PROXY STATEMENT

 

FOR AN ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS 

TO BE HELD ON DECEMBER 9, 2026

 

This Proxy Statement is furnished to the holders of ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.1 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of Enlight Renewable Energy Ltd. (the “Company”) in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) of proxies for use at an annual general meeting of shareholders (the “General Meeting”), to be held on December 9, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. Israel time, at the offices of the Company, 13 Amal St., Afek Industrial Park, Rosh Ha’ayin 4809249, Israel, or at any adjournments or postponements thereof.

Shareholders Entitled to Vote

 

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on November 2, 2026 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to receive notice of, and to vote on the matters to be presented at, the General Meeting. At the close of business on October 21, 2026, the Company had outstanding 140,001,970 Ordinary Shares. In the event of two or more shareholders that are joint holders of a share and are present and voting, only the vote of the head of the joint owners present and voting will be taken into consideration, and the votes of the other joint owners will not. For this purpose, the head of the joint owners will be considered the person whose name is recorded first in the register of shareholders from those present and voting.

 

 

 

How You Can Vote

 

A form of proxy card for use at the General Meeting is attached to this Proxy Statement and has been sent to the shareholders together with a prepaid return envelope for the proxy. By appointing “proxies”, shareholders may vote at the General Meeting, whether or not they attend. If a properly executed proxy in the enclosed form is received by the Company within the timeframes outlined below, all of the Ordinary Shares represented by the proxy shall be voted as indicated on the proxy card. If you are a registered shareholder, subject to applicable law and the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”), in the absence of instructions, the Ordinary Shares represented by properly dated, executed and delivered proxies will be voted FOR all of the proposed resolutions to be presented at the General Meeting for which the Board of Directors recommends a “FOR” vote.

 

Whether or not you plan to attend the General Meeting, it is important that your Ordinary Shares be represented. Accordingly, you are kindly requested to complete, date, sign and mail the enclosed proxy in the envelope provided at your earliest convenience.

 

-Shareholders of record are requested to complete, date and sign the enclosed form of proxy and to return it no later than December 9, 2026, at 6:59 a.m. Israel time (i.e., 11:59 p.m. ET the day before the General Meeting), in the pre-addressed envelope provided. Alternatively, such shareholders may vote electronically before such time at www.proxyvote.com using the control number provided with your proxy materials.

 

-If your Ordinary Shares are held through a bank, broker or other nominee, which in turn holds the shares through Cede & Co. as nominee for The Depository Trust Company, such Ordinary Shares are considered to be held in “street name” and you are the beneficial owner with respect to such Ordinary Shares (“Beneficial Owners”). A Beneficial Owner as of the Record Date has the right to direct the bank, broker or nominee how to vote Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by such Beneficial Owner at the General Meeting. If your Ordinary Shares were held in “street name” as of the Record Date, these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your bank, broker or other nominee (who is considered, with respect to such Ordinary Shares, as the shareholder of record), together with a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the bank, broker or nominee how to vote your Ordinary Shares.

 

-Shareholders registered in the Company’s shareholders register in Israel (“Registered Shareholders”) and shareholders who hold Ordinary Shares through members of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE” and “TASE Member”, respectively) that are included among the Ordinary Shares registered in the Company’s shareholders register in Israel under the name of a nominee company in Israel (“Non-registered Shareholders”) should deliver or mail (via registered mail) a completed written ballot (in the form filed by the Company via MAGNA, the online platform of the Israel Securities Authority (“TASE Ballot”)) to the Company’s offices, c/o Ms. Lisa Haimovitz, 13 Amal St., Afek Industrial Park, Rosh Ha’ayin 4809249, Israel no later than December 9, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. Israel time (i.e., at least four (4) hours before the General Meeting starts). By this time, both Registered Shareholders and Non-registered Shareholders must also provide the Company with a copy of their identity card, passport or certificate of incorporation (“Identifying Information”). A TASE Ballot submitted by a Registered Shareholder without Identifying Information attached to it will not be valid. Non-registered Shareholders must also provide the Company with an ownership certificate confirming their ownership of the Company’s Ordinary Shares on the Record Date, which certificate must be approved by a recognized financial institution (“Ownership Certificate”), as required by the Israel Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the “Companies Law”) and Israel Companies Regulations (Proof of Ownership of Shares for Voting at General Meeting), 5760-2000, as amended. A TASE Ballot submitted by a Non-registered Shareholder without an Ownership Certificate attached to it will not be valid. A Non-registered Shareholder is entitled to receive the Ownership Certificate at the branch of the TASE Member through which such shareholder holds his Ordinary Shares, or request from such TASE Member to deliver it by mail. Such a request must be provided in advance, and with respect to a specific securities account. A Non-registered Shareholder may direct the relevant TASE Member to transfer the Ownership Certificate to the Company through the electronic voting system of the Israel Securities Authority (the “Electronic Voting System”). Alternatively, Non-registered Shareholders may vote electronically via the Electronic Voting System, no later than December 9, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Israel time (i.e., at least six (6) hours before the General Meeting starts). A Non-registered Shareholder should receive instructions about electronic voting from the TASE Member through which such Non-registered Shareholder holds his Ordinary Shares.

