PROXY STATEMENT

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

We are furnishing this proxy statement to the holders of ordinary shares, no par value, of magicJack VocalTec Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (referred to as “we,” “us” or the “Company”), in connection with the solicitation by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) of proxies for use at an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders and any adjournment or postponement thereof (the “Meeting”). The Meeting will be held on March 19, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. local time at the offices of Bryan Cave LLP, 1290 Avenue of the Americas, 35 ^th Floor, New York, NY 10104.

At the Meeting, you will be asked to consider and approve the following matters (the “Proposals”):

Approval, on a non-binding, advisory basis, of certain compensation that will be paid or may become payable to our named executive officers in connection with the merger (the “Golden Parachute Payments Proposal”); and

The transaction of such other business as may properly come before the Meeting.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE MERGER PROPOSAL, THE CEO COMPENSATION PROPOSAL AND THE GOLDEN PARACHUTE PAYMENTS PROPOSAL.

YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT.

The Board has set February 7, 2018 as the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. On that record date, the Company had 16,189,794 ordinary shares issued and outstanding and eligible to vote at the Meeting. This proxy statement, notice and form of proxy are first being mailed to shareholders on February 9, 2018.

Proxies will be solicited by the Company mainly by mail. Certain officers, directors, employees and agents of the Company, none of whom will receive additional compensation, may solicit proxies by telephone, fax or other personal contact. Additionally, we have engaged a proxy solicitor to assist with the solicitation of proxies and expect that the cost of such proxy solicitor to be approximately $30,000. We will furnish copies of solicitation materials to brokerage firms, nominees, fiduciaries and other custodians for forwarding to their respective principals. We will bear the cost of soliciting proxies, including postage, printing and handling, and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding material to beneficial owners of ordinary shares.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and voting on a given Proposal is necessary for the approval of such Proposal. In addition: (1) with respect to the approval of Proposal 1, the Merger Proposal, abstention votes and votes of Company shares held by Merger Sub, Parent (or any other person who holds 25% or more of the means of control of Merger Sub), or anyone on their behalf (including relatives or corporations controlled by such persons) will be excluded, and (2) the approval of Proposal 2, the CEO Compensation Proposal, is also subject to the fulfillment of one of the following additional voting requirements: (i) the majority of the shares that are voted at the Meeting in favor of Proposal 2, excluding abstentions, must include at least a majority of the votes of shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and do not have a personal interest in the Proposal or (ii) the total number of shares held by the shareholders mentioned in clause (i) above that are voted against the Proposal does not exceed two percent of the aggregate voting rights in the Company.

Under the Companies Law, a personal interest means a personal interest of a person in an act or transaction of a company, including: (i) a personal interest of that person’s relative (which includes for these purposes a person’s spouse, brother or sister, parent, parent’s parent, sibling and any sibling, brother, sister or parent of such person’s spouse, or the spouse of any of the foregoing); or (ii) a personal interest of another entity in which that person or his or her relative holds 5% or more of such entity’s issued shares or voting rights, has the right to appoint a director or the chief executive officer of such entity, or serves as director or chief executive officer of such entity, including the personal interest of a person voting pursuant to a proxy whether or not the proxy grantor has a personal interest. A personal interest resulting merely from holding the Company’s shares will not be deemed a personal interest for purposes of the Companies Law. If you do not state whether you have a personal interest in Proposal 2 by appropriate indication on your proxy card or voting instruction card, you will be deemed to have a personal interest for the purpose of the required vote detailed above and your vote will not be counted with respect to that Proposal.

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 and will not be treated as either a vote “for” or “against” a proposal. Under Israeli law, broker non-votes will not be counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business. All of the Proposals are considered non-routine and brokers or other nominees may vote only those shares for which the beneficial owner has given instructions on how to vote.

This proxy statement provides you with detailed information about the matters on which you are requested to vote your shares. In addition, you may obtain information about the Company from documents filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We encourage you to read the entire proxy statement carefully and to vote your shares.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders to be Held on March 19, 2018: This proxy statement is available at www.vocaltec.com . If you would like to obtain directions to be able to attend the Meeting in person, please call Thomas Fuller, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, at (561) 749-2255.

The Transaction

Q:	What is the Transaction?

The Company, Parent and Merger Sub have entered into the Merger Agreement pursuant to which Parent proposes to acquire all of the outstanding ordinary shares of the Company (other than those held by Parent, Merger Sub and their subsidiaries) as a result of the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”) for $8.71 per share in cash, without interest, which we refer to as the “Per Share Merger Consideration.” The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, are referred to as the “Transaction” for purposes of this proxy statement. The Merger Agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A . We encourage you to review the Merger Agreement in its entirety.

Q:	What will the Company’s shareholders receive when the Transaction occurs?

A:	For every Company ordinary share held at the effective time of the Merger, the Company’s shareholders (other than Parent, Merger Sub and their subsidiaries) will be entitled to receive $8.71 in cash, without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes.

Q:	How does the purchase price compare to the market price of the Company’s ordinary shares?

The purchase price of $8.71 per share to be received by the Company’s shareholders represents a premium of approximately (i) 18.5% over the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on March 14, 2017, the last completed trading day prior to the date that the Company announced that it had received unsolicited indications of interest and would be considering its strategic alternatives, (ii) 23.6% over the 90-day average closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares for the period ended November 7, 2017, and (iii) 54.2% over the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on November 8, 2017, the last completed trading day prior to the Company’s announcement that it entered into the Merger Agreement.

The closing sale price of a Company ordinary share on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on February 6, 2018, which was the last practicable trading day before the date of this proxy statement, was $ 8.38 . You are encouraged to obtain current market quotations for the Company’s ordinary shares in connection with voting your shares.

Q:	When do you expect the Transaction to be completed?

A:	The Transaction is subject to various closing conditions, including Company shareholder approval and regulatory approvals. We hope to complete the Transaction in the first half of 2018.

Q:	What are the other Proposals and how do they relate to the Transaction?

Proposal 2 relates to approving amendments to the employment agreement and the restricted stock agreement of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Don C. Bell III, (i) to allow Mr. Bell to receive certain compensation upon the consummation of the Merger and (ii) to postpone the vesting of the restricted share awards that were previously granted to Mr. Bell and cause such awards to be forfeited upon the consummation of the Merger. These arrangements were approved by our Compensation Committee and our Board on November 7, 2017 contingent upon approval and execution of the Merger Agreement. These arrangements are described in more detail in “The Transaction—Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction—Golden Parachute Compensation—Don C. Bell III Executive Employment Agreement” beginning on page 54 , and under Proposal 2 below.

Proposal 3 relates to approving, on a non-binding, advisory basis, certain compensation that will be paid or may become payable to our named executive officers in connection with or as a result of the Transaction. These arrangements were approved by our Board in connection with its approval of the Merger Agreement or will be made pursuant to existing agreements between the Company and the executives. These arrangements are described in more detail in “The Transaction—Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction—Golden Parachute Compensation” beginning on page 54 , and under Proposal 3 below.

Q:	How does the Board recommend that I vote on the Proposals?

The Board unanimously determined that it is in the best interest of the Company that the Company enter into the Merger Agreement and consummate the Transaction, and unanimously recommends that you vote “ FOR ” the Merger Proposal. You should read the section entitled “The Transaction—Recommendation of the Board; Reasons for the Transaction” beginning on page 38.

The Board also unanimously recommends that you vote “ FOR ” the CEO Compensation Proposal. Please review Proposal 2, below.

The Board also unanimously recommends that you vote “ FOR ” the Golden Parachute Payments Proposal. See “The Transaction—Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction—Golden Parachute Compensation” beginning on page 54 for more information.

Q:	What effects will the Transaction have on the Company?

As a result of the Transaction, the Company will cease to be a standalone public company and will be an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. The Company’s ordinary shares will no longer be publicly traded and will be delisted from the NASDAQ Global Select Market. In addition, the Company’s ordinary shares will be deregistered under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), upon application to the SEC, and we will no longer file periodic reports with the SEC.

Q:	What will happen in the Transaction to the Company’s stock option awards?

With the exception of the options issued to Don C. Bell III, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, each Company stock option, whether or not vested or exercisable, that is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will vest and terminate in its entirety at the effective time. The holder of each such stock option will be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of: (i) the excess of (x) $8.71 over (y) the per share exercise price of such option, multiplied by (ii) the number of ordinary shares underlying each such option, which amount will be paid less any applicable withholding taxes. To the extent any unexpired and outstanding Company stock option has an exercise price that is equal to or greater than the purchase price of $8.71, such option will be cancelled for no consideration. The options issued to Mr. Bell will be cancelled for no consideration effective as of the effective time of the Merger.

Q:	What will happen in the Transaction to the Company’s restricted share awards?

Company restricted share awards outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will become vested as a result of the Merger, only if and to the extent provided by the terms of the award or applicable Company equity plan, and any portion of the award that does not become so vested will be forfeited. Each vested restricted share will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment with respect thereto equal to $8.71 per share, less any applicable withholding taxes.

Q:	Do any of the Company’s directors or executive officers have interests in the Transaction that may differ from those of the Company’s shareholders?

Yes, some of our directors and executive officers may have interests in the Transaction that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of the Company’s shareholders generally. The Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in reaching its decision to approve entry into the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger. See “The Transaction—Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction” beginning on page 52 for a description of such interests.

Q:	What are the material U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Transaction to the Company’s shareholders?

The receipt of cash for Company ordinary shares by U.S. holders (as defined in “The Transaction—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations of the Transaction”) pursuant to the Transaction will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. holder of the Company’s ordinary shares will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount of cash received in the Transaction and (ii) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares. A non-U.S. holder (as defined in “The Transaction—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations of the Transaction”) of the Company’s ordinary shares generally will not be required to pay U.S. federal income tax on the receipt of cash in exchange for the Company’s ordinary shares in the Transaction unless such non-U.S. holder has certain connections to the United States. See “The Transaction—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations of the Transaction” beginning on page 60 for a more detailed discussion of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Transaction.

Shareholders, including non-U.S. shareholders, should consult their own tax advisors to determine the tax consequences to them (including the application and effect of any state, local or non-U.S. income and other tax laws) of the Transaction in light of their particular circumstances.

Q:	How will I be paid the Per Share Merger Consideration for my shares?

On or prior to the closing date of the Merger, Parent or Merger Sub will deposit with a paying agent cash in an amount equal to the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration payable to all shareholders (other than Parent, Merger Sub and their subsidiaries) as of the closing date of the Merger. The paying agent will provide instructions to our shareholders on how to surrender shares for payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration.

Q:	Should I send in my share certificates or other proof of ownership now?

No. The paying agent will provide a letter of transmittal to our shareholders after the effective time of the Merger. The letter will describe how you can surrender your share certificates for the Per Share Merger Consideration. If your shares are held in “street name” by your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, you will receive instructions from them as to how to surrender your “street name” shares in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration. Please do not send in your stock certificates now.

Q:	Am I entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the Transaction?

A:	No. There are no appraisal or similar rights of dissenters under Israeli law, whether you vote for or against the Merger Proposal.

Q:	What happens if I sell my ordinary shares before the Meeting?

The record date for shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting is earlier than the date of the Meeting and the expected closing date of the Merger. If you transfer your ordinary shares of the Company after the record date but before the Meeting, you will, unless special arrangements are made, retain your right to vote at the Meeting but will transfer the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration to the person to whom you transfer your shares.

Q:	What happens if the Merger Proposal is not approved by the Company’s shareholders or if the Transaction is not completed for any other reason?

If the Merger Proposal is not approved by our shareholders or if the Transaction is not completed for any other reason, our shareholders will not receive any payment for their shares in connection with the Transaction. Instead, we will remain a standalone public company, the Company’s ordinary shares will continue to be listed and traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market and registered under the Exchange Act, and we will continue to file periodic reports with the SEC.

The Company will be required to pay Parent a termination fee of $5,738,297 upon the termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, as described under the section entitled “The Agreement and Plan of Merger—Transaction Expenses; Termination Fees—Company Termination Fee” beginning on page 75.

The Meeting

Q:	When and where is the Meeting?

A:	The Meeting will be held at 10:00 a.m., local time, on March 19, 2018 at the offices of Bryan Cave LLP, 1290 Avenue of the Americas, 35 ^th Floor, New York, NY 10104.

Q:	What quorum and shareholder vote are required to approve the Proposals?

A quorum is required for the transaction of business at the Meeting. Two or more shareholders, present in person or by proxy and holding shares conferring in the aggregate not less than one-third of the voting power of the Company as of the record date of February 7, 2018 will constitute a quorum. Each Company share is entitled to one vote on each Proposal.

Approval of Proposal 1, the Merger Proposal, requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and voting (excluding abstentions, and excluding the votes of Company shares held by Merger Sub, Parent (or any other any person who holds 25% or more of the means of control of Merger Sub), or anyone on their behalf (including relatives or corporations controlled by such persons)) on Proposal 1.

Approval of Proposal 2, the CEO Compensation Proposal, requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and voting (excluding abstentions) on Proposal 2.

In addition, the approval of Proposal 2 requires that either of the following two voting conditions be met as part of the approval by a majority of shares present and voting thereon:

the majority voted in favor includes a majority of the shares held by non-controlling shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the approval of Proposal 2 that are voted at the Meeting, excluding abstentions; or

the total number of shares held by non-controlling, disinterested shareholders (as described in the previous bullet-point) that are voted against approval of Proposal 2 does not exceed two percent of the aggregate voting rights in the Company.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and voting (excluding abstentions) on Proposal 3, the Golden Parachute Payments Proposal, is necessary for the approval of Proposal 3.

Under Israeli law, abstentions are counted in determining whether a quorum is present, but will not be counted in connection with the vote on any Proposal.

Q:	How can I vote?

Shareholders of record at the record date of February 7, 2018 may vote by personally attending the Meeting or attending by proxy, by completing and returning a proxy card. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will be able to exercise your vote through such organization by completing a voting instruction form in accordance with the procedures issued by such organization. “Street name” holders may be able to submit their voting instructions to their bank, broker or other nominee by telephone or through the Internet.

The method by which shareholders of record vote will in no way limit the right to vote at the Meeting if such shareholders later decide to attend in person. If shares are held in “street name,” beneficial holders must vote in accordance with the instructions received from their bank, broker or other nominee.

Any shares entitled to vote and represented by properly completed proxy received prior to the Meeting and that is not revoked either (i) more than two hours prior to the Meeting by a properly executed proxy delivered to the Company or (ii) at the Meeting by your participation in person, provided that you are a registered shareholder, will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with your instructions. If a signed proxy card is returned without indicating how shares should be voted on a matter and the proxy is not revoked, the shares represented by such proxy will be voted as the Board recommends and, therefore, “FOR” the approval of the Merger Proposal and each of the other Proposals.

Q:	What do I do if I receive more than one proxy card or set of voting instructions?

If you hold shares in “street name”, directly as a record holder or otherwise, you may receive more than one proxy card and/or set of voting instructions relating to the Meeting. If more than one proxy card is received, you should vote and return each proxy card separately in accordance with the applicable voting instructions and this proxy statement in order to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

Q:	If my ordinary shares are held in “street name” by my bank, broker or other nominee, will they vote my shares for me?

Your broker, bank or nominee will not be able to vote any of your shares without instructions from you. The vote on each of the Proposals is considered a “non-routine” matter, and your bank, broker or other nominee is not permitted to exercise discretion to vote your ordinary shares. If you hold your ordinary shares in “street name,” you should follow the procedures provided by your bank, broker or other nominee regarding how to instruct them to vote your shares. Typically, you would submit your voting instructions by mail, by telephone or through the Internet in accordance with the procedures provided by your bank, broker or other nominee. Without instructions, your shares will not be voted.

Q:	How are votes counted?

You may vote FOR or AGAINST each of the Proposals, or you may abstain from voting on each of the Proposals. Abstentions will not be counted as votes cast or shares voting on the proposal, but will count for the purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. Pursuant to Israeli law, broker non-votes will not be counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business and, therefore, will not be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present or approval is obtained with respect to any Proposal.

Q:	Can I revoke or change my vote?

Purpose

The purpose of the Meeting is to consider and vote upon the proposal to approve the Merger Agreement in connection with the Transaction and the related proposals to approve the amendments to the employment agreement and restricted stock agreement of Don C. Bell III, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and to approve the related change in control payments to named executive officers as required under SEC rules. The Board recommends that its shareholders vote “ FOR ” each of the Proposals.

Record Date and Quorum

The record date for determining the shareholders who are entitled to vote at the Meeting is February 7, 2018.

A quorum is required for the transaction of business at the Meeting. The presence, in person or by proxy, at the Meeting of two or more shareholders holding not less than one-third of the outstanding ordinary shares of the Company held by all shareholders as of the record date of February 7, 2018 will constitute a quorum. Parent, Merger Sub and their subsidiaries will not be entitled to vote at the Meeting.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of shareholders present and voting, either in person or by proxy at the Meeting, representing not less than a majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting, is required for the approval of the Merger Proposal and for the approval of each of the other Proposals. In addition: (1) with respect to the approval of Proposal 1, the Merger Proposal, abstention votes and votes of Company shares held by Merger Sub, Parent (or any other any person who holds 25% or more of the means of control of Merger Sub), or anyone on their behalf (including relatives or corporations controlled by such persons) will be excluded, and (2) the approval of Proposal 2, the CEO Compensation Proposal, is also subject to the fulfillment of one of the following additional voting requirements: (i) the majority of the shares that are voted at the Meeting in favor of Proposal 2, excluding abstentions, must include at least a majority of the votes of shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and do not have a personal interest in the Proposal or (ii) the total number of shares held by the shareholders mentioned in clause (i) above that are voted against the Proposal does not exceed two percent of the aggregate voting rights in the Company.

Pursuant to Israeli law, broker non-votes will not be counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business and, therefore, will not be counted for the purpose of determining whether a Proposal has been approved. Under Israeli law, abstentions are counted in determining whether a quorum is present, but will not be counted in connection with the vote on any Proposal.

Recommendation of the Board

After careful consideration, the Board unanimously determined that it is in the best interest of the Company that the Company enter into the Merger Agreement and consummate the Transaction, and unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of the Merger Proposal and the other two Proposals which are related to the Transaction.

The Agreement and Plan of Merger

Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company in accordance with the provisions of Sections 314-327 of the Companies Law 5759-1999 and of the Israeli Companies Regulations (Merger), 5760-2000 of the State of Israel (together with the rules and regulations promulgated under the Companies Law 5759-1999, the “ICL”) and as a result thereof, the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease and the Company will be the surviving corporation in the Transaction (the “Surviving Corporation”) and will (a) become a private and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, (b) continue to be governed by the Laws of the State of Israel, (c) maintain a registered office in the State of Israel, and (d) succeed to and assume all of the rights, properties and obligations of Merger Sub and the Company in accordance with the ICL.

Treatment of the Company’s Stock Options and Restricted Stock in the Transaction

Stock Options

Each Company stock option, whether or not vested or exercisable, that is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will, at the effective time, become fully vested, to the extent not previously vested, and will automatically be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment in an amount to be paid or to be caused to be paid by the Surviving Corporation equal to the product of: (i) the excess of (x) $8.71 over (y) the per share exercise price of such option, and (ii) the number of ordinary shares underlying each such option, which amount will be paid to such holder less any applicable withholding taxes. To the extent any unexpired and outstanding Company stock option has an exercise price that is equal to or greater than $8.71, such options will be terminated immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, and the holder thereof will not be entitled to consideration in connection with such cancellation. The only exception to this treatment of stock options is for the options held by Don C. Bell III, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Bell’s options will be cancelled as of the consummation of the Merger and Mr. Bell will receive no further consideration in connection with such cancellation.

Restricted Shares

Company restricted share awards outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will become vested as a result of the Merger, only if and only to the extent provided by the terms of the award or applicable Company equity plan, and any portion of the award that does not become so vested will be forfeited. Each vested restricted share will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment with respect thereto equal to $8.71 per share, less any applicable withholding taxes.

Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction

You should be aware that some directors and executive officers of the Company may have interests in the Transaction that are different from, or are in addition to, the interests of shareholders generally.

Termination of the Merger Agreement

The Merger Agreement and the Transaction may be abandoned at any time prior to the effective time of the Merger upon the mutual written agreement of the parties or at the option of either the Company or Parent if:

the closing of the Transaction does not occur on or before August 9, 2018 (the “End Date”), except that (i) under certain circumstances, the End Date may be automatically extended to November 9, 2018; and (ii) a party may not terminate under this provision if such party’s breach or failure to perform or comply with any obligation under the Merger Agreement resulted in or was a proximate cause of the failure of the Transaction to be completed on or before the End Date;

a governmental entity of competent jurisdiction shall have enacted or issued any order or law permanently enjoining, restraining, prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the Transaction, and is final and nonappealable; provided that a party may not terminate under this provision if such party’s breach or failure to perform or comply with any obligation under the Merger Agreement resulted in or was a proximate cause of such government action, or if such party seeking to terminate the Merger Agreement has not complied with its obligations under the Merger Agreement to have any such government action removed; or

Parent may terminate the Merger Agreement:

if the Company breaches any of its covenants, representations or warranties in a manner that causes the closing conditions regarding its representations, warranties and covenants not to be satisfied and such violation or breach has not been expressly waived in writing by Parent, Parent has provided written notice of its intent to terminate to the Company and such violation or breach may not be cured by the End Date or, to the extent curable, has not been cured within the earlier of a 30-day cure period or three business days prior to the End Date, provided that neither Parent nor Merger Sub has materially breached the Merger Agreement; or

in the event that (a) the Board has effected a Company adverse recommendation change (as defined in the Merger Agreement and summarized in “The Transaction—Recommendation of the Board; Reasons for the Transaction” beginning on page 38 of this proxy statement) or (b) at any time following receipt of an acquisition proposal, the Board fails to reaffirm its approval or recommendation of the Merger Proposal within five business days of receipt of written request to do so from Parent.

