PROPOSAL 2

TO RE-APPOINT MR. CHEN KATZ AND APPOINT MR. AVI RUBINSTEIN, EACH AS A CLASS III

DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY

Background

Under the Companies Law and the Company’s Amended Articles of Association, the management of the Company’s business is vested in the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may exercise all powers and may take all actions that are not specifically granted to our shareholders.

The Company’s Amended Articles of Association provide that the Company may have at least three and not more than twelve directors.

The Company’s Board of Directors currently consists of six (6) directors. The Company’s directors are divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. Each class of directors consists, as practically as possible, of one-third of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors. At each annual general meeting of the Company’s shareholders, the appointment or re-appointment of directors following the expiration of the term of office of the directors of that class of directors is for a term of office that expires as of the date of the third annual general meeting following such appointment or re-appointment. Therefore, at each annual general meeting, the term of office of only one class of directors expires. Each director holds office until the annual general meeting of the Company’s shareholders in which his or her term expires, unless he or she is removed by a vote of 65% of the total voting power of the Company’s shareholders at a general meeting of the Company’s shareholders, provided that such majority constitutes more than 50% of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital, or upon the occurrence of certain events, in accordance with the Companies Law and the Company’s Amended Articles of Association.

Pursuant to regulations under the Companies Law, the board of directors is not required to have external directors if: (i) the company does not have a controlling shareholder (as such term is defined in the Companies Law); (ii) a majority of the directors serving on the board of directors are “independent,” as defined under Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2); and (iii) the company follows Nasdaq Rule 5605(e)(1), which requires that the nomination of directors be made, or recommended to the board of directors, by a Nominating Committee of the board of directors consisting solely of independent directors, or by a majority of independent directors.

On July 22, 2021, the Board approved that the Company meets all the above requirements and therefore has resolved to adopt the corporate governance exemption set forth above, and accordingly as of July 22, 2021, the Company is not required to appoint external directors as such are defined in the Companies Law.

Mr. Rubinstein was appointed by the Board of Directors on October 26, 2021, to serve as a director and member of the Board of Directors until the next annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company.

The Company’s directors are divided among three classes as follows:

1. The Company’s Class I directors are Ms. Rakefet Remigolski and Mr. Yehuda Halfon, whose current terms expire at the Company’s 2023 annual general meeting of shareholders and upon the election and qualification of their respective successors.
2. The Company’s Class II directors are Mr. Shachar Daniel and Mr. Moshe Tal, whose current terms expire at the Company’s 2024 annual general meeting of shareholders and upon the election and qualification of their respective successors; and
3. The Company’s Class III directors are Mr. Chen Katz. and Mr. Avi Rubinstein, whose current terms expire at the Meeting.

The Company’s Board Diversity Matrix pursuant to Nasdaq’s Rule 5605(f) is available on the Company’s website at the following address: https://safetgroup.com/corporate-governance/

The Company’s Board of Directors has approved the nomination of Mr. Katz and Mr. Rubinstein for reappoint ment or appointment, respectively, to the Company’s Board of Directors, each as a Class III director at the Meeting for a three-year term and recommends that shareholders re-appoint Mr. Katz and appoint Mr. Rubinstein, each as a Class III director for a three-year term. Subject to the re-appointment of Mr. Katz as a Class III director at the Meeting, Mr. Katz shall continue to hold the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.

Mr. Katz and Mr. Rubinstein, whose professional backgrounds are provided below, have each advised the Company that they are willing, able and ready to serve as a Class III director if appointed. Additionally, in accordance with the Companies Law, Mr. Katz and Mr. Rubinstein, have each certified to the Company that they meet all the requirements of the Companies Law for appointment as a director of a public company, they possess the necessary qualifications and have sufficient time to fulfill their duties as directors of the Company, taking into account the size and needs of the Company.

In his capacity as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, subject to his re-appointment, Mr. Katz shall continue to be entitled to the terms of compensation as approved by the Company’s shareholders on May 23, 2019.

In his capacity as member of the Company’s Board of Directors, subject to his appointment, Mr. Rubinstein will continue to be entitled to following fees: (i) an annual fee of NIS 30,000 and (ii) an attendance fee of NIS 1,500 per meeting, which amounts are less than the maximum amounts set forth in the second and third appendices of the Companies Regulations (Rules concerning Compensation and Expenses of an External Director), 5760-2000.

Notwithstanding the above mentioned, subject to the approval by the Company’s shareholders of Proposal 5 of the Proxy Statement, as of the date of approval, Mr. Rubinstein shall be entitled to the New Annual Fee and the New Per Meeting Fee, as defined below.

If appointed at the Meeting, the director nominees will continue to benefit from the indemnification and exemption letter agreements that we previously entered into with each of them, as well as from our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, as in effect from time to time.

PROPOSAL 3

TO CHANGE THE COMPANY NAME AND TO AMEND AND RESTATE THE COMPANY’S

AMENDED ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION TO REFLECT THE SAME

In accordance with the provisions of the Companies Law, changing the name of a company requires an amendment to the Company’s Amended Articles of Association, and therefore, is subject to the approval by the Company’s shareholders.

The Company’s business has changed significantly over the last few years. Following the Company’s expansion driven by several growth engines, our Board of Directors believes that the current name no longer represents the Company’s technology portfolio and diversified offerings and that the new name will create a platform to better reflect our current business as a provider of cybersecurity and privacy solutions for consumers and enterprises,