 

Execution of a proxy will not in any way affect a shareholder’s right to attend the General Meeting and vote in person, and any person giving a proxy has the right to revoke it in accordance with Section 9 of the Israel Companies Law Regulations (Proxy Voting and Positions Statements), 2005 (the “Companies Law Regulations (Proxy Voting)”).

 

-Shareholders of record who intend to vote their Ordinary Shares in person are requested to bring proof of identity to the General Meeting.

 

2 

 

-Because a Beneficial Owner with shares held in “street name” is not a shareholder of record, such shareholders may not vote those Ordinary Shares directly at the General Meeting unless they obtain a “legal proxy” from the bank, broker or other nominee that holds the Ordinary Shares directly, giving them the right to vote the Ordinary Shares at the General Meeting. Brokers that hold Ordinary Shares in “street name” for clients typically have authority to vote on “routine” proposals even when they have not received instructions from Beneficial Owners. None of the items on the General Meeting agenda may be considered routine. Therefore, it is important for a shareholder that holds Ordinary Shares through a bank, broker or other nominee to instruct its bank, broker or other nominee how to vote its Ordinary Shares, if the shareholder wants its Ordinary Shares to count for all proposals.

 

-Both Registered Shareholders and Non-registered Shareholders who intend to vote their Ordinary Shares in person must provide the Company with Identifying Information, and Non-registered Shareholders must also provide an Ownership Certificate, no later than December 9, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Israel time (i.e., at least two (2) hours before the General Meeting starts). Both Registered Shareholders and Non-registered Shareholders may revoke their proxies or TASE Ballot (as applicable) in accordance with Section 9 of the Companies Law Regulations (Proxy Voting).

 

Even if you plan to attend the General Meeting, the Board unanimously recommends that you vote your shares in advance so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the General Meeting.

 

Expenses and Solicitation

 

The Board of Directors is soliciting proxies for use at the General Meeting. The Company expects to mail this Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy cards to the shareholders on or about November 5, 2026. In addition to solicitation of proxies from the shareholders by mail, certain officers, directors, employees and agents of the Company may solicit proxies by telephone, mail or other personal contact. The Company will bear the cost of the solicitation of the proxies, including postage, printing and handling and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding materials to beneficial owners of Ordinary Shares.

 

This Proxy Statement and proxy card will also serve as a voting deed (ktav hatzba’a), as such term is defined under the Companies Law.

 

Change or Revocation of Proxy

 

Any shareholder of record at the close of business on the Record Date returning the accompanying proxy may revoke such proxy at any time prior to the General Meeting by: (i) giving written notice to us of such revocation; (ii) voting in person at the General Meeting or requesting the return of the proxy at the General Meeting; or (iii) executing and delivering to us a later-dated proxy prior to the General Meeting. Written revocations and later-dated proxies should be sent in accordance with Section 9 of the Companies Law Regulations (Proxy Voting), to the Company’s offices, c/o Ms. Lisa Haimovitz, at 13 Amal St., Afek Industrial Park, Rosh Ha’ayin 4809249, Israel. Attendance at the General Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request.

