordinary shares would be subject to Israeli tax, to the extent applicable; however, under the United States-Israel Tax Treaty, a U.S. resident would be permitted to claim a credit for such taxes against the U.S. federal income tax imposed with respect to such sale, exchange or disposition, subject to the limitations under U.S. law applicable to foreign tax credits. The United States-Israel Tax Treaty does not relate to tax credits against U.S. state or local taxes.

------

In some instances where our shareholders may be liable for Israeli tax on the sale of their ordinary shares, the payment of the consideration may be subject to the withholding of Israeli tax at source. Shareholders may be required to demonstrate that they are exempt from tax on their capital gains in order to avoid withholding at source at the time of sale. Specifically, in transactions involving a sale of all of the shares of an Israeli resident company, in the form of a merger or otherwise, the Israel Tax Authority may require from shareholders who are not liable for Israeli tax to sign declarations in forms specified by this authority or to apply for and obtain a specific withholding tax certificate of exemption from the Israel Tax Authority to confirm their particular status as non-Israeli resident, and, in the absence of such declarations or exemptions, may require the purchaser of the shares to withhold taxes at source.

#### Taxation of Non-Israeli Shareholders on Receipt of Dividends
Non-Israeli residents (either an individual or a corporation) are generally subject to Israeli income tax on the receipt of dividends paid on our ordinary shares at the rate of 25%, unless an applicable relief is provided in a treaty between Israel and the shareholder's country of residence. With respect to a person who is a "Controlling Shareholder" at the time of receiving the dividend or on any time during the preceding 12 months, the applicable tax rate is 30%. Such dividends paid to non-Israeli residents are generally subject to Israeli withholding tax at a rate of 25% so long as the shares are registered with a Nominee Company (whether the recipient is a Controlling Shareholder or not), unless a reduced tax rate is provided under an applicable tax treaty, provided that a certificate from the Israel Tax Authority allowing for a reduced withholding tax rate is obtained in advance. However, subject to the receipt in advance of a valid certificate from the Israel Tax Authority allowing for a reduced tax rate, a distribution of dividends to non-Israeli residents is subject to withholding tax at source at a rate of 15% if the dividend is distributed from income attributed to an Approved Enterprise or generally 20% if the dividend is distributed from income attributed to a Preferred Enterprise (including Preferred Technological Enterprise based on which the Company is taxed as from 2017 onwards), unless a reduced tax rate is provided under an applicable tax treaty (subject to the receipt in advance of a valid certificate from the Israel Tax Authority allowing for a reduced tax rate). Under the United States-Israel Tax Treaty, the maximum rate of tax withheld at source in Israel on dividends paid to a holder of our ordinary shares who is a U.S. resident (for purposes of the United States-Israel Tax Treaty) is 25%. However, the maximum rate of withholding tax on dividends, not generated from an Approved Enterprise or Benefited Enterprise, that are paid to a United States corporation holding 10% or more of the outstanding voting capital throughout the tax year in which the dividend is distributed as well as during the previous tax year, is 12.5%, provided that no more than 25% of the gross income for such preceding year consists of certain types of dividends and interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a distribution of dividends to non-Israeli residents is subject to withholding tax at source at a rate of 15% if the dividend is distributed from income attributed to an Approved Enterprise or for such U.S. corporation shareholder, provided that the condition related to our gross income for the previous year (as set forth in the previous sentence) is met. The aforementioned rates under the United States-Israel Tax Treaty will not apply if the dividend income was attributed to a permanent establishment that the U.S. resident maintains in Israel. U.S. residents who are subject to Israeli withholding tax on a dividend may be entitled to a credit or deduction for United States federal income tax purposes in the amount of the taxes withheld, subject to detailed rules contained in U.S. tax legislation. We cannot assure you that in the event we declare a dividend we will designate the income out of which the dividend is paid in a manner that will reduce shareholders' tax liability.

If the dividend is attributable partly to income derived from an Approved Enterprise, Benefited Enterprise or Preferred Enterprise, and partly to other sources of income, the withholding rate will be a blended rate reflecting the relative portions of the two types of income. U.S. residents who are subject to Israeli withholding tax on a dividend may be entitled to a credit or deduction for United States federal income tax purposes in the amount of the taxes withheld, subject to detailed rules contained in U.S. tax legislation. As indicated above, application for this reduced tax rate requires appropriate documentation presented to and specific instruction received from the Israel Tax Authority.

------

A non-Israeli resident who receives dividends from which tax was duly withheld is generally exempt from the obligation to file tax returns in Israel with respect to such income, provided that (i) such income was not generated from business conducted in Israel by the taxpayer; (ii) the taxpayer has no other taxable sources of income in Israel with respect to which a tax return is required to be filed, and (iii) the taxpayer is not liable to Excess Tax (as further explained below).

Payers of dividends on our ordinary shares, including the Israeli stockbroker effectuating the transaction, or the financial institution through which the securities are held, are generally required, subject to any of the foregoing exemptions, reduced tax rates and the demonstration of foreign residence of the shareholder, to withhold tax upon the distribution of dividend at the rate of 25%, so long as the shares are registered with a nominee company.

#### Excess Tax
Individuals who are subject to tax in Israel (whether any such individual is an Israeli resident or non-Israeli resident) are also subject to an additional tax at a rate of 3% on annual income exceeding a certain threshold (NIS 663,240 for 2022) which amount is linked to the annual change in the Israeli consumer price index, including, but not limited to, dividends, interest and capital gain.

#### Estate and Gift Tax
Israeli law presently does not impose estate or gift taxes.

#### Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following is a description of certain United States federal income tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares by a U.S. Holder (as defined below). This description addresses only the United States federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders that hold such ordinary shares as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). This description does not address tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders that may be subject to special tax rules, including, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• banks, financial institutions or insurance companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies or grantor trusts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• brokers, dealers or traders in securities, commodities or currencies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• tax-exempt entities, accounts or organizations, including an "individual retirement account" or "Roth IRA"
 as defined in Section 408 or 408A of the Code, respectively;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons that receive our ordinary shares as compensation for the performance of services;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons that hold our ordinary shares as part of a "hedging," "integrated" or "conversion" transaction
 or as a position in a "straddle" for United States federal income tax purposes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to the ordinary shares being
 taken into account in an applicable financial statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• partnerships (including entities or arrangements classified as partnerships for United States federal income tax purposes) or other
 pass-through entities or arrangements, or indirect holders that hold our ordinary shares through such an entity or arrangement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• S corporations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• holders whose "functional currency" is not the U.S. dollar; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• holders that own directly, indirectly or through attribution 10.0% or more of the voting power or value of our shares.

Moreover, this description does not address the United States federal estate, gift or alternative minimum tax consequences, or any state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences, of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares.

------

This description is based on the Code, existing, proposed and temporary United States Treasury Regulations and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, in each case as in effect and available on the date hereof. All of the foregoing is subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could affect the tax consequences described below. There can be no assurances that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS), will not take a different position concerning the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares or that such a position would not be sustained. Holders should consult their tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of our ordinary shares in their particular circumstances.

For purposes of this description, a "U.S. Holder" is a beneficial owner of our ordinary shares that, for United States federal income tax purposes, is:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a citizen or individual resident of the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or
 under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, including the District of Columbia;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a trust if such trust has validly elected to be treated as a United States person for United States federal income tax purposes or
 if (1) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and (2) one or more
 United States persons have the authority to control all of the substantial decisions of such trust.