The Company may terminate the Merger Agreement if:

Parent or Merger Sub breaches any of their respective covenants, representations or warranties in a manner that causes the closing conditions regarding such representations, warranties and covenants not to be satisfied and such violation or breach has not been expressly waived in writing by the Company, the Company has provided written notice of its intent to terminate to Parent and such violation or breach may not be cured by the End Date or, to the extent curable, has not been cured within the earlier of a 30-day cure period or three business days prior to the End Date, provided that the Company has not materially breached the Merger Agreement; or

prior to obtaining approval of the Merger Proposal, in response to a superior proposal that was not solicited in material violation of the Merger Agreement, the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to an acquisition proposal that the Company has concluded constitutes a superior proposal, provided that the Company pays to Parent the termination fee.

For a discussion of the termination of the Merger Agreement, see “The Agreement and Plan of Merger—Termination of the Merger Agreement” beginning on page 74.

Termination Fees

The Company will be required to pay Parent a termination fee of $5,738,297 if the Merger Agreement is terminated following the Board’s withdrawal of its recommendation of the Transaction or the Company terminates the Merger Agreement to accept a superior proposal, and in certain other circumstances.

For a discussion of the termination fees see “The Agreement and Plan of Merger—Transaction Expenses; Termination Fees—Company Termination Fee” beginning on page 75.

Financing of the Transaction

The Transaction is not subject to a financing condition.

Delisting and Deregistration of the Company’s Ordinary Shares

Following the Merger, the Company’s shares will be delisted from the NASDAQ Global Select Market, will be deregistered under the Exchange Act and will cease to be publicly traded.

Expenses

All fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement and the Transaction will be paid by the party incurring such fees and expenses whether or not the Transaction is completed, except that Parent was responsible for all filing fees paid under the HSR Act.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations of the Transaction

The receipt of cash for Company ordinary shares by U.S. holders pursuant to the Transaction will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. holder of Company ordinary shares will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (1) the amount of cash received in the Transaction and (2) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares. A non-U.S. holder of Company ordinary shares generally will not be required to pay U.S. federal income tax on the receipt of cash in exchange for Company ordinary shares in the Transaction unless such holder has certain connections to the United States. Holders, including non-U.S. holders, should consult their tax advisors to determine the particular tax consequences to them (including the application and effect of any state, local or non-U.S. income and other tax laws) of the Transaction. See “The Transaction—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations of the Transaction” beginning on page 60.

Regulatory Matters

Antitrust Approvals

The Transaction is subject to certain antitrust laws. The Company and B. Riley made certain filings pursuant to the HSR Act with the United States Department of Justice Antitrust Division, which we refer to as the “DOJ,” and the United States Federal Trade Commission, which we refer to as the “FTC.” Under the HSR Act, the Transaction cannot be completed until the expiration or termination of the initial waiting period or any extension thereof following the submission of complete filings with the DOJ and FTC. The applicable waiting period under the HSR Act expired on January 16, 2018 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time.

FCC and State Approvals

A condition to closing is that all required authorizations, approvals, clearances and consents or filings with the Federal Communications Commission, which we refer to as the “FCC,” and similar state regulators have been obtained or made. The Company has begun the process of making these filings and seeking these approvals.

Purpose of the Meeting

The purpose of the Meeting is to consider and vote upon the Merger Proposal and the other Proposals in connection with the Transaction. The Board recommends that its shareholders vote “ FOR ” the approval of the Merger Proposal and each other Proposal.

Persons Entitled to Vote; Quorum; Vote Required

The record date for determining the shareholders who are entitled to vote at the Meeting is February 7, 2018.

The presence, in person or by proxy, at the Meeting of two or more shareholders holding not less than one-third of the outstanding Company ordinary shares held by all shareholders of record as of February 7, 2018 will constitute a quorum, which is necessary to hold the Meeting. Abstentions are counted in determining whether a quorum is present, but will not be counted in connection with the vote for the Merger Proposal or for the approval of each of the other Proposals.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and voting on a given Proposal is necessary for the approval of such Proposal. In addition: (1) with respect to the approval of Proposal 1, the Merger Proposal, votes of Company shares held by Merger Sub, Parent (or any other any person who holds 25% or more of the means of control of Merger Sub), or anyone on their behalf (including relatives or corporations controlled by such persons) will be excluded, and (2) the approval of Proposal 2, the CEO Compensation Proposal, is also subject to the fulfillment of one of the following additional voting requirements: (i) the majority of the shares that are voted at the Meeting in favor of Proposal 2, must include at least a majority of the votes of shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and do not have a personal interest in the Proposal or (ii) the total number of shares held by the shareholders mentioned in clause (i) above that are voted against the Proposal does not exceed two percent of the aggregate voting rights in the Company.

Under the Companies Law, a personal interest means a personal interest of a person in an act or transaction of a company, including: (i) a personal interest of that person’s relative (which includes for these purposes any members of his/her (or his/her spouse’s) immediate family or the spouses of any such members of his or her (or his/her spouse’s) immediate family); or (ii) a personal interest of another entity in which that person or his or her relative holds 5% or more of such entity’s issued shares or voting rights, has the right to appoint a director or the chief executive officer of such entity, or serves as director or chief executive officer of such entity, including the personal interest of a person voting pursuant to a proxy whether or not the proxy grantor has a personal interest. A personal interest resulting merely from holding the Company’s shares will not be deemed a personal interest for purposes of the Companies Law. If you do not state whether you have a personal interest in Proposal 2 by appropriate indication on your proxy card or voting instruction card, you will be deemed to have a personal interest for the purpose of the required vote detailed above and your vote will not be counted with respect to Proposal 2.

As of February 7, 2018, there were 16,189,794 outstanding Company ordinary shares.

Proxies and Voting Procedures

If you are a shareholder, you can vote your ordinary shares by completing and returning a proxy card, which when properly executed and received by us, will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the shareholders’ instructions set forth in the proxy card. If you hold your ordinary shares in “street name,” please vote in accordance with the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee. “Street name” holders, or beneficial owners holding through a broker, bank or other nominee, may also vote by telephone or by Internet, in accordance with instructions provided by their broker, bank or other nominee. All shares entitled to vote and represented by properly completed proxies received prior to the Meeting and not revoked will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with your instructions. If you are a shareholder of record and you return a signed proxy card without indicating how your shares should be voted on a matter and do not revoke your proxy, the shares represented by your proxy will be voted as the Board recommends, and therefore, “FOR” the approval of the Merger Proposal and each of the other Proposals.

Any shareholder entitled to vote at the Meeting has the right to revoke his or her proxy at any time prior to voting at the Meeting by (i) submitting a subsequently dated proxy, which, if not delivered in person at the Meeting, must be received by us no later than two hours before the appointed time of the Meeting or (ii) by attending the Meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy; you must vote in person at the Meeting in order to revoke or change your vote. If you hold shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee and would like to change your vote instruction, you should follow the directions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee. Most organizations provide means by which “street name” holders may vote by telephone or by Internet, as well as by signing and returning voting instructions.

If the Meeting is postponed or adjourned, your proxy will remain valid and may be voted at the postponed or adjourned meeting. You still will be able to revoke your proxy until it is voted.

Validly completed proxies received at any time before the Meeting, and not revoked or superseded before being voted, will be voted at the Meeting. A validly completed proxy will be voted in accordance with the instructions, if any, provided therein. A validly signed proxy card that does not specify a vote with respect to any Proposal will be voted “FOR” that Proposal.

If you hold certificated shares, please do not send in your share certificates with your proxy card . Shareholders will be notified of the procedures to submit share certificates after the Merger is consummated.

Mailing of Proxy Statement

This proxy statement, including the Notice, was first mailed to shareholders on or about February 9 , 2018.

Registered Office

The mailing address of our registered office is 12 Haomanut Street, 2 ^nd Floor, Poleg Industrial Area, Netanya, Israel 42504.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

If a shareholder abstains from voting, or if brokers, banks or other nominees holding their customers’ shares of record cause abstentions to be recorded, those shares are considered present and entitled to be voted at the Meeting, and, therefore, are considered for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. A “broker non-vote” is treated as neither being present nor entitled to vote on the relevant Proposal and, therefore, is not counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present or a Proposal has been approved. Each of the Proposals, including the Merger Proposal, is considered a “non-routine” matter, and if you are a “street name” holder, your broker will not have the authority to vote your shares for or against any proposal without your instruction.

Adjournments

Should no quorum be present 30 minutes after the time scheduled for the Meeting, the Meeting will be adjourned to the same day for one week later and will be held at the same place and time on March 26, 2018. At such adjourned meeting, the presence, in person or by proxy, of two or more shareholders holding not less than one-third of the outstanding Company ordinary shares held by all shareholders as of record as of February 7, 2018 will constitute a quorum.

Cost of Proxy Distribution and Solicitation

We will pay the expenses of the solicitation of proxies from our shareholders. Proxies may be solicited on our behalf in person or by mail, telephone, e-mail, facsimile or other electronic means by our directors, officers or employees, who will receive no additional compensation for soliciting. In addition, we have engaged Saratoga Proxy Consulting, LLC to assist in the solicitation of proxies and to provide related informational support, for a fee of approximately $30,000 plus reimbursement of reasonable expenses. In accordance with the regulations of the SEC and NASDAQ rules, we will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their expenses incurred in sending proxies and proxy materials to beneficial owners of our shares.

THE TRANSACTION

The following is a description of the material aspects of the Transaction. While we believe that the following description covers the material terms of the Transaction, the description may not contain all of the information that is important to you. We encourage you to read carefully this entire proxy statement, including the Merger Agreement, attached to this proxy statement as Annex A , for a more complete understanding of the Transaction.

Background of the Transaction

The Board and the Company’s management regularly review the Company’s operating and strategic plans, both near-term and long-term, as well as potential partnerships in an effort to enhance shareholder value. These reviews and discussions focus, among other things, on the opportunities and risks associated with the Company’s business and financial condition, strategic relationships and other strategic opportunities.

On April 30, 2015, the Board engaged Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“BofA Merrill Lynch”) to act as financial advisor to the Company in connection with a potential transaction involving the Company. Between April 2015 and July 2015, at the direction of the Board, BofA Merrill Lynch contacted 35 potential strategic and financial buyers regarding a possible sale of the Company. Confidentiality agreements were executed with 10 potential buyers and management presentations were provided to nine interested parties. On July 15, 2015, the Company received indications of interest from two potential bidders. The highest indication of interest was at $8.00 per ordinary share, all cash. The Board reviewed the highest indication of interest and determined not to pursue a transaction at that price. The Board resolved that the Company should instead move forward with the Board’s strategic plan to increase shareholder value through possible growth initiatives and re-consider a transaction process at a later date.

At the beginning of July 2016, Carnegie Technologies Holdings, LLC (“Carnegie”) contacted the Company to express its interest in exploring a strategic transaction with the Company, including the acquisition of one or more of the Company’s businesses or the Company as a whole. Subsequently, senior officers of the Company attended an informal meeting with Carnegie in New York to discuss the possibility of a strategic transaction. On July 20, 2016, Carnegie sent a letter to the Company indicating it was interested in acquiring all of the outstanding ordinary shares of the Company for a price between $8.00 and $10.00 per ordinary share, all cash, subject to certain conditions regarding the outcome of the due diligence review and the negotiation of definitive agreements. Additionally, further negotiations were conditioned on the Company granting Carnegie a 45-day exclusivity period.

On July 25, 2016, the Board received an unsolicited indication of interest from a third party (“Bidder A”) in the range of $7.50 to $8.00 per ordinary share, all cash.

On August 1, 2016, in response to the Board’s request for a narrower price range, Carnegie sent a letter to the Company further indicating its interest in acquiring all of the outstanding ordinary shares of the Company at a proposed price range of $8.50 to $9.50 per ordinary share, all cash.

On August 12, 2016, the Company sent Carnegie a letter in response informing it that the Board had rejected the proposal contained in its letter of August 1, 2016, but indicating that the Company would be interested in pursuing further negotiations and proposing that the parties enter into a customary confidentiality agreement to facilitate such discussions.

On August 12, 2016, the Company responded to Bidder A informing it that the offer was inadequate, but that the Board would consider an offer with a substantially increased purchase price.

On August 15, 2016, the Company entered into a confidentiality agreement with Carnegie to facilitate further discussions and more substantive due diligence regarding a proposed acquisition.

On August 23, 2016, the Board met to discuss, among other matters, the status of the negotiations with Carnegie.

On August 25, 2016, the Board received a revised unsolicited indication of interest from Bidder A stating that Bidder A believed it could “obtain a value range” for the purchase of the Company of $7.50 to $10.00 per ordinary share, all cash.

Also on August 25, 2016, the Company announced that the 2016 annual general meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing directors (the “2016 Annual Meeting”) would be held on October 7, 2016. On August 29, 2016, the Company received notice from Kanen Wealth Management LLC (“Kanen”), then a greater than 5% shareholder of the Company, that Kanen intended to nominate a competing slate of directors, which slate included Alan B. Howe. The Company issued a press release on September 1, 2016, to disclose Kanen’s competing slate and announce the postponement of the 2016 Annual Meeting pending negotiations with Kanen. The details surrounding this process were disclosed by the Company in its definitive proxy statement for the 2016 Annual Meeting filed with the SEC on March 15, 2017.

On September 1, 2016, the Board received a revised unsolicited verbal offer from Bidder A of approximately $10.00 per ordinary share, all cash. On September 7, 2016, the Company entered into a confidentiality agreement with Bidder A to facilitate further discussions regarding a proposed acquisition.

On September 12, 2016, after further discussions between the Company and Carnegie and Carnegie’s performance of due diligence on the Company (including several meetings with senior management), Carnegie sent a letter of intent to the Company communicating its offer to acquire all of the ordinary shares of the Company for $8.50 per ordinary share, all cash. Further negotiations were again conditioned on the Company granting Carnegie an exclusivity period, in this case terminating on November 6, 2016. On September 16, 2016, Carnegie sent an updated letter of intent with respect to the proposed transaction containing additional details and maintaining an $8.50 per ordinary share offer price, subject to an exclusivity period terminating November 11, 2016.

On September 22, 2016, the Board met to discuss, among other matters, Carnegie’s proposal and determined that a counteroffer to Carnegie at $10.00 per ordinary share was appropriate. Notwithstanding the Company’s counteroffer, on September 29, 2016, Carnegie sent an updated letter of intent to the Company generally confirming the terms of its prior letter (including the previous $8.50 per ordinary share offer price), which contemplated that a definitive agreement would include a 45-day go shop provision. On the same date, the Board met to discuss, among other matters, the letter from Carnegie and the progress of negotiations with Bidder A. The Board determined to not pursue a transaction with Carnegie at a price of $8.50 per ordinary share.

On October 6, 2016, the Company received a written offer from Bidder A for $9.30 per ordinary share, all cash.

On October 10, 2016, the Board determined that it would be appropriate to again counter the offer received from Carnegie at $10.00 per ordinary share and give Carnegie a short period to respond. The Board also discussed the revised offer from Bidder A of $9.30 per ordinary share and determined to counter this offer at $10.00 per ordinary share. Following the meeting, the Company sent a letter to Carnegie countering the offer made in Carnegie’s letter of September 29, 2016 with, among other things, a purchase price of $10.00 per ordinary share and an exclusivity period terminating on November 7, 2016.

On October 13, 2016, the Board received a counteroffer from Bidder A of $9.50 per ordinary share, all cash. On October 15, 2016, the Board met to discuss the offer from Bidder A of $9.50 per ordinary share and decided to move forward with due diligence with Bidder A in connection with a possible transaction. The Board also discussed negotiations with Carnegie and noted that Carnegie had informed the Company that it was not willing to increase its offer above $8.50 per ordinary share.

On October 19, 2016, the Company entered into an exclusivity agreement with Bidder A, terminating on November 14, 2016, regarding a possible acquisition of the Company and due diligence with respect to the Company by Bidder A.

Between October 18, 2016 and November 14, 2016, the Company responded to extensive due diligence inquiries from Bidder A and negotiated the terms of a merger agreement to be executed by the Company and Bidder A if Bidder A decided to move forward with the transaction.

On November 7, 2016, the Board discussed, among other things, the progress of Bidder A’s due diligence efforts and negotiation of the merger agreement.

On November 14, 2016, the exclusivity period with Bidder A ended.

On November 15, 2016, the Board discussed the fact that Bidder A had missed the November 14, 2016 deadline for finalizing the terms of the merger agreement as set forth in the exclusivity agreement, but had requested an extension of the exclusivity period. The Board directed management to negotiate an extension of the deadline in the exclusivity agreement, either formally or informally, for an additional two weeks until November 29, 2016, however, no agreement relating to extension of the exclusivity period was reached between the Company and Bidder A.

On November 29, 2016, the Board discussed the fact that the Company and Bidder A had not entered into a definitive agreement by the November 29, 2016 deadline and discussed how to move forward. Bidder A failed to produce an unconditional financing commitment by this deadline and, consequently, the Company ceased active discussions with Bidder A until such time as Bidder A would be in a position to provide such commitment.

On January 4, 2017, Carnegie contacted the Company to express its displeasure that the Company had not entered into a strategic transaction. On January 5, 2017, Carnegie issued a press release announcing its intent to nominate a slate of competing directors for election to the Board at the 2016 Annual Meeting, which had not yet been rescheduled following Kanen’s director proposal. On January 6, 2017, the Company issued a press release and filed a Form 8-K with the SEC acknowledging receipt of Carnegie’s director proposal. Carnegie was subsequently notified by counsel to the Company that the Company would be required to disclose its negotiations with Carnegie in the Company’s proxy statement for the annual meeting due to Carnegie’s director proposal. From January 9, 2017 through March 30, 2017, the Company and Carnegie addressed Carnegie’s director proposal through SEC filings and litigation in Israel. Meanwhile, the Company reached an agreement with Kanen pursuant to which Kanen withdrew its competing slate of directors and the Company agreed to nominate one of Kanen’s director nominees, Alan B. Howe, and a new director nominee, Don C. Bell III. On March 30, 2017, Carnegie agreed to withdraw its competing slate of directors. The 2016 Annual Meeting was finally held on April 19, 2017.

Meanwhile, on January 9, 2017, the Company received an unsolicited indication of interest from a third party (“Bidder B”) to acquire the Company for a purchase price of $9.50 per ordinary share, all cash, which was in excess of the $8.50 price previously offered by Carnegie. On January 31, 2017, Bidder B provided the Company with a letter from a third party potentially interested in financing Bidder B’s proposed acquisition of the Company, subject to satisfactory completion of due diligence. On February 2, 2017, the Company entered into a confidentiality agreement with Bidder B to facilitate further discussions regarding a proposed acquisition and on February 6, 2017, Bidder B commenced due diligence on the Company.

On February 8, 2017, at the instruction of the Board, representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch reached out to Carnegie’s financial advisor to again inquire whether Carnegie intended to submit a renewed offer to acquire the Company and to indicate that the Board remained open to reviewing any such offer. On February 13, 2017, Carnegie’s financial advisor communicated to BofA Merrill Lynch that Carnegie was interested in engaging in transaction discussions with the Company and wished to refresh its prior due diligence review. On February 15, 2017, Carnegie submitted a due diligence request list to the Company. On February 21, 2017, in connection with Carnegie’s due diligence of the Company, Company counsel sent a letter agreement to Carnegie’s counsel seeking to modify the existing confidentiality agreement between Carnegie and the Company. On February 23, 2017, Carnegie and the Company entered into a letter agreement, modifying the existing confidentiality agreement between the parties. The letter agreement provided that Carnegie may use any confidential information obtained from the Company through its due diligence solely for the purpose of evaluating a transaction with the Company, and not for any purposes related to Carnegie’s proxy contest in connection with the 2016 annual general meeting.

On February 22, 2017, Bidder A informed the Company that it had secured committed financing for its proposal to acquire the Company at a price of $9.50 per ordinary share.

On March 2, 2017, the Company received an unsolicited indication of interest from another third party (“Bidder C”) to acquire the Company for a purchase price in the range of $9.00 to $9.50 per ordinary share, all cash, which was in excess of the $8.50 price previously offered by Carnegie.