 

If you are a Beneficial Owner with shares held in “street name,” you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee in accordance with Section 9 of the Companies Law Regulations (Proxy Voting) or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your bank, broker or other nominee giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the General Meeting and voting in person. If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of a TASE Member and wish to change your voting instructions, you must contact the TASE Member through which you hold your shares.

 

Quorum and Vote Required for Approval of Each of the Proposals

 

One (1) or more shareholders holding Ordinary Shares representing in the aggregate at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the voting power of the Company, present in person or by proxy at the General Meeting and entitled to vote thereat, will constitute a quorum (a “Quorum”). If within 30 minutes from the time appointed for the General Meeting a Quorum is not present, the General Meeting shall be adjourned to the same day of the following week, at the same time and place, or on such other day, time and place as shall be prescribed by the Board of Directors in a notification to the shareholders. In the event that a Quorum is not present 30 minutes from the time appointed for the reconvened meeting, the reconvened meeting will take place with any number of shareholders.

 

Pursuant to the Companies Law, the approval of all proposals in this Proxy Statement requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting power represented at the General Meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter presented.

 

Abstentions and “broker non-votes” are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a Quorum. Other than for the purpose of determining a Quorum, broker non-votes will not be counted as present and are not entitled to vote. Abstentions will not be treated as either a vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” a matter.

 

3 

 

On each matter submitted to the shareholders for consideration at the General Meeting, only Ordinary Shares that are voted on such matter will be counted toward determining whether shareholders approved the matter. Ordinary Shares present at the General Meeting that are not voted on a particular matter (including broker non-votes) will not be counted in determining whether such matter is approved by shareholders.

 

Other Matters

 

The Company is currently unaware of any other matters that may be raised at the General Meeting. Should any other matters be properly raised at the General Meeting, the persons designated as proxies will vote according to their own judgment on those matters. One or more shareholders holding at least one percent (1%) of the Company’s total voting rights may present proposals for consideration at the General Meeting by submitting their proposals to the Company’s offices, c/o Ms. Lisa Haimovitz, at 13 Amal St., Afek Industrial Park, Rosh Ha’ayin 4809249, Israel, no later than the close of business on November 4, 2026. If the Company determines that a shareholder’s proposal is suitable for discussion at the General Meeting, a revised agenda will be published by the Company.

 

Voting Results

 

The final voting results will be tallied by the Company based on the information provided by our tabulation agent, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., or otherwise, and the overall results of the General Meeting will be published following the General Meeting in a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K that will be furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

Reporting Requirements

 

The Company is subject to the information reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), applicable to foreign private issuers. The Company fulfills these requirements by filing reports with the SEC. The Company’s filings are available to the public on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

 

As a foreign private issuer, the Company is exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements. The circulation of this Notice and Proxy Statement should not be considered as an admission that the Company is subject to the proxy rules under the Exchange Act.

 

COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

 

For information concerning the salary expenses and social benefit costs of the Company’s five highest compensated executive officers in the year ended December 31, 2025, see Item 6.B. of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2026 (the “Annual Report”), a copy of which is available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov or on the Company’s website at https://enlightenergy.com.

 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

According to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Association (the “Articles of Association”), the number of Company directors must not be less than five (5) nor more than thirteen (13). The term of office of the directors expires at each annual general meeting, provided that their respective replacement has been duly elected or appointed. At each annual general meeting, the then-serving directors may be re-nominated to serve an additional one-year term that expires at the annual general meeting held in the year following such election, provided that their respective replacement has been duly elected or appointed.