If a partnership (or any other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) holds our ordinary shares, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Such a partner or partnership should consult its tax advisor as to the particular United States federal income tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of our ordinary shares in its particular circumstance.

**You should consult your tax advisor with respect to the United States federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of our ordinary shares.**

#### Distributions
Subject to the discussion below under "Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations," the gross amount of any distribution made to you with respect to our ordinary shares before reduction for any Israeli taxes withheld therefrom, other than certain distributions, if any, of our ordinary shares distributed pro rata to all our shareholders, generally will be includible in your income as dividend income on the date on which the dividends are actually or constructively received, to the extent such distribution is paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits as determined under United States federal income tax principles. To the extent that the amount of any distribution by us exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined under United States federal income tax principles, it will be treated first as a tax-free return of your adjusted tax basis in our ordinary shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not expect to maintain calculations of our earnings and profits under United States federal income tax principles. Therefore, you should expect that the entire amount of any distribution generally will be reported as dividend income to you. Subject to applicable limitations, dividends paid to certain non-corporate U.S. Holders may qualify for the preferential rates of taxation with respect to dividends on ordinary shares if certain requirements, including stock holding period requirements, are satisfied by the recipient and we are eligible for the benefits of the United States-Israel Tax Treaty. However, such dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction generally allowed to corporate U.S. Holders.

Subject to certain conditions and limitations, Israeli tax withheld on dividends may be, at your election, either deducted from your taxable income or credited against your United States federal income tax liability. Dividends paid to you with respect to our ordinary shares will generally be treated as foreign source income, which may be relevant in calculating your foreign tax credit limitation. However, for periods in which we are a "United Stated-owned foreign corporation," a portion of dividends (generally attributable to earnings and profits from sources within the United States) paid by us may be treated as U.S. source solely for purposes of the foreign tax credit. A United States-owned foreign corporation is any foreign corporation if 50% or more of the total value or total voting power of its stock is owned, directly, indirectly or by attribution, by United States persons. We believe that we may be treated as a United States-owned foreign corporation. As a result, if 10% or more of our earnings and profits are attributable to sources within the United States, a portion of the dividends paid on our ordinary shares allocable to United States source earnings and profits may be treated as United States source, and, as such a U.S. Holder may not offset any Israeli withholding taxes withheld as a credit against United States federal income tax imposed on that portion of dividends. A U.S. Holder entitled to benefits under the United States-Israel Tax Treaty may, however, elect to treat any dividends as foreign source income for foreign tax credit purposes if the dividend income is separated from other income items for purposes of calculating the U.S. Holder's foreign tax credit. The rules governing the treatment of foreign taxes imposed on a U.S. Holder and foreign tax credits are very complex, and U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors about the impact of, and any exception available to, the special sourcing rule described in this paragraph, and the desirability of making, and the method of making, such an election.

------

#### Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Ordinary Shares
Subject to the discussion below under "Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations," you generally will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our ordinary shares equal to the difference between the amount realized on such sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and your adjusted tax basis in our ordinary shares, and such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss. The adjusted tax basis in an ordinary share generally will be equal to the cost of such ordinary share. If you are a non-corporate U.S. Holder, capital gain from the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of ordinary shares is generally eligible for a preferential rate of taxation applicable to capital gains, if your holding period for such ordinary shares exceeds one year (i.e., such gain is long-term capital gain). The deductibility of capital losses for United States federal income tax purposes is subject to limitations under the Code. Any such gain or loss that a U.S. Holder recognizes generally will be treated as U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

#### Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations
If we were to be classified as a "passive foreign investment company" (PFIC), in any taxable year, a U.S. Holder would be subject to special rules generally intended to reduce or eliminate any benefits from the deferral of U.S. federal income tax that a U.S. Holder could derive from investing in a non-U.S. company that does not distribute all of its earnings on a current basis.

A non-U.S. corporation will be classified as a PFIC for federal income tax purposes in any taxable year in which, after applying certain look-through rules with respect to the income and assets of subsidiaries, either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• at least 75% of its gross income is "passive income"; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• at least 50% of the average quarterly value of its total gross assets (which may be measured in part by the market value of our ordinary
 shares, which is subject to change) is attributable to assets that produce "passive income" or are held for the production
 of passive income.

Passive income for this purpose generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents, gains from commodities and securities transactions and the excess of gains over losses from the disposition of assets which produce passive income. There are several exceptions, however. For example, certain royalties that are considered active under the relevant Treasury regulations are not treated as passive income. If a non-U.S. corporation owns directly or indirectly at least 25% by value of the stock of another corporation, the non-U.S. corporation is treated for purposes of the PFIC tests as owning its proportionate share of the assets of the other corporation and as receiving directly its proportionate share of the other corporation's income. If we are classified as a PFIC in any year with respect to which a U.S. Holder owns our ordinary shares, we will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such U.S. Holder in all succeeding years during which the U.S. Holder owns our ordinary shares, regardless of whether we continue to meet the tests described above.

Based on our market capitalization and the nature of our income, assets and business, we believe that we should not be classified as a PFIC for the taxable year that ended December 31, 2022. However, PFIC status is determined annually and requires a factual determination that depends on, among other things, the composition of our income, assets and activities in each taxable year, and can only be made annually after the close of each taxable year. Furthermore, because the value of our gross assets is likely to be determined in part by reference to our market capitalization, a decline in the value of our ordinary shares may result in our becoming a PFIC. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for any taxable year.

Under certain attribution rules, if we are considered a PFIC, U.S. Holders may be deemed to own their proportionate share of equity in any PFIC owned by us (if any), such entities referred to as "lower-tier PFICs," and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax in the manner discussed below on (1) a distribution to us on the shares of a "lower-tier PFIC" and (2) a disposition by us of shares of a "lower-tier PFIC," both as if the holder directly held the shares of such "lower-tier PFIC."

------

If we are considered a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds (or, as discussed in the previous paragraph, is deemed to hold) its ordinary shares, such holder will be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax rules. In general, if a U.S. Holder disposes of shares of a PFIC (including an indirect disposition or a constructive disposition of shares of a "lower-tier PFIC"), gain recognized or deemed recognized by such holder would be allocated ratably over such holder's holding period for the shares. The amounts allocated to the taxable year of disposition and to years before the entity became a PFIC, if any, would be treated as ordinary income.

The amount allocated to each other taxable year would be subject to tax at the highest rate in effect for such taxable year for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, and an interest charge would be imposed on the tax attributable to such allocated amounts. Further, any distribution in respect of shares of a PFIC (or a distribution by a lower-tier PFIC to its shareholders that is deemed to be received by a U.S. Holder) in excess of 125% of the average of the annual distributions on such shares received or deemed to be received during the preceding three years or the U.S. Holder's holding period, whichever is shorter, would be subject to taxation in the manner described above. In addition, dividend distributions made to you will not qualify for the preferential rates of taxation applicable to long-term capital gains discussed above under "Distributions."

Where a company that is a PFIC meets certain reporting requirements, a U.S. Holder can avoid certain adverse PFIC consequences described above by making a "qualified electing fund" (QEF), election to be taxed currently on its proportionate share of the PFIC's ordinary income and net capital gains. However, we do not intend to prepare or provide the information that would enable U.S. Holders to make a qualified electing fund election.

