We do not have any formal policy that requires us to grant, or avoid granting, equity-based compensation at certain times. We do not grant equity awards in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information that is likely to result in changes to the price of our common stock, and do not time the public release of such information based on award grant dates. The timing of any equity grants to executive officers or directors in connection with new hires, promotions, or other non-routine grants is tied to the event giving rise to the award (such as an executive officer’s commencement of employment or promotion effective date).

During the year ended December 31, 2024, there were no equity grants made to our executive officers during any period beginning four business days before the filing of a periodic report or current report disclosing material non-public information and ending one business day after the filing or furnishing of such report with the Securities and Exchange Commission that were likely to result in changes to the price of our common stock, and do not time the public release of such information based on award grant dates.

Non-Employee Director Remuneration Policy

In March 2013, our Board of Directors adopted the following non-employee director remuneration policy:

Cash Awards

Our non-employee directors (currently Messrs. Shaked, Matheis, McGrath, Kaplan, Stern and Ms. Karah) will receive the following cash payments for each fiscal year: (i) $50,000 per year, to be paid quarterly in arrears and (ii)

$20,000 for Board committee service, to be paid quarterly in arrears. Commencing the second quarter of 2024 Messrs Shaked, Mathies, Kaplan, Stern and Ms. Karah have waived their cash compensation.

Stock and Option Awards

On March 6, 2024, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved the following issuances, each was done under our 2020 Equity Incentive Plan: (i) 90,000 restricted shares of our common stock to Mr. Shaked; (ii) 80,000 restricted shares of our common stock to Mr. McGrath; and (iii) 70,000 restricted shares of our common stock to each of Ms. Karah, Mr. Matheis, Mr. Stern and Mr. Kaplan.

On February 24, 2025, our Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved to accelerate the vesting of 35,000 restricted shares of our common stock as well as approved the grant of 30,000 restricted shares of Common Stock to Mr. Kaplan.

Compensation Committee Review

The Compensation Committee shall, if it deems necessary or prudent in its discretion, reevaluate and approve in January of each such year (or in any event prior to the first board meeting of such fiscal year) the cash and equity awards (amount and manner or method of payment) to be made to non-employee directors for such fiscal year. In making this determination, the Compensation Committee shall utilize such market standard metrics as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, an analysis of cash compensation paid to independent directors of our peer group.

The Compensation Committee shall also have the power and discretion to determine in the future whether non-employee directors should receive annual or other grants of options to purchase shares of common stock or other equity incentive awards in such amounts and pursuant to such policies as the Compensation Committee may determine utilizing such market standard metrics as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, an analysis of equity awards granted to independent directors of our peer group.

Participation of Employee Directors; New Directors

Unless separately and specifically approved by the Compensation Committee in its discretion, no employee director of our company shall be entitled to receive any remuneration for service as a director (other than expense reimbursement as per prevailing policy).

New directors joining our Board of Directors shall be entitled to a pro-rated portion (based on months to be served in the fiscal year in which they join) of cash and stock option or other equity incentive awards (if applicable) for the applicable fiscal year at the time they join the board.

Prior Awards to Management

On November 4, 2024, our Compensation Committee approved amendments to certain previously issued awards of restricted shares of common stock in the aggregate amount of 68,750 and 250,000 shares of common stock, respectively, granted to Mr. Erez Raphael, our Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Zvi Ben David, our Chief Financial Officer, in the aggregate amount of 23,750 and 125,000 shares of common stock, respectively, on May 18, 2022 and March 6, 2024 (collectively, the “Prior Awards”) to permit an immediate acceleration of the unvested portion of the Prior Awards in the event of change in control of the Company.
