PROXY STATEMENT

 

DarioHealth CORP.

SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

to be held at 11:00 a.m. on February 5, 2020

Zysman, Aharoni, Gayer and Sullivan & Worcester LLP

1633 Broadway, 32nd Floor

New York, New York 10019

 

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THESE PROXY MATERIALS

 

Why am I receiving this Proxy Statement?

 

This Proxy Statement describes the proposals on which our Board of Directors (the “Board”) would like you, as a stockholder, to vote at a Special Meeting of the Stockholders (the “Meeting”), which will take place at 11:00 a.m. on February 5, 2020, at the law offices of Zysman, Aharoni, Gayer and Sullivan & Worcester LLP, 1633 Broadway, 32nd Floor, New York, New York 10019.

 

This Proxy Statement also gives you information on these proposals so that you can make an informed decision. We intend to mail this Proxy Statement and accompanying proxy card on or about December 30, 2019, to all stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Meeting.

 

In this proxy statement, we refer to DarioHealth Corp. as the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” or similar terminology.

 

Website addresses included in this proxy statement are textual references only, and the information in any website is not incorporated by reference into this proxy statement.

 

How many shares must be present in order to hold the special meeting of stockholders?

 

Our Bylaws provide that a quorum shall consist of the holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting. A quorum will be present if stockholders holding at least a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote are present at the meeting in person or represented by proxy. On December 27, 2019 (the “Record Date”), there were 2,235,649 shares of Common Stock, 8,361 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (convertible into 2,065,167 shares of Common Stock), with a conversion price of $4.05 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), 5,200 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (convertible into 1,284,400 shares of Common Stock), with a conversion price of $4.05 per share (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”), 1,915 shares of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (convertible into 448,110 shares of Common Stock), with a conversion price of $4.28 per share (the “Series A-2 Preferred Stock”), 5,154 shares of Series A-3 Convertible Preferred Stock (convertible into 1,035,954 shares of Common Stock), with a conversion price of $4.98 per share (the “Series A-3 Preferred Stock”) and 745 shares of Series A-4 Convertible Preferred Stock (convertible into 126,650 shares of Common Stock), with a conversion price of $5.90 per share (the “Series A-4 Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding. Each share of Common Stock and Preferred Stock, except for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, is entitled to one vote per share on an as-converted basis. The Series A-1 Preferred Stock do not possess any voting rights. Thus, the holders of the aggregate number of 2,955,766 shares of Common Stock, inclusive of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Series A-4 Preferred Stock (on an as-converted basis) must be present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting to have a quorum. If such quorum shall not be present or represented, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the Meeting, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you vote in person at the Meeting. Abstentions may be specified on all proposals. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. Submitted proxies which are left blank will also be counted as present for purposes of determining a quorum but are not counted for purposes of determining whether a proposal has been approved in matters where the proxy does not confer the authority to vote on such proposal, and thus have no effect on its outcome.

Who can vote at the special meeting of stockholders?

 

Stockholders who owned shares of our Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Series A-4 Preferred Stock on the Record Date may attend and vote at the Meeting. There were 2,235,649 shares of Common Stock, 8,361 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (convertible into 2,065,167 shares of Common Stock), 1,915 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock (convertible into 448,110 shares of Common Stock), 5,154 shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock (convertible into 1,035,954 shares of Common Stock) and 745 shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock (convertible into 126,650 shares of Common Stock) outstanding on the Record Date. All shares of Common Stock and the Preferred Stock, aside the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, have one vote per share and vote together as a single class. The Series A-1 Preferred Stock do not possess any voting rights.

 

What is the proxy card?

 

The proxy card enables you to appoint Erez Raphael, our Chief Executive Officer, and/or Zvi Ben-David, our Secretary, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, as your representative at the Meeting. By completing and returning the proxy card or voting online as described herein, you are authorizing these persons to vote your shares at the Meeting in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card. This way, your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Meeting, please complete and return your proxy card before the Meeting date just in case your plans change. If a proposal comes up for vote at the Meeting that is not on the proxy card, the proxies will vote your shares, under your proxy, according to their best judgment.

 

What am I voting on?

 

You are being asked to vote:

 

  1. To consider and vote to amend the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan by 1,350,000 shares from 618,650 to 1,968,650 (the “Incentive Plan Proposal”).
     