If we are a PFIC and our ordinary shares are "regularly traded" on a "qualified exchange," a U.S. Holder may make a mark-to-market election with respect to our ordinary shares (but generally, not the shares of any lower-tier PFICs), which may help mitigate the adverse tax consequences resulting from our PFIC status (but generally, not that of any lower-tier PFICs). Shares will be treated as "regularly traded" in any calendar year in which more than a de minimis quantity of the ordinary shares are traded on a qualified exchange on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter (subject to the rule that trades that have as one of their principal purposes the meeting of the trading requirement are disregarded). Nasdaq is a qualified exchange for this purpose and, consequently, if our ordinary shares are regularly traded, the mark-to-market election will be available to a U.S. Holder; however, there can be no assurance that trading volumes will be sufficient to permit a mark-to-market election. In addition, because a mark-to-market election with respect to us generally does not apply to any equity interests in "lower-tier PFICs" that we own, a U.S. Holder generally will continue to be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to its indirect interest in any investments held by us that are treated as equity interests in a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If a U.S. Holder makes the mark-to-market election, for each year in which we are a PFIC, the holder will generally include as ordinary income the excess, if any, of the fair market value of ordinary shares at the end of the taxable year over their adjusted tax basis, and will be permitted an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the adjusted tax basis of our ordinary shares over their fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election). A U.S. Holder that makes a valid mark-to-market election will not include mark-to-market gain or loss in income for any taxable year that we are not classified as a PFIC (although cessation of our status as a PFIC will not terminate the mark-to-market election). Thus, if we are classified as a PFIC in a taxable year after a year in which we are not classified as a PFIC, the U.S. Holder's original election (unless revoked or terminated) continues to apply and the U.S. Holder must include any mark-to-market gain or loss in such year. If a U.S. Holder makes the election, the holder's tax basis in our ordinary shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. Any gain recognized on a sale or other disposition of our ordinary shares will be treated as ordinary income. Any losses recognized on a sale or other disposition of our ordinary shares will be treated as ordinary loss to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains for prior years. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability and consequences of making a mark-to-market election in their particular circumstances. In particular, U.S. Holders should consider carefully the impact of a mark-to-market election with respect to our ordinary shares if we have "lower-tier PFICs" for which such election is not available. Once made, the mark-to-market election cannot be revoked without the consent of the IRS unless our ordinary shares cease to be "regularly traded."

If a U.S. Holder owns ordinary shares during any year in which we are a PFIC, the U.S. Holder generally will be required to file an IRS Form 8621 (Information Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund) with respect to the Company (regardless of whether a QEF or mark-to-market election is made), generally with the U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax return for that year. If our Company were a PFIC for a given taxable year, then you should consult your tax advisor concerning your annual filing requirements.

U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding whether we are a PFIC and the potential application of the PFIC rules.

------

#### Medicare Tax
Certain U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts are subject to a 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their "net investment income," which may include all or a portion of their dividend income and net gains from the disposition of ordinary shares. Each U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate or trust is urged to consult its tax advisors regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to its income and gains in respect of its investment in our ordinary shares.

#### Backup Withholding Tax and Information Reporting Requirements
United States backup withholding tax and information reporting requirements may apply to certain payments to certain holders of stock. Information reporting generally will apply to payments of dividends on, and to proceeds from the sale or redemption of, our ordinary shares made within the United States, or by a United States payor or United States middleman, to a holder of our ordinary shares, other than an exempt recipient (including a payee that is not a United States person that provides an appropriate certification and certain other persons). A payor will be required to withhold backup withholding tax from any payments of dividends on, or the proceeds from the sale or redemption of, ordinary shares within the United States, or by a United States payor or United States middleman, to a holder, other than an exempt recipient, if such holder fails to furnish its correct taxpayer identification number or otherwise fails to comply with, or establish an exemption from, such backup withholding tax requirements. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a credit against the beneficial owner's United States federal income tax liability, if any, and any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be refunded, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

#### Foreign Asset Reporting
Certain U.S. Holders who are individuals or certain other non-corporate entities may be required to report information relating to an interest in our ordinary shares, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for shares held in accounts maintained by U.S. financial institutions) by filing IRS Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets) with their federal income tax return. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding their information reporting obligations, if any, with respect to their ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares.

**The above description is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all tax consequences relating to acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares. You should consult your tax advisor concerning the tax consequences of your particular situation.**

We are subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act that are applicable to foreign private issuers, and under those requirements file reports with the SEC. Those other reports or other information may be inspected without charge at the locations described above. As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from reporting under short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required under the Exchange Act to file annual, quarterly and current reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as United States companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. However, we will file with the SEC, within 120 days after the end of each subsequent fiscal year, or such applicable time as required by the SEC, an annual report on Form 20-F containing financial statements audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, and will submit to the SEC reports on Form 6-K containing unaudited quarterly financial information.

Our filings with the SEC are also available to the public through the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov. This site contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.

**ITEM 11.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

We are exposed to a variety of risks, including foreign currency exchange fluctuations, changes in interest rates and inflation. We regularly assess currency, interest rate and inflation risks to minimize any adverse effects on our business as a result of those factors.

#### Foreign Currency Risk
Our results of operations and cash flows are affected by fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In 2022, the majority of our revenues were denominated in U.S. dollars and the remainder in other currencies, primarily Euros and British pounds sterling. In 2022, the majority of our cost of revenues and operating expenses were denominated in U.S. dollars and NIS and the remainder in other currencies, primarily euros and British pounds sterling. Our foreign currency-denominated expenses consist primarily of personnel, travel, marketing programs and other overhead costs. Since the portion of our expenses generated in NIS and British pounds sterling is greater than our revenues in NIS and British pounds sterling, respectively, any appreciation of the NIS or the British pounds sterling relative to the U.S. dollar could adversely impact our operating loss. In addition, since the portion of our revenues generated in Euros is greater than our expenses incurred in euros, any depreciation of the Euro relative to the U.S. dollar would adversely impact our operating loss.

The following table presents information about the changes in the exchange rates of the NIS against the U.S. dollar:

| 2022 <br>| 4.0 |
| 2021 <br>| (6.2) |
| 2020 <br>| (3.6) |

---

The figures above represent the change in the average exchange rate in the given period compared to the average exchange rate in the immediately preceding period. Negative figures represent depreciation of the U.S. dollar compared to the NIS. A 10% strengthening or weakening in the value of the NIS against the U.S. dollar would have increased or decreased, respectively, our operating loss by approximately $16.0 million in 2022. We estimate that a 10% strengthening or weakening in the value of the Euro against the U.S. dollar would have decreased or increased, respectively, our operating loss by approximately $2.3 million in 2022. We estimate that a 10% strengthening or weakening in the value of the British pounds sterling against the U.S. dollar would have increased or decreased, respectively, our operating loss by approximately $1.0 million in 2022. These estimates of the impact of fluctuations in currency exchange rates on our historic results of operations may be different from the impact of fluctuations in exchange rates on our future results of operations since the mix of currencies comprising our revenues and expenses may change.

For purposes of our consolidated financial statements, monetary assets and liabilities in local currency are translated at the rate of exchange to the U.S. dollar on the balance sheet date and local currency revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction or the average exchange rate during the reporting period.

In addition, we have a significant NIS linked liability related to our operational leases in Israel.

To protect against the increase in value of forecasted foreign currency cash flow resulting from expenses paid in NIS during the year, we have instituted a foreign currency cash flow hedging program. We hedge portions of the anticipated payroll of our Israeli employees in NIS for a period of one to 12 months with forward contracts and other derivative instruments. In addition, from time to time we enter into foreign exchange forward transactions to economically hedge certain net asset balances in Euros, British pounds sterling and Canadian dollars. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

#### Interest Rate Risk
The primary objectives of our investment activities are to preserve principal, support liquidity requirements, and maximize income without significantly increasing risk. Our investments are subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates, which may affect our interest income and fair market value of our investments.

