Set forth below are the proposals voted on at the AGM, as well as the final vote tabulation as certified by the Inspector of Election. Note that ‘votes abstained’ and ‘broker non-votes’ are not votes under English Law and are not counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes ‘for’ and ‘against’ a resolution.

Based on the foregoing votes, the shareholders approved all of the foregoing resolutions.

 

In addition, on October 17, 2023 and October 18, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) was informed by Amir Ramot and Boaz Arbel, respectively, that they wished to defer the commencement of their director appointments pending completion of the next tranche of funding by Osprey Investments Limited (“Osprey”) under the strategic investment arrangements of up to $50 million announced by the Company on June 27, 2023 or otherwise, rather than their appointments becoming effective as of the close of the AGM. On October 18, 2023, the Board confirmed the deferral of Messrs. Ramot’s and Arbel’s appointments.

 

As previously indicated, Osprey and the Company entered into an investors’ rights agreement (“IRA”) as part of the strategic investment arrangements and under that IRA, the Company is obligated to reduce the size of its Board to seven directors by the close of the Company’s 2023 AGM and Osprey has the right to appoint two directors, subject to the terms and conditions of the IRA. Mr. Ramot and Mr. Arbel are nominees of Osprey. Notwithstanding the deferral of their appointments, Mr. Foss’s resignation took effect as of the close of the AGM, as previously announced by the Company on September 22, 2023 and in accordance with the Company’s obligations under the IRA. As such, as from the conclusion of the AGM, the Company’s Board consists of five directors, including Richard Stoddard, the new chair of the Board, Eileen Moore Johnson and Alan Bowers, as independent directors, as well as Rafael Museri and Daniel Rudasevski. The Company will provide further updates on any changes to the composition of the Board and its committees in due course.