 

As an Israeli company, the Company is subject to various corporate governance requirements under the Companies Law. However, pursuant to regulations promulgated under the Companies Law, companies with shares traded on certain U.S. stock exchanges, including Nasdaq, may, subject to certain conditions, opt out from certain Companies Law requirements, including a requirement to appoint “external directors” and related rules concerning the composition of the audit committee and compensation committee of the board of directors (other than the gender diversification rule under the Companies Law, which requires the appointment of a director from the other gender if, at the time a director is appointed, all members of the board of directors are of the same gender). In accordance with these regulations, the Company has elected to “opt out” from such requirements of the Companies Law. Under these regulations, the exemptions from such Companies Law requirements will continue to be available to the Company so long as the Company complies with the following: (i) the Company does not have a “controlling shareholder” (as such term is defined under the Companies Law), (ii) the Company’s Ordinary Shares are traded on certain U.S. stock exchanges, including Nasdaq, and (iii) the Company complies with the director independence requirements and the requirements regarding the composition of the audit committee and the compensation committee under U.S. laws (including applicable Nasdaq rules) applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. 

 

4 

 

The Company is a “foreign private issuer” (as such term is defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act). As a foreign private issuer, the Company is permitted to comply with Israeli corporate governance practices instead of the corporate governance rules of Nasdaq, provided that the Company discloses which requirements it is not following and the equivalent Israeli requirement. As a foreign private issuer, the Company is exempt under the Exchange Act from, among other things, the rules prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and the Company’s 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, the Company is not required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. For more information regarding the Company’s corporate governance practices and foreign private issuer status, see Item 16G. “Corporate Governance” of the Company’s Annual Report.

 

Committees of the Company’s Board of Directors

 

The Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Nominating Committee, and an Environmental, Social and Governance Committee. Each committee operates in accordance with a written charter that sets forth such committee’s structure, operations, membership requirements, responsibilities and authority to engage advisors, among other duties, as required by Nasdaq listing standards applicable to U.S. domestic listed companies. Members serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by the Board of Directors. The Company’s Board of Directors may establish other committees as it deems necessary or appropriate from time to time. The Company has elected to opt out from the Companies Law rules concerning the composition of the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee, and has instead elected to comply with the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee composition requirements of Nasdaq applicable to U.S. domestic listed companies. For more information regarding the Company’s committees, see Item 6.C. “Board Practices - Committees of our Board of Directors” of the Company’s Annual Report.

 

Other Corporate Governance Practices

 

Below is a summary of other key governance practices and policies that the Board of Directors believes help advance the Company’s goals and protect the interests of the shareholders, including:

 

☑ Base a portion of the compensation opportunity of our executive officers on our and their respective performance.  

☑

 

Annual bonuses are subject either to the attainment of pre-set periodic objectives and individual and Company targets determined annually, or to discretionary evaluations. 

 

☑ Set annual performance targets for our chief executive officer based on measurable objectives.   ☑ Offer equity and cash compensation which we believe enhances alignment between executive officers’ interests and the Company’s and shareholders’ long-term interests, as well as strengthens retention and motivation of executive officers in the long term.
☑ Adopted a ‘clawback policy’ and include in our compensation policy for executive officers and directors (the “Compensation Policy”) ‘clawback’ provisions which allow us under certain circumstances to recoup excess incentive compensation to executive officers where the Company is required to prepare a financial restatement to correct a material error.   ☑ Tailor executive officers’ compensation to target our short- and long-term goals, as well as each officer’s individual performance.
☑ Maintain a majority independent Board of Directors.  

☑

 

Include in our Compensation Policy measures intended to reduce executive officers’ incentives to take excessive risks that may harm us in the long term, such as limiting cash bonuses and equity-based compensation, as well as the ratio between the variable and the total compensation of an executive officer, and setting minimum vesting periods for equity-based compensation.

 

☑ Maintain entirely independent Audit, Compensation, and Environmental, Social and Governance Committees.   ☑ Regularly review executive compensation.

At the General Meeting, shareholders will be asked to approve the re-appointment of Somekh Chaikin, a member firm of KPMG International, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026, and until the next annual general meeting of shareholders, and to authorize the Company’s Board of Directors, following the approval of the Audit Committee, to approve and ratify the remuneration of such firm in accordance with the volume and nature of their services. Somekh Chaikin has no relationship with the Company or with any affiliate of the Company except to provide audit services and tax consulting services.