We will also transact any other business that properly comes before the Meeting.

 

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

 

Our Board unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” the Incentive Plan Proposal.

 

What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

 

Most of our stockholders hold their shares in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder, rather than holding share certificates in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

 

Stockholder of Record

 

If, on the Record Date, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, VStock Transfer LLC, you are a “stockholder of record” who may vote at the Meeting, and we are sending these proxy materials directly to you. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to direct the voting of your shares by returning the enclosed proxy card to us or to vote in person at the Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, please complete, date and sign the enclosed proxy card to ensure that your vote is counted.

 

3

 

 

Beneficial Owner

 

If, on the Record Date, your shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm or at a bank or other nominee holder, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held “in street name,” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or nominee who is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker on how to vote your shares and to attend the Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Meeting unless you receive a valid proxy from your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder. To obtain a valid proxy, you must make a special request of your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder. If you do not make this request, you can still vote by using the voting instruction card enclosed with this proxy statement; however, you will not be able to vote in person at the Meeting.

 

How do I vote?

 

(1)       You may vote by mail. You may vote by mail by completing, signing and dating your proxy card and returning it in the enclosed, postage-paid and addressed envelope. If we receive your proxy card prior to the Meeting and if you mark your voting instructions on the proxy card, your shares will be voted:

 

  · as you instruct, and
     
  · according to the best judgment of the proxies if a proposal comes up for a vote at the Meeting that is not on the proxy card.

 

If you return a signed card, but do not provide voting instructions, your shares will be voted:

 

  · for the Incentive Plan Proposal;
     
  · according to the best judgment of either Mr. Raphael or Mr. Ben-David if a proposal comes up for a vote at the Meeting that is not on the proxy card.

 

(2)       You may vote in person at the Meeting. We will pass out written ballots to anyone who wants to vote at the Meeting. However, if you hold your shares in street name, you must bring to the Meeting a valid proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee holding your shares that confirms your beneficial ownership of the shares and gives you the right to vote your shares. Holding shares in street name means you hold them through a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, and therefore the shares are not held in your individual name. We encourage you to examine your proxy card closely to make sure you are voting all of your shares in the Company.

 

(3)       You may vote online. You may also have access to the materials for the Meeting by visiting the website: http://mydario.investorroom.com. You may also cast your vote by visiting www.proxyvote.com if you hold your shares in “street name,” or www.vstocktransfer.com/proxy if you are a registered stockholder.

 

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

 

You may have multiple accounts at the transfer agent and/or with brokerage firms. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

 

What if I change my mind after I return my proxy?

 

You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the polls close at the Meeting. You may do this by:

 

  · sending a written notice to Zvi Ben-David, our corporate Secretary, stating that you would like to revoke your proxy of a particular date;
     
  · signing another proxy card with a later date and returning it before the polls close at the Meeting; or
     
  · attending the Meeting and voting in person.

 

4

 

 

Please note, however, that if your shares are held of record by a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, you must instruct your broker, bank or other nominee that you wish to change your vote by following the procedures on the voting form provided to you by the broker, bank or other nominee. If your shares are held in street name, and you wish to attend and vote at the Meeting, you must bring to the Meeting a legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee holding your shares, confirming your beneficial ownership of the shares and giving you the right to vote your shares. 

 

Will my shares be voted if I do not sign and return my proxy card?

 

If your shares are held in street name or in your name and you do not sign and return your proxy card, your shares will not be voted unless you vote in person at the Meeting.

 

How are votes counted?

 

You may vote “for,” “against,” or “abstain” on each of the proposals being placed before our stockholders. Abstentions and broker non-votes (i.e., shares held by brokers on behalf of their customers, which may not be voted on certain matters because the brokers have not received specific voting instructions from their customers with respect to such matters) will be counted solely for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present at the Meeting.

 

What are broker non-votes?

 

Broker non-votes occur when a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” does not give instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares as to how to vote on matters deemed “non-routine.” Generally, if shares are held in street name, the beneficial owner of the shares is entitled to give voting instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares. If the beneficial owner does not provide voting instructions, the broker or nominee can still vote the shares with respect to matters that are considered to be “routine,” but not with respect to “non-routine” matters. In the event that a broker, bank, or other agent indicates on a proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote certain shares on a non-routine proposal, then those shares will be treated as broker non-votes. The Incentive Plan Proposal is a non-routine proposal; therefore, your broker, bank or other agent is not entitled to vote your shares on the Incentive Plan Proposal without your instructions.