To minimize this risk, we maintain our portfolio of cash, cash equivalents and short and long-term investments in a variety of securities, including money market funds, U.S. government and agency securities, and corporate debt securities. We do not believe that a 10% increase or decrease in interest rates would have a material impact on our operating results or cash flows.

#### Other Market Risks
We do not believe that we have any material exposure to inflationary risks.

In November 2019, we issued $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024. We carry these instruments at face value less unamortized discount and unamortized issuance costs on our consolidated balance sheets. As these instruments have no interest rate, we have no financial or economic interest exposure associated with changes in interest rates. However, the fair value of these instruments fluctuates when interest rates change, and additionally when the market price of our common stock fluctuates. The change in fair value does not impact our financial position, cash flows or result of operation due to the fixed nature of the debt obligation.

**ITEM 15.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

#### Disclosure controls and procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2022, have concluded that, based on such evaluation, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms.

#### Management annual report on internal control over financial reporting and attestation report of the registered public accounting firm
Our management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions
 of our assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
 with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations
 of our management and directors; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets
 that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 based on the criteria established in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013)" published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022.

Our independent registered public accounting firm, Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, has audited the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 20-F, and as part of its audit, has issued its audit report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. The report of Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer is included with our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report and is incorporated herein by reference**.**

#### Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this annual report that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**ITEM 16A.** &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT**

Our board of directors has determined that each of Ron Gutler, Kim Perdikou and François Auque is an audit committee financial expert as defined by the SEC rules, has the requisite financial experience as defined by Nasdaq corporate governance rules and is "independent" as such term is defined in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act.

------

**ITEM 16B.** &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **CODE OF ETHICS**

We have adopted a corporate Code of Conduct applicable to our executive officers, directors and all other employees. This Code of Conduct is made available to every employee of CyberArk Software Ltd. and all of its subsidiaries and is also available to investors and members of the public on our website at http://investors.cyberark.com or by contacting our investor relations department. The Code of Conduct includes, in compliance with Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our Code of Ethics, which is applicable to our chief executive officer, our chief financial officer and all other senior financial officers. Pursuant to Item 16B of Form 20-F, if a waiver or amendment of the Code of Conduct (including the Code of Ethics) applies to our chief executive officer, chief financial officer or other persons performing similar functions and relates to standards promoting any of the values described in Item 16B(b) of Form 20-F, we will disclose such waiver or amendment on our website within five business days following the date of amendment or waiver in accordance with the requirements of Instruction 4 to such Item 16B. We granted no waivers under our code in 2022.

**ITEM 16C.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES**

#### Principal Accountant Fees and Services

| Total&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  | $1316 | $1711 |

---

"Audit fees" include fees for the audit of our annual financial statements. This category also includes services that generally the independent accountant provides, such as consents and assistance with and review of documents filed with the SEC.

"Audit-related fees" include fees for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit and are not reported under audit fees. These fees primarily include accounting consultations regarding the accounting treatment of matters that occur in the regular course of business, implications of new accounting pronouncements, acquisitions and other accounting issues that occur from time to time.

"Tax fees" include fees for professional services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm for tax compliance and tax advice on actual or contemplated transactions.

"All other fees" include fees for services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm with respect to government incentives and other matters.

Our audit committee has adopted a pre-approval policy for the engagement of our independent accountant to perform certain audit and non-audit services. Pursuant to this policy, which is designed to assure that such engagements do not impair the independence of our auditors, the audit committee pre-approves each type of audit, audit-related, tax and other permitted service. The audit committee has delegated the pre-approval authority with respect to audit, audit-related, tax and permitted non-audit services up to a maximum of $25,000 to its chairperson and may in the future delegate such authority to one or more additional members of the audit committee, provided that all decisions by that member to pre-approve any such services must be subsequently reported, for informational purposes only, to the full audit committee. All audit and non-audit services provided by our auditors in 2021 and 2022 were approved in accordance with our policy.

**ITEM 16G.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **CORPORATE GOVERNANCE**

As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to comply with Israeli corporate governance practices instead of certain of Nasdaq Listing Rules, provided that we disclose those Nasdaq Listing Rules with which we do not comply and the equivalent Israeli requirements that we follow instead. We currently rely on this "foreign private issuer exemption" as follows:

*Quorum requirement.* As permitted under the Companies Law, pursuant to our articles of association, the quorum required for an ordinary meeting of shareholders consists of at least two shareholders present in person or by proxy who hold or represent between them at least 25% of the voting power of our shares (and, with respect to an adjourned meeting, generally one or more shareholders who hold or represent any number of shares), instead of 33 1/3% of the issued share capital provided under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5260(c).

*Distribution of Annual and Interim Reports*. Unlike Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(d), which requires listed issuers to make annual reports on Form 20-F available to shareholders in one of a number of specific manners, Israeli law does not require us to distribute such reports directly to shareholders, and the generally accepted business practice in Israel is not to distribute such reports to shareholders but to make such reports available through a public website. In addition, we will make our annual report on Form 20-F containing audited financial statements available to our shareholders at our offices (in addition to a public website). Otherwise, we comply with Nasdaq corporate governance rules requiring that listed companies have a majority of independent directors and maintain audit, compensation and nominating committees composed entirely of independent directors.

#### Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of CyberArk Software Ltd.

#### Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CyberArk Software Ltd. (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2021 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated March 2, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

#### Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

#### Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating critical audit matters below, providing a separate opinion on critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

|  | ***Revenue recognition***<br>|
| *Description of the Matter* | As explained in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company generates revenues from providing the rights to access its SaaS solutions and licensing the rights to use its software products, maintenance and professional services. The Company enters into contracts with customers that include combinations of products and services, which are generally distinct and recorded as separate performance obligations. The transaction price is then allocated to the distinct performance obligations based on a relative standalone selling price basis and revenue is recognized when control of the distinct performance obligation is transferred to the customer.<br>Auditing the Company's recognition of revenue involved a high degree of auditor judgment due to the effort to evaluate 1) the identification and determination of whether products and services, such as software licenses and related services, are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together and 2) the determination of stand-alone selling prices for each distinct performance obligation.<br>|
| *How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit* | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls related to the identification of distinct performance obligations, and the determination of stand-alone selling prices for each distinct performance obligation.<br>Our audit procedures also included, among others, selecting a sample of customer contracts and reading contract source documents for each selection, including the executed contract and purchase order and evaluating the appropriateness of management's application of significant accounting policies on the contracts. We tested management's identification of significant terms for completeness, including the identification and determination of distinct performance obligations. We also evaluated the reasonableness of management's estimate of stand-alone selling prices for products and services and tested the mathematical accuracy of management's calculations of revenue. Finally, we assessed the appropriateness of the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. |

#### Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of CyberArk Software Ltd.

#### Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes and our report dated March 2, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

#### Basis for Opinion
The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

#### Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

**NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such management estimates and assumptions are related, but not limited to contingent liabilities, income tax uncertainties, deferred taxes, share-based compensation, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, fair value of the convertible senior notes liability, as well as the determination of standalone selling prices in revenue transactions with multiple performance obligations and the estimated period of benefit for deferred contract costs. The Company's management believes that the estimates, judgment and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.Principles of consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of CyberArk Software Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c.Financial statements in U.S. dollars:

A majority of the Company's revenues are generated in U.S. dollars. In addition, the equity investments were in U.S. dollars and a substantial portion of the Company's costs are incurred in U.S. dollars. The Company's management believes that the U.S. dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company and each of its subsidiaries operates. Thus, the functional and reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar.

Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are re-measured into U.S. dollars in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") No. 830 "Foreign Currency Matters." All transaction gains and losses of the re-measured monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the statement of comprehensive loss as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d.Cash and cash equivalents:

Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid deposits that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less, at the date acquired.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e.Short-term bank deposits:

Short-term bank deposits are deposits with maturities of greater than three months and remaining maturities of less than one year. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, the Company's bank deposits are denominated in U.S. dollars and New Israeli Shekels ("NIS") and bear yearly interest at weighted average rates of 0.72% and 5.11%, respectively. Short-term bank deposits are presented at their cost, including accrued interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f.Investments in marketable securities:

The Company accounts for investments in marketable debt securities in accordance with ASC No. 320, "Investments - Debt Securities". The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation at each balance sheet date. The Company classifies all of its marketable securities as available-for-sale as the Company may sell these securities at any time for use in its current operations or for other purposes, even prior to maturity. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders' equity.

The Company periodically evaluates its available-for-sale debt securities for impairment in accordance with ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. If the amortized cost of an individual security exceeds its fair value, the Company considers its intent to sell the security or whether it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized basis. If either of these criteria are met, the Company writes down the security to its fair value and records the impairment charge in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. If neither of these criteria are met, the Company assess' whether credit loss exists. In making this assessment, the Company considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss may exist, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses will be recorded, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any additional impairment not recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income

During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, no credit loss impairments have been identified.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g.Property and equipment:

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets at the following annual rates:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | % |
| Computers, software and related equipment | 20 - 33 |
| Office furniture and equipment | 15 - 20 |
| Leasehold improvements | Over the shorter of the related lease period or the life of the asset |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;h.Long-lived assets:

The long-lived assets of the Company are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC No. 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment", whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets.

If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, no impairment losses have been recognized.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i.Business combination:

The Company accounts for its business acquisitions in accordance with ASC No. 805, "Business Combinations." While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the business combination date, these estimates and assumptions are subject to refinement. The total purchase price allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired is assigned based on the fair values as of the date of the acquisition. During the measurement period, which does not exceed one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Goodwill generated from the business combinations is primarily attributable to synergies between the Company and acquired companies` respective products and services. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;j.Goodwill and other intangible assets:

Goodwill and certain other purchased intangible assets have been recorded in the Company's financial statements as a result of acquisitions. Goodwill represents excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is subject to an impairment test.

ASC No. 350, "Intangible-Goodwill and other" requires goodwill to be tested for impairment at least annually and, in certain circumstances, between annual tests. The accounting guidance gives the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The qualitative assessment considers events and circumstances that might indicate that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount. If it is determined, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative test is performed. The Company operates as one reporting unit. The Company elects to perform an annual impairment test of goodwill as of October 1 of each year, or more frequently if impairment indicators are present.

For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, no impairment losses were identified.

Purchased intangible assets with finite lives are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, which range from two to twelve years. Intangible assets, consisting primarily of technology and customer relationships, are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis or in proportion to their economic benefits realized.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;k.Derivative instruments:

ASC No. 815, "Derivative and Hedging," requires companies to recognize all of their derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value.

For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.

In accordance with ASU 2017-12, "Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities", gains and losses on the derivatives instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same accounting period in which the designated forecasted transaction or hedged item affects earnings.

**NOTE 2:-**SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

To hedge against the risk of changes in cash flows resulting from foreign currency salary payments during the year, the Company instituted a foreign currency cash flow hedging program. The Company hedges portions of its forecasted expenses denominated in NIS. These forward and option contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, as defined by ASC No. 815, and are all effective, as their critical terms match underlying transactions being hedged.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, the amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) from the Company's currency forward and option transactions was $1,086, net of tax of $148, and $(3,138), net of tax of $(428), respectively.

As of December 31, 2022, the notional amounts of foreign exchange forward contracts into which the Company entered were $96,246. The foreign exchange forward contracts will expire by December 2023. The fair value of derivative instruments assets balances as of December 31, 2021 and 2022, totaled $1,318 and $49, respectively. The fair value of derivative instruments liabilities balances as of December 31, 2021 and 2022, totaled $86 and $3,616, respectively.

The following table presents gains (losses) reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to the statements of comprehensive loss per line item:

**NOTE 2:-**SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

In addition to the derivatives that are designated as hedges as discussed above, the Company enters into certain foreign exchange forward transactions and holds foreign exchange deposits to economically hedge certain net asset balances in Euros, British Pounds Sterling, Canadian Dollars and NIS. Gains and losses related to such derivative instruments are recorded in financial income (expense), net. As of December 31, 2022, with respect to these transactions, the notional amounts of foreign exchange forward contracts into which the Company entered were $50,090. The foreign exchange forward contracts will expire by July 2023. The fair value of derivative instruments assets balances as of December 31, 2021 and 2022, totaled $751 and $72, respectively. The fair value of derivative instruments liabilities balances as of December 31, 2021 and 2022 totaled $36 and $1,388, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the Company recorded financial income (expense), net from hedging transactions of $(1,317), $2,099, and $2,281, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;l.Severance pay:

The Israeli Severance Pay Law, 1963 ("Severance Pay Law"), specifies that employees are entitled to severance payment, following the termination of their employment. Under the Severance Pay Law, the severance payment is calculated as one month salary for each year of employment, or a portion thereof.

The majority of the Company's liability for severance pay is covered by the provisions of Section 14 of the Severance Pay Law ("Section 14"). Under Section 14, employees are entitled to monthly deposits, at a rate of 8.33% of their monthly salary, made on behalf of the employee with insurance companies. Payments in accordance with Section 14 release the Company from any future severance payments in respect of those employees.

As a result, the Company does not recognize any liability for severance pay due to these employees and the deposits under Section 14 are not recorded as an asset in the Company's balance sheet.

For the Company's employees in Israel who are not subject to Section 14, the Company calculated the liability for severance pay pursuant to the Severance Pay Law based on the most recent salary of these employees multiplied by the number of years of employment as of the balance sheet date. The Company's liability for these employees is fully provided for via monthly deposits with severance pay funds, insurance policies and accruals. The value of these deposits recorded as an asset on the Company's balance sheet under other long-term assets as of December 31, 2021 and 2022 is $5,227 and $4,881, respectively. The amount of accrued severance payable recorded as a liability on the Company's balance sheet under long-term liabilities as of December 31, 2021 and 2022 is $8,271 and $7,769, respectively.

Severance expenses for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, amounted to $4,813, $6,368 and $7,836, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;m.U.S. defined contribution plan:

The U.S. subsidiaries have a 401(k) defined contribution plan covering certain full time and part time employees in the U.S. who meet certain eligibility requirements, excluding leased employees and contractors. All eligible employees may elect to contribute up to an annual maximum of 100% of their annual compensation to the plan through salary deferrals, subject to Internal Revenue Service limits, but not greater than $20.5 per year (for certain employees over 50 years of age the maximum contribution is $27 per year).

