CONTENTS
In compliance with the Companies Law, 5759-1999 of the State of Israel and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Companies Law”) and the articles of association of Macrocure Ltd. (the “Company”), as amended (the “Articles”), the Company hereby notifies its shareholders that it will hold a special general meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) at the Company’s offices, located at 25 Hasivim Street, Petach Tikva 4959383, Israel, on Tuesday, December 30, 2014 at 3:00 p.m., Israel time.
The Meeting is being called for the purpose of voting on the approval of a compensation policy for the Company’s executives and directors, in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Law.
The Board of Directors of the Company recommends that the Company’s shareholders vote in favor of the proposal.
The presence in person or by proxy of two or more shareholders possessing at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s voting power will constitute a quorum at the Meeting. In the absence of a quorum within 30 minutes of the scheduled time for the Meeting, the Meeting will be adjourned for one week and will be held on Tuesday, January 6, 2014 at the same time and place, unless otherwise determined by the Chairman of the Meeting. At such adjourned meeting, the presence of at least two shareholders in person or by proxy (regardless of the voting power possessed by their shares) will constitute a quorum. Approval of the proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares present (in person or by proxy) and voting (not including abstentions) at the Meeting (or at any adjournment thereof). In addition to the simple majority described in the previous sentence, the approval of the proposal also requires that either:
| | · | the majority voted in favor of the proposal includes a majority of the ordinary shares held by non-controlling shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the approval of the proposal that are voted at the Meeting, excluding abstentions; or |
| | · | the total number of ordinary shares held by non-controlling, disinterested shareholders (as described in the previous bullet-point) voted against approval of the proposal does not exceed two percent (2%) of the aggregate voting rights in the Company. |
In accordance with the regulations under the Companies Law and the requirements of the Articles, the Company is publishing notice of the Meeting in an international wire service on Tuesday, November 25, 2014. The proposal and details with respect to the Meeting will be described more fully in a proxy statement that the Company will send to its shareholders of record, which we urge you to read in its entirety. That proxy statement and a related proxy card will also be furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K, which may be obtained for free from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or at the Company’s website— at http://investor.macrocure.com. The full text of the proposed resolutions, together with the form of proxy card for the Meeting, may also be viewed beginning on Thursday, December 4, 2014, at the registered office of the Company, 25 Hasivim Street, Petach Tikva, Israel, from Sunday to Thursday (excluding holidays), 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Israel time). Our telephone number at our registered office is +972-3-923-5556.
Shareholders of record at the close of business on Monday, December 1, 2014 are entitled to participate in and to vote at the Meeting. All shareholders are cordially invited to attend the Meeting in person.
Shareholders who are unable to attend the Meeting in person will be requested to complete, date and sign a form of proxy and return it promptly in the pre-addressed envelope that will be provided, so as to be received not less than forty eight (48) hours in advance of the Meeting. No postage will be required if it is mailed in the United States to our United States transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Shareholders who attend the Meeting in person may revoke their proxies and vote their ordinary shares at the Meeting.
If your ordinary shares in the Company are held in “street name” (meaning held through a bank, broker or other nominee), you will be able to either direct the record holder of your shares on how to vote your shares (including via www.proxyvote.com) or obtain a legal proxy from the record holder to enable you to participate in and to vote your shares at the Meeting (or to appoint a proxy to do so).
Joint holders of ordinary shares in the Company should take note that, pursuant to our articles of association, the vote of the senior of joint holders of any share who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, will be accepted to the exclusion of the vote(s) of the other holder(s) of the share, and for this purpose seniority will be determined by the order of registration of the joint holders in the register of shareholders.
