| b. | Equity remuneration plans |
The Company presently administers the 2000 Plan, the 2010 Plan and the 2015 Plan (collectively, the “Plans”), all of which were adopted with shareholder approval. The Plans are discussed in further detail below.
On June 4, 2015, the 2000 Plan expired (except with respect to equity awards outstanding on that date).
At December 31, 2018, under the 2000 Plan, options to purchase a total of 296,556 Ordinary Shares (of which 289,042 had vested) remained outstanding, all transfer restrictions attached to restricted shares that had been granted had lapsed in full and no Ordinary Shares remained available for future equity awards.
On July 15, 2010, the Board adopted, and the Company’s shareholders subsequently approved, the 2010 Plan. The 2010 Plan is intended to assist the Company in attracting, retaining, motivating and rewarding employees, officers, directors and/or consultants of the Company and/or companies, partnerships or other entities and their respective subsidiary companies, partnerships or entities inside or outside of Israel in which the Company holds, directly or indirectly, at least a 50% equity interest, by providing them with equity-based incentives. The 2010 Plan will terminate on July 14, 2020 (except as to awards outstanding on that date).
The 2010 Plan: (i) provides only for the awarding of restricted shares and restricted share units (“RSU”s) and does not provide for the awarding of options to purchase Ordinary Shares; (ii) introduced performance-based equity awards to the Company’s equity remuneration program and provides that an aggregate of 250,000 or more of the Ordinary Shares subject to awards made under the 2010 Plan are to be subject to performance-based criteria to be established by the Board (but which shall be linked to the Company’s profitability); (iii) provides that if any award granted under the 2010 Plan expires, terminates or is forfeited or cancelled, settled in cash, or otherwise terminates for any reason without a delivery to the participant of the full number of Ordinary Shares to which the award related, the Ordinary Shares under such award which were not so delivered shall again be available for the purposes of the 2010 Plan; but that Ordinary Shares not delivered pursuant to performance-based restricted shares or RSUs which expire, terminate or are forfeited or lapse solely because the performance goals with respect thereto were not attained will not again be available for purposes of the 2010 Plan; and (iv) provides that if the employment or services of a grantee of restricted shares or RSUs with or to the Company is or are terminated prior to the full vesting of, and lapsing of forfeiture provisions on, such award for any reason, the restricted shares or RSUs held by such participant that have not theretofore vested and on which the forfeiture provisions have not theretofore lapsed shall immediately be forfeited upon the earlier of such termination or notice of termination irrespective of the effective date of such termination (unless the applicable agreement provides otherwise).