The U.S. subsidiaries match amounts equal to 100% of the first 3% of the employee's compensation that they contribute to the defined contribution plan and 50% of the next 2% of their compensation that they contribute to the defined contribution plan with a limit of $12.2 per year per employee. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the U.S. subsidiary recorded expenses for matching contributions of $3,533, $4,386 and $5,629, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;n.Convertible senior notes:

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, the Company accounted for its convertible senior notes in accordance with ASC 470-20 "Debt with Conversion and Other Options". The Company allocated the principal amount of the convertible senior notes between its liability and equity component. The liability component at issuance is recognized at fair value, based on the fair value of a similar instrument of similar credit rating and maturity that does not have a conversion feature. The equity component is based on the excess of the principal amount of the convertible senior notes over the fair value of the liability component and is recorded in additional paid-in capital. The equity component, net of issuance costs and deferred tax effects is presented within additional paid-in-capital and is not remeasured. The Company allocated the total issuance costs incurred to the liability and equity components of the convertible senior notes based on the same proportions as the proceeds from the notes.

**U.S. dollars in thousands (except share and per share data and unless otherwise indicated)**

**NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)**

Relating to the convertible senior notes issued in 2019, issuance costs attributable to the liability and equity components were $12.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Issuance costs attributable to the liability are netted against the principal balance and are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the contractual term of the notes. The effective interest rate of the liability component of the notes is 3.50%. Issuance costs attributable to the equity component are netted with the equity component in additional paid-in capital.

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06, "Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for convertible senior notes (see Note 2ac).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o.Revenue recognition:

The Company substantially generates revenues from providing the right to access its SaaS solutions and licensing the rights to use its software products, maintenance and professional services. Subscription revenues include Software as a Service ("SaaS") offerings and on-premises subscription ("Self-hosted subscription"). The Company sells its products through its direct sales force and indirectly through resellers. Payment is typically due within 30 to 90 calendar days of the invoice date.

The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with ASC No. 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASC No. 606"). As such, the Company identifies a contract with a customer, identifies the performance obligations in the contract, determines the transaction price, allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract and recognizes revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company enters into contracts that can include combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations and may include an option to provide additional products or services. The perpetual license and self-hosted subscription are distinct as the customer can derive the economic benefit of the software without any professional services, updates or technical support.

The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer. The Company does not grant a right of return to its customers.

In instances of contracts where revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company generally determined that those contracts do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of the invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing the Company's products and services, not to receive or provide financing. The Company uses the practical expedient and does not assess the existence of a significant financing component when the difference between payment and revenue recognition is a year or less.

**NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)**

The Company records unbilled receivables from contracts when the revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, $12,517 and $10,318 short-term unbilled receivables are included in trade receivables, respectively, and $1,873 and $928 long-term unbilled receivables are included in other long-term assets, respectively.

The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. For maintenance, the Company determines the standalone selling price based on the price at which the Company separately sells a renewal contract. For professional services, the Company determines the standalone selling prices based on the prices at which the Company separately sells those services. For SaaS, self-hosted subscription and perpetual license products, the Company determines the standalone selling prices by taking into account available information such as historical selling prices, contract value, geographic location, and the Company's price list and discount policy.

Perpetual license and the license portion of self-hosted subscription are recognized at the point of time when the license is made available for download by the customer. Maintenance revenue related to perpetual license contracts and the maintenance component of the self-hosted subscription offering as well as SaaS revenues are recognized ratably, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related contract, which is generally one to three years. Professional services revenues substantially are recognized as the services are performed.

The following table presents the Company's revenue by category:

Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and include unearned amounts received under maintenance and support contracts and professional services that do not meet the revenue recognition criteria as of the balance sheet date. Contract liabilities also include unearned, invoiced amounts in respect of SaaS and self-hosted subscription contracts whereby there is an unconditional right for the consideration. Deferred revenues are recognized as (or when) the Company performs under the contract. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized $221,134 that were included in the deferred revenues balance as of December 31, 2021.

Remaining Performance Obligations:

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents non-cancelable contracts that have not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenues and amounts not yet received that will be recognized as revenue in future periods.

The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $713 million as of December 31, 2022, out of which, the Company expects to recognize approximately 60% in 2023 and the remainder thereafter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;p.Deferred contract costs:

The Company pays sales commissions primarily to sales and certain management personnel based on their attainment of certain predetermined sales goals. Sales commissions are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Sales commissions paid for initial contracts, which are not commensurate with sales commissions paid for renewal contracts, are capitalized and amortized over an expected period of benefit. Based on its technology, customer contracts and other factors, the Company has determined the expected period of benefit to be approximately five years. Sales commissions for initial contracts, which are commensurate with sales commissions paid for renewal contracts, are capitalized and amortized correspondingly to the recognized revenue of the related initial contracts. Sales commissions for renewal contracts are capitalized and amortized over the related contractual renewal period and aligned with the revenue recognized from these contracts. Amortization expense of these costs are substantially included in sales and marketing expenses.

For the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, the amortization of deferred contract costs was $43,236 and $45,254, respectively.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, the Company presented deferred contract costs from contracts which are for periods of less than 12 months of $801 and $1,713 in prepaid expenses and other current assets, respectively, and deferred contract costs in respect of contracts which are greater than 12 months of $96,619 and $138,907 in other long-term assets, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;q.Trade Receivable and Allowances:

Trade receivables include original invoiced amounts less an allowance for any potential uncollectible amounts and less invoiced amounts from maintenance and professional services contracts which haven't been recognized yet. Trade receivables also include unbilled receivables amounts that will be paid in the following year. The Company makes estimates of expected credit losses for the allowance for doubtful accounts based upon its assessment of various factors, including historical experience, the age of the trade receivable balances, credit quality of its customers, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect its ability to collect from customers. The estimated credit loss allowance is recorded as general and administrative expenses on the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;r.Leases:

In accordance with (ASU) No. 2016-02, "Leases" (Topic 842)", the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease and the classification of that lease at inception based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether the Company obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether the Company has a right to direct the use of the asset. The Company elected to not recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use ("ROU") asset for leases with a term of twelve months or less. The Company also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for its leases.

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make minimum lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are initially measured at amounts, which represents the discounted present value of the lease payments over the lease, plus any initial direct costs incurred. The lease liability is initially measured at lease commencement date based on the discounted present value of minimum lease payments over the lease term. The implicit rate within the operating leases is generally not determinable, therefore the Company uses its Incremental Borrowing Rate ("IBR") based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company's IBR is estimated to approximate the interest rate for collateralized borrowing with similar terms and payments and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. Certain leases include options to extend or terminate the lease. An option to extend the lease is considered in connection with determining the ROU asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. An option to terminate is considered unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will not exercise the option.

Payments under the Company's lease arrangements are primarily fixed, however, certain lease agreements contain variable payments, which are expensed as incurred and not included in the operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities. Variable lease payments are primarily comprised of payments affected by common area maintenance and utility charges.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;s.Research and development costs:

Research and development costs are charged to the statements of comprehensive loss as incurred except to the extent that such costs are associated with internal-use software that qualifies for capitalization.