On March 3, 2017, Bidder A provided the Company with copies of debt and equity commitments it had received for financing its proposal to acquire the Company at a price of $9.50 per ordinary share. Bidder A further proposed entering into a five-day exclusivity period with the Company in order to conduct legal due diligence and finalize definitive documentation regarding the proposed acquisition.

On March 6, 2017, the Board met to discuss the status of outstanding offers from Bidder A, Bidder B and Bidder C. The Board determined to continue to consider these offers while resolving the then outstanding issues relating to the election of directors.

On March 9, 2017, the Company appointed Don C. Bell III, then a director nominee of the Company, as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Thomas Fuller as the Executive Vice President of Finance of the Company.

On March 12, 2017, the Board met to further discuss the Company’s strategic alternatives. Mr. Bell was present at the meeting and participated in the discussion. After discussion, the Board determined that it would be in the best interest of the Company to conduct a fresh review of potential strategic alternatives, while at the same time pursuing an aggressive organic growth strategy, and to publicly announce its intent to pursue this dual strategy. The Board engaged Bryan Cave LLP (“Bryan Cave”) as legal advisor and BofA Merrill Lynch continued to act as financial advisor pursuant to the terms of its April 30, 2015 engagement letter.

On March 14, 2017, the Board formed a committee consisting of Izhak Gross and Richard Harris, independent directors of the Company, to work with Mr. Bell (the “Committee”) to oversee on behalf of the Board the strategic alternatives process, with the assistance of the Company’s financial and legal advisors. On March 15, 2017, the Company announced the Board’s strategic alternatives process and dual track strategy.

Between March 14, 2017 and March 27, 2017, the Company negotiated and entered into a confidentiality agreement with Bidder C which contained a standstill provision. The standstill provision allowed Bidder C to communicate exclusively with the Board with respect to a potential acquisition of the Company and with respect to a waiver of any of its standstill obligations. The standstill provision included a “fall-away” of obligations to the Company in the event that the Company entered into a definitive agreement for its acquisition with a third party.

On March 17, 2017, the Company’s new management team and representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch met with Bidder C.

On March 22, 2017, the Company’s new management team met with each of Bidder A and Bidder B. Representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch attended these meetings.

Between March 22, 2017 and April 6, 2017, the Company negotiated and entered into a new confidentiality agreement with Bidder B which contained a standstill provision similar to the provision contained in the agreement with Bidder C. On April 7, 2017, the Company entered into a confidentiality agreement with another potential bidder which contained a standstill provision similar to the provisions contained in the confidentiality agreements with Bidder B and Bidder C.

On March 30, 2017, the Company and representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch discussed the transaction process with counsel for Bidder A’s equity sponsor.

On April 19, 2017, Mr. Howe and Mr. Bell were elected to join the Board at the 2016 Annual Meeting.

Prior to Mr. Howe’s election to the Board, he had one or two informal conversations with Kenny Young, the Chief Executive Officer of B. Riley Principal Investments, a wholly-owned subsidiary of B. Riley, about B. Riley’s potential interest in the transaction process. Mr. Howe and Mr. Young are professional acquaintances and have served together (and continue to serve together) on boards of directors of other companies. Additionally, between December 2009 and December 2012, Mr. Howe was a managing director of B. Riley & Co., LLC in its Corporate Governance Advisory Services Group.

From April 19, 2017 to April 21, 2017, pursuant to discussions with members of the Board, representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch engaged with Bidder A concerning the new transaction process and requesting a new confidentiality agreement prepared by counsel to the Company with a standstill provision similar to that of the confidentiality agreements with Bidder B and Bidder C.

On April 25, 2017, the Committee held a telephonic meeting at which Company management discussed the Company’s five-year financial plan for 2017 through 2021.

On May 4, 2017, at the direction of the Board, BofA Merrill Lynch began approaching potential bidders regarding a sale of the entire Company as well as a potential sale of Broadsmart, a business segment of the Company. Between May 5, 2017 and May 9, 2017, BofA Merrill Lynch contacted a total of 40 financial and strategic buyers.

On May 8, 2017, the Committee held a telephonic meeting at which representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch were present.

Representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch provided the Board with an update on the transaction process and a summary of conversations to date with potential bidders. They also led the Board through a financial discussion of publicly available information and Company management’s five-year financial plan for 2017 through 2021, which was approved for BofA Merrill Lynch’s use by the Board. The Board and its advisors discussed the various potential strategic alternatives that might be available to the Company.

After the Board meeting, Mr. Howe suggested to the representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch that B. Riley be contacted in connection with the transaction process to see if it would be interested in participating and, on May 13, 2017, Mr. Howe introduced Mr. Young to BofA Merrill Lynch via e mail.

The Committee discussed these matters.

During the period from May 18, 2017 through June 6, 2017, the Company entered into confidentiality agreements with eight potential bidders, including B. Riley, all of which contained standstill provisions. Each standstill provision was similar to that of the confidentiality agreements with Bidder B and Bidder C, except that one agreement did not contain the “fall away” provision in the event the Company entered into a definitive agreement for its acquisition with another entity. The other 27 parties contacted by BofA Merrill Lynch expressed no interest in pursuing a transaction. The parties that entered into confidentiality agreements (including those that entered into confidentiality agreements prior to this period) included six potential financial sponsor acquirers, including Bidder A and Bidder C, and seven potential strategic acquirers, including B. Riley and Bidder B.

From May 22, 2017 through June 7, 2017, the 13 potential bidders who had executed confidentiality agreements up to this point participated in meetings with Company management, which were also attended by representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch. During this period, potential bidders were provided with access to the data room to commence or continue diligence of the Company. Company management and BofA Merrill Lynch, on behalf of the Company, responded to various diligence requests.

On May 22, 2017, the Board held a telephonic meeting, at which Mr. Bell and Mr. Howe were approved as additional members of the Committee.

On June 9, 2017, at the direction of the Committee, BofA Merrill Lynch distributed process letters to the 13 potential bidders, including B. Riley, Bidder A, Bidder B and Bidder C, in which the bidders were advised to submit, by June 27, 2017, final bids (including a mark-up of the draft merger agreement and/or the asset purchase agreement, as applicable, which would be made available by the Company) for the acquisition of the entire Company or for the acquisition of only the Broadsmart segment.

On June 12, 2017, the Committee held a telephonic meeting at which representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch were present.

Between June 12, 2017 and June 15, 2017, the Company negotiated and entered into a new confidentiality agreement with Bidder A that contained a standstill provision similar to that of the confidentiality agreements with Bidder B and Bidder C, except for the absence of the “fall away” provision in the event the Company entered into an agreement for its acquisition by another entity.

On June 16, 2017, Bryan Cave and the Company agreed upon the form of merger agreement to be made available to bidders for review and comment as part of the bid process, and posted it in the data room.

On June 19, 2017, the Committee held a telephonic meeting at which representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch were present. Representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch provided the Committee with an update on the transaction process and a summary of conversations to date with potential bidders. The Committee members discussed these matters among themselves. Also, on June 19, 2017, Bidder B notified BofA Merrill Lynch that it was considering partnering with another entity as an equity provider and requested that access to the data room be provided to such entity, which was not a potential bidder at that time. The same day, the potential partner of Bidder B executed a joinder to the confidentiality agreement between the Company and Bidder B and was given access to the data room.

On June 26, 2017, B. Riley and Bidder A each had separate meetings with the Company and representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch to discuss due diligence matters.

On June 27, 2017, the Company received proposals to acquire the entire Company from three potential bidders: B. Riley, Bidder A and Bidder B. The offer letters from each of Bidder A and Bidder B included as part of the bid package a mark-up of the draft merger agreement that had been posted in the data room. B. Riley did not submit a mark-up of the draft merger agreement. The bid from B. Riley was $9.00 per ordinary share, all cash; the bid from Bidder A was $9.55 per ordinary share, all cash; and the bid from Bidder B was $8.72 per ordinary share, all cash. The bid from B. Riley provided that a definitive agreement would not be subject to any financing contingency. The bid from Bidder A was accompanied by a debt commitment letter from a proposed lender to Bidder A, subject to several non-standard conditions, for partial financing for the transaction as well as a draft equity commitment letter and a draft limited guaranty, each from an equity sponsor for Bidder A. Bidder A’s total debt and equity commitment equaled approximately $129.2 million, less than the full amount of the offered purchase price, and did not explain the source of the balance of the purchase price. Bidder B’s bid included a financing contingency and Bidder B did not provide standard commitment papers from a financing source for the required financing but instead provided a term sheet for discussion purposes only from a potential financing source conditioned on successful completion of diligence by the financing source. On June 27, 2017, the Company also received three bids to purchase the Broadsmart segment. Two of those bids were for $8 million and one was for $10 million.

On June 28, 2017, the Committee held a telephonic meeting, with representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch and Bryan Cave present, to review the three bid proposals for the entire Company and the three bid proposals for the Broadsmart segment. Following deliberation, the Committee determined that the bids for the acquisition of the Company’s Broadsmart segment should not be pursued and that the Company should focus on a potential sale of the entire Company. The Committee and BofA Merrill Lynch then discussed the financial aspects of the proposals to acquire the entire Company, including the need for Bidder A and Bidder B to obtain financing for their proposed transactions and whether they were likely to have the financial ability to consummate a transaction. A detailed summary of the submitted bids was delivered by BofA Merrill Lynch to the Committee prior to the meeting. Representatives from Bryan Cave presented to the Committee a legal analysis of the bids. The Committee noted significant issues raised in the mark-ups of the draft merger agreement provided by Bidder A and Bidder B, the significant differences between the two mark-ups of the draft merger agreement received and certain legal issues to be considered in connection with any signing and closing of a transaction. The Committee also discussed the fact that the mark-up provided by Bidder A was minimal and the Committee expressed concern that the draft merger agreement provided by Bidder A was not an accurate representation of Bidder A’s position on the draft merger agreement, particularly in light of the Company’s prior negotiations with Bidder A. The Committee instructed both Bryan Cave and BofA Merrill Lynch to obtain confirmation from Bidder A that it would have no further comments to the draft merger agreement. The Committee also instructed Bryan Cave to prepare and send to Bidder B’s outside legal counsel a list of significant legal issues for discussion regarding Bidder B’s mark-up of the draft merger agreement and to begin negotiations regarding these issues. BofA Merrill Lynch was instructed by the Committee to inform B. Riley that the Company had received a price per ordinary share that was materially higher than B. Riley’s offer and that B. Riley should provide a mark-up of the merger agreement and complete its due diligence process.

On June 29, 2017, representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch contacted B. Riley as instructed by the Committee. At the request of the Committee, Mr. Howe also contacted Mr. Young to communicate the same message. BofA Merrill Lynch also contacted Bidder A to discuss its bid, the status of its financing and whether or not it would have additional comments to the draft merger agreement. Later that day, Bryan Cave circulated to the Committee a comparison of key issues raised in Bidder A’s and Bidder B’s merger agreement mark-ups, as well as a summary of the financing documents provided by each of Bidder A and Bidder B. BofA Merrill Lynch provided an update to the Committee of the telephone calls with B. Riley and Bidder A.

During the period from June 30, 2017 to July 28, 2017, B. Riley conducted extensive legal, business and financial diligence, Bidder A continued financial and business diligence on the Company and Bidder B conducted some limited business and financial diligence.

On July 3, 2017, Bidder A notified BofA Merrill Lynch of Bidder A’s interest in seeking Company approval to contact an entity that had already executed a confidentiality agreement with the Company regarding a potential joint bid (“Potential Partner”). Bidder A also reaffirmed that it had no further comments on the draft merger agreement and requested exclusivity for 14 days, among other requests. On July 4, 2017, BofA Merrill Lynch updated the Committee via e-mail on its conversation with Bidder A and advised the Committee that Bidder A had been asked by BofA Merrill Lynch for additional information regarding Bidder A’s intended sources of funding. The Committee agreed via email that Bidder A could contact Bidder A’s Potential Partner.

On July 6, 2017, an issues list prepared by Bryan Cave at the instruction of the Committee with respect to Bidder B’s mark-up of the draft merger agreement was circulated to Bidder B.

On July 9, 2017, outside legal counsel for B. Riley, Sullivan & Cromwell LLP (“Sullivan & Cromwell”), provided a mark-up of the draft merger agreement to Bryan Cave.

On July 10, 2017, the Committee held a telephonic meeting with representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch and Bryan Cave present. BofA Merrill Lynch reported on the status of the diligence process and communications with the three active bidders. Representatives from Bryan Cave provided an update on changes requested to the draft merger agreement by Bidder A. Representatives from Bryan Cave then presented to the Committee a legal analysis of the significant issues raised in the mark-up of the draft merger agreement provided by B. Riley. The Committee then discussed timing issues.

On July 11, 2017, at the direction of the Committee, representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch contacted each of B. Riley, Bidder A and Bidder B telephonically and informed them that best and final bids were due on July 20, 2017.

On July 12, 2017, Bidder A provided the Company with revised draft debt commitment papers.

On July 13, 2017, revised drafts of the merger agreement, debt commitment papers, equity commitment papers and limited guaranty were circulated to Bidder A. In addition, representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch met with Bidder B to discuss Bidder B’s proposed financing for the potential transaction, in light of the non-standard nature of the documentation Bidder B had provided with respect to such proposed financing.

On July 14, 2017, Bryan Cave circulated a revised draft merger agreement between the Company and B. Riley to Sullivan & Cromwell.

On July 15, 2017, Bryant Riley contacted Mr. Howe to reaffirm B. Riley’s interest in pursuing a transaction.

On July 17, 2017, the Committee held a telephonic meeting that included representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch, Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon & Co., the Company’s Israeli counsel (“Yigal Arnon”). Representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch provided an update on the process and the status of negotiations with each of B. Riley, Bidder A and Bidder B and the status of the due diligence process, and confirmed that all bidders had been notified that best and final bids are due on July 20, 2017. Representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch reviewed with the Committee information regarding both Bidder A and Bidder B and the Board and its advisors discussed Bidder A’s and Bidder B’s respective financial ability to consummate a transaction. Representatives from Bryan Cave presented to the Committee a legal analysis of the key issues raised in B Riley’s initial mark-up of the draft merger agreement and Bidder A’s revised draft debt commitment papers and an initial mark-up of the draft merger agreement, the significant differences between the two mark-ups of the draft merger agreement, and legal issues to be considered in connection with the closing of a transaction. A detailed summary of each party’s respective positions relative to those of the Company was provided to the Committee in advance of the meeting. The Committee discussed the key terms of the mark-ups to the draft merger agreements provided by each of B. Riley and Bidder A and the overall bids submitted by each of the bidders. Representatives of Yigal Arnon discussed the issues under Israeli law surrounding the bids. The Committee instructed the Company’s legal advisors to follow up with respect to these issues. Representatives of Yigal Arnon also discussed the fiduciary duties and responsibilities of the Committee and the full Board in connection with the evaluation of the bids. The Committee discussed approaches to encourage B. Riley to increase its bid price and to instruct Sullivan & Cromwell to work with Bryan Cave to resolve the outstanding legal issues.

On July 18, 2017, as requested by the Committee, Mr. Howe had conversations with each of Mr. Riley and Mr. Young of B. Riley to communicate the messaging provided by the Committee. On July 18, 2017, Bryan Cave circulated to the Committee updated materials which compared the key provisions of the mark-ups of the draft merger agreements received from B. Riley, Bidder A and Bidder B, and the positions of each of B. Riley and Bidder A relative to the positions being taken by the Company on key points.

On July 19, 2017, representatives from Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon had a telephone conference with Bidder A and its Israeli counsel to discuss the structure for the transaction, including the financing. Bidder A and its Israeli counsel indicated that they would be providing comments to the transaction documents, including comments to the draft merger agreement. Later that day, Bidder A sent comments to the draft equity commitment letter and draft limited guaranty, and a revised draft merger agreement, indicating further comments from Bidder A’s U.S. counsel would be provided at a later date. That same day, Bryan Cave and Sullivan & Cromwell engaged in high level discussions regarding the draft merger agreement.

On July 20, 2017, representatives of Bryan Cave had a telephone conference with a representative of Bidder A’s U.S. counsel who conveyed to Bryan Cave that counsel had not reviewed the draft merger agreement and that they had not been engaged in connection with Bidder A’s current bid. That same day, Bryan Cave representatives had a telephone conference with representatives of Bidder B’s counsel to discuss at a high level the issues list with respect to the draft merger agreement.

Also on July 20, 2017, the Company received final proposals to acquire the entire Company from each of B. Riley, Bidder A and Bidder B. The bid from B. Riley was increased to $9.20 per ordinary share, all cash, and was not subject to any financing contingency. B. Riley did not submit a revised draft merger agreement but indicated it would do so by July 24, 2017. B. Riley asked for two weeks of exclusivity to complete its due diligence and finalize the documents and indicated its belief that it would be in a position to sign and announce a transaction by August 3, 2017. Bidder A reaffirmed its bid of $9.55 per ordinary share, all cash, and provided a draft of the merger agreement which the Company had been negotiating with Bidder A in November 2016. Bidder A did not provide a revised draft debt commitment letter. The bid from Bidder B was increased to $10.06 per ordinary share, all cash. Bidder B also provided comments to the issues list that had been previously distributed to Bidder B. Bidder B’s bid remained subject to a financing contingency and Bidder B did not provide standard commitment papers from a financing source for the required financing but instead provided a revised term sheet for discussion purposes only from a potential financing source, which term sheet was conditioned on successful completion of diligence and did not include a number of provisions typical for a standard commitment letter.

On July 23, 2017, Sullivan & Cromwell distributed a revised mark-up of the draft merger agreement to Bryan Cave.

On July 24, 2017, the Committee held a telephonic meeting that included representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch, Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon. Representatives of Bryan Cave presented to the Committee a legal analysis of the key issues raised in the mark-ups of the draft merger agreement provided by B. Riley, Bidder A and Bidder B. Representatives of Yigal Arnon discussed with the Committee its fiduciary duties and responsibilities in connection with the bids and the process and, in particular, discussed the fact that the Company’s ability to seek specific performance against any potential purchaser was an important factor. The Committee engaged in an extensive discussion with the Company’s senior management and financial and legal advisors about the strengths and weaknesses of each bid and the importance of both price per ordinary share and certainty of closing. In particular, the Committee expressed concern that Bidder A had yet to provide evidence of unconditioned, committed financing or proof of funds of its equity sponsor and noted the lack of comments to the revised debt commitment letter from Bidder A’s financing source and the fact that Bidder A provided a draft of the merger agreement which the Company had been negotiating with Bidder A in November 2016. The Committee expressed concern that Bidder B did not have adequate financing to consummate the proposed transaction. Finally, the Committee expressed concern about B. Riley finalizing its diligence efforts in advance of the Company potentially entering into an exclusivity agreement with B. Riley. The Committee instructed BofA Merrill Lynch to contact each of B. Riley, Bidder A, and Bidder B with a list of specific issues that would need to be resolved before the Company could proceed to the next step in the process with each particular bidder.

Later that day, at the direction of the Committee, BofA Merrill Lynch spoke to Mr. Riley and Mr. Young of B. Riley and indicated that it would need to finalize its due diligence prior to any consideration of exclusivity by the Company and that a revised draft merger agreement would be provided to Sullivan & Cromwell by Bryan Cave the following day. Also on July 24, 2017, at the direction of the Committee, BofA Merrill Lynch contacted Bidder B in connection with Bidder B’s potential financing and, that same day, Bidder B provided a draft letter from a potential financing source that provided that the potential financing source had the funds necessary to consummate the transaction and that such source was willing to provide such financing to Bidder B, subject to various non-standard conditions.

On July 25, 2017, representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch, at the direction of the Committee, contacted Bidder A by telephone and conveyed to Bidder A that it should engage U.S. counsel to review the draft merger agreement in order for the Company to have a full understanding of any issues Bidder A had with the draft merger agreement. Later that day, the Committee met telephonically with representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch, Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon present. Representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch provided an update to the Committee on their communications with B. Riley, Bidder A and Bidder B. Representatives from Bryan Cave presented to the Committee a legal analysis of the key issues raised in the most recent mark-ups of the draft merger agreement provided by B. Riley, Bidder A and Bidder B (as modified by Bidder B’s comments to the issues list), the significant differences among the three such mark-ups received, and certain legal issues, a detailed summary of which was provided to the Committee prior to the meeting. The Committee engaged in extensive discussion of the proposed price per ordinary share and the terms of the draft merger agreement for each bidder. The Committee discussed the fact that although B. Riley had the lowest price per ordinary share, based on its proposed draft merger agreement, B. Riley seemed to have the greatest certainty of closing, while Bidder B had the highest price per ordinary share but its bid seemed to have the least certainty of closing, especially in light of financing being a condition to closing. In addition, Bidder B had not provided any evidence of committed financing or any information which would allow the Company to evaluate the viability of its financing source. The Committee instructed BofA Merrill Lynch to provide Bidder A with a specific set of issues identified by the Committee which needed to be resolved by July 27, 2017, in order for Bidder A to advance in the process while representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch, Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon continued to engage with each of B. Riley and Bidder B to try to resolve open issues.

