The foregoing number of issued and outstanding ordinary shares excludes 568,840 ordinary shares that we repurchased (24,780 in 2002 and 543,840 in 2011), as under applicable Israeli law, shares that are held by the Company have no voting rights. Each ordinary share (including an ordinary share represented by an ADS) outstanding as of the close of business on the record date, Wednesday, June 17, 2026, is entitled to one vote upon each of the matters to be presented at the Meeting. Under our Articles of Association, the Meeting will be properly convened if at least two shareholders (including holders of ordinary shares represented by ADSs) attend the Meeting in person or sign and return proxies, provided that they hold shares representing at least twenty-five percent (25%) of our voting power. If such quorum is not present within one hour from the time scheduled for the Meeting, the Meeting will be adjourned for one week (to the same day, time and place), or to a day, time and place proposed by the Chairman with the consent of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and voting on the adjournment. If 25% of our voting power is not present within one half-hour of the time designated for the adjourned meeting, any two shareholders attending in person or by proxy will constitute a quorum, regardless of the number of shares they hold or represent.

You are entitled to vote at the Meeting if you are a shareholder of record at the close of business on Wednesday, June 17, 2026.

If you hold ADSs (whether the ADSs are registered directly in your name or are held in “street name”) as of that date, you are entitled to receive notice of the Meeting and to direct the depositary for the ADSs, The Bank of New York Mellon, referred to as the Depositary, as to how to vote the ordinary shares represented by your ADSs at the Meeting.

How You Can Vote

 

The method of ensuring that your ordinary shares are voted at the Meeting will differ for shares held as a record holder, shares held in “street name” (through a Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, or TASE, member) and shares underlying ADSs that you hold. Record holders of shares will need to complete and execute proxy cards (accessible at the Company’s website) and submit them to the Company. Holders of shares in “street name” through a TASE member will vote via a proxy card, but through a different procedure (as described below) or by electronic voting via the electronic voting system of the Israel Securities Authority. Holders of ADSs (whether registered in their name or in “street name”) will receive voting instruction forms in order to instruct the Depositary how to vote (as described below).

 

Shareholders of Record

 

If you are a shareholder of record (that is, you hold a share certificate that is registered in your name or your shares are registered in your name in book-entry form), you can submit your vote by attending the Meeting, or by completing, signing and submitting a proxy card, which will be accessible at the “Investor Relations” section of the Company’s website, as described below under “Availability of Proxy Materials”.

 

Please follow the instructions on the proxy card. You may change your mind and cancel your proxy card by sending us written notice, by signing and returning a proxy card with a later date, or by voting in person or by proxy at the Meeting. Except if the Chairman of the Meeting determines otherwise, we will not be able to count a proxy card unless we receive it by 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on Sunday, July 19, 2026, or we receive it at our principal executive offices at Terminal Center, 1 Yahadut Canada Street, Or Yehuda, 6037501, Israel, Attention: Chief Financial Officer (physically, or via e-mail to: ir@formula.co.il), at least six hours prior to the time fixed for the Meeting (that is, by 8:00 a.m., Israel time, on Monday, July 20, 2026). The chairman of the Meeting may waive that six-hour deadline.

 

Shareholders Holding Through the TASE

 

If you hold ordinary shares through a bank, broker or other nominee that is admitted as a member of the TASE, your shares can be voted in one of the following three manners: (i) by attending the Meeting and voting in person; (ii) by sending in your vote in advance of the Meeting; or (iii) by voting electronically in advance of the Meeting via the electronic voting system of the Israel Securities Authority. Each of these possibilities is described further in the next paragraph.

 

If you hold ordinary shares via a member of the TASE, you may vote your shares in person at the Meeting, by presenting a certificate signed by the TASE Clearing House member through which the shares are held, which complies with the Israel Companies Regulations (Proof of Ownership for Voting in General Meetings)—2000 as proof of ownership of the shares (an “ishur baalut”). In the alternative, you may vote in advance of the Meeting by sending that proof-of-ownership certificate, along with a duly executed proxy card (in the form filed by us on MAGNA, the distribution site of the Israeli Securities Authority, at www.magna.isa.gov.il), to the Company at Terminal Center, 1 Yahadut Canada Street, Or Yehuda, 6037501, Israel, Attention: Chief Financial Officer, e-mail: ir@formula.co.il. If you utilize that method, your vote must be received by us at least six hours prior to the time fixed for the Meeting (that is, by 8:00 a.m., Israel time, on Monday, July 20, 2026). The Chairman of the Meeting may waive that six-hour deadline. As a third possibility, you may vote electronically in advance of the Meeting through the electronic voting system of the Israel Securities Authority (votes.isa.gov.il), subject to proof of ownership of the shares on the record date, as required by law. Voting through the electronic voting system will be allowed until six (6) hours before the Meeting, that is, until 8:00 a.m., Israel time, on Monday, July 20, 2026.

 

If you hold your shares through a TASE member and you voted in advance of the Meeting and seek to change or revoke your vote, then (i) if you sent in your vote (together with proof of ownership) originally to the Company, you can send in a later-dated proxy card and proof of ownership to the Company, or (ii) if you voted originally via the electronic voting system of the Israel Securities Authority, you may change or revoke your vote using the electronic voting system. In either case, you must complete the revocation of your vote before the deadline for submitting a vote (which is described above).

