NUVO
GROUP LTD. 

 

Compensation
Policy for Executive Officers and Directors

 

(As
Adopted on November 2021)

 

 

 

 

 

     

     

    

 

A.
Overview and Objectives

 

		1.	Introduction

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

		2.	Objectives
                                            

 

Nuvo’s
objectives and goals in setting this Policy are to attract, motivate and retain experienced and talented leaders who will contribute
to Nuvo’s success and enhance shareholder value, while demonstrating professionalism in
an achievement-oriented and merit-based culture that rewards long-term excellence, and embedding and modeling Nuvo’s
core values as part of a motivated behavior. To that end, this Policy is designed, among other things:

 

		2.1.	To
                                            closely align the interests of the Executive Officers with those of Nuvo’s
                                            shareholders in order to enhance shareholder value;

 

		2.2.	To
                                            align a significant portion of the Executive Officers’ compensation with Nuvo’s
                                            short and long-term goals and performance;

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

		3.	Compensation
                                            Instruments

 

Compensation
instruments under this Policy may include the following:

 

		3.1.	Base
                                            salary;

 

    2

     

    

 

		3.2.	Benefits;

 

		3.3.	Cash
                                            bonuses;

                                            and termination terms.

 

		4.	Overall
                                            Compensation - Ratio Between Fixed and Variable Compensation

 

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

 

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

 

		5.	Inter-Company
                                            Compensation Ratio

 

		5.1.	In
                                            the process of drafting this Policy, Nuvo’s
                                            Board and Compensation Committee have examined the ratio between employer cost associated
                                            with the engagement of the Executive Officers, including directors, and the average and median
                                            employer cost associated with the engagement of Nuvo’s
                                            other employees (including contractor employees as defined in the Companies Law) (the “Ratio”).

 

		5.2.	The
                                            possible ramifications of the Ratio on the daily working environment in Nuvo
                                            were examined and will continue to be examined by Nuvo
                                            from time to time in order to ensure that levels of executive compensation, as compared
                                            to the overall workforce will not have a negative impact on work relations in Nuvo.

 

B.
Base Salary and Benefits

 

		6.	Base
                                            Salary

 

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

 

		6.2.	Since
                                            a competitive base salary is essential to Nuvo’s
                                            ability to attract and retain highly skilled professionals, Nuvo
                                            will seek to establish a base salary that is competitive with base salaries paid to
                                            Executive Officers in a peer group of other companies operating in technology sectors that
                                            are as much as possible similar in their characteristics to Nuvo,
                                            the list of which shall be reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee. To that end,
                                            Nuvo shall utilize comparative market data and practices
                                            as a reference, including a survey comparing and analyzing the level of the overall compensation
                                            package offered to an Executive Officer of the Company with compensation packages for persons
                                            serving in similar positions (to that of the relevant officer) in the peer group. Such compensation
                                            survey may be conducted internally or through an external independent consultant.

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

                                            applicable law and with reference to Nuvo’s
                                            policies and procedures and the practice in peer group companies (including contributions
                                            on bonus payments); and

 

		7.1.6.	Nuvo
                                            shall contribute

                                            law and with reference to Nuvo’s policies
                                            and procedures and to the practice in peer group companies.

                                            in the relevant jurisdiction in which they are employed. Such customary benefits shall be
                                            determined based on the methods described in Section ‎6.2 of this Policy (with the necessary
                                            changes and adjustments).

 

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

 

		7.4.	Nuvo
                                            may offer

                                            practices, such as, but not limited to: cellular and land line phone benefits, company car

                                            and other business related expenses, insurances, other benefits (such
                                            as newspaper subscriptions, academic and professional studies), etc., provided, however,
                                            that such additional benefits shall be determined in accordance with Nuvo’s
                                            policies and procedures.

 

C.
Cash Bonuses

 

		8.	Annual
                                            Cash Bonuses - The Objective

 

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

		8.2.	An
                                            annual cash bonus may be awarded to Executive Officers upon the attainment of pre-set periodical
                                            objectives and individual targets determined by the Compensation Committee (and, if required
                                            by law, by the Board) for each fiscal year, or in connection with such officer’s engagement,
                                            in case of newly hired Executive Officers, taking into account Nuvo’s
                                            short and long-term goals, as well as its compliance and risk management policies. The Compensation
                                            Committee and the Board shall also determine applicable minimum thresholds that must be met
                                            for entitlement to the annual cash bonus (all or any portion thereof) and the formula for

		12.	The
                                            Objective

 

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

 

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

 

		12.3.	All
                                            equity-based incentives granted to Executive Officers (other than bonuses paid in equity
                                            in lieu of cash) shall normally be subject to vesting periods in order to promote long-term
                                            retention of the awarded Executive Officers. Unless determined otherwise in a specific award
                                            agreement or in a specific compensation plan approved by the Compensation Committee and the
                                            Board, grants to Executive Officers other than non-employee directors shall vest based on
                                            time, gradually over a period of at least 2-4 years, or based on performance. The exercise
                                            price of options shall be determined in accordance with Nuvo’s
                                            policies, the main terms of which shall be disclosed in the annual report of Nuvo.

 

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