	A.	Overview and Objectives

 

	1.	Introduction

 

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

 

Compensation is a key component of Gamida’s
overall human capital strategy to attract, retain, reward, and motivate highly skilled individuals that will enhance Gamida’s
value and otherwise assist Gamida to reach its long-term goals. Accordingly, the structure of this Policy is established to tie
the compensation of each officer to Gamida’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, Gamida’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 approved by the shareholders of Gamida
and shall serve as Gamida’s Compensation Policy for the maximum period of time permitted by any applicable law, commencing
as of the closing of the initial public offering of Gamida’s shares.

 

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

	2.	Objectives

 

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

 

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

 

	2.2.	To align a significant portion of the Executive Officers’ compensation with Gamida’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 excellency and corporate performance; and

 

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

 

This Compensation Policy was prepared taking
into account the Company’s nature, size and business and financial characteristics.

 

	3.	Compensation Instruments

 

Compensation instruments under this Policy
may include the following:

 

	3.1.	Base salary;

 

	3.2.	Benefits;

 

	3.3.	Cash bonuses (short-to-medium term incentive);

 

	3.4.	Equity based compensation (medium-to-long term incentive); and

 

	3.5.	Retirement 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, which are based on the fair value on the date of grant, calculated annually, on a linear basis, excluding adjustment period/retirement bonuses, granted in accordance with section 16 below) in order to, among others, appropriately incentivize Executive Officers to meet Gamida’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 Variable Compensation of each Executive Officer shall not exceed 90% of the total compensation package of such Executive Officer on an annual basis. The Board believes that such range expresses the appropriate compensation mix in the event that all performance objectives are achieved and assumes that all compensation elements are granted with respect to a given year.

 

    -2-

     

    

 

	4.3.	It should be clarified, that the Fixed Compensation may constitute 100% of the total compensation package for an Executive Officer in any year (under circumstances in which a variable component will not be approved for that year and/or in the event of a failure to meet the set goals, if and when determined).

 

	5.	Inter-Company Compensation Ratio

 

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

 

	5.2.	The Board believes that the current Ratio does not adversely impact the work environment in Gamida.   The possible ramifications of the Ratio on the daily working environment in Gamida were examined and will continue to be examined by Gamida 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 Gamida.

 

	B.	Base Salary Benefits

 

	6.	Base Salary

 

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

 

	6.2.	Since a competitive base salary is essential to Gamida’s ability to attract and retain highly skilled professionals, Gamida will seek to establish a base salary that is competitive with base salaries paid to Executive Officers in a peer group of companies relevant to Gamida’s field of business, while considering, among others, Gamida’s size and field of operation and the geographical location of the employed Executive Officer. To that end, Gamida shall utilize as a reference, comparative market data and practices, which may include among others a compensation survey that compares and analyses the level of the overall compensation package offered to an Executive Officer of the Company with compensation packages in similar positions to that of the relevant Executive Officer in other companies operating in business sectors that are similar in their characteristics to Gamida’s, as much as possible, while considering, among others, such companies’ size and characteristics including their revenues, profitability rate, number of employees and operating arena (in Israel or globally). Such compensation survey may be conducted internally or through an external 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 are similar to those used in initially determining the base salary, but may also include among others, educational background, prior vocational experience, expertise and qualifications, change of role, business authorities and responsibilities, past performance and previous compensation arrangements with such Executive Officer, 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. When determining the Base Salary, the Company may also decide to consider, at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee and the Board and as required, the prevailing pay levels in the relevant market, Base Salary and the total compensation package of comparable Executive Officers in the Company, the proportion between the Executive Officer’s compensation package and the salaries of other employees in the Company and specifically the median and average salaries and the effect of such proportions on the work relations in the Company.

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

 

	7.3.

	8.	Annual Cash Bonuses – The Objective

 

	8.1.	The Company (subject to the approvals of the Compensation Committee and the Board, and with respect to the CEO- also the Company’s general meeting of shareholders) may grant cash bonuses to its Executive Officers on a quarterly or annually basis, or on a shorter or longer period basis, in accordance with the principles detailed below.