Later that day, representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch, at the direction of the Committee, contacted Bidder A by telephone and identified specific items that needed to be addressed by July 27, 2017 in order for Bidder A to advance in the process.

On July 26, 2017, representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch, Bryan Cave, Bidder B and Bidder B’s counsel conferred by telephone to discuss the issues identified by the Committee and to identify with specificity what Bidder B needed to do to increase the viability of its bid. Later that day, Bryan Cave distributed a revised draft merger agreement to Sullivan & Cromwell.

On July 27, 2017, representatives from Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon had a telephone conference with Bidder A and its Israeli counsel to discuss Bidder A’s proposal and the issues identified by the Committee. Later that day, Bidder A’s Israeli counsel provided a revised draft merger agreement to Bryan Cave. Bryan Cave, Yigal Arnon, Bidder A and Bidder A’s Israeli counsel then had another telephone conference to discuss the revised draft merger agreement. Later that day, Bidder A’s Israeli counsel provided a further revised draft merger agreement.

On July 28, 2017, Bidder B provided the Company with a letter from Bidder B’s potential financing source indicating that Bidder B had been made “a beneficiary” of up to $150 million in funds for the sole purpose of paying the aggregate merger consideration to acquire the Company that would be released to Bidder B subject to certain conditions. The letter indicated that proof of funds for any portion of the purchase price in excess of $150 million would be provided at the time that Bidder B “won the bid.”

Also on July 28, 2017, the Committee held a telephonic meeting with representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch, Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon present. The remaining members of the Board who are not members of the Committee attended the Committee meeting in order to participate in the discussion of the status of the various bids. Mr. Bell informed the Committee that he had a prior professional relationship with B. Riley in that B. Riley provided advisory services to a prior company for which Mr. Bell had led a strategic process. Yigal Arnon led the Committee in a discussion of Mr. Bell’s prior professional relationship with B. Riley and the Committee concluded that Mr. Bell did not have a conflict of interest (or personal interest as defined under Israeli law). Mr. Howe then advised the Committee of the professional relationship that he has with each of Mr. Young and Mr. Riley. Yigal Arnon led the Committee in a discussion of Mr. Howe’s professional relationship with B. Riley and the Committee concluded that Mr. Howe did not have a conflict of interest (or personal interest as defined under Israeli law). A representative of BofA Merrill Lynch then presented to the Committee an overview of the process to date. Prior to the meeting, Bryan Cave had distributed to the Committee an updated summary of the significant issues raised in the mark-ups of the draft merger agreements provided by the three bidders, and the important differences among such mark-ups. The Committee and those members of the Board not on the Committee had an extensive discussion with the Company’s senior management and financial and legal advisors concerning the issues with each of the three bids. The Committee discussed that both the price per ordinary share and the certainty of closing were important factors in evaluating the bids. The Committee concluded that given the uncertainty related to the financing of both Bidder A and Bidder B, the relative terms of the proposed merger agreements from each of Bidder A and Bidder B and the higher certainty of closing with B. Riley, the Committee would recommend to the Board that it enter into exclusivity with B. Riley for a period of seven days, subject to B. Riley’s agreeing to increase its price per ordinary share and the resolution of three legal issues in the definitive documentation which all focused on increasing the Company’s certainty of closing.

Immediately following the Committee meeting on July 28, 2017, the Board held a telephonic meeting at which representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch, Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon were present. Upon the recommendation of the Committee, the Board approved the Company entering into an exclusivity agreement with B. Riley, subject to conditions identified by the Committee. Also, the Board instructed BofA Merrill Lynch to provide Bidder A with the opportunity to address certain issues necessary to give the Company sufficient comfort that Bidder A might proceed in the process during the pendency of B. Riley considering the Company’s conditions to the exclusivity agreement. Later that day, BofA Merrill Lynch informed Bidder A of the issues it needed to address by July 29, 2017 in order to continue in the process and contacted B. Riley and conveyed the conditions for exclusivity. Sullivan & Cromwell then contacted Bryan Cave for clarification and discussion of the legal issues in the conditions for exclusivity.

On July 29, 2017, B. Riley contacted representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch with respect to the conditions to exclusivity and Sullivan & Cromwell sent Bryan Cave revised provisions of the draft merger agreement with agreed upon language with respect to the identified legal issues. B. Riley declined to increase its offered price per ordinary share. From July 29, 2017 through July 30, 2017, Bryan Cave and Sullivan & Cromwell negotiated the provisions of the merger agreement applicable to the legal issues that the Company had identified as conditions to entering into the exclusivity agreement, which were resolved.

On July 30, 2017, the Board held a telephonic meeting at which representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch, Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon were present. The BofA Merrill Lynch representative reported to the Board that the legal issues identified by the Committee had been addressed but that B. Riley had declined to increase its offer per ordinary share. Prior to the meeting, Bryan Cave circulated to the Board updated materials which provided an overview of key issues in bids from Bidder A, Bidder B and B. Riley, and an updated summary of the significant issues raised in the mark-ups of the draft merger agreement provided by the three bidders, the important differences among the three merger agreement mark-ups and a comparison of each bidder’s position on certain key issues with the Company’s position. Bryan Cave reported on the discussions with Sullivan & Cromwell and noted that while there were still a number of provisions in the draft merger agreement to be resolved, the legal items outlined by the Board as conditions to exclusivity had been resolved. Representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch then reported to the Board the status of Bidder A’s bid and the fact that Bidder A failed to provide any of the requested information. The Board discussed the issues related to Bidder A’s bid. After discussion, the Board concluded that the bids of Bidder A and Bidder B were subject to significant uncertainty. The Board then deliberated on B. Riley’s ability to finance the transaction based on B. Riley’s publicly available reports and financial statements. After considering the terms of each of the bids, the importance of certainty of closing and the likelihood of reaching a definitive agreement with each of the bidders, the Board authorized the Company to enter into an exclusivity agreement with B. Riley for a period of seven days, expiring at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 7, 2017. Upon instruction by the Board, BofA Merrill Lynch informed B. Riley of the Board’s decision and Bryan Cave provided Sullivan & Cromwell with a draft exclusivity agreement.

Later that day, Bidder A provided revised debt commitment papers but did not respond to the other issues which the Company had asked Bidder A to address. The Company and B. Riley entered into an exclusivity agreement on July 30, 2017.

On July 31, 2017, representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch informed both Bidder A and Bidder B that the Company had entered into an exclusivity agreement with another party.

On August 1, 2017, Sullivan & Cromwell submitted a revised merger agreement to Bryan Cave and representatives of those firms discussed the draft merger agreement. Also on August 1, 2017, the Board held a regularly scheduled in-person board meeting with representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch, Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon present for portions of that meeting. Representatives of each of BofA Merrill Lynch and Bryan Cave provided an update on the status of the proposed transaction and discussions with B. Riley and Sullivan & Cromwell, respectively.

On August 2, 2017, Sullivan & Cromwell circulated to Bryan Cave a revised draft merger agreement as well as additional due diligence requests. Later that day, representatives of Bryan Cave, Yigal Arnon, Sullivan & Cromwell and Gross, Kleinhendler, Hodak, Halevy, Greenberg and Co. (B. Riley’s Israeli counsel) (“GKH”) had a telephone call regarding the draft merger agreement. During the period of August 2, 2017 through August 4, 2017, the Company and Bryan Cave continued to respond to legal due diligence questions from B. Riley and Sullivan and Cromwell.

On August 4, 2017, Mr. Young of B. Riley contacted representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch to highlight and discuss certain issues that B. Riley had identified that would need to be addressed in the draft merger agreement. Later that day, Bryan Cave circulated a revised merger agreement to Sullivan & Cromwell.

On August 5, 2017, Sullivan & Cromwell circulated a revised draft merger agreement to Bryan Cave. Over the course of that day, Bryan Cave and Sullivan & Cromwell negotiated the terms of the draft merger agreement.

Over the course of August 6, 2017 and August 7, 2017, Mr. Howe, on behalf of the Company, and Mr. Young, on behalf of B. Riley, discussed open items in the draft merger agreement between the Company and B. Riley.

On August 7, 2017, the Board held a telephonic meeting, with representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch, Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon present. BofA Merrill Lynch, Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon each updated the Board with respect to developments over the preceding week. BofA Merrill Lynch summarized the status of negotiations with B. Riley and the open items which B. Riley had identified as necessary to resolve before B. Riley could proceed with further negotiations. Representatives from Bryan Cave reviewed for the Board the materials distributed to the Board prior to the meeting, which compared B. Riley’s position and the Company’s position on the key provisions of the draft merger agreement and the status of negotiations. The Board considered extending exclusivity in order to finalize the outstanding items in the draft merger agreement, and ultimately determined to do so, subject to the resolution of one outstanding issue. Later that day, BofA Merrill Lynch, as directed by the Board, contacted B. Riley to inform B. Riley that the Company would extend exclusivity in the event that the parties reached resolution on the key issue outstanding in the draft merger agreement. Agreement was reached on this point and the Company and B. Riley entered into an extension of the exclusivity agreement through August 14, 2017.

On August 8, 2017, Bryan Cave and Sullivan & Cromwell engaged in further negotiations with respect to the draft merger agreement and, on August 9, 2017, Bryan Cave circulated a revised draft merger agreement to Sullivan & Cromwell.

On August 10, 2017, Sullivan & Cromwell submitted a revised draft of the merger agreement to Bryan Cave, and Sullivan & Cromwell and representatives from Bryan Cave thereafter engaged in ongoing negotiations with respect to the draft merger agreement. From August 10, 2017 to August 12, 2017, B. Riley and Sullivan & Cromwell continued to engage in legal, business and financial diligence and the Company and its legal and financial advisors responded to various diligence inquiries. Also on August 10, 2017, Mr. Young contacted Mr. Howe to alert the Company to a structural issue identified by B. Riley that could impact the timing and/or certainty of the potential transaction.

On August 12, 2017, Bryan Cave circulated a revised draft merger agreement to Sullivan & Cromwell. Also on that day, representatives of B. Riley conferred with Company management regarding the recently identified transaction structural issue. Later that day, B. Riley informed the Company by telephone that B. Riley would not be able to proceed with the proposed transaction at such time due to certain structuring considerations.

On August 13, 2017, the Board held a telephonic meeting with representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch, Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon present. The Board was advised of the communications from B. Riley about the recently identified structural issue and B. Riley’s inability to proceed with a transaction with the Company at such time subject to further work in respect of this issue. The Board was advised that B. Riley had inquired about the possibility of re-structuring the transaction as an asset purchase. The Board discussed this and then requested that each of Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon complete a preliminary analysis of the consequences of an asset purchase structure for the Company. The Board then discussed re-engaging with each of Bidder A and Bidder B and determined that given the concerns over Bidder B’s financing as well as the conditionality of its offer, the Company should not re-engage with Bidder B. The Board instructed BofA Merrill Lynch to contact Bidder A, once exclusivity with B. Riley expired on August 14, 2017, to determine whether Bidder A would like to re-engage in discussions with the Company about a potential transaction.

During the period of August 13, 2017 through August 17, 2017, the Company and B. Riley remained in contact and the Company was advised that B. Riley remained interested in a possible transaction and was working on a revised structure to accommodate the issue.

On August 14, 2017, representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch had a call with principals from Bidder A and informed them that the Company was no longer under exclusivity and inquired as to whether Bidder A remained interested in a potential transaction with the Company. Bidder A indicated that, while it remained interested in a potential transaction and would like to meet with the Company, the previously contemplated financing was no longer available as originally structured.

During the period of August 17, 2017 through September 25, 2017, B. Riley continued to engage in business and financial diligence of the Company and the Company and its financial advisors responded to various diligence inquiries, including in connection with a potential new transaction structure. On August 18, 2017, the Company was advised by B. Riley that B. Riley remained committed to exploring alternatives to the merger structure originally contemplated, and that B. Riley’s tax and legal advisors had been instructed to explore the issues related to an asset purchase structure.

On August 31, 2017, members of the Committee met telephonically and in-person with principals from Bidder A as well as Bidder A’s equity sponsor. Representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch were also present at the meeting. The Committee and Bidder A agreed that, in exchange for the Company’s reimbursing Bidder A for certain transaction expenses during a limited window, Bidder A and its debt financing source would engage in the necessary legal, financial and business due diligence in order for Bidder A to move forward with its bid of $9.55 per ordinary share and secure committed financing and Bidder A would engage U.S. counsel to work to finalize the merger agreement that had been distributed on July 27, 2017.

Between September 1, 2017 and September 7, 2017, BofA Merrill Lynch, acting at the direction of the Company, and Bidder A negotiated certain terms of Bidder A’s proposed bid.

On September 7, 2017, the Committee held a telephonic meeting with representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch, Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon present. The Committee and its advisors discussed the key terms now proposed by Bidder A, including the amounts of the Company termination fee and Parent termination fee, as well as the terms of the proposed expense reimbursement agreement. The Committee received an update on the status of B. Riley’s further work on a possible proposal for a revised transaction structure.

Members of the Committee considered Bidder A’s proposal from September 7, 2017 to September 8, 2017. On September 8, 2017, the Company provided Bidder A with a draft expense reimbursement agreement. From September 8, 2017 through September 15, 2017, the Company and Bidder A, together with their respective advisors, negotiated the expense reimbursement agreement, which was executed by each of the Company and Bidder A, respectively, on September 18, 2017.

On September 18, 2017, the Committee held a telephonic meeting with representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch, Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon present. The Committee received an update from representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch on the status of Bidder A’s due diligence and on the status of B. Riley’s work to date regarding the possible proposal for a revised transaction structure. Mr. Fuller noted that B. Riley had requested that Mr. Riley be given the opportunity to address the Committee directly. Later that day, representatives of Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon had a telephone conference with Bidder A, Bidder A’s Israeli counsel and Bidder A’s debt financing source and its counsel regarding the due diligence process, which Bidder A’s debt financing source was beginning.

On September 25, 2017, the Committee held a telephonic meeting with representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch, Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon present. Representatives from Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon provided an update regarding the diligence call with Bidder A and its advisors held on September 18, 2017, noting that Bidder A’s U.S. counsel had not participated in the call and that Bidder A’s debt financing source had not yet started diligence. The Committee discussed the slow pace of Bidder A’s due diligence and whether the draft merger agreement provided by Bidder A on July 27, 2017 fully reflected the terms under which Bidder A was prepared to consummate a transaction given that Bidder A’s U.S. counsel had not been involved. After discussion with the Company’s advisors, the Committee instructed Bryan Cave to provide Bidder A with mark-ups of the draft merger agreement, debt commitment papers, equity commitment letter and limited guaranty to try to ascertain if Bidder A was going to have further legal comments. The Committee then discussed timing for signing a potential transaction with Bidder A and requested that BofA Merrill Lynch convey to Bidder A that it needed to complete diligence and be in a position to sign definitive transaction documents by October 4, 2017. The Committee also received an update from representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch on the status of B. Riley’s due diligence to date and a possible proposal for a revised transaction structure. The Committee requested that Mr. Howe reach out to Mr. Young to set a time for a meeting between Mr. Riley and members of the Committee as requested by Mr. Riley.

On September 28, 2017, at the direction of the Committee, Bryan Cave distributed comments to the draft merger agreement received from Bidder A’s Israeli counsel on July 27, 2017, and comments to the draft debt commitments papers received from Bidder A on July 30, 2017, to Bidder A, Bidder A’s U.S. and Israeli counsel and counsel for Bidder A’s equity sponsor.

On October 2, 2017, Bryan Cave contacted Bidder A’s U.S. counsel to inquire about the status of comments to the transaction documents. Bidder A’s U.S. counsel responded that it was working through the documents and would revert with any questions. Later that day, the Committee held a telephonic meeting with representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch, Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon present. The Committee received an update from representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch on the status of Bidder A’s due diligence to date and on the status of a potential transaction with B. Riley. The Committee discussed the upcoming call scheduled with the Committee and Mr. Riley and what they hoped to accomplish from such a call. Representatives from Bryan Cave provided an update to the Committee on the legal diligence requests which Bryan Cave had received from Bidder A’s U.S. counsel as well as the status of the draft transaction documents which had been sent to Bidder A’s counsel the previous week. Also on October 2, 2017, Bidder A’s Potential Partner executed a letter stating that it would be deemed to be a joint venture partner of Bidder A, but would remain subject to its existing confidentiality agreement with the Company.

On October 3, 2017, Bryan Cave distributed comments to the draft equity commitment letter and limited guaranty received from Bidder A on July 19, 2017 to Bidder A, Bidder A’s U.S. and Israeli counsel and counsel for Bidder A’s equity sponsor. That same day, members of the Committee, together with representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch, had a telephonic meeting with Mr. Riley and Mr. Young during which Mr. Riley affirmed his continued desire to consummate a transaction with the Company. Members of the Committee also spoke with representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch regarding BofA Merrill Lynch’s contacting Bidder B to inquire whether Bidder B remained interested in a potential transaction with the Company, and, if so, to inquire about the status of Bidder B’s financing.

From October 4, 2017 through October 26, 2017, Bidder A, its advisors and its debt financing source and their respective advisors periodically engaged in legal, business and financial diligence of the Company and the Company, BofA Merrill Lynch and Bryan Cave periodically responded to additional due diligence requests from Bidder A and its advisors.

On October 5, 2017, the Committee approved extending the existing term of the expense reimbursement agreement with Bidder A to October 11, 2017, in light of the increased commitment shown by Bidder A to complete its due diligence of the Company.

On October 6, 2017, Bryan Cave circulated an executed amendment to the expense reimbursement agreement to Bidder A’s U.S. legal counsel. Also on October 6, 2017, B. Riley sent the Company a draft term sheet setting out the proposed terms for a purchase of substantially all of the assets of the Company.

On October 9, 2017, the Committee held a telephonic meeting with representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch, Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon present. The Committee received an update from representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch on the status of Bidder A’s due diligence and representatives from Bryan Cave updated the Committee on the status of the draft transaction documents with Bidder A. The Committee, Company senior management and the Company’s advisors then had a discussion of the terms of B. Riley’s proposed asset purchase transaction, including, among other things, the implied price per ordinary share of such proposed transaction, the retention of liabilities, the need for court approval in Israel for such proposed transaction and subsequent distribution to shareholders and the tax implications for Company shareholders. After extensive discussion, the Committee determined that the proposed structure would likely not return adequate value to shareholders and instructed Mr. Fuller to contact Mr. Young to discuss the Company’s concerns with the revised structure and explore the possibility of B. Riley acquiring 100% of the Company through a merger. Representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch also reported to the Committee that, as requested by the Committee, they had contacted Bidder B, and Bidder B had reiterated its interest in pursuing a transaction with the Company and requested that its access to the data room be restored. The Committee instructed BofA Merrill Lynch to communicate to Bidder B that it would need to revise its proposed transaction documents and obtain committed financing before such access to the data room would be restored.

During the period of October 9, 2017 through October 11, 2017, Mr. Young contacted Mr. Howe to explore the feasibility of an asset acquisition by B. Riley.

During the period of October 11, 2017 through October 13, 2017, representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch and Bryan Cave contacted Bidder A and Bidder A’s U.S. counsel, respectively, to inquire about the status of diligence and the draft transaction documents.

At the instruction of the Committee, on October 11, 2017, Mr. Fuller had a telephone call with Mr. Young to discuss the concerns that the Company had with an asset structure. In light of the concerns expressed, Mr. Fuller conveyed that the Company would like B. Riley to reconsider a bid to acquire the Company through a merger, with any structuring costs to B. Riley factored into any revised bid that B. Riley might make. Mr. Young indicated that B. Riley would be amenable to exploring a bid for the entire Company again.

On October 12, 2017, Bidder A provided Bryan Cave a fully executed amendment to the expense reimbursement agreement.

On October 17, 2017, at the request of members of the Committee, representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch met with Bidder B to discuss whether Bidder B remained interested in a possible transaction with the Company and whether Bidder B would reaffirm its bid of $10.06 per ordinary share and to inquire whether Bidder B had the necessary committed financing to support its bid. Bidder B indicated to BofA Merrill Lynch that it remained interested in a possible transaction with the Company and reaffirmed its bid of $10.06 per ordinary share. Bidder B said that it continued to work on financing for a possible transaction and would provide financing documentation to BofA Merrill Lynch in approximately one week.

On October 19, 2017, Mr. Riley contacted Mr. Howe to indicate that B. Riley would be submitting a revised bid to acquire the Company through a merger.

On October 23, 2017, B. Riley submitted to the Company a revised bid of $8.50 per ordinary share to acquire 100% of the Company through a merger.

