NOTE 8: | SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY |
The ordinary shares of the Company entitle their holders to receive notice to participate and vote in general meetings of the Company, the right to share in distributions upon liquidation of the Company and to receive dividends, if declared.
| b. | Stock Options and RSUs plans |
In 2003, the Company adopted a share option plan which has been extended or replaced from time to time. To date, the plan that is currently in effect is the Amended and Restated Share Option and RSU Plan as amended on August 10, 2014 (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, options and RSUs may be granted to officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries. The options vest primarily over four years, subject to certain exceptions. The options expire between six to ten years from the date of grant. The Plan was extended to expire on December 31, 2024. In 2024, the Company adopted a new share option plan, the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, to replace the Plan (the “New Plan”).
The Company has reserved sufficient authorized but unissued Shares for purposes of the Plan and the New Plan (together the “Plans”) subject to adjustments as provided in the Plans.