 

The following table sets out the total amount paid by the Company to Somekh Chaikin for services performed in the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and breaks down these amounts by category of service:

    (in thousands) 
Audit Fees(1)   $892   $861 
Tax Fees(2)    238    128 
Total   $1,130   $989 

 

(1)Audit fees for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 consisted of fees for professional services provided in connection with the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements and audit services that are normally provided by an independent registered public accounting firm in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these years. For the year ended December 31, 2024, our auditors performed, for the first time, an integrated audit of our financial statements and our internal controls as required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

 

(2)Tax fees for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 refer to professional services rendered by our auditors, which include ongoing tax advisory, tax compliance and tax consulting associated with transfer pricing.

 

The advance approval of the Audit Committee or members thereof, to whom approval authority has been delegated, is required for all audit and non-audit services provided by the Company’s auditors.

 

The Audit Committee has adopted a pre-approval policy with respect to services provided by the Company’s auditors, and all such services are approved in advance by either the Audit Committee or members thereof, to whom authority has been delegated, in accordance with such policy.

 

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

 

“RESOLVED, to approve the re-appointment of Somekh Chaikin, a member firm of KPMG International, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026, and until the next annual general meeting of shareholders, and authorize the Company’s Board of Directors, following the approval of the Audit Committee, to approve and ratify the remuneration of such firm in accordance with the volume and nature of their services.”

PROPOSAL NO. 2

 

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

 

Background

 

Pursuant to the Company’s Articles of Association, the number of Company directors must not be less than five (5) nor more than thirteen (13). The term of office of the directors expires at each annual general meeting, provided that their respective replacement has been duly elected or appointed. At each annual general meeting, the then-serving directors may be re-nominated to serve an additional one-year term that expires at the annual general meeting held in the year following such election.

 

The term of office of each of the current directors of the Company expires at the General Meeting. Therefore, at the General Meeting, shareholders will be asked to elect Mr. Gilad Yavetz, Mr. Yair Seroussi, Ms. Liat Benyamini, Ms. Michal Tzuk, Ms. Alla Felder, Dr. Shai Weil, Mr. Yitzhak Betzalel and Mr. Zvi Furman. The Board of Directors has recommended and approved that the foregoing individuals be nominated for election at the General Meeting. If elected at the General Meeting, Mr. Yavetz, Mr. Seroussi, Ms. Benyamini, Ms. Tzuk, Ms. Felder, Dr. Weil, Mr. Betzalel and Mr. Furman will each serve until the 2027 annual general meeting of shareholders, and until his or her respective successor has been duly elected or appointed, or until his or her office has been vacated in accordance with applicable law or the Articles of Association. The Company is not aware of any reason why any of the nominees, if elected, would be unable or unwilling to serve as a director.

 

Each of Mr. Gilad Yavetz, Mr. Yair Seroussi, Ms. Liat Benyamini, Ms. Michal Tzuk, Ms. Alla Felder, Dr. Shai Weil, Mr. Yitzhak Betzalel and Mr. Zvi Furman has attested to the Board of Directors and to the Company that he or she, as applicable, meets all the requirements in connection with the election of directors under the Companies Law. In addition, the Board of Directors has determined that each of the nominees qualifies as an independent director under the applicable requirements of Nasdaq and the relevant rules of the SEC, except Mr. Gilad Yavetz, who is not independent by virtue of having served as our Chief Executive Officer until October 2025.

 

Since the last annual general meeting of shareholders in 2025, each director nominated for election has attended more than 90% of the meetings of the Board and the respective Board committees on which he or she served during such time.

 

Compensation of the Directors

 

Each of our directors (other than the Executive Chairman and Vice Chairman) receives an annual cash retainer of up to NIS 113,427 (or approximately $36,708, based on a New Israeli Shekel to United States Dollar exchange rate of NIS 3.09 to USD 1.0 published by the Bank of Israel on October 21, 2026 (the “NIS to USD Exchange Rate”)) with an additional payment for service on the Board and its committees of NIS 4,224 (or approximately $1,367, based on the NIS to USD Exchange Rate) per meeting. These amounts are based on, and aligned with, the Israeli Companies Regulations (Rules Regarding the Compensation and Expenses of an External Director), 5760-2000, and include a 10% increase over the fixed amount, while not exceeding the maximum amount, as defined therein.