On October 25, 2017, Bidder A’s U.S. counsel circulated a revised draft merger agreement which contained extensive comments, including items which had been previously discussed and agreed upon by each of the Company and Bidder A. Later that day, the Committee held a telephonic meeting with representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch, Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon present. The Committee, together with the Company’s financial and legal advisors, discussed B. Riley’s revised bid and whether, from a financial perspective, it provided an adequate return of value to the Company’s shareholders as compared to the risks and challenges to the Company in executing its strategic plan if it remained independent. Representatives from Bryan Cave presented to the Committee a legal analysis of the key issues raised in the mark-up of the draft merger agreement provided by Bidder A, including increased conditionality to closing. The Committee agreed that Bidder A should be given a deadline of October 27, 2017 to submit comments to all transaction documents, including debt and equity commitment papers, and instructed BofA Merrill Lynch and Bryan Cave to convey this message to Bidder A and Bidder A’s U.S. counsel, respectively. The Committee also discussed and agreed that Mr. Fuller should reach out to Mr. Young to convey that the Committee was considering a higher bid and that the Committee had a meeting scheduled for October 30, 2017, after which they would provide B. Riley with formal feedback. Each of BofA Merrill Lynch, Bryan Cave and Mr. Fuller subsequently conveyed the requested messages to each of Bidder A, Bidder A’s U.S. counsel and Mr. Young, respectively.

On October 27, 2017, Bidder A’s U.S. counsel circulated revised drafts of the equity commitment letter and the limited guaranty to Bryan Cave. Bidder A did not provide a revised draft of the debt commitment papers.

On October 30, 2017, the Committee held a telephonic meeting with representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch, Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon present. Representatives from Bryan Cave reviewed for the Board the highlights from the materials distributed to the Board prior to the meeting, which compared the Company’s position and Bidder A’s position as reflected in Bidder A’s July 27, 2017 mark-up provided by its Israeli legal counsel as well as Bidder A’s October 25, 2017 mark-up provided by its U.S. legal counsel on the key provisions of the draft merger agreement. The Committee extensively discussed with the Company’s management as well as its legal and financial advisors the significant issues with the draft merger agreement received from Bidder A as well as the fact that Bidder A had still not provided acceptable evidence of committed financing. The Committee also discussed whether the price per ordinary share offered by B. Riley provided an adequate return of value to the Company’s shareholders, from a financial perspective, as compared to the risks and challenges to the Company in executing its strategic plan if it remained independent. The Committee determined that Bidder A should be told that it needed to deliver evidence of committed financing or it would no longer be allowed to participate in the formal transaction process and that Mr. Bell should meet with Mr. Riley and Mr. Young to discuss the price per share offered by B. Riley.

On October 31, 2017, Mr. Bell had a telephone conversation with the principals from Bidder A and Bidder A’s equity sponsor during which the status of Bidder A’s financing, the conditionality of Bidder A’s financing and Bidder A’s failure to meet deadlines throughout the process was discussed. Mr. Bell conveyed to Bidder A that it needed to deliver evidence of committed financing no later than November 2, 2017, if it wanted to remain a participant in the formal transaction process.

On November 2, 2017, Mr. Bell met with Mr. Riley and M. Young. They discussed B. Riley’s proposed $8.50 price per ordinary share and Mr. Bell indicated that B. Riley needed to improve its proposal to be competitive. After Mr. Bell left the meeting, Mr. Riley called Mr. Bell to indicate that B. Riley was prepared to offer $8.71 per share on the same terms and conditions as B. Riley had previously negotiated in August, so long as B. Riley had the ability to assign the merger agreement to an affiliate, and requested six days of exclusivity with the Company to complete negotiations and finalize a potential transaction. Also on November 2, 2017, representatives from Bidder A’s U.S. counsel had a telephone call with Bryan Cave during which Bidder A’s U.S. counsel previewed the terms of Bidder A’s revised bid, including a price of $9.00 per ordinary share, certain new financial conditions for the debt and equity commitments and proposed new conditions to closing. Later that night, Bidder A’s U.S. counsel sent a revised draft merger agreement and draft debt commitment papers to Bryan Cave. Also that night, Bidder A’s equity sponsor called representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch to inform them of the terms of Bidder A’s revised bid, including a further price reduction to $8.50 per ordinary share if the Company did not want to have the proposed transaction subject to the outlined additional conditions to closing proposed by Bidder A in its revised bid.

On November 3, 2017, the Committee held a telephonic meeting with representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch, Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon present. The Committee extensively discussed with the Company’s senior management as well as its legal and financial advisors the fact that Bidder A’s bid of $9.00 per ordinary share was subject to several closing conditions that would ultimately make consummating a transaction very difficult and, consequently, Bidder A’s bid of $8.50 per ordinary share was a better comparison to use when evaluating Bidder A’s bid and B. Riley’s bid of $8.71 per ordinary share. The Committee determined, based on the relative price per ordinary share being offered by each of B. Riley and Bidder A, as well as the terms of the draft merger agreement from each of B. Riley and Bidder A, to recommend to the Board that the Board authorize the Company to enter into exclusivity with B. Riley through November 7, 2017 to finalize the merger agreement. Immediately following the Committee meeting, the Board held a telephonic meeting with members of the Company’s senior management and representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch, Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon to extensively discuss the fact that Bidder A’s bid of $9.00 per ordinary share was subject to several closing conditions that would ultimately make consummating a transaction very difficult and, consequently, Bidder A’s bid of $8.50 per ordinary share was a better comparison to use when evaluating Bidder A’s bid, and B. Riley proposed bid of $8.71 per ordinary share. The Board authorized, based on the relative price per ordinary share being offered by each of B. Riley and Bidder A, as well as the terms of the draft merger agreement from each of B. Riley and Bidder A, the Company to enter into an exclusivity agreement with B. Riley through November 7, 2017, in order to finalize the merger agreement.

After the meeting, Bryan Cave circulated an exclusivity agreement to Sullivan & Cromwell and the parties executed the agreement, agreeing to exclusivity through 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 7, 2017. Also on November 3, 2017, Sullivan & Cromwell circulated to Bryan Cave a revised draft merger agreement, reflecting changes to the draft merger agreement distributed to Sullivan & Cromwell by Bryan Cave on August 12, 2017, and representatives from Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon thereafter engaged in ongoing negotiations with Sullivan & Cromwell and GKH, respectively, through the evening of November 7, 2017, with respect to the draft merger agreement.

On November 7, 2017, the Audit Committee of the Board met in person at the offices of Bryan Cave for a regularly scheduled meeting, at which the Audit Committee discussed the interests of the Company’s directors and executive officers in the merger transaction, more fully described in “—Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction” beginning on page 52, as well as the various factors more fully described in “—Recommendation of the Board; Reasons for the Transaction” beginning on page 38. After discussion and in light of the reasons considered, the Audit Committee unanimously determined to approve and recommend to the Board the execution, delivery, and performance by the Company of the proposed merger agreement with B. Riley and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger.

Later that day, the Board met in person for a regularly scheduled meeting. Representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch, Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon attended a portion of the meeting. A detailed summary regarding the terms of the proposed merger agreement with B. Riley was distributed to the Board in advance of the meeting. Representatives from Bryan Cave reported to the Board that substantial progress had been made in negotiations with B. Riley and Sullivan & Cromwell and that all material issues had been resolved but that transaction documents were not yet final. Representatives from Yigal Arnon then reviewed the Board’s fiduciary duties in connection with the potential sale of the Company. Bryan Cave summarized, among other things, certain obligations, conditions and termination rights related to obtaining regulatory approvals under the proposed merger agreement. Bryan Cave also discussed the termination fee applicable in situations in which the transaction was made the subject of competitive bids from third parties or in which the Board withdrew the Board recommendation supporting the transaction. The Board discussed the terms of the proposed merger agreement and engaged in a discussion regarding the risks and challenges to the Company in executing its strategic plan if it remained independent. The Board also discussed the various factors more fully described below under “—Recommendation of the Board; Reasons for the Transaction” beginning on page 38. Representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch then reviewed and discussed with the Board certain financial analysis with respect to the consideration of $8.71 per ordinary share summarized under “—Opinion of BofA Merrill Lynch” beginning on page 42. The Board agreed to reconvene the following day to further discuss the transaction.

During the afternoon of November 8, 2017, the Board held a telephonic meeting with representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch, Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon present. A detailed summary regarding the final terms of the proposed merger agreement was distributed to the Board in advance of the meeting. Representatives from Bryan Cave noted that, while all material issues had been resolved and there had been no material changes to the proposed merger agreement since the previous Board meeting, transaction documents were not yet final. The directors continued their discussion from the previously held Board meeting of the proposed merger agreement and engaged in a discussion regarding the risks and challenges to the Company in executing its strategic plan if it remained independent. The Board also further discussed the various factors more fully described in “—Recommendation of the Board; Reasons for the Transaction” beginning on page 38. Representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch then reiterated the financial analysis provided to the Board at the prior meeting with respect to the consideration of $8.71 per share and rendered an oral opinion to the Board, which was confirmed by delivery of a written opinion, dated November 8, 2017, to the effect that, as of that date, and based upon and subject to various assumptions and limitations described in its opinion, the consideration of $8.71 in cash to be received by holders of each ordinary share was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders, which is summarized in “—Opinion of BofA Merrill Lynch” beginning on page 42. After discussion with the Company’s financial and legal advisors, the Board unanimously (i) determined that the Merger is fair to, and in the best interest of, the Company and shareholders, and that, considering the financial position of the merging companies, no reasonable concern exists that the surviving corporation will be unable to fulfill the obligations of the Company to its creditors as such become due and payable following the consummation of the Merger, and that it is in the best interests of the Company and shareholders for the Company to enter into the proposed merger agreement (subject to the resolution of certain minor contractual provisions), (ii) approved, declared advisable, adopted, and authorized the execution, delivery, and performance by the Company of the proposed merger agreement and the consummation by the Company of the Transaction contemplated thereby, including the Merger, and (iii) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the proposed merger agreement, resolved to recommend that the Company’s shareholders vote in favor of the Merger Proposal.

Throughout the day and during the evening of November 8, 2017, Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon, and Sullivan & Cromwell and GKH, respectively, continued to discuss the proposed merger agreement and resolved the final unresolved provisions of the proposed merger agreement to the satisfaction of their respective clients.

On November 9, 2017, the Company and B. Riley executed the Merger Agreement. At approximately 8:05 a.m., Eastern Time, on November 9, 2017, the parties issued a joint press release announcing the Transaction.

On January 9, 2018, the Board held a telephonic meeting with Thomas Fuller and representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch, Bryan Cave and Yigal Arnon present. The Board received a briefing on developments related to the Transaction, including the implications of the recently enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”). At the request of the Board, a representative of BofA Merrill Lynch confirmed that had the TCJA been enacted prior to November 8, 2017, it would not have changed the conclusion set forth in BofA Merrill Lynch’s opinion, dated November 8, 2017, as further discussed in “Opinion of BofA Merrill Lynch – Subsequent BofA Merrill Lynch Confirmation” beginning on page 49. After discussion, the Board concluded that the lower corporate tax rate implemented by the TCJA had no effect on the advisability of the Merger. The Board thereupon set the record date for and the date of the Meeting.

Recommendation of the Board; Reasons for the Transaction

At an extraordinary general meeting of the Board held on November 8, 2017, the Board, after receiving and reviewing all the relevant information that the Board considered necessary or appropriate in connection with its consideration of the Transaction and the Merger Agreement, and after careful review of the facts and circumstances relating to the Transaction, including the efforts of the Committee in developing the material terms of the Transaction with the assistance of the Company’s advisors, and, as appropriate, senior management of the Company and receiving the opinion of BofA Merrill Lynch that the Per Share Merger Consideration to be paid to the holders of the Company’s ordinary shares was fair, from a financial point of view and as of the date of the opinion, to such holders, determined that the Merger Agreement was in the best interests of the shareholders of the Company, and that, considering the financial position of the merging companies, no reasonable concern existed that the Surviving Corporation will be unable to fulfill the obligations of the Company to its creditors as such become due and payable following the consummation of the Transaction, approved and declared the advisability of the Merger Agreement and the Merger, authorized the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement and resolved to recommend to the Company’s shareholders that they vote to adopt the Merger Agreement and the terms of the Merger.

In reaching its determination, the Board considered:

Premium to Market Price . The Board considered the relationship of the Per Share Merger Consideration to the current and historical market prices of the Company’s shares and to the Company’s intrinsic value. The Per Share Merger Consideration to be paid in cash for each share of the Company would provide shareholders of the Company with the opportunity to receive a premium over the current and historical market price of the Company’s shares. The Board reviewed historical market prices, volatility and trading information with respect to the shares, including the fact that the Per Share Merger Consideration of $8.71 represents:

a premium of approximately 54.2% over the closing price per share of Company shares on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on November 8, 2017, the trading day before the execution of the Merger Agreement;

a premium of approximately 18.5% over the closing price per share of Company shares on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on March 14, 2017, the trading day before the Company announced it was exploring strategic alternatives; and

a premium of approximately 23.6% over the 90-day average closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares for the period ended November 7, 2017.

Certainty of Value . The Board considered that the consideration to be received by the Company’s shareholders in the Transaction will consist entirely of cash, which provides liquidity and certainty of value to shareholders. The Board believed this certainty of value was compelling compared to the long-term value creation potential of the Company’s business taking into account the risks of remaining independent and pursing the Company’s current business and financial plans. The Board also considered the degree of risk and uncertainty associated with various proposed or potential transaction structures, specifically considering factors such as regulatory approvals and financing commitments. The Board discussed uncertainty around reaching an acceptable deal with the two alternative bidders who participated in the auction process, one of whom offered a higher per share purchase price compared to that of Parent, particularly as it related to each of those alternative bidders’ ability to finance the transaction and the proposed terms of a merger agreement being less favorable than those of the Merger Agreement, especially as they related to certainty of closing. The Board believed that it was unlikely to reach a definitive merger agreement with either of the two alternative bidders and therefore the consideration offered by such alternative bidders did not represent the highest value reasonably obtainable for the Company’s shares.

The Prospects of the Company . The Board considered the Company’s prospects and risks if the Company were to remain an independent company. The Board discussed the Company’s current business and financial plans, including the risks and uncertainties associated with achieving and executing upon the Company’s business and financial plans in the short- and long-term, as well as the general risks of market conditions that could reduce the price of the Company’s shares. Among the potential risks identified by the Board were:

the Company’s ability to successfully distribute and commercialize new products;

the Company’s ability to grow organically and through acquisitions;

the competitive nature of the Company’s industry and target markets; and

general risks and market conditions that could reduce the market price of the Company’s shares.

Potential Strategic Alternatives . The Committee and the Board extensively considered possible alternatives to the acquisition by Parent (including the sale of only the Broadsmart division of the Company and the possibility of continuing to operate the Company as an independent entity, and the desirability and perceived risks of those alternatives), potential benefits to the Company’s shareholders of such alternatives and the timing and likelihood of effecting such alternatives, as well as the Board’s assessment that, among other things, given the comprehensive nature of the auction process run by the Committee leading up to the execution of the Merger Agreement, none of these alternatives was reasonably likely to create greater value for the Company’s shareholders, taking into account risks of execution as well as business, competitive, industry and market risks. The Board also considered the risk that Parent could withdraw its proposal if the Company delayed in proceeding with Parent’s bid.

Value . The Board believed that the Per Share Merger Consideration of $8.71 represented full and fair value for the Company’s shares, taking into account the Company’s intrinsic value, the auction process that the Company followed prior to signing the Merger Agreement and the Board’s familiarity with the business strategy, assets and prospects, and the relative certainty of the consideration in cash as compared to forecasted financial results.

Negotiations with Parent and Terms of the Merger Agreement . The Board believed that the Per Share Merger Consideration represented the highest value reasonably obtainable for the Company’s shares, based on the progress and outcome of its negotiations with Parent and the auction process preceding the signing of the Merger Agreement, especially given the absence of a financing condition and the high certainty of closing, as compared to the alternatives which were negotiated and discussed in the auction process. In particular, the Board believed, based on these negotiations and discussions, and after obtaining all the information which it deemed to be necessary for the purpose thereof, that it was unlikely to reach a definitive merger agreement with either of the two alternative bidders that participated in the auction process and therefore the consideration offered by such alternative bidders (one of which was higher than the purchase price offered by Parent) did not represent the highest value reasonably obtainable for the Company’s shares. The considerations that the Board took into account in reaching such determination included the inability of either of the alternative bidders that participated in the process to provide acceptable proof of financing, including, in the case of one or both bidders, as applicable, the conditionality of the financing in the documents provided, the lack of customary financing documents, inability to provide proof of funds and/or inclusion of financing as a condition to closing in the proposed merger agreements. In addition, the terms of the proposed merger agreements from both alternative bidders were less favorable than those of the Merger Agreement, particularly as they related to certainty of closing. The Board further believed, based on these negotiations and discussions, that the Per Share Merger Consideration was the highest price per share for the Company’s shares that Parent was willing to pay and that the Merger Agreement contained the most favorable terms to the Company to which Parent was willing to agree. Terms of the Merger Agreement supporting the Board’s belief that the Merger Agreement was advisable and in the best interest of the Company’s shareholders include:

Ability to Respond to Certain Unsolicited Acquisition Proposals — the Merger Agreement permits the Board to engage in negotiations or discussions with any third-party that has made an unsolicited bona fide written acquisition proposal that the Board, acting upon the recommendation of the Committee, determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a superior proposal if such action is reasonably likely to be necessary in order for the directors to comply with their fiduciary duties under applicable Law (assuming the laws of Israel follow those of Delaware with respect to these matters).

Change of Recommendation — either in the event that the Company receives a superior proposal or in the event of an intervening event (as defined in the Merger Agreement and summarized in “The Agreement and Plan of Merger—Non-Solicitation; Acquisition Proposals; Change in Recommendations”), the Board has the right, prior to obtaining shareholder approval of the Merger Proposal, to withhold, withdraw, modify or qualify, in any manner adverse to Parent, its recommendation to its shareholders of the Merger Proposal if the Board, acting upon the recommendation of the Committee, concludes in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel that such action is reasonably likely to be necessary in order for the directors to comply with their fiduciary duties under applicable Law (assuming the laws of Israel follow those of Delaware with respect to these matters); provided that the Board may not make such a Company adverse recommendation change unless (i) the Company notifies Parent in writing at least four business days before the Company adverse recommendation change of its intention to take such action, and provides Parent with certain information relating to the superior proposal or intervening event, (ii) the Company negotiates in good faith with Parent concerning any revisions to the terms of the Merger Agreement that Parent may propose in response to such superior proposal or intervening event, and (iii) the Board determines that, in the case of a superior proposal, such acquisition proposal continues to constitute a superior proposal, and in the case of the intervening event, such intervening event continues to materially adversely affect the advisability of the Merger Agreement and the Merger to the Company from a financial point of view, in each case after giving due consideration to any changes proposed to be made to the Merger Agreement by Parent in writing.

Fiduciary Termination Right — the Board may terminate the Merger Agreement to accept a superior proposal (that was not solicited in violation of the Merger Agreement) if (i) the Company has materially complied with requirements set forth in the previous bullet and (ii) in connection with such termination, the Company pays to Parent a termination fee of $5,738,297.

Conditions to Consummation of the Merger; Likelihood of Closing — the fact that Parent’s obligations to close the Merger are subject to a limited number of conditions and the Board’s belief that the Merger is reasonably likely to be consummated.

No Financing Condition —the Transaction is not subject to a financing condition.

Remedies —remedies include specific performance and uncapped damages resulting from any willful and material breach of the Merger Agreement.

Shareholder Approval . The Merger is subject to the approval of Company shareholders, and the shareholders are free to reject the Merger.

Solvency Determination . The Board considered the financial position of the merging companies, based, among other things, on (i) the representations provided by Parent and Merger Sub in the Merger Agreement, (ii) the identity of the shareholder of the Surviving Corporation after the consummation of the Merger, (iii) the events and resolutions of the Board following the date of the most recent audited consolidated financial statements of the Company or the most recent reviewed consolidated financial statements of the Company, which may have, in the opinion of the Board, a material effect on the information included in such financial statements, and (iv) any liens on Company assets and any liens on the assets of the Surviving Corporation which could materialize as a result of the consummation of the Merger, and determined that no reasonable concern existed that the Surviving Corporation will be unable to fulfill the obligations of the Company to its creditors as such become due and payable following the consummation of the Merger.

Each of these factors favored the Board’s conclusion that the Transaction was in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders.

The Board also considered a variety of risks or potentially adverse factors in making its determination and recommendation. These factors included:

No Shareholder Participation in Future Growth or Earnings . The fact that, following the Transaction, the Company will cease to be a public company and its current shareholders will no longer participate in any of its potential future growth or benefit from any future increase in the Company’s value.

Risk Associated with Failure to Complete and Consummate the Merger . The possibility that the Transaction might not be consummated, and the fact that if the Transaction is not consummated, (i) the Company’s directors, senior management and other employees will have expended extensive time and effort and will have experienced significant distractions from their work during the pendency of the Transaction, (ii) the Company will have incurred significant transaction costs, (iii) the Company’s continuing business relationships with consultants, licensors, business partners and employees may be adversely affected, (iv) the trading price of the Company shares could be adversely affected and (v) the market’s perceptions of the Company’s prospects could be adversely affected.

Interim Restrictions on Business Pending the Completion of the Merger . Restrictions on the conduct of the Company’s business prior to the effective time of the Merger due to pre-closing covenants in the Merger Agreement whereby the Company agreed that it will carry on its business in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and, subject to specified exceptions, will not take a number of actions related to the conduct of its business without the prior written consent of Parent, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to respond to changing market and business conditions in a timely manner or at all.