  

How many votes are required to approve the Incentive Plan Proposal?

 

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting by the holders of Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote is required for approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal. Abstentions are considered present for purposes of establishing a quorum but will have no effect on the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal. Broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of the vote on this matter.

 

What happens if I don’t indicate how to vote my proxy?

 

If you just sign your proxy card without providing further instructions, your shares will be counted as a “for” vote for the Incentive Plan Proposal.

  

Is my vote kept confidential?

 

Proxies, ballots and voting tabulations identifying stockholders are kept confidential and will not be disclosed except as may be necessary to meet legal requirements.

 

Where do I find the voting results of the Meeting?

 

We will announce preliminary voting results at the Meeting and file a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing the final voting results of the Meeting.

Who can help answer my questions?

 

You can contact our Secretary, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, Zvi Ben-David, at +(972)-(4) 770 4055 or by sending a letter to Mr. Ben-David at offices of the Company at 8 HaTokhen Street, Caesarea Industrial Park 3088900, Israel, with any questions about proposals described in this Proxy Statement or how to execute your vote.

 

No Right of Appraisal

 

None of Delaware law, our Certificate of Incorporation or our Bylaws provides for appraisal or other similar rights for dissenting stockholders in connection with any of the proposals to be voted upon at this Meeting. Accordingly, our stockholders will have no right to dissent and obtain payment for their shares.

 

ALL PROXIES RECEIVED WILL BE VOTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CHOICES SPECIFIED ON SUCH PROXIES. PROXIES WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR OF A PROPOSAL IF NO CONTRARY SPECIFICATION IS MADE. ALL VALID PROXIES OBTAINED WILL BE VOTED AT THE DISCRETION OF THE PERSONS NAMED IN THE PROXY WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER BUSINESS THAT MAY COME BEFORE THE MEETING. THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL.

PROPOSAL 1

INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL

 

On December 26, 2019, the Board, upon the recommendation of the Board’s Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”), unanimously approved an amendment to the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan Amendment”), subject to stockholder approval, to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan by 1,350,000 shares from 618,650 to 1,968,650 and to permit the issuance of stock grants under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan.

 

The full text of the proposed Plan Amendment is set out in Annex A to this Proxy Statement. The text of the proposed Plan Amendment is subject to modification to include such changes as the Board deems necessary and advisable to affect the increase in the number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. Stockholders are being asked to approve the Plan Amendment.

 

Reasons for the Plan Amendment

 

The purpose of our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan is to attract and retain directors, officers, consultants, advisors and employees whose services are considered valuable, to encourage a sense of proprietorship and to stimulate an active interest of such persons in our development and financial achievements. In addition, we intend to use part of the increased number of shares available under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan to issue awards to board members, employees, consultants, advisors and service providers in lieu of cash payments that are, or may be, owed, as a way to preserve our cash. Our Board believes that the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan remaining available is insufficient to achieve the purpose of the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. Therefore, our Board believes the Plan Amendment is necessary to increase the number of shares of Common Stock available under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, which will allow flexibility in granting awards to attract and retain key personnel and to provide a means for directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors to preserve our cash, to acquire and maintain an interest in us, which interest may be measured by reference to the value of our Common Stock.

 

Effects of the Plan Amendment

 

As a result of the Plan Amendment, there will be an increase in the total number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. This will provide us with the ability to grant more awards than are currently available under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan to eligible recipients including employees, directors, consultants and advisors. The issuance in the future of awards under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan consisting of full value awards, options to purchase shares of Common Stock and stock grants may have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share, as well as the stock ownership and voting rights, of the holders of the currently outstanding shares of Common Stock. The effective increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that may be issued as awards under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan may be construed as having an anti-takeover effect by permitting the issuance of shares to purchasers who might oppose a hostile takeover bid or oppose any efforts to amend or repeal certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws. Holders of the Common Stock have no preemptive or other subscription rights.