Holders of ADSs

 

Under the terms of the Deposit Agreement by and among our Company, The Bank of New York Mellon, as the Depositary, and the holders of our ADSs, the Depositary shall endeavor (insofar as is practicable and in accordance with applicable law and the Articles of Association of our Company) to vote or cause to be voted the number of shares represented by ADSs in accordance with the instructions provided by the holders of ADSs to the Depositary. For ADSs that are held in “street name”, through a bank, broker or other nominee, the voting process will be based on the underlying beneficial holder of the ADSs directing the bank, broker or other nominee to arrange for the Depositary to vote the ordinary shares represented by the ADSs in accordance with the beneficial holder’s voting instructions. If no instructions are received by the Depositary from any holder of ADSs (whether held directly by a beneficial holder or in “street name”) with respect to any of the shares represented by the ADSs on or before the date established by the Depositary for such purpose, the Depositary shall vote the shares represented by such ADSs in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of our Company as advised by our Company in writing, except that the Depositary shall not vote the shares represented by ADSs with respect to any matter as to which we inform the Depositary (we have agreed to provide that information as promptly as practicable in writing, if applicable) that (x) we do not wish the Depositary to vote, or (y) the matter materially and adversely affects the rights of holders of our ordinary shares.

 

In order to have your voting instructions count towards the tally of ordinary shares represented by ADSs voted at the Meeting, your voting instructions must be received by the Depositary by 12:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on Wednesday, July 15, 2026.

 

Multiple Record Shareholders or Accounts

 

You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple voting instruction forms. For example, shareholders who hold ADSs in more than one brokerage account will receive a separate voting instruction form for each brokerage account in which ADSs are held. Shareholders of record whose shares are registered in more than one name should complete, sign, date and return one proxy card for each name in which shares are held.

 

Vote Required for Approval of Each Proposal

 

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and voting thereon (which excludes abstentions) is necessary for the approval of each of Proposals 1 through 6.

 

Various Voting Scenarios

 

If you are a shareholder of record and do not return your proxy card, your shares will not be voted. If you provide specific instructions (mark boxes) with regard to any of the proposals, your shares will be voted as you instruct. If you sign and return your proxy card without giving specific instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board, “FOR” Proposals 1 through 6. The proxy holders will furthermore vote in their discretion on any other matters that properly come before the Meeting.

 

If you hold shares beneficially via a member of the TASE, your shares will also not be voted at the Meeting if you do not follow the above-described instructions for voting, and will not be voted with respect to a particular proposal if you do not indicate how you would like to vote on that proposal.

 

In the case of ordinary shares represented by ADSs, however, if you do not return your voting instruction form to instruct your broker how to cause the Depositary to vote, or if you sign and return your voting instruction form without giving specific instructions, the Depositary will vote the shares represented by those ADSs in accordance with the recommendation of the Board (“FOR” each of Proposals 1 through 6), as advised by our Company in writing, unless we inform the Depositary otherwise.

 

Solicitation of Proxies

 

A form of proxy for having your ordinary shares voted at the Meeting has been filed publicly and/or a voting instruction form for directing the Depositary how to vote the ordinary shares underlying your ADSs has mailed to you (as appropriate). Shareholders may revoke the authority granted by their execution of proxies or voting instruction forms at any time before the effective exercise thereof by filing with us or the Depositary (as applicable) a written notice of revocation or duly executed proxy or voting instruction form bearing a later date, or by voting in person at the Meeting (if providing the relevant proof of ownership of ordinary shares or ADSs). Proxies are being made available to shareholders on or about Wednesday, June 24, 2026, and voting instruction forms are being mailed to holders of ADSs on or about Wednesday, June 24, 2026. Certain officers, directors, employees, and agents of the Company, none of whom will receive additional compensation therefor, may solicit proxies or voting instruction forms by telephone, emails, or other personal contact. We will bear the cost for the solicitation of the proxies, including postage, printing, and handling, and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding material to beneficial owners of shares and ADSs.

 

Availability of Proxy Materials

 

Copies of the proxy card, the notice of the Meeting and this Proxy Statement are available at the “Investor Relations—Annual General Meetings” section of our Company website, www.formulasystems.com. The contents of that website are not a part of this Proxy Statement.

Policy on Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditors

 

Our audit committee is responsible for the oversight of our (and our subsidiaries’) independent auditors’ work. Our audit committee has adopted a policy and procedures for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services rendered by our independent registered public accountants, BDO. Pre-approval of an audit or non-audit service may be given as a general pre-approval, as part of the audit committee’s approval of the scope of the engagement of our independent auditor, or on an individual basis. Any proposed services that exceed general pre-approved levels also require specific pre-approval by our audit committee. The policy prohibits retention of the independent public accountants to perform the prohibited non-audit functions defined in Section 201 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or the rules of the SEC, and also requires the audit committee to consider whether proposed services are compatible with the independence of the public accountants.