Effects of Transaction Announcement . The effect of the public announcement of the Merger Agreement, including effects on the Company’s share price, and the Company’s ability to attract and retain key management and personnel, during the pendency of the Transaction, as well as the likelihood of litigation in connection with the Merger.

Timing Risks . The amount of time it could take to complete the Merger, including the risk that Parent and the Company might not receive the necessary regulatory approvals or clearances to complete the Merger or that governmental authorities could attempt to condition their approvals or clearances of the Merger on one or more of the parties’ compliance with certain terms or conditions which may cause one or more of the Merger conditions not to be satisfied, or that creditors (if any) may file objections in Israeli court to prevent or delay the Merger. The fact that Parent has the ability to assign the Merger Agreement could delay the timing of closing though not beyond the outside date as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Other Interested Parties . The fact that other parties expressed interest in acquiring the Company, but with greater uncertainty around reaching an acceptable deal particularly as it relates to each of those parties’ ability to finance the transaction.

No Solicitation . The terms of the Merger Agreement that place certain limitations on the Company’s ability to further shop the Company.

Company Termination Fee . The fact that the Company may be required to pay Parent a termination fee in the event that the Company were to terminate the Merger Agreement to accept another proposal.

Taxable Considerations . The fact that, for U.S. federal income tax and Israeli income tax and capital gains tax purposes, the Per Share Merger Consideration will generally be taxable to the shareholders of the Company being paid the consideration.

This discussion of the information and factors considered by the Board in reaching its conclusions and recommendation includes all of the material factors considered by the Board but is not intended to be exhaustive. In view of the wide variety of factors considered by the Board in evaluating the Transaction and the complexity of these matters, the Board did not find it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weight to those factors. In addition, different members of the Board may have given different weight to different factors.

Opinion of BofA Merrill Lynch

The Company retained BofA Merrill Lynch to act as the Company’s financial advisor in connection with the Merger. BofA Merrill Lynch is an internationally recognized investment banking firm which is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for corporate and other purposes. The Company selected BofA Merrill Lynch to act as the Company’s financial advisor in connection with the Merger on the basis of BofA Merrill Lynch’s experience in transactions similar to the Merger, its reputation in the investment community and its familiarity with the Company and its business.

On November 8, 2017, at a meeting of the Board held to evaluate the Merger, BofA Merrill Lynch delivered to the Board an oral opinion, confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated November 8, 2017, to the effect that, as of that date and based on and subject to various assumptions and limitations described in the opinion, the Per Share Merger Consideration to be received in the Merger by holders of Company ordinary shares was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders.

The full text of BofA Merrill Lynch’s written opinion, dated November 8, 2017, to the Board, which describes, among other things, the assumptions made, procedures followed, factors considered and limitations on the review undertaken, is attached as Annex B to this proxy statement and is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. The following summary of BofA Merrill Lynch’s opinion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion. BofA Merrill Lynch delivered its opinion to the Board for the benefit and use of the Board (in its capacity as such) in connection with and for purposes of its evaluation of the Per Share Merger Consideration, from a financial point of view. BofA Merrill Lynch’s opinion did not address any other aspect of the Merger, and no opinion or view was expressed as to the relative merits of the Merger in comparison to other strategies or transactions that might be available to the Company or in which the Company might engage or as to the underlying business decision of the Company to proceed with or effect the Merger. BofA Merrill Lynch’s opinion does not address any other aspect of the Merger and does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder as to how to vote or act in connection with the proposed Merger or any related matter.

In connection with rendering its opinion, BofA Merrill Lynch, among other things:

reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information relating to the Company;

reviewed certain internal financial and operating information with respect to the business, operations and prospects of the Company furnished to or discussed with BofA Merrill Lynch by the Company’s management, including certain financial forecasts relating to the Company (including financial forecasts relating to the magicJack Spark initiative) prepared by the Company’s management, referred to as the “magicJack forecasts”, and discussed with the Company’s management its assessment of the probability of success of the magicJack Spark initiative reflected in the magicJack forecasts;

reviewed a draft, dated November 8, 2017, of the Merger Agreement, referred to as the “draft merger agreement”; and

performed such other analyses and studies and considered such other information and factors as BofA Merrill Lynch deemed appropriate.

In arriving at its opinion, BofA Merrill Lynch assumed and relied upon, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of the financial and other information and data publicly available or provided to or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with BofA Merrill Lynch and relied upon the assurances of the Company’s management that they were not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make such information or data inaccurate or misleading in any material respect. With respect to the magicJack forecasts, BofA Merrill Lynch was advised by the Company, and assumed, that they were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and good faith judgments of the Company’s management as to the future financial performance of the Company. BofA Merrill Lynch also relied, at the direction of the Company, on the assessment of the Company’s management of the probability of success of the magicJack Spark initiative reflected in the magicJack forecasts. BofA Merrill Lynch did not make and was not provided with any independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of the Company, nor did BofA Merrill Lynch make any physical inspection of the properties or assets of the Company. BofA Merrill Lynch did not evaluate the solvency or fair value of the Company or B. Riley under any state, federal or other laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. BofA Merrill Lynch assumed, at the direction of the Company, that the Merger would be consummated in accordance with its terms, without waiver, modification or amendment of any material term, condition or agreement and that, in the course of obtaining the necessary governmental, regulatory and other approvals, consents, releases and waivers for the Merger, no delay, limitation, restriction or condition, including any divestiture requirements or amendments or modifications, would be imposed that would have an adverse effect on the Company or the contemplated benefits of the Merger. BofA Merrill Lynch also assumed, at the direction of the Company, that the final executed merger agreement would not differ in any material respect from the draft merger agreement reviewed by BofA Merrill Lynch.

BofA Merrill Lynch expressed no view or opinion as to any terms or other aspects of the Merger (other than the Per Share Merger Consideration to the extent expressly specified in its opinion), including, without limitation, the form or structure of the Merger. BofA Merrill Lynch’s opinion was limited to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Per Share Merger Consideration to be received by holders of Company ordinary shares and no opinion or view was expressed with respect to any consideration received in connection with the Merger by the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of any party. In addition, no opinion or view was expressed with respect to the fairness (financial or otherwise) of the amount, nature or any other aspect of any compensation to any of the officers, directors or employees of any party to the Merger, or class of such persons, relative to the Per Share Merger Consideration. Furthermore, BofA Merrill Lynch expressed no opinion or view as to the relative merits of the Merger in comparison to other strategies or transactions that might be available to the Company or in which the Company might engage or as to the underlying business decision of the Company to proceed with or effect the Merger. In addition, BofA Merrill Lynch expressed no opinion or recommendation as to how any shareholder should vote or act in connection with the Merger or any related matter.

BofA Merrill Lynch’s opinion was necessarily based on financial, economic, monetary, market and other conditions and circumstances as in effect on, and the information made available to BofA Merrill Lynch as of, the date of its opinion. It should be understood that subsequent developments may affect BofA Merrill Lynch’s opinion, and BofA Merrill Lynch does not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion. The issuance of BofA Merrill Lynch’s opinion was approved by a fairness opinion review committee of BofA Merrill Lynch.

The discussion set forth below in “—magicJack Financial Analyses” represents a brief summary of the material financial analyses presented by BofA Merrill Lynch to the Board in connection with BofA Merrill Lynch’s opinion, dated November 8, 2017. The financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses performed by BofA Merrill Lynch, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses performed by BofA Merrill Lynch. Considering the data set forth in the tables below without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the financial analyses performed by BofA Merrill Lynch.

magicJack Financial Analyses

Selected Publicly Traded Companies Analysis . BofA Merrill Lynch reviewed publicly available financial and stock market information for the Company and the six selected publicly traded companies listed below. For each of the Company and the selected publicly traded companies, BofA Merrill Lynch calculated and reviewed, among other things:

its implied growth rate represented by its estimated revenue for calendar year 2017 compared to its estimated revenue for calendar year 2018; and

its enterprise value, calculated as its equity value based on its closing share price on November 3, 2017, plus its total debt, preferred equity and minority interests less its cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments, in each case based on the company’s most recent public filings, as a multiple of its estimated revenue for each of calendar years 2017 and 2018.

The estimated revenue data used for the selected publicly traded companies were based on publicly available research analysts’ estimates and the estimated revenue data for the Company was from the magicJack forecasts.

The results of BofA Merrill Lynch’s calculations were as follows:

Company	CY 2017E EV/Revenue	CY 2018E EV/Revenue	2017-2018 Growth Rate
8x8, Inc.	4.27x	3.62x	17.8%
Five9, Inc.	7.84x	6.67x	17.6%
LivePerson, Inc.	3.16x	2.95x	7.3%
Ooma, Inc.	1.39x	1.29x	8.3%
RingCentral, Inc.	7.26x	5.87x	23.7%
Vonage Holdings Corp.	2.29x	2.23x	2.3%
Mean	4.37x	3.77x	12.8%

magicJack	0.69x	0.70x	(1.2)%

Based on its professional judgment and experience and after taking into consideration, among other things, the observed data for the selected publicly traded companies and for the Company, BofA Merrill Lynch applied 2018 revenue multiples of 0.75x to 1.25x to the Company’s calendar year 2018 estimated revenue as reflected in the magicJack forecasts. This analysis indicated the following approximate implied per share equity value reference range for the Company, as compared to the Per Share Merger Consideration:

Implied Per Share Equity Value Reference Range for the Company		Per Share Merger Consideration
$6.34 to $8.98		$8.71

The selected publicly traded companies were selected because they are unified communications companies with end-markets and customers similar to those of the Company. However, none of the selected publicly traded companies used in this analysis is identical or directly comparable to the Company. Accordingly, an evaluation of the results of this analysis is not entirely mathematical. Rather, this analysis involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics and other factors that could affect the public trading or other values of the companies to which the Company was compared.

Selected Precedent Transactions Analysis . BofA Merrill Lynch reviewed, to the extent publicly available, financial information relating to 19 selected transactions that involved target companies that, in the professional judgment of BofA Merrill Lynch, were “slow growth” technology companies. For each of these transactions, BofA Merrill Lynch reviewed and calculated:

the transaction value, calculated as the enterprise value implied for the target company based on the Per Share Merger Consideration payable in the selected transaction, as a multiple of the target company’s last twelve months revenue, or “LTM revenue” and the target company’s estimated next twelve months revenue, or “NTM revenue,” in each as of the announcement of the relevant transaction and based on publicly available information at that time; and

the implied growth rate represented by the target company’s LTM revenue as compared to its NTM revenue.

The results of BofA Merrill Lynch’s calculations with respect to transactions involving “slow growth” target companies were as follows:

Median			1.27x	1.20x	1.8%

In addition, BofA Merrill Lynch reviewed, to the extent publicly available, financial information relating to 24 selected transactions that involved target companies that were technology companies, which in the professional judgment of BofA Merrill Lynch, had industry-standard growth profiles. For each of these transactions, BofA Merrill Lynch reviewed and calculated the transaction value as a multiple of the target company’s NTM revenue as of the announcement of the relevant transaction and based on publicly available information at that time.

The results of BofA Merrill Lynch’s calculations with respect to transactions involving target companies with industry-standard growth profiles were as follows:

Based on its professional judgment and experience and after taking into consideration, among other things, the observed data for the selected precedent transactions, BofA Merrill Lynch then applied a selected range of revenue multiples of 1.00x to 1.50x, derived from the selected transactions involving “slow growth” target companies, to the Company’s calendar year 2017 estimated revenue as reflected in the magicJack forecasts. This analysis indicated the following approximate implied per share equity value reference range for the Company, as compared to the Per Share Merger Consideration:

Implied Per Share Equity Value Reference Range for the Company		Per Share Merger Consideration
$7.73 to $10.40		$8.71

No company, business or transaction used in this analysis is identical or directly comparable to the Company or the Merger. Accordingly, an evaluation of the results of this analysis is not entirely mathematical. Rather, this analysis involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics and other factors that could affect the acquisition or other values of the companies, business segments or transactions to which the Company and the Merger were compared.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis . BofA Merrill Lynch performed a discounted cash flow analysis of the Company, excluding any expected benefits from the magicJack Spark initiative, to calculate the estimated present value of the unlevered, after-tax free cash flows that the Company was forecasted to generate during the Company’s fiscal years 2018 through 2022, based on the magicJack forecasts. BofA Merrill Lynch calculated terminal values for the Company as of the end of 2022 by applying perpetuity growth rates ranging from (3.0%) to 0.0% to the Company’s normalized estimated unlevered, after-tax free cash flows based on the Company’s 2022 estimated stand-alone unlevered, after-tax free cash flows reflected in the magicJack forecasts. The cash flows and terminal values were then discounted to present value as of January 1, 2018 using discount rates ranging from 18.0% to 22.0%, which were based on an estimate of the Company’s weighted average cost of capital. This analysis indicated the following approximate implied per share equity value reference range for the Company, excluding any expected benefits from the magicJack Spark initiative:

Implied Per Share Equity Value Reference Range (excluding the magicJack Spark Initiative)

$6.50 to $7.42

BofA Merrill Lynch also performed a discounted cash flow analysis of the Company’s management’s expected benefits of the magicJack Spark initiative to calculate the estimated present value of the unlevered, after-tax free cash flows that the magicJack Spark initiative was forecasted to generate during the Company’s fiscal years 2018 through 2022, based on the magicJack forecasts. BofA Merrill Lynch calculated terminal values for the magicJack Spark initiative as of the end of 2022 by applying perpetuity growth rates ranging from 2.0% to 5.0% to normalized estimated unlevered, after-tax free cash flows based on the Company’s 2022 estimated stand-alone unlevered, after-tax free cash flows from the magicJack Spark initiative as reflected in the magicJack forecasts. The cash flows and terminal values were then discounted to present value as of January 1, 2018 using discount rates ranging from 18.0% to 22.0%, which were based on an estimate of the Company’s weighted average cost of capital. In addition, at the direction of the Company’s management, BofA Merrill Lynch applied a 10% probability of success weighting to the magicJack Spark initiative for purposes of its analysis. This analysis indicated the following approximate implied per share equity value reference range for the magicJack Spark initiative.

Implied Per Share Equity Value Reference Range for the magicJack Spark Initiative

$0.44 to $0.69

Adding the approximate implied per share equity value reference range indicated for the Company excluding the magicJack Spark initiative and the approximate implied per share equity value reference range indicated for the magicJack Spark initiative, this analysis indicated the following approximate implied per share equity value reference range for the Company, as compared to the Per Share Merger Consideration:

Implied Per Share Equity Value Reference Range		Per Share Merger Consideration
$6.94 to $8.11		$8.71

Other Factor

BofA Merrill Lynch also reviewed the historical trading prices of the Company ordinary shares during the 52‑week period ended November 3, 2017, noting that the low and high closing prices per share during such period were $5.65 and $8.90. This additional factor was not considered part of BofA Merrill Lynch’s material financial analyses with respect to its opinion, but was referenced for informational purposes.

Miscellaneous

As noted above, the discussion set forth above is a summary of the financial analyses presented by BofA Merrill Lynch to the Board in connection with its opinion and is not a comprehensive description of all analyses undertaken or factors considered by BofA Merrill Lynch in connection with its opinion. The preparation of a financial opinion is a complex analytical process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore, a financial opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. BofA Merrill Lynch believes that the analyses summarized above must be considered as a whole. BofA Merrill Lynch further believes that selecting portions of its analyses and the factors considered or focusing on information presented in tabular format, without considering all analyses and factors or the narrative description of the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the processes underlying BofA Merrill Lynch’s analyses and opinion. The fact that any specific analysis has been referred to in the summary above is not meant to indicate that such analysis was given greater weight than any other analysis referred to in the summary.

In performing its analyses, BofA Merrill Lynch considered industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. The estimates of the future performance of the Company in or underlying BofA Merrill Lynch’s analyses are not necessarily indicative of actual values or actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those estimates or those suggested by BofA Merrill Lynch’s analyses. These analyses were prepared solely as part of BofA Merrill Lynch’s analysis of the fairness, from a financial point of view of the Per Share Merger Consideration to be received by holders of Company ordinary shares in the Merger and were provided to the Board in connection with the delivery of BofA Merrill Lynch’s opinion. The analyses do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which the Company might actually be sold or acquired or the prices at which any securities of the Company have traded or may trade at any time in the future. Accordingly, the estimates used in, and the ranges of valuations resulting from, any particular analysis described above are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty and should not be taken to be BofA Merrill Lynch’s view of the actual values of the Company.

The type and amount of consideration payable in the Merger was determined through negotiations between the Company and B. Riley, rather than by any financial advisor, and was approved by the Board. The decision to enter into the Merger Agreement was solely that of the Board. As described above, BofA Merrill Lynch’s opinion and analyses were only one of many factors considered by the Board in its evaluation of the Merger and should not be viewed as determinative of the views of the Board, the Company’s management or any other party with respect to the Merger or the Per Share Merger Consideration.

In connection with BofA Merrill Lynch’s services as the Company’s financial advisor, the Company has agreed to pay BofA Merrill Lynch an aggregate fee of up to $3.5 million, of which $1 million was payable upon delivery of its opinion. In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse BofA Merrill Lynch for its expenses, including fees and expenses of BofA Merrill Lynch’s legal counsel, incurred in connection with BofA Merrill Lynch’s engagement and to indemnify BofA Merrill Lynch and related persons against liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws, arising out of BofA Merrill Lynch’s engagement.

BofA Merrill Lynch and its affiliates comprise a full service securities firm and commercial bank engaged in securities, commodities and derivatives trading, foreign exchange and other brokerage activities, and principal investing as well as providing investment, corporate and private banking, asset and investment management, financing and financial advisory services and other commercial services and products to a wide range of companies, governments and individuals. In the ordinary course of their businesses, BofA Merrill Lynch and its affiliates may invest on a principal basis or on behalf of customers or manage funds that invest, make or hold long or short positions, finance positions or trade or otherwise effect transactions in the equity, debt or other securities or financial instruments (including derivatives, bank loans or other obligations) of the Company, B. Riley and certain of their respective affiliates.

BofA Merrill Lynch and its affiliates in the past have provided, currently are providing, and in the future may provide, investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services to B. Riley, including entities that have been acquired by B. Riley, and have received or in the future may receive compensation for the rendering of these services, including having provided or providing certain treasury management services and equity and derivatives trading services to B. Riley. From November 1, 2015 through October 31, 2017, BofA Merrill Lynch and its affiliates derived aggregate revenues from B. Riley and its affiliates, other than entities acquired by B. Riley during such period, of less than $1 million for investment and corporate banking services, and derived aggregate revenues from B. Riley and its affiliates, including entities acquired by B. Riley during such period, of approximately $3 million for investment and corporate banking services.

Subsequent BofA Merrill Lynch Confirmation

On December 22, 2017, subsequent to BofA Merrill Lynch having rendered to the Board BofA Merrill Lynch’s opinion, dated November 8, 2017, summarized above, President Trump signed into law the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act (“TCJA”).

At the request of the Board, a representative of BofA Merrill Lynch confirmed to the Board at a meeting of the Board held on January 9, 2018 that had the TCJA been enacted prior to November 8, 2017, it would not have changed the conclusion set forth in BofA Merrill Lynch’s opinion, dated November 8, 2017 .

For purposes of providing this confirmation to the Board, at the direction of the Board, BofA Merrill Lynch relied solely upon the magicJack forecasts and applying, at the direction of the Company management, a 21% federal corporate tax rate, referred to as the “magicJack TCJA-effected forecasts”. BofA Merrill Lynch was advised by the Company, and assumed, that the magicJack TCJA-effected forecasts were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best available estimates and good faith judgments of the Company’s management as to the future financial performance of the Company, as of November 8, 2017, the date of BofA Merrill Lynch’s opinion, had the TCJA then been in effect.

At a meeting of the Board held on January 9, 2018, BofA Merrill Lynch presented to the Board an update to the discounted cash flow analysis that it had previously performed and presented to the Board ( summarized above under “ Discounted Cash Flow Analysis ”) . For purposes of its updated discounted cash flow analysis, BofA Merrill Lynch used the magicJack TCJA-effected forecasts and applied discount rates ranging from 19.0% to 23.0%, based on an estimate of the Company’s weighted average cost of capital derived using the 21% federal corporate tax rate reflected in the magicJack TCJA-effected forecasts (instead of the 18.0% to 22.0% discount rate range used by BofA Merrill Lynch in its previous discounted cash flow analysis, which had reflected an estimate of the Company’s weighted average cost of capital derived using a pre-TCJA 35% federal corporate tax rate at the direction of Company management). For purposes of its updated discounted cash flow analysis, BofA Merrill Lynch applied the same range of perpetuity growth rates ((3.0%) to 0.0%), and, at the direction of Company management, the same probability of success weighting to the magicJack Spark initiative (10%), as were applied by BofA Merrill Lynch in performing its previous discounted cash flow analysis.