 

Description of the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan

 

Shares Subject to the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2012 Equity Incentive Plan provides for grants of stock options and stock grants to employees, directors and consultants of ours (and affiliates of ours). The maximum number of shares of Common Stock currently reserved for the grant of awards under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan is 618,650, subject to adjustment as provided by the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. As of the Record Date, 178,680 shares were available for future grants under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. If the proposal for the Plan Amendment is approved, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock reserved for grant of awards under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan will be 1,968,650, of which 1,528,680 will be available for future grants.

 

7

 

 

Purpose and Eligible Individuals. The purpose of the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan is to retain the services of valued key employees, directors and consultants of ours and its affiliates, thereby strengthening their incentive to achieve the objectives of our stockholders, to serve as an aid and inducement in the hiring of new employees and to provide an equity incentive to consultants and other persons selected by the Compensation Committee. Under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, awards may be granted to our officers, directors, employees and consultants or to our affiliates (each, a “Participant”).

 

Administration. The Board has the authority to administer the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan or may delegate administration of the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan to a committee of not less than two outside members of the Board, in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and/or not less than two (2) non-employee directors, in accordance with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Our Board has delegated its administrative powers to administer the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan to our Compensation Committee. As such, our Compensation Committee has the power, among other things, to (a) determine terms and conditions of any option or stock right granted, including the exercise price and the vesting schedule, (b) select persons who are to receive options, (c) interpret the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan and prescribe rules and regulations for its administration and (d) delegate to a subcommittee any of the administrative powers the Compensation Committee is authorized to exercise, subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board.

 

Stock Options. The Compensation Committee may grant incentive stock options (“ISOs”), nonqualified stock options or options under Section 102 or 3(i) of the Israeli Tax Ordinance (New Version) 1961 (“OTI”) (collectively referred to as “Options”). The Compensation Committee determines the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each Option, provided that the aggregate fair market value of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by a participant during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. The Compensation Committee determines the exercise price of an Option, its duration and the manner and time of exercise. However, in no event shall an Option be exercisable more than ten years following the grant date thereof. A ten percent stockholder of the Company shall not be granted an ISO unless the exercise price of such ISO is at least 110% of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the date of grant and such ISO is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date of grant. ISOs may be issued only to employees of the Company or of a corporate subsidiary of ours, and the exercise price must be at least equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock as of the date the Option is granted.

 

The Compensation Committee, in its discretion, may provide the vesting terms of any Option. The vesting of one or more outstanding Options may be accelerated by the Board at such times and in such amounts as it shall determine in its sole discretion.

 

The exercise price of an Option may be paid in any form or method authorized by the Board and permitted by the option agreement and 2012 Equity Incentive Plan.

 

ISOs granted under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan and the rights and privileges conferred by the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any manner (whether by operation of law or otherwise) other than by will or by applicable laws of descent and distribution. Nonqualified stock options shall be not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any manner (whether by operation of law or otherwise) other than by will or by applicable laws of descent and distribution or as otherwise provided in the option agreement.

 

Restricted Stock. The Compensation Committee may award shares of Common Stock to a Participant subject to such conditions and restrictions as the Compensation Committee may determine. Restrictions could include conditions that require the Participant to forfeit the shares in the event that the Participant ceases to provide services to us or any of our affiliates thereof before a stated time.

 

The period of restriction, the number of shares of restricted stock granted, the purchase price, if any, and such other conditions and/or restrictions as the Compensation Committee may establish will be set forth in an award agreement.

 

After all conditions and restrictions applicable to restricted shares have been satisfied or have lapsed, shares of restricted stock will become freely transferable, as determined by the Compensation Committee and stated in the award agreement.

 

8

 

 

The Compensation Committee may make a stock award without any restrictions.

 

Effect of Certain Corporate Transactions. If a recapitalization or similar transaction occurs that does not alter the existing proportionate ownership of the Common Stock, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the exercise price, the purchase price, if any, and number of outstanding awards. In the case of a change of control (as defined in the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan), such as a merger, acquisitive transaction, reorganization, liquidation or other transaction (a “Major Transaction”) that does alter such proportionate ownership, vested awards generally may be exercised before such transaction and persons owning Common Stock as a result of awards made under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan will participate on the same basis as other owners of Common Stock. Alternatively, the Board may determine in the case of a Major Transaction that awards will continue in effect on a basis similar to that in effect prior to such Major Transaction, including with respect to vesting, except that such rights shall apply with respect to the surviving entity or shall be assumed by the surviving or acquiring corporation (in accordance, as applicable, with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or Section 424 of the Code). The Board may, in its discretion, accelerate vesting in whole or in part in connection with a Major Transaction. The 2012 Equity Incentive Plan also provides that Awards may be liquidated for a cash payment.