 

The Executive Chairman of our Board, Mr. Yavetz, receives an annual cash payment of NIS 1.416 million (or approximately $458,252, based on the NIS to USD Exchange Rate). In September 2025, as part of his terms of engagement as Executive Chairman, our shareholders approved a grant of 345,927 stock options, 6,726 restricted share units (“RSUs”) and 76,055 performance-based restricted share units (“PSUs”) to Mr. Yavetz. The options, RSUs and PSUs, granted under the Company’s 2010 Employee Option Allocation Plan (the “2010 Plan”), will vest in four equal annual installments of 25% each, so long as Mr. Yavetz serves as an office holder of the Company.

 

The Vice Chairman of our Board, Mr. Seroussi, receives an annual cash payment of NIS 600,000 (or approximately $194,175, based on the NIS to USD Exchange Rate). In September 2025, as part of his terms of engagement as Vice Chairman, our shareholders approved the grant of 51,574 stock options and 11,339 PSUs to Mr. Seroussi. The options and PSUs, granted under the Company’s 2010 Plan, will vest in four equal annual installments of 25% each, so long as Mr. Seroussi serves as an office holder of the Company. Mr. Seroussi is required to dedicate the equivalent of 40% of the time required by a full-time position to his role as Vice Chairman of our Board of Directors.

 

If re-elected to the Board of Directors and Proposal 3 of this Proxy Statement is approved by the shareholders, each of our directors (other than our Executive Chairman and Vice Chairman) will be entitled to the equity compensation described in such proposal.

 

In addition, each director benefits from coverage under the Company’s directors and officers liability insurance policies and from a letter of indemnification provided to such directors by the Company.

 

For information concerning the salary expenses and social benefit costs of the Company’s five highest compensated executive officers, including Mr. Yavetz, for the year ended December 31, 2025, see Item 6.B. of the Company’s Annual Report.

PROPOSAL NO. 3

 

GRANT OF RESTRICTED SHARE UNITS TO MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

Background

 

The Company’s Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have each approved, and recommended that the Company’s shareholders approve, the grant of 2,502 RSUs to each member of our Board of Directors, other than the Executive Chairman and Vice Chairman (the “Eligible Directors”). For information about the compensation of the Executive Chairman and Vice Chairman, refer to Proposal 2 in this Proxy Statement.

 

If approved by shareholders at the General Meeting, the RSUs will be awarded without consideration on or about April 21, 2027, the final vesting date for the previous grant of RSUs to directors in 2024, to all Eligible Directors serving at such time. The RSUs will automatically convert into an equal number of Ordinary Shares of the Company upon vesting, which will occur in three equal annual installments of 33 1/3%, with the first installment to vest one year from the grant date and an additional 33 1/3% to vest on each annual anniversary of the vesting date thereafter. The RSUs will be granted under our 2010 Plan and the Compensation Policy and will be subject to their terms, including with respect to any adjustment and acceleration mechanisms, as well as the relevant grant letter or agreement.

 

To develop the RSU grant recommendations, the members of the Compensation Committee and Board were presented with comparative data regarding equity compensation for non-executive directors in companies with similar market characteristics. The members of the Compensation Committee and Board believe that the proposed grants are on market terms and are in line with customary and acceptable practices regarding remuneration of directors in Israeli and dually listed companies with similar characteristics. Furthermore, the Compensation Committee and Board are of the opinion that the value of the proposed grants would not create an unwanted risk incentive for our directors.

 

The Ordinary Shares of the Company received upon vesting of the RSUs will be registered for trading on the TASE. In addition, such Ordinary Shares will also be subject to the registration statement on Form S-8 filed by the Company with the SEC.

 

Detail Regarding Director Compensation

 

The following is a breakdown of the compensation expected to be paid in 2027 to each of the Eligible Directors (in terms of cost to the Company, in NIS thousands), including the proposed RSU awards, in accordance with the sixth addendum to the Israeli Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 19801:

* Indicates ownership of less than 1%.