BofA Merrill Lynch’s updated discounted cash flow analysis indicated (i) an approximate implied per share equity value reference range for the Company, excluding any expected benefits from the magicJack Spark initiative , of $7.16 to $8.17, (ii) an approximate implied per share equity value reference range for the magicJack Spark Initiative of $0.51 to $0.78, and (iii) an approximate implied per share equity value reference range for the Company, including the expected benefits from the magicJack Spark initiative, of $7.67 to $8.95, compared to the Per Share Merger Consideration of $8.71.

BofA Merrill Lynch was not asked to, and did not, update its selected publicly traded companies and the selected precedent transaction analyses (summarized above under “ Selected Publicly Traded Companies Analysis” and “Selected Precedent Transactions Analysis”) for the Board meeting on January 9, 2018 because these analyses were not affected by the change to the Company’s federal corporate tax rate incorporated in the magicJack TCJA-effected forecasts. BofA Merrill Lynch’s confirmation to the Board did not address any conditions or circumstances occurring after the date of the BofA Merrill Lynch’s opinion other than the enactment of the TCJA. By providing its confirmation, BofA Merrill Lynch did not assume any obligation to further update, revise, or reaffirm its opinion in respect of the TCJA or otherwise.

Certain magicJack Unaudited Prospective Financial Information

In connection with the Merger, Company management prepared certain forecasts for internal use and provided them to the Board for the purposes of considering, analyzing and evaluating the Company’s strategic and financial alternatives, including the Merger. The magicJack forecasts were also provided to BofA Merrill Lynch in connection with performing its financial analysis related to rendering its opinion to the Board and were provided by the Company to B. Riley to evaluate a potential acquisition of the Company.

Except for limited quarterly guidance, the Company does not as a matter of course make public projections as to future revenue, earnings or other results due, among other reasons, to the inherent difficulty in accurately predicting financial performance for future periods and the uncertainty of underlying assumptions and estimates. However, Company management provides below certain limited unaudited prospective financial information in order to provide the Company’s shareholders with access to otherwise nonpublic information that was made available to the Board, BofA Merrill Lynch and B. Riley for purposes of considering and evaluating the Merger. Such prospective financial information was not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or with a view toward complying with the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants with respect to prospective financial information, but, in the view of the Company's management, was prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting the best available estimates and judgments, and presented, to the best of Company management's knowledge and belief, the expected course of action and the expected future financial performance of the Company at the time of their preparation. However, this information is not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. Readers of this proxy statement are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the prospective financial information.

Neither the Company’s independent auditors, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the prospective financial information contained herein, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the prospective financial information.

The assumptions and estimates underlying the prospective financial information are inherently uncertain and, though considered reasonable by Company management as of the date of the preparation of the information, are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information, including, among others, risks and uncertainties described in the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” on page 17 of this proxy statement. The risks and uncertainties could cause the magicJack forecasts and/or the underlying assumptions to be inaccurate. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the projections are indicative of the future performance of the Company or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the prospective financial information. The Company can give no assurance that, had the unaudited prospective financial information been prepared either as of the date of the Merger Agreement or as of the date of this proxy statement, similar estimates and assumptions would be used.

The Company does not generally publish its business plans and strategies or, except for limited quarterly guidance, make external disclosures of its anticipated financial position or results of operations. Accordingly, the Company does not intend to update or otherwise revise the prospective financial information to reflect circumstances existing since its preparation or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, even in the event that any or all of the underlying assumptions are shown to be in error. Furthermore, the Company does not intend to update or revise the prospective financial information to reflect changes in general economic or industry conditions.

Additional information relating to the principal assumptions used in preparing the projections is set forth below. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page 17 of this proxy statement for a description of various risk factors that could materially affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, business, prospects, and securities.

The inclusion of the magicJack forecasts should not be regarded as an indication that the Board, the Company, BofA Merrill Lynch, B. Riley or any other recipient of this information considered, or now considers, such information to be an assurance of the achievement of future results or an accurate prediction of future results, and they should not be relied upon as such.

The magicJack forecasts and the underlying assumptions upon which the magicJack forecasts were based are subjective in many respects and subject to multiple interpretations and revisions based on actual experience and business developments. The magicJack forecasts reflect numerous assumptions with respect to the Company performance, industry performance, general business, economic, regulatory, market, and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are difficult to predict, subject to significant economic and competitive uncertainties, and beyond the Company’s control. As a result, there can be no assurance that the magicJack forecasts will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than projected. Because the magicJack forecasts cover multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less reliable with each successive year. The magicJack forecasts do not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date on which they were prepared. Economic and business environments can and do change quickly, which adds an additional significant level of uncertainty as to whether the results portrayed in the magicJack forecasts will be achieved. As a result, the inclusion of the magicJack forecasts in this proxy statement does not constitute an admission or representation by the Company or any other person that the information is material. The summary of the magicJack forecasts is not provided to influence the Company’s shareholders’ decisions regarding whether to vote for the Merger Proposal.

The magicJack forecasts were not prepared with a view toward compliance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or published guidelines of the SEC regarding projections or forward-looking statements; provided, however, that the revenue and income from operations forecast was prepared in a manner consistent with GAAP.

In light of the foregoing factors and the uncertainties inherent in the magicJack forecasts, the Company’s shareholders are cautioned not to place undue, if any, reliance on the information presented in the summary of the magicJack forecasts that follows.

As part of its discounted cash flow analysis, BofA Merrill Lynch calculated estimated after-tax unlevered free cash flow based upon financial information provided by Company management for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022. BofA Merrill Lynch calculated after-tax unlevered free cash flow as (a) Adjusted EBITDA, less, (b) taxes, less (c) capital expenditures, less (d) change in working capital. Working capital was calculated by BofA Merrill Lynch as current assets plus certain other assets minus current liabilities minus certain other liabilities (including deferred revenue), excluding cash and cash equivalents, income taxes payable, the current portion of long-term debt, and discontinued operations. Estimated after-tax unlevered free cash flow based upon information contained in Company management’s forecasts and assumptions approved for use by the Company, which amounts were approved for BofA Merrill Lynch’s use by the Company, excluding the Spark business, for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 were calculated by BofA Merrill Lynch as $18.8 million, $16.8 million, $14.9 million, $13.5 million and $12.2 million, respectively.

The magicJack forecasts do not take into account the possible financial impact and other effects of the Merger on the Company and do not attempt to predict or suggest future results following the consummation of the Merger. The magicJack forecasts do not give effect to the Merger, including the impact of negotiating or executing the Merger Agreement, the expenses that may be incurred in connection with consummating the Merger, the potential synergies that may be achieved following the consummation of the Merger, the effect on the Company of any business or strategic decision or action that has been or will be taken as a result of the Merger Agreement having been executed, or the effect of any business or strategic decisions or actions that would likely have been taken if the Merger Agreement had not been executed, but that were instead altered, accelerated, postponed or not taken in anticipation of the Merger. Further, the magicJack forecasts do not take into account the effect on the Company of any possible failure of the Merger to occur.

For the foregoing reasons, and considering that Meeting will be held months after the magicJack forecasts were prepared, as well as the uncertainties inherent in any forecasting information, readers of this proxy statement are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the magicJack forecasts. No one has made or makes any representation to any shareholder regarding the information included in the magicJack forecasts. The Company urges all Company shareholders to review the Company’s most recent SEC filings for a description of its reported financial results. See the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Financing of the Transaction

The Transaction is not subject to a financing condition.

Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction

In considering the recommendation of the Board that the Company’s shareholders vote to approve the Merger Proposal, shareholders should be aware that our directors and executive officers have interests in the Merger that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of our shareholders generally. These interests include the potential employment of our executive officers following the Merger with B. Riley or with one of its affiliates; the treatment pursuant to the Merger Agreement of outstanding Company stock options and restricted share awards held by them; potential cash transaction bonuses; and their rights under the Merger Agreement to ongoing indemnification and insurance coverage. The members of the Board were aware of such different or additional interests and considered those interests, among other matters, in negotiating, evaluating, and approving the Merger and the Merger Agreement, and in recommending to the Company’s shareholders that the Merger Proposal be approved.

Bonuses

Upon, and subject to, consummation of the Merger, certain of our current executive officers will be entitled to cash bonuses. These bonuses were approved by the Board and the compensation committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), as required by the Companies Law, prior to our entry into the Merger Agreement. In each case, payment of these bonuses to our current executive officers is conditioned upon the applicable executive officer’s continued employment through the consummation of the Merger.

The bonuses for our named executive officers are set forth in the section below entitled “Golden Parachute Compensation Payable to Named Executive Officers.” These payments include a payment to a former named executive officer.

Severance

Pursuant to their respective employment agreements, each of Dvir Salomon and Kristin Beischel is entitled to receive a severance payment upon his or her termination without “cause” or resignation for “good reason”, in each case prior to or after a “change of control” of the Company. The Merger would constitute a “change of control” as defined in each employment agreement. “Cause” for termination is defined in each employment agreement to exist if (i) the executive commits fraud, theft or embezzlement against the Company; (ii) the executive commits a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude; (iii) the executive breaches any non-competition, confidentiality or non-solicitation agreement with the Company; (iv) the executive’s material breach of the Company’s insider trading policy or corporate communication policy; (v) the executive breaches any of the terms of the employment agreement and fails to cure within thirty days; or (vi) the executive engages in gross negligence or willful misconduct that causes harm to the business and operations of the Company. “Good reason” is defined as (i) a material reduction in the authority, duties or responsibilities of the executive; (ii) any material reduction in the executive’s annual base salary; or (iii) any material breach of the employment agreement by the Company.

If Mr. Salomon or Ms. Beischel is terminated by the Company without cause or terminates employment for good reason before or after the consummation of the Merger, the Company must pay the applicable individual a lump sum equal to one times the sum of his or her base salary and target annual bonus for the year in which the termination occurs.

Our other current executive officers, Don Bell and Thomas Fuller, are not entitled to such severance payments under their employment agreements.

Treatment of Company Equity Awards

Company Stock Options. With the exception of the options held by Don C. Bell III, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, each Company stock option, whether or not vested or exercisable, that is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will, at the effective time of the Merger, become fully vested, to the extent not previously vested, and will automatically be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the product of: (i) the excess of (x) $8.71 over (y) the per share exercise price of such option, and (ii) the number of ordinary shares underlying each such option, which amount will be paid less any applicable withholding taxes. To the extent any outstanding Company stock option has an exercise price that is equal to or greater than $8.71, such options will be cancelled at the effective time of the Merger, and the holder thereof will not be entitled to consideration in connection with such cancellation. All of the options held by Mr. Bell will be cancelled upon the consummation of the Merger.

Company Restricted Shares. Company restricted shares outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will vest as a result of the Merger, only if and to the extent provided by the terms of the award or applicable Company equity plan, and any portion of the award that does not become so vested will be forfeited. Each vested restricted share will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment with respect thereto equal to $8.71 per share, less any applicable withholding taxes. The restricted shares held by each of Mr. Bell, Mr. Fuller and Ms. Beischel will be forfeited upon the effective time of the Merger for no consideration. The restricted shares held by Mr. Salomon will be accelerated and converted into the right to receive the cash payment equal to $8.71 per share, less any applicable withholding taxes.

The table below sets forth the value of equity awards held by the directors and executive officers of the Company that will vest as a result of the Merger, based on each individual’s unvested equity awards as of January 31, 2018.

In addition to the payments reflected here for the Company’s current executive officers, a former named executive officer, Jose Gordo, will be entitled to a cash payment of $760,470 upon the acceleration and cancellation of 87,310 restricted shares. See “—Golden Parachute Compensation Payable to Named Executive Officers,” below at page 58.

(2)

Value calculated based on $8.71 per ordinary share as provided in the Merger Agreement for accelerated restricted stock to be cancelled and converted into the right to receive cash.

Indemnification and Insurance

The Merger Agreement provides that prior to the closing of the Merger, the Company will obtain a prepaid tail policy with a claims period of at least 7 years for the directors and officers of the Company for matters existing or occurring at or prior to the effective time of the Merger, at a level of coverage at least as favorable as the current insurance policies for such persons, provided that the amount paid for such tail policy shall not exceed 300% of the Company’s current premium.

Golden Parachute Compensation

Don C. Bell III Executive Employment Agreement

Bonus on change of control . The executive employment agreement with Mr. Bell (the “Bell Agreement”) provides for a special transaction bonus if the closing of a transaction resulting in a “change of control” (as defined in the Bell Agreement) occurs before the one-year anniversary of the execution date of the Bell Agreement and Mr. Bell is still employed by the Company on the closing date. The Transaction will constitute a change of control for purposes of the Bell Agreement. As indicated in Proposal 2 (the CEO Compensation Proposal), below, the Company has entered into an amendment to the Bell Agreement, subject to shareholder approval as required under Israeli law, to extend the date by which a transaction may close such that Mr. Bell is still eligible for this special transaction bonus in connection with the Merger. The bonus is based on the sales price or Company valuation in the change of control transaction. If the price is equal to or less than $8.50 per share, Mr. Bell receives no bonus. If the price is greater than $8.50 per share but less than $9.50 per share, Mr. Bell is entitled to receive a bonus of $2 million. If the price is greater than $9.50 per share, Mr. Bell is entitled to a $2.5 million bonus. Because the Per Share Merger Consideration is greater than $8.50 per share but less than $9.50 per share, upon the closing of the Transaction, giving effect to the Bell Amendment, Mr. Bell will be entitled to a cash transaction bonus of $2 million. Also on November 9, 2017, the Company and Mr. Bell entered into an amendment to his restricted stock agreement (which is also subject to shareholder approval as required under Israeli law and is included as Proposal 2 in this proxy statement). This amendment provides that the restricted stock awards will be forfeited immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of the Merger. Finally, on November 9, 2017, the Company and Mr. Bell entered into an Equity Rights Contingency Cancellation Agreement pursuant to which all of Mr. Bell’s stock options will be cancelled effective upon the consummation of the Merger.

Termination . Either the Company or Mr. Bell may terminate Mr. Bell’s employment under the Bell Agreement for any reason upon not less than 30 days prior written notice.

(i) Upon termination of Mr. Bell’s employment prior to a change of control by Mr. Bell for good reason (as defined in the Bell Agreement) or by the Company without cause (as defined in the Bell Agreement), Mr. Bell will be entitled to a termination payment equal to two times Mr. Bell’s annual base salary at the time of such termination.

(ii) Upon termination of Mr. Bell’s employment by the resignation of Mr. Bell without good reason or by the Company with cause or by reason of death or disability or for any other reason except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph above or the immediately following paragraph below, Mr. Bell will be due no further compensation other than what is due and owing through the effective date of Mr. Bell’s resignation or termination (including any annual bonus that may be due and payable to Mr. Bell).

(iii) If upon or within six months subsequent to a change of control, Mr. Bell’s employment is terminated by Mr. Bell for good reason or by the Company without cause, Mr. Bell will be entitled to and be paid a termination payment (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to two times the sum of (a) Mr. Bell’s annual base salary at the time of such termination and (b) Mr. Bell’s target annual bonus for the fiscal year in which his employment is terminated (as if the applicable performance criteria have been met at the level that would result in payment of the target annual bonus at the 100% level irrespective of whether or not that is the case); provided, however, that any change of control closes after the six month anniversary of the execution date of the Bell Agreement and the change of control transaction meets a per share threshold price as provided in the Bell Agreement of greater than or equal to $9.51 per share.

Accordingly, if the Merger closes, Mr. Bell will not be entitled to any Change of Control Payment or other termination payment, acceleration of restricted shares or acceleration of options, but will be entitled to the cash bonus of $2 million.

Thomas E.D. Fuller Executive Employment Agreement

Bonus on change of control . The executive employment agreement with Mr. Fuller (the “Fuller Agreement”) provides for a special transaction bonus if the closing of a transaction resulting in a “change of control” (as defined in the Fuller Agreement) occurs before the one-year anniversary of the execution date of the Fuller Agreement and Mr. Fuller is still employed by the Company on the closing date. The Transaction will constitute a change of control for purposes of the Fuller Agreement. The Company entered into an amendment to the Fuller Agreement on November 9, 2017 (the “Fuller Amendment”) to extend the date by which a transaction may close such that Mr. Fuller is still eligible for this special transaction bonus with respect to the Merger. The bonus is based on the sales price or Company valuation in the change of control transaction. If the price is equal to or less than $8.50 per share, Mr. Fuller receives no bonus. If the price is greater than $8.50 per share but less than $9.50 per share, Mr. Fuller is entitled to receive a bonus of $500,000. If the price is greater than $9.50 per share, Mr. Fuller is entitled to a bonus of $706,250. Because the Per Share Merger Consideration is greater than $8.50 per share but less than $9.50 per share, upon the closing of the Merger, giving effect to the Fuller Amendment, Mr. Fuller will be entitled to a cash transaction bonus of $500,000. Also on November 9, 2017, the Company and Mr. Fuller entered into an amendment to his restricted stock agreement. This amendment provides that Mr. Fuller’s restricted shares will be forfeited immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of the Merger.

Termination . Either the Company or Mr. Fuller may terminate Mr. Fuller’s employment under the Fuller Agreement for any reason upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice.

(i) Upon termination of Mr. Fuller’s employment prior to a change of control (as defined in the Fuller Agreement) by Mr. Fuller for good reason (as defined in the Fuller Agreement) or by the Company without cause (as defined in the Fuller Agreement), Mr. Fuller will be entitled to a termination payment equal to one times the sum of (a) Mr. Fuller’s annual base salary at the time of such termination and (b) Mr. Fuller’s target annual bonus for the fiscal year in which his employment is terminated.

(ii) Upon termination of Mr. Fuller’s employment by the resignation of Mr. Fuller without good reason or by the Company with cause or by reason of death or disability or for any other reason except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph above or the immediately following paragraph below, Mr. Fuller will be due no further compensation other than what is due and owing through the effective date of Mr. Fuller’s resignation or termination (including any annual bonus that may be due and payable to Mr. Fuller).

(iii) If upon or within six months subsequent to a change of control, Mr. Fuller’s employment is terminated by him for good reason or by the Company without cause, Mr. Fuller will be entitled to and be paid a termination payment (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to one and one-half times the sum of (a) Mr. Fuller’s annual base salary at the time of such termination and (b) Mr. Fuller’s target annual bonus for the fiscal year in which his employment is terminated (as if the applicable performance criteria have been met at the level that would result in payment of the target annual bonus at the 100% level irrespective of whether or not that is the case); provided, however, that any change of control closes after the six month anniversary of the execution date of the Fuller Agreement and the change of control transaction meets a per share threshold price as provided in the Fuller Agreement that is greater than or equal to $9.51 per share.

Accordingly, if the Merger closes, Mr. Fuller will not be entitled to any Change of Control Payment or other termination payment or acceleration of restricted shares, but will be entitled to the special cash transaction bonus of $500,000.

Kristin Beischel Executive Employment Agreement

Bonus on change of control . The executive employment agreement with Ms. Beischel (the “Beischel Agreement”) provides for a special transaction bonus upon the occurrence of a qualifying change of control transaction of up to $395,833 if the per share sales price of the Company in the transaction is greater than $9.50 per share. If the per share sales price is between $8.50 per share and $9.50 per share, the special transaction bonus would be $283,333. If the per share sales price is less than $8.50, Ms. Beischel would receive no special transaction bonus. Because the Per Share Merger Consideration is $8.71 per share, Ms. Beischel will be entitled to a special transaction bonus of $283,333 as a result of the closing of the Merger. Under her original employment agreement, the special transaction bonus was payable only if the change of control transaction was consummated within one year of her employment agreement (May 8, 2017) and she was still employed by the Company on the closing date. In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Company and Ms. Beischel entered into an amendment to Ms. Beischel’s employment agreement to provide for the payment of the special transaction bonus to Ms. Beischel upon the occurrence of the closing of the Merger at any time (but subject to Ms. Beischel’s continued employment through the closing of the Merger). Concurrently with the amendment to Ms. Beischel’s employment agreement, the Company and Ms. Beischel entered into an amendment to her restricted stock award agreement, pursuant to which the restricted shares held by Ms. Beischel will be forfeited.

Termination . Either the Company or Ms. Beischel may terminate Ms. Beischel’s employment under the Beischel Agreement for any reason upon not less than 30 days prior written notice.

(i) Upon termination of Ms. Beischel’s employment by Ms. Beischel for good reason (as defined in the Beischel Agreement) or by the Company without cause (as defined in the Beischel Agreement), Ms. Beischel will be entitled to a termination payment equal to one times the aggregate of Ms. Beischel’s annual base salary and target annual bonus at the time of such termination. The termination payment will be paid in a lump sum.

(ii) Upon termination of Ms. Beischel’s employment by the resignation of Ms. Beischel without good reason or by the Company with cause or by reason of death or disability or for any other reason except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph above, Ms. Beischel will be due no further compensation other than what is due and owing through the effective date of her resignation or termination (including any annual bonus that may be due and payable).

Ms. Beischel shall only be entitled to the termination payment if she executes and delivers to the Company a general release of claims in a form Ms. Beischel and the Company shall reasonably agree.