ASC No. 985-20, "Software - Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed," requires capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility. Based on the Company's product development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model. Costs incurred by the Company between completion of the working model and the point at which the product is ready for general release, have been insignificant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;t.Internal use software and website development cost:

The Company capitalizes qualifying costs associated with the development of its website and incurred during the application development stage related to software developed for internal-use in accordance with ASC No. 350-40 "Internal-use Software" ("ASC No. 350-40"). These costs are capitalized based on qualifying criteria. Such costs are amortized over the software's estimated life of three to five years. Costs incurred to develop software applications consist of (a) certain external direct costs of materials and services incurred in developing or obtaining internal-use computer software, and (b) payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with, and who devote time to, the development or implementation of the software. Capitalized internal-use software and website costs are included in property and equipment, net in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company also capitalizes implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The capitalized implementation costs and their related amortization and cash flows are presented on the financial statements in consistent with the prepaid amounts and fees related to the associated cloud computing arrangement. Capitalized implementation costs are amortized over the term of the arrangement, beginning when the module or component of the cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract is ready for its intended use.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;u. Advertising and marketing expenses:

Advertising and marketing expenses consist primarily of marketing campaigns and tradeshows. Advertising and marketing expenses are charged to the statement of comprehensive loss, as incurred. Advertising and marketing expenses for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, amounted to $22,082, $27,504 and $34,438, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;v.Share-based compensation:

The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC No. 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" ("ASC No. 718"). ASC No. 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the award is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award, on a straight-line basis when the only condition to vesting is continued service. If vesting is subject to a performance condition, recognition is based on the implicit service period of the award. Expense for awards with performance conditions is estimated and adjusted on a quarterly basis based upon the assessment of the probability that the performance condition will be met and is recognized on a graded vesting basis.

The Company has selected the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model as the most appropriate fair value method for its option awards and Employee Share Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). The fair value of Restricted Share Units ("RSUs ") and Performance Share Units ("PSUs ") without market conditions, is based on the closing market value of the underlying shares at the date of grant. For PSUs subject to market conditions, the Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model, which utilizes multiple inputs to estimate payout level and the probability that market conditions will be achieved.

The Black-Scholes-Merton and Monte Carlo models require a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are the expected share price volatility and the expected option term. The Company recognizes forfeitures of equity-based awards as they occur. For graded vesting awards subject to service conditions, the Company recognizes compensation cost using the straight-line attribution method.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;w.Income taxes:

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC No. 740-10, "Income Taxes" ("ASC No. 740-10"). ASC No. 740-10 prescribes the use of the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company established reserves for uncertain tax positions based on the evaluation of whether or not the Company's uncertain tax position is "more likely than not" to be sustained upon examination based on its technical merits. The Company records interest and penalties pertaining to its uncertain tax positions in the financial statements as income tax expense.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;x.Basic and diluted net loss per share:

Basic net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss for each reporting period by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each year. Diluted net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss for each reporting period by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, plus dilutive potential ordinary shares considered outstanding during the period, in accordance with ASC No. 260-10 "Earnings Per Share". The Company experienced a loss in the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022; hence all potentially dilutive ordinary shares were excluded due to their anti-dilutive effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;y.Comprehensive income (loss):

The Company accounts for comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with ASC No. 220, "Comprehensive Income." This statement establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income (loss) generally represents all changes in shareholders' equity during the period, except changes resulting from investments by, or distributions to, shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;z.Concentration of credit risks:

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, marketable securities, trade receivables, severance pay funds and derivative instruments.

The majority of the Company's cash and cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits are invested with major banks in Israel and the United States. Such investments in the United States are in excess of insured limits and are not insured in other jurisdictions. Generally, these investments may be redeemed upon demand and the Company believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company's cash deposits are financially sound and, accordingly, bear minimal risk.

The Company's marketable securities consist of investments, which are highly rated by credit agencies, in government, corporate and government sponsored enterprises debentures. The Company's investment policy limits the amount that the Company may invest in any one type of investment or issuer, in order to reduce credit risk concentrations.

The trade receivables of the Company are mainly derived from sales to a diverse set of customers located primarily in the United States, Europe and Asia. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and, to date, has not experienced any significant losses.

The Company has entered into forward contracts with major banks in Israel to protect against the risk of changes in exchange rates. The derivative instruments hedge a portion of the Company's non-dollar currency exposure.

aa.Fair value of financial instruments:

The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by the Company using available market information and valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in estimating fair values. Accordingly, the estimates may not be indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of their financial instruments:

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, trade receivables, prepaid expenses and other long-term and current assets, trade payables, employees and payroll accruals and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The Company applies ASC No. 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC No. 820"), with respect to fair value measurements of all financial assets and liabilities.

The fair value of foreign currency contracts (used for hedging purposes) is estimated by obtaining current quotes from banks and third-party valuations.

Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Level 1 -  | Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that can be accessed at the measurement date. |
| Level 2 -  | Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. |
| Level 3 -  | Inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company's own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. The inputs require significant management judgment or estimation. |

---

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

**NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)**

In accordance with ASC No. 820, the Company measures its foreign currency derivative instruments, at fair value using the market approach valuation technique. Foreign currency derivative contracts as detailed in Note 2k are classified within Level 2 value hierarchy, as the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments.

As of December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the Company's convertible senior notes, net as further described in Note 11, was determined based on the closing quoted price of the convertible senior note, net as of the last day of trading for the period, and is considered Level 2 measurement.

ab.Investments in privately held companies:

The Company holds equity investments, in which it does not have control or significant influence, in private companies without readily determinable fair values. These investments are measured using the measurement alternative, which is cost, less any impairment, adjusted for changes in fair value are resulted from observable transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. The investments are reviewed periodically to determine if impairments or adjustments to the fair value are needed. Adjustments and impairments are recorded in financial income, net on the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

The investments in privately held companies are included in Other long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

ac.Recently adopted accounting standards:

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): "Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes". The new standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the standard beginning January 1, 2021. The standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ("ASU") 2020-06, "Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (subtopic 815-40)," The new standard reduces the number of accounting models in ASC 470-20 that require separate accounting for non-bifurcated embedded conversion features. As a result, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. By removing those separation models, the effective interest rate of convertible debt instruments will be closer to the coupon interest rate. Further, the diluted net loss per share calculation for convertible instruments will require the Company to use the if-converted method. The treasury stock method should no longer be used to calculate diluted net loss per share for convertible instruments.

**NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)**

The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective method. As a result, the convertible notes' previously recognized equity component was combined with the liability component and the convertible notes will be accounted for as a single unit of account. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 resulted in an increase of retained earnings in an amount of $26,602, a decrease of additional paid-in capital in an amount of $65,932, an increase of convertible senior notes, net, in an amount of $46,270 and a decrease of deferred tax liabilities, net, in an amount of $6,940.

The impact of adoption on the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 was a decrease in financial expenses by $14,812. This had the effect of decreasing basic and diluted net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2022 by $0.36.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, "Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosure by Business Entities about Government Assistance." The new standard improves the transparency of government assistance received by most business entities by requiring the disclosure of: (1) the types of government assistance received; (2) the accounting for such assistance; and (3) the effect of the assistance on a business entity's financial statements. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements and disclosures.

ad.Recently issued accounting standards:

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers". The standard requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if it had originated the contracts. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. This ASU is currently not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ae.Reclassification:

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Also, beginning in the first quarter of 2021, the Company revised the presentation of its lines of revenue and cost of revenue. The Company believes that the revised categories for revenue and cost of revenue as presented on the income statement align with how management evaluates the business and the shift toward recurring revenues. The new revenue lines consist of (a) Subscription revenue, which represents SaaS and self-hosted subscription revenue including the license portion of self-hosted subscription revenue and the ratable maintenance component of self-hosted subscription revenue, (b) Perpetual license revenue and (c) Maintenance and professional services revenue, which represents the maintenance component related to perpetual license sales and professional services revenue.