 

	8.2.	Compensation in the form of an annual cash bonus is an important element in aligning the Executive Officers’ compensation with Gamida’s objectives and business goals.

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) at the beginning of each calendar year, or upon engagement, in case of newly hired Executive Officers, taking into account Gamida’s short and long-term goals, as well as its compliance and risk management policies. The Compensation Committee and the Board may also determine any applicable minimum thresholds that must be met for entitlement to the annual cash bonus (all or any portion thereof) and the formula for calculating any annual cash bonus payout, with respect to each calendar year, for each Executive Officer. In special circumstances, as determined by the Compensation Committee and the Board (e.g., regulatory changes, significant changes in Gamida’s business environment, a significant organizational change and a significant merger and acquisition events), the Compensation Committee and the Board may modify the objectives and/or their relative weights during the calendar year. 

 

	8.4.	In the event the employment of an Executive Officer is terminated prior to the end of a fiscal year, the Company may pay such Executive Officer a full annual cash bonus or a prorated one. Such bonus will become due on the same scheduled date for annual cash bonus payments by the Company.

	9.	Annual Cash Bonuses - The Formula

 

Executive
Officers other than the CEO

These performance measurable objectives, which include the objectives and the weight to be assigned to each achievement in the overall evaluation, will be categorized as described below :

 

	 	9.4.1.	Between 40%-60% will be based on overall company performance measurable objectives;

 

	 	9.4.2.	Between 20%-50% will be based on goals set forth in the Company’s annual operating plan and long-term plan;

 

	 	9.4.3.	The less significant part of the annual cash bonus granted to Gamida’s CEO, and in any event not more than 25% of the annual cash bonus, may be based on a discretionary evaluation of the CEO’s overall performance by the Compensation Committee and the Board.

			EXHIBIT 4.1
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			Description of the Company’s Capital Stock
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			The following description of Chemed Corporation’s capital stock is based on and qualified by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), and our By-laws, as amended (the “By-laws”). This description does not purport to be complete, or to give full effect to the provisions of statutory or common law, and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the terms of our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws, both of which are filed as exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			General
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 80,000,000 shares of capital stock, par value $1.00 per share.  Our Certificate of Incorporation does not authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock.  As of February 14, 2020, we had 16,055,361 shares of capital stock outstanding.  
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			The capital stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “CHE.”
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			Rights of Holders of Our Capital Stock
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			Our stockholders are entitled to one vote for each share of our capital stock held of record on all matters on which stockholders are entitled or permitted to vote.  Our Board of Directors is not classified, and our capital stock does not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.  As a result, the holders of a majority of the shares of our capital stock voting for the election of directors can elect all the directors standing for election.  Holders of our capital stock are entitled to receive dividends out of legally available funds when and if declared from time to time by our Board of Directors.  In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our capital stock will be entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities.  Our capital stock has no preemptive, subscription or conversion rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation.  The outstanding shares of our capital stock are fully paid and nonassessable.

			Anti-takeover Effects of Our Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws and Delaware Law
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			Some provisions of Delaware law, the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws could make certain extraordinary corporate transactions involving the Company more difficult. These provisions are summarized below: 
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			Stockholder Meetings
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			Under the By-laws, only our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President, and the Secretary may call special meetings of our stockholders, and are required to call a special meeting upon the proper request of the Board of Directors or stockholders who in the aggregate beneficially own at least 25% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of our capital stock.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			The By-laws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and nomination of candidates for election as directors other than nominations made by or at the direction of the Board.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			Delaware Anti-takeover Law
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			The Company is a Delaware corporation that is subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.  Section 203 provides in general that a stockholder acquiring more than 15% of the outstanding voting stock of a corporation subject to Section 203, but less than 85% of such stock may not engage in a “Business Combination” (as defined in Section 203, including a merger, asset sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to a stockholder), with the corporation for a period of three years from the date on which that stockholder became an “Interested Stockholder” unless (i) prior to such date, the corporation’s board of directors approved either the Business Combination or the transaction in which the stockholder became an Interested Stockholder, or (ii) the Business Combination is approved by the corporation’s board of directors and authorized by the holders of at least 66% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation not owned by the Interested Stockholder.  We have not opted out of Section 203.