 

Further Amendments to the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. The Board or the Compensation Committee may, at any time, modify, amend or terminate the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan or modify or amend awards granted under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, including, without limitation, such modifications or amendments as are necessary to maintain compliance with applicable laws. However, the Board or the Compensation Committee may not, without approval of our stockholders: (1) increase the total number of shares covered by the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, except by adjustments upon certain changes in capitalization; (2) change the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued to any single person; (3) change the class of persons eligible to receive awards under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan; or (4) make other changes in the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan that require stockholder approval under applicable law (including any rules of any applicable stock exchange or stock quotation system of which our shares of Common Stock are traded). Except as otherwise provided in the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan or an Award agreement, no amendment will adversely affect outstanding awards without the consent of the participant. Any termination of the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan will not terminate awards then outstanding, without the consent of the participant.

 

Term of the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. Unless sooner terminated by the Board, the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan will terminate on the day prior to the tenth anniversary of its adoption by the Board. No award may be granted after such termination or during any suspension of the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan.

 

U.S. Tax Treatment. The following description of the federal income tax consequences of awards is general and does not purport to be complete.

 

Incentive Stock Options

 

Generally, a participant incurs no federal income tax liability on either the grant or the exercise of an ISO, although a participant will generally have taxable income for alternative minimum tax purposes at the time of exercise equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares subject to the Option over the exercise price. Provided that the shares are held for at least one year after the date of exercise of the Option and at least two years after its date of grant, any gain realized on a subsequent sale of the shares will be taxed as long-term capital gain. If the shares are disposed of within a shorter period of time, the participant will recognize ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise (or the sale price of the shares sold, if less) over the exercise price. We receive no tax deduction on the grant or exercise of an ISO, but we may be entitled to a tax deduction if the participant recognizes ordinary compensation income on account of a premature disposition of shares acquired on exercise of an ISO, in the same amount and at the same time as the participant recognizes income.

Nonqualified Stock Options

 

A participant realizes no taxable income when a nonqualified stock option is granted. Instead, the difference between the fair market value of the shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Option and the exercise price paid is taxed as ordinary compensation income (subject to employment taxes and withholding) when the Option is exercised. The difference is measured and taxed as of the date of exercise, if the shares are not subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture,” or as of the date or dates on which the risk terminates in other cases. A participant may elect (as described under Restricted Stock below) to be taxed on the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise, even though some or all of the shares acquired are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Once ordinary compensation income is recognized, gain on the subsequent sale of the shares is taxed as short-term or long-term capital gain, depending on the holding period after exercise. We receive no tax deduction on the grant of a nonqualified stock option, but may be entitled to a tax deduction when a participant recognizes ordinary compensation income on or after exercise of the Option, in the same amount as the income recognized by the participant.

 

Stock Grants

 

With respect to stock grants under our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan that are made without any restrictions, a participant generally recognizes ordinary compensation income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares received over the amount paid (if any). We generally will be entitled to a deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary compensation income recognized by a participant.

 

When the stock is subsequently sold, the participant generally will recognize capital gain or loss (short-term or long-term, as applicable) equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the sale of the shares and his or her tax basis (generally the amount paid plus any ordinary compensation income recognized).

 

Restricted Stock

 

If stock is awarded subject to restrictions, a participant generally will not recognize income at the time of the award, but will instead recognize ordinary compensation income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares received over the amount paid (if any) when restrictions on transferability or that otherwise constitute a substantial risk of forfeiture lapse.

 

A participant may elect to be taxed at the time of the receipt of the shares, rather than upon the lapse of restrictions on transferability or substantial risk of forfeiture, but if the participant subsequently forfeits such shares, the participant would not be entitled to any tax deduction for the amount of previously recognized ordinary compensation income (he or she will be entitled to a capital loss for the amount paid (if any) for the shares). The participant must file a so-called Section 83(b) election with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days of the receipt of the shares.