As of December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the Company's convertible senior notes, as further described in Note 11, was $599.7 million. The fair value was determined based on the closing quoted price of the convertible senior notes as of the last day of trading for the period, and is considered Level 2 measurement. The fair value of the convertible senior notes is primarily affected by the trading price of the Company`s common stock and market interest rates.

**NOTE 11:-CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES, NET**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.Convertible senior notes, net:

In November 2019, the Company issued $500 million aggregate principal amount, 0% coupon rate, of convertible senior notes due 2024 and an additional $75 million aggregate principal amount of such notes pursuant to the exercise in full of the over-allotment option of the initial purchasers (collectively, "Convertible Notes").

The Convertible Notes are convertible based upon an initial conversion rate of 6.3478 of the Company's ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.01 per share per $1 principal amount of Convertible Notes (equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $157.53 per ordinary share). The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events. The Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company.

The Convertible Notes will mature on November 15, 2024 (the "Maturity Date"), unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Prior to May 15, 2024, a holder may convert all or a portion of its Convertible Notes only under the following circumstances:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) During any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2020 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company's ordinary shares for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;

On or after May 15, 2024 until the close of business on the third scheduled trading day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, a holder may convert its Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

Upon conversion, the Company can pay or deliver cash, ordinary shares or a combination of cash and ordinary shares, at the Company's election.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.The Company may not redeem the notes prior to November 15, 2022, except in the event of certain tax law changes. The Company may, at any time and from time to time, redeem for cash all or any portion of the notes, at the Company's option, on or after November 15, 2022, if the last reported sale price of the Company`s ordinary shares has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which it delivers notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed.

Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change as defined in the Indenture, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Convertible Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased (plus accrued and unpaid special interest payable under certain circumstances set forth in the terms of the Convertible Notes (if any) to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date). In addition, in connection with a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), or following the Company's delivery of a notice of redemption, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its notes in connection with such a corporate event or redemption, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c.Capped Call Transactions:

In connection with the pricing of the Convertible Notes and the exercise by the Initial Purchasers of the over-allotment option, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions ("Capped Call Transactions") with certain financial institutions ("Option Counterparties"). The Capped Call Transactions cover, collectively, the number of the Company's ordinary shares underlying the Convertible Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Convertible Notes.

The Capped Call Transactions have an initial strike price of approximately $157.53 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which corresponds to the approximate initial conversion price of the Convertible Notes.

The cap price of the Capped Call Transactions is initially $229.14 per share and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions. The Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions, in each case, entered into by the Company with the Option Counterparties, and are not part of the terms of the Convertible Notes and will not change the holders' rights under the Convertible Notes.

The ESPP enables eligible employees and eligible employees of designated subsidiaries to elect to have payroll deductions made during a six-month offering period in an amount not exceeding 15% of the gross base compensation which the employees receive. The total number of ordinary shares initially reserved under the ESPP as of January 1, 2021 was 125,000 shares ("the ESPP Share Pool"). In connection with establishing the ESPP, the Company correspondingly reduced the number of shares available under the Company's 2014 share incentive plan (the "2014 Plan") by 125,000. On January 1 of each year between 2022 and 2026 the ESPP Share Pool will be increased by a number of ordinary shares equal to the lowest of (i) 1,000,000 shares, (ii) 1% of the Company's outstanding shares on December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year, and (iii) a lesser number of shares determined by the Company's board of directors. As of December 31, 2022, 6,898 ordinary shares were reserved for issuance under the ESPP. On January 1, 2023, the aggregate number of ordinary shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP was increased by 200,000 shares. The applicable purchase price will be no less than 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the Company's ordinary shares on the first day or the last day of the purchase period.

**NOTE 13:-INCOME TAXES (Cont.)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f.Net operating loss carry-forwards:

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had net operating losses substantially derived from excess tax benefits from share-based payments and capital tax losses, totaling $132,285 and $436, respectively, out of which $119,657 and none of the losses, respectively, were federal net operating losses attributed to the U.S. subsidiary. The rest were attributed to Israel and can be carried forward indefinitely. Out of these federal net operating losses attributed to the U.S. subsidiary, $21,727 are limited to a carryforward period of up to 20-years. The remaining $97,930 can be carried forward indefinitely, but are subject to the 80% taxable income limitation upon utilization. Utilization of some of these U.S. net operating losses are subject to annual limitation due to the "change in ownership" provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses before utilization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g.Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959:

As of December 31, 2022, approximately $14,452 was derived from tax exempt profits earned by the Company's "Approved Enterprises" and "Beneficiary Enterprise". The Company and its Board of Directors have determined that such tax-exempt income will not be distributed as dividends and intends to reinvest the amount of its tax-exempt income earned by the Company. Accordingly, no provision for deferred income taxes has been provided on income attributable to the Company's "Approved Enterprises" and "Beneficiary Enterprises" as such income is essentially permanently reinvested.

If the Company's retained tax-exempt income is distributed, the income would be taxed at the applicable corporate tax rate as if it had not elected the alternative tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments ("Investment Law") and an income tax liability of up to $3,548 would be incurred as of December 31, 2022.

In December 2016, the Israeli Knesset passed Amendment 73 to the Investment Law which included a number of changes to the Investment Law regimes through regulations approved on May 1, 2017 and that have come into effect from January 1, 2017.

Applicable benefits under the new regime include:

-Introduction of a benefit regime for "Preferred Technology Enterprises" ("PTE") granting a 12% tax rate in central Israel – on qualified income deriving from Benefited Intellectual Property, subject to a number of conditions being fulfilled, including a minimal amount or ratio of annual R&D expenditure and R&D employees, as well as having at least 25% of annual income derived from exports to large markets.

-A 12% capital gains tax rate on the sale of a preferred intangible asset to a foreign affiliated enterprise, provided that the asset was initially purchased from a foreign resident at an amount of NIS 200 million or more.

**NOTE 13:-INCOME TAXES (Cont.)**

-A withholding tax rate of 20% for dividends paid from PTE income (with an exemption from such withholding tax applying to dividends paid to an Israeli company). Such rate may be reduced to 4% on dividends paid to a foreign resident company, subject to certain conditions regarding percentage of foreign ownership of the distributing entity.

The Company adopted the PTE since 2017 and believes it is generally eligible for its benefits.

In addition the Company received a comprehensive ruling from the Israeli tax authorities which approves the PTE's benefits.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;h.Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxation), 1969:

Management believes that the Company currently qualifies as an "industrial company" under the above law and as such, is entitled to certain tax benefits including accelerated depreciation, deduction of public offering expenses in three equal annual installments and amortization of other intangible property rights for tax purposes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;j. Tax assessments:

As of December 31, 2022, the Company has reached a corporate tax assessment agreement with the Israeli Tax Authorities in relation to tax years through 2020, as reflected below in the unrecognized tax benefits schedule.

As of that date, the U.K. subsidiary's tax years until December 31, 2020 are subject to statutes of limitation effective in the U.K.

For the U.S. subsidiary's tax years ended December 31, 2019 through 2022, the statute of limitations has not yet expired.

| Increase related to current year tax positions | 1719 | 643 | 859 |
| Closing balance | $4633 | $3870 | $2805 |

---

During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the Company recorded $21, $(21) and $(87), respectively, for interest expense (income) related to uncertain tax positions. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, accrued interest was $112 and $25, respectively.

Although the Company believes that it has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to tax audits and settlement, there is no assurance that the final tax outcome of its tax audits will not be different from that which is reflected in the Company's income tax provisions. Such differences could have a material effect on the Company's income tax provision, cash flow from operating activities and net loss in the period in which such determination is made.