Rationale for Proposed Equity Grant

 

The Compensation Committee and Board believe that awarding the proposed equity compensation will allow the Company to provide Eligible Directors with appropriate and balanced incentives that are consistent with the scope and nature of the Company’s operations. The Compensation Committee and Board further believe that awarding RSU compensation creates an appropriate correlation between the price of our Ordinary Shares and the interests of our shareholders, on the one hand, and the compensation of our directors, on the other. Additionally, the proposed equity compensation awards are in accordance with the terms of our Compensation Policy, which provides, among other provisions, that equity compensation awards to directors shall not exceed 50% of a director’s total annual compensation.

 

The Compensation Committee and Board are of the opinion that awarding the proposed equity compensation promotes the goals and objectives of the Company and its policies from a long-term perspective, appropriately considers the risks associated with the Company’s operations, and adjusts the components of the compensation package to the size of the Company and the nature of its operations.

 

In accordance with the above, the Compensation Committee and Board are of the opinion that the proposed RSU grants to our Eligible Directors are in the best interests of the Company, in accordance with the Companies Law, and are fair and reasonable under the circumstances.

 

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

 

“RESOLVED, to approve the grant of 2,502 restricted share units to each director of the Company, other than the Executive Chairman and Vice Chairman.”

 

The affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting power represented at the General Meeting, in person or by proxy and voting thereon, is required to adopt this resolution.

 

THE COMPANY’S COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND A VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THIS RESOLUTION.

OTHER BUSINESS

 

Other than as set forth above, as of the mailing of this Proxy Statement, the Company knows of no business to be transacted at the General Meeting; however, if any other matters are properly presented at the General Meeting, it is intended that the persons named as proxies will vote upon such matters, pursuant to their discretionary authority, according to their best judgment and in the interest of the Company.

 

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2027 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

 

Under the Companies Law and the Company’s Articles of Association, shareholders who severally or jointly hold at least 1% of the Company’s outstanding voting rights are entitled to request that the Board of Directors include a proposal in a future shareholders meeting, provided that such proposal is appropriate for consideration by shareholders at such meeting. To be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement for our 2027 annual general meeting of shareholders pursuant to the Companies Law, shareholder proposals must be in writing and must be properly submitted to the Company’s offices, c/o Ms. Lisa Haimovitz, at 13 Amal St., Afek Industrial Park, Rosh Ha’ayin 4809249, Israel, and must otherwise comply with the requirements of the Companies Law. The written proposal must be received by the Company not later than the seventh calendar day following the day on which the Company calls and provides notice of the 2027 annual general meeting of shareholders.

 

The Company currently expects that the agenda for the annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2027 will include, among others, (1) the election (or re-election) of directors; (2) the approval of the appointment (or re-appointment) and compensation of the Company’s auditors; and (3) presentation for discussion of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2026.

 

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

This Proxy Statement may present Adjusted EBITDA, a financial metric, which is provided as a complement to the results provided in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”).

 

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, finance expenses, taxes on income and share in losses of equity accounted investees and minus finance income, gains from projects disposals and non-recurring portions of other income, net. For the purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA, compensation for inadequate performance of goods and services procured by the Company is included in other income, net. Compensation for inadequate performance of goods and services reflects the profits the Company would have generated under regular operating conditions and is therefore included in Adjusted EBITDA. With respect to gains (losses) from asset disposals, as part of our strategy to accelerate growth and reduce the need for equity financing, the Company sells parts of or the entirety of selected renewable project assets from time to time, and therefore includes realized gains or losses from these asset disposals in Adjusted EBITDA. In the case of partial assets disposals, Adjusted EBITDA includes only the actual consideration less the book value of the assets sold. Our management believes Adjusted EBITDA is indicative of operational performance and ongoing profitability and uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance and for planning and forecasting purposes.

 

Non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for financial information presented under IFRS. There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-IFRS financial measures versus comparable financial measures determined under IFRS. For example, other companies in our industry may calculate the non-IFRS financial measures that we use differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance. All of these limitations could reduce the usefulness of our non-IFRS financial measures as analytical tools. Investors are encouraged to review the related IFRS financial measure, Net Income, and to not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business performance.

 

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