 

We generally will be entitled to a deduction at the time, and in an amount equal to, the ordinary compensation income is recognized by the participant.

 

When the stock is subsequently sold, the participant generally will recognize capital gain or loss (short-term or long-term, as applicable) equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the sale of the shares and his or her tax basis (generally the amount paid plus any ordinary compensation income recognized).

 

Dividends

 

A participant will generally not receive the benefit of dividends prior to the exercise of an option. Unless an election under Section 83(b) of the Code has been made, the full amount of dividends or other distributions of property made with respect to stock awards before the lapse of any applicable restrictions (Restricted Stock) will constitute ordinary compensation income, and we are generally entitled to a deduction at the same time and in the same amount as the income is realized by the participant.

 

10

 

 

Section 162(m) of the Code

 

Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallows an income tax deduction to public companies for compensation in excess of $1,000,000 paid in any year to the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer and the three other most highly compensated executive officers. Recent changes to Section 162(m) of the Code mean that each of these persons for a particular year after 2016 will remain subject to this limit in subsequent years, even if not included in that group for the year. In addition, the performance-based compensation exception, which may have applied to one or more of our outstanding options or other forms of equity award, is no longer available after 2017.

 

Nevertheless, the deductibility of compensation is but one of the critical factors in the design and implementation of any compensation arrangement, and the Compensation Committee and our Board reserve the right to pay nondeductible compensation when appropriate.

 

Israeli Tax Treatment. The following is a summary of the Israeli income tax consequences of certain transactions under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan with regard to the granting of awards to Israeli participants. It is general and does not purport to be comprehensive.

 

Generally, the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the granting of awards to employees, directors and consultants under either Section 102 or Section 3(i) of the ITO. The awards granted under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan to employees and officeholders, who are not controlling shareholders (as defined in the ITO) are subject to the “capital gains tax route” under Section 102 of the ITO (the “Capital Gains Tax Route”), and the awards granted to participants in the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan who do not qualify to receive awards under the Capital Gains Tax Route, including consultants, service providers and controlling shareholders, are subject to Section 3(i) of the ITO.

 

The Capital Gains Tax Route generally provides for a reduced tax rate of 25% on gains realized upon the sale of the award’s underlying shares, subject to the fulfillment of certain procedures and conditions including the deposit of such awards (or shares issued upon their exercise or shares in case restricted stock was granted) for a requisite period of time with a trustee approved by the Israeli Tax Authority (currently, 24 months from the date of grant). Notwithstanding the above, in any event where the exercise price of the underlying shares subject to the awards is less than the fair market value of the underlying shares at the time of grant of the awards (calculated as the average value of a company's shares on the 30 trading days preceding the date of grant), such amount will be deemed ordinary income of the award holder, taxed at the applicable marginal tax rate (up to 50% in 2016) together with health insurance and social security insurance payments, on the date of sale of the underlying shares and/or the date of the release of such underlying shares from trust. In the event the requirements of Section 102 of the ITO for the allocation of awards according to the Capital Gains Tax Route are not met, the benefit attributed to the award holder as a result of the grant of such awards will be taxed as ordinary work income at applicable marginal income tax rates (together with health insurance and social security insurance payments). For as long as the restricted stock or the shares issued upon exercise of awards are registered in the name of the trustee, the voting rights with respect to such shares will remain with the trustee. Under the Capital Gains Tax Route, a company, or its Israeli subsidiary, as the case may be, is generally not entitled to recognize a deduction for Israeli tax purposes on the gain recognized by the award holder upon sale of the shares underlying the awards (except for such amount that will be deemed ordinary income of the award holder as explained above). Our Israeli subsidiary will be required to withhold applicable tax (and social security and national health insurance charges, if applicable) at source on behalf of the award holder and may be required to pay social security and national health insurance charges.

 

Generally, with respect to a holder of an award under Section 3(i) of the ITO that is not registered for trade, the taxable event shall take place on the date of exercise of the award into shares, and the income will be classified as regular employment or work income subject to marginal tax rates (if the participant is an individual) or corporate tax rates (if the participant is a corporation).