Dvir Salomon Executive Employment Agreement

Bonus on change of control . The employment agreement (as amended) with Mr. Salomon (the “Salomon Agreement”) provides for a special transaction bonus upon the occurrence of a qualifying change of control transaction of up to $420,833 if the per share sales price of the Company is greater than $9.50 per share, subject to his continued employment through the occurrence of the transaction. If the per share sales price is between $8.50 per share and $9.50 per share, the special transaction bonus would be $283,333. If the per share sales price is less than $8.50, Mr. Salomon would receive no special transaction bonus. Because the Per Share Merger Consideration is $8.71 per share, Mr. Salomon will be entitled to a special transaction bonus of $283,333, subject to setoff related to acceleration of certain restricted shares granted to him in October 2016 (referred to as the “set-off shares”) as described below, but only if the closing of the Merger occurs on or before May 8, 2018 and Mr. Salomon is employed by the Company on the closing date.

Under the terms of Mr. Salomon’s employment agreement, his special transaction bonus will be reduced by the value of the set-off shares that are accelerated, cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment in connection with the closing of the Merger. For purposes of determining the number of set-off shares, the 50,000 restricted shares granted to Mr. Salomon which were subject to vesting as of the grant date are treated as if they vest ratably based upon the passage of whole calendar months from January 1, 2016 through December 31. Accordingly, the number of set-off shares is calculated as the excess of (i) 50,000 minus (ii) the product of (a) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full calendar months elapsed from January 1, 2016 and the end of the calendar month immediately preceding the closing date, and the denominator of which is 36 months, multiplied by (b) 50,000. As of February 1, 2018, 34,722 restricted shares have vested, leaving 15,278 restricted shares unvested and subject to acceleration upon the closing of the Merger and the set-offs. If the Merger were to close prior to February 28, 2018, Mr. Salomon would be entitled to a payment of $133,071 in connection with the acceleration and cash-out of all of the remaining restricted shares, which would result in a special transaction bonus of approximately $150,262. The number of set-off shares will decline in each month until the Merger closes pursuant to the formula set forth above, which will cause the special transaction bonus payable to Mr. Salomon to increase.

Termination . Either the Company or Mr. Salomon may terminate Mr. Salomon’s employment under the Salomon Agreement for any reason upon not less than 30 days prior written notice.

(i) Upon termination of Mr. Salomon’s employment by Mr. Salomon for good reason (as defined in the Salomon Agreement) or by the Company without cause (as defined in the Salomon Agreement), Mr. Salomon will be entitled to a termination payment equal to one times the aggregate of Mr. Salomon’s annual base salary and target annual bonus at the time of such termination. The payment will be paid in a lump sum.

(ii) Upon termination of Mr. Salomon’s employment by the resignation of Mr. Salomon without good reason or by the Company with cause or by reason of death or disability or for any other reason except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph above, Mr. Salomon will be due no further compensation other than what is due and owing through the effective date of his resignation or termination (including any annual bonus that may be due and payable).

Mr. Salomon shall only be entitled to the termination payment if he executes and delivers to the Company a general release of claims in a form Mr. Salomon and the Company shall reasonably agree.

Jose Gordo Executive Employment Agreement

One former named executive officer, Jose Gordo, had an executive employment agreement with the Company relating to his service as chief financial officer of the company. Mr. Gordo’s employment was terminated on May 25, 2017. As previously disclosed, Mr. Gordo was paid a severance payment of $525,000 and he executed a Separation and Release Agreement. His employment agreement provided that if the Company executed an agreement within six (6) months from the date of his termination which, if consummated, would constitute a “change of control” for purposes of his employment agreement, he would be entitled to a change of control payment.

The payment to which Mr. Gordo is entitled under his employment agreement and separation agreement is $907,725, which is calculated as three times the sum of his base salary at the time of termination ($350,000), plus the target bonus for 2017 to which he would have been entitled ($175,000), less severance already paid to him in connection with his termination ($525,000), and less the 2016 bonus paid to him ($142,275). In addition, certain restricted shares and options held by Mr. Gordo that remained outstanding following his termination of employment pursuant to his Separation and Release Agreement will fully vest upon the consummation of the Merger, and Mr. Gordo will be entitled to receive cash payments in connection with the vesting of these restricted shares, as described in greater detail under the section entitled “Golden Parachute Compensation” on page 54 of this proxy statement. All outstanding options held by Mr. Gordo are at an exercise price of $9.33 per share, greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration. Accordingly, upon consummation of the Merger, Mr. Gordo’s options will be terminated and Mr. Gordo will be entitled to no consideration in connection with such termination.

Golden Parachute Compensation Payable to Named Executive Officers

As required by Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K, the following table sets forth, for our named executive officers, compensation that is based on or otherwise relates to the Merger and that may or will become payable to or realized by such individuals. Specifically, in the event the Merger occurs, the compensation that may or will be paid to or realized by our named executive officers will consist of a special cash transaction bonus for each of Mr. Bell, Mr. Fuller, Mr. Salomon and Ms. Beischel, in each case subject to the terms of the executive officer’s agreement; and a “change of control” payment to Mr. Gordo consisting of base compensation plus bonus less prior severance pay, plus the value of accelerated vesting of restricted shares all as detailed below. In the event of their termination for good reason by them or without cause by the Company, each of Ms. Beischel and Mr. Salomon are also entitled to a termination payment.

The table assumes that: (a) the Per Share Merger Consideration is $8.71 per share; (b) March 31, 2018 is the date of the closing of the Merger; (c) each of Mr. Bell, Mr. Fuller, Ms. Beischel and Mr. Salomon are employed by the Company on the date of the closing of the Merger; and (d) each of Ms. Beischel and Mr. Salomon are terminated either by them for good reason or by the Company without cause.

Please note that the amounts set forth in the table are the subject of a non-binding, advisory vote of our shareholders, as described in the section entitled “Proposal 3 – Golden Parachute Payments” beginning on page 109 of this proxy statement.

Riley made certain filings pursuant to the HSR Act with the United States Department of Justice Antitrust Division, which we refer to as the “DOJ,” and the United States Federal Trade Commission, which we refer to as the “FTC.” Under the HSR Act, the Transaction cannot be completed until the expiration or termination of the initial waiting period or any extension thereof following the submission of complete filings with the DOJ and FTC. The applicable waiting period under the HSR Act expired on January 16, 2018 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time.

FCC and State Approvals. The Company is subject to regulation by the FCC under the Communications Act of 1934, the rules and regulations established by the FCC and codified in Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations and the effective orders, rulings and written policies of the FCC (the “Communications Act”). The Company holds a number of FCC authorizations related to the provision of regulated services. FCC approval is required before the Company may transfer control of its authorizations. The Company is subject to similar communications regulation by some state regulators. The Company and Parent have submitted to the FCC and state regulators all filings and requests for consent to the change in ownership of the Company required at this time. Other filings required to be made or consents required to be obtained as a condition to closing of the Merger have been or will be made by the Company.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations of the Transaction

General

The following is a general discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Transaction to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of Company ordinary shares who receive cash in exchange for their Company ordinary shares in the Transaction. The following discussion does not purport to consider all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that might be relevant to a U.S. Holder.

This discussion is based on current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), final, temporary and proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations, judicial opinions, published positions of the IRS, and the United States-Israel Income Tax Treaty (the “US-Israel Tax Treaty”), all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to differing interpretations or change, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax considerations that may apply to a holder as a result of the Transaction or as a result of the ownership and disposition of Company ordinary shares. In addition, this discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to particular holders nor does it take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such holder, and accordingly, is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, tax advice. This discussion does not address the U.S. federal 3.8% Medicare tax imposed on certain net investment income or any aspects of U.S. federal taxation other than those pertaining to the income tax, nor does it address any tax consequences arising under any U.S. state and local tax laws. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding such tax consequences in light of their particular circumstances.

We have not sought, and will not seek, any ruling from the IRS or any opinion of counsel with respect to the tax consequences discussed herein, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a position contrary to the tax consequences discussed herein or that any position taken by the IRS would not be sustained.

The following discussion applies to you only if you hold your Company ordinary shares as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This section does not apply to you if you are a member of a class of holders subject to special rules under the U.S. federal income tax laws, including, without limitation:

a dealer in securities or currencies;

a trader in securities that elects to use a mark-to-market method of accounting;

a bank or other financial institution;

an underwriter or insurance company;

a regulated investment company;

a real estate investment trust;

a controlled foreign corporation;

persons subject to alternative minimum tax;

persons who acquire shares as compensation for services;

partnerships or other pass-through entities, and investors in such entities;

a tax-exempt organization;

a U.S. holder whose functional currency for tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar;

a person who owns or is deemed to own 10% or more of our voting stock or of the total value of our stock; or

a U.S. expatriate.

As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Company ordinary shares that does not own directly, constructively or by attribution 10% or more of the Company ordinary shares and is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

a citizen or resident individual of the U.S.;

a domestic corporation;

a domestic partnership;

an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

a trust (a) if a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S. persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

This section does not consider the specific facts and circumstances that may be relevant to a particular U.S. Holder, nor the income tax treatment to a U.S. Holder under the laws of any state, local or certain foreign jurisdictions.

Please consult your own tax advisor concerning the consequences of the receipt of cash for your Company ordinary shares in the Transaction based upon your particular circumstances, as well as any tax consequences that may arise under the laws of any state, local or certain foreign taxing jurisdictions.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Holders of the Disposition of Company Ordinary Shares

Subject to the discussion in the following paragraph, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize gain or loss on any sale, exchange, redemption, or other taxable disposition of Company ordinary shares in an amount equal to the difference between the cash received in the Transaction and such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such shares. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder on a taxable disposition of Company ordinary shares generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holder’s holding period in such shares exceeds one (1) year at the time of the disposition. Preferential tax rates may apply to long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. Holders (including individuals). The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder on the sale or exchange of Company ordinary shares generally will be treated as a U.S. source gain or loss.

The Company believes that it is not and never has been a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but this conclusion is a factual determination with which the IRS may not agree. With certain exceptions, Company ordinary shares would be treated as stock in a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder if the Company were a PFIC at any time during the U.S. Holder’s holding period in the Company ordinary shares. If a U.S. Holder were to be treated as having disposed of stock in a PFIC, the gain realized by the U.S. Holder in the Transaction would in general not be treated as capital gain. Instead, the U.S. Holder would be treated as if it had realized such gain and certain “excess distributions” ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Company ordinary shares and would generally be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for each such year to which the gain was allocated, together with an interest charge in respect of the tax attributable to each such year. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to their investment in the Company ordinary shares and the Transaction.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

In general, information reporting requirements will apply to the proceeds received on the disposition of Company ordinary shares effected within the United States (and, in certain cases, outside the United States), in each case, other than with respect to U.S. Holders that are exempt recipients (such as corporations). Backup withholding (currently at a rate of 24%) may apply to such amounts if the U.S. Holder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number (generally on an IRS Form W-9 provided to the paying agent or the U.S. Holder’s broker) or is otherwise subject to backup withholding.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or credit against a holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Certain Israeli Tax Considerations to U.S. Holders of the Disposition of Company Ordinary Shares

According to Article 97(b3) of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], 5721-1961 (the “Israeli Tax Ordinance”), a foreign resident is exempt from tax on the sale of shares of an Israeli resident company, or on the sale of a right in a foreign resident company most of the assets of which are rights related directly or indirectly to assets located in Israel, provided that such gains were not derived from a permanent establishment or business activity of such shareholders in Israel, and provided that the shares are not listed in Israel at the time of the sale (if the shares are listed in Israel, the exemption is according to article 97(b2), which has different terms and conditions). This exemption applies to shares purchased after January 1, 2009. Non-Israeli corporations will not be entitled to the foregoing exemptions if Israeli residents (i) have a controlling interest of 25% or more in such non-Israeli corporation or (ii) are the beneficiaries of or are entitled to 25% or more of the revenues or profits of such non-Israeli corporation, whether directly or indirectly.

In addition, under the US-Israel Tax Treaty, the sale, exchange or disposition of our shares by a shareholder who is a United States resident (for purposes of the US-Israel Tax Treaty) (i.e., a U.S. Holder) holding the shares as a capital asset is generally exempt from Israeli capital gains tax unless either (i) the shareholder holds, directly or indirectly, shares representing 10% or more of our voting capital during any part of the 12-month period preceding such sale, exchange or disposition, (ii) the capital gains arising from such sale are attributable to a permanent establishment of the shareholder located in Israel, or (iii) an individual shareholder is present in Israel for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year. In either case, the sale, exchange or disposition of the shares would be subject to Israeli tax, to the extent applicable; however, under the US-Israel Tax Treaty, the US resident would be permitted to claim a credit for the tax against the U.S. federal income tax imposed with respect to the sale, exchange or disposition, subject to the limitations in U.S. laws applicable to foreign tax credits. Holders should be aware that even in cases where the US-Israel Tax Treaty does not provide for an exemption, the Israeli Tax Ordinance may provide an exemption as per article 97(b3) as detailed above.

As described in greater detail below, the Company is required to request a pre-ruling from the ITA and in connection with that ruling, or otherwise at the time of sale, shareholders may be required to demonstrate that they are exempt from tax on their capital gains in order to avoid withholding tax at the time of the disposition of their Company ordinary shares.

Israeli Tax Ruling

The Merger Agreement generally requires that the Company, prior to closing, request a pre-ruling from the Israeli Tax Authority with respect to, among other things, the Company, Parent, and paying agent’s withholding obligations relating to the consideration to be paid to non-Israeli residents (including U.S. Holders) for the Company’s ordinary shares. The pre-ruling requests that the ITA rule that either (1) the Company, Parent and paying agent, and their respective agents, are exempt from any obligation to withhold taxes levied, assessed, charged or imposed by any governmental entity in Israel from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to such holders or clarifies that no such obligation exists, or (2) clearly instructs the Company, Parent, and paying agent, and their respective agents, on how such withholding is to be executed, and in particular, with respect to the classes or categories of holders of the Company ordinary shares from which tax is to be withheld (if any), the rate or rates of withholding to be applied and how to identify any such non−Israeli residents.

Tax Considerations in Other Jurisdictions

Depending on the country in which a Company shareholder is resident, the Transaction may be a taxable event to such shareholder under such country’s tax laws. We encourage all shareholders to consult their tax advisors regarding the applicable tax considerations of the Transaction.

The Merger; Articles of Association; Memorandum of Association; Directors and Officers

The Merger Agreement provides that Merger Sub, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of B. Riley, will be merged with and into the Company. The Company will be the Surviving Corporation of the Merger and continue its corporate existence and will become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of B. Riley. The Company will continue to be governed by the Laws of the State of Israel and will succeed to assume all of the rights, properties and obligations of Merger Sub and the Company in accordance with the provisions of the ICL. Immediately following the effective time of the Merger, the amended and restated articles of association of the Company, as set forth on Exhibit A of the Merger Agreement, will thereafter be the articles of association of the Surviving Corporation. Immediately following the effective time, the existing memorandum of association of the Company, as amended, will thereafter be the memorandum of association of the Surviving Corporation.

From and after the effective time of the Merger, the directors and officers of Merger Sub at the effective time will be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation.

Effective Time

The closing of the Merger will take place at 10:00 a.m., Israeli time, on the second business day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions), or at such place or such other time or date as will be agreed in writing between the Company and B. Riley.

The Company and Merger Sub will request that the Companies Registrar declare the Merger effective and issue a certificate evidencing the Merger in accordance with Section 323(5) of the ICL on the closing date upon receipt of notice that the closing has occurred. The Merger will be effective upon the issuance by the Companies Registrar of the certificate of merger.

Merger Consideration

At the effective time of the Merger, each Company share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than shares owned by B. Riley, Merger Sub or their subsidiaries, which shares will be cancelled) will be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration of $8.71 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.

Each Merger Sub ordinary share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time will be converted into one ordinary share of the Surviving Corporation, and such converted shares will thereafter constitute the only outstanding share capital of the Surviving Corporation.

Treatment of Company Equity Awards

Company Stock Options . With the exception of the options held by Don C. Bell III, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, each Company stock option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will, at the effective time of the Merger, become fully vested, to the extent not previously vested, and will automatically be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares subject to such cancelled Company option as of immediately prior to the effective time and (ii) the excess, if any, of (a) the Per Share Merger Consideration of $8.71 over (b) the exercise price per share of such cancelled Company option, without interest and after any required tax withholding. Each Company stock option with respect to which, immediately prior to the effective time, the exercise price per share subject thereto is equal to or greater than $8.71 will be cancelled at the effective time in exchange for no consideration. All options held by Mr. Bell will be cancelled effective as of the effective time of the Merger for no consideration.

Company Restricted Shares . Each award of restricted shares outstanding immediately prior to the effective time will become vested as a result of the Merger, only if and to the extent provided by the terms of the award or applicable Company equity plan. Any portion of the award that does not become so vested will be forfeited. Each vested restricted share will automatically be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration of $8.71, without interest and as reduced by the amount of any tax withholdings required by law. As described in the section entitled “The Transaction—Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction—Treatment of Company Equity Awards” beginning on page 53 of this proxy statement, the restricted shares held by each of Mr. Bell, Mr. Fuller and Ms. Beischel will be forfeited upon the effective time of the Merger for no consideration.

Payment Procedures

At the closing, B. Riley will deposit funds with a paying agent in an amount necessary for the payment of the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration.

Within three business days after the effective time, the paying agent will mail to each holder of record of certificates representing Company shares immediately prior to the effective time a letter of transmittal, a tax declaration and instructions for surrendering such certificates. Upon surrender of any certificate to the paying agent, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal and the tax declaration, the holder of the certificate will be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in cash for each share represented by the certificate, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding taxes.

The Merger Agreement provides for a process for any shareholder whose certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed to facilitate payment to that holder.

Any holder of Company shares in book-entry form must deliver a tax declaration to the paying agent but is not required to deliver a certificate or an executed letter of transmittal. Those holders will be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration for such shares, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, upon receipt by the paying agent of the tax declaration and an “agent’s message” as to those shares.

Any cash deposited with the paying agent that remains unclaimed for six months after the effective time will be delivered to the Surviving Corporation, and any holders of Company shares who have not complied with the exchange procedures in the Merger Agreement will thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration.

Riley with a copy of the intended communication; provided, that B. Riley will be allowed a reasonable period of time to review and comment on the communication, and the Company will consider any such comments in good faith; or

authorize any of, or commit or agree to take any of, the foregoing actions.

Non-Solicitation; Acquisition Proposals; Change in Recommendations

Subject to certain exceptions described below, the Company has agreed to a non-solicitation provision. The Merger Agreement provides that neither the Company, its subsidiaries nor any of their respective directors, officers or representatives will directly or indirectly solicit, initiate, encourage or facilitate any acquisition proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to any acquisition proposal, or the making or consummation of any acquisition proposal. The Company has agreed that, except to inform a person of the existence of the Company’s non-solicitation obligations, it will not enter into, continue, or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any acquisition proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to any acquisition proposal.

If the Company receives a bona fide written acquisition proposal (not solicited in violation of the Merger Agreement) that the Board, acting upon the recommendation of the Committee, determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a superior proposal, it may take actions that are reasonably likely to be necessary in order for the directors to comply with their fiduciary duties under applicable law. These actions are set forth in the Merger Agreement to include furnishing information pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement and participating in discussions or negotiations with the person making such acquisition proposal regarding the proposal.

The Company must notify B. Riley promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) after receipt of any acquisition proposal, any inquiry that would be reasonably expected to lead to an acquisition proposal, or any request for information relating to the Company by any person that would be reasonably expected to make, or has made, an acquisition proposal. The Company has agreed to keep B. Riley informed, on a current basis, of the status and terms of any such proposals or offers (including any amendments thereto) and any material changes thereto.

The term “acquisition proposal” means any proposal, inquiry or offer with respect to (i) a merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, recapitalization, reorganization, spin-off, share exchange, or other business combination, tender offer, exchange offer or any transaction involving the purchase or acquisition of 20% or more of the shares of the Company, including as a result of a primary issuance of Company shares, or (ii) a direct or indirect purchase or acquisition of 20% or more of the consolidated net revenues, net income or total assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (other than any such proposal or offer made by B. Riley, Merger Sub or any of their affiliates).

The Merger Agreement prohibits our Board and the Committee from withholding, withdrawing, modifying or qualifying in any manner adverse to B. Riley the recommendation that the Company’s shareholders should vote to approve the Merger Proposal (which we refer to as the “Board recommendation”), from approving or recommending (or publicly declaring advisable) any acquisition proposal or any agreement that would reasonably be expected to lead to an acquisition proposal, or entering into any such agreement. If any acquisition proposal structured as a tender offer or exchange offer for outstanding Company shares is commenced, the Company has agreed that it will recommend against acceptance of such offer by the Company’s shareholders.

Notwithstanding the restrictions described above, if, prior to obtaining shareholder approval of the Merger Proposal, the Company receives a bona fide acquisition proposal (not solicited in violation of the Merger Agreement) and the Board, acting upon the recommendation of the Committee, concludes in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that (a) such acquisition proposal would, if consummated, constitute a superior proposal, and (b) such action is reasonably likely to be necessary in order for the directors to comply with their fiduciary duties under applicable law, the Board may make a Company adverse recommendation change with respect to the Merger Proposal or cause the Company to terminate the Merger Agreement (and pay the termination fee to B. Riley). Similarly, notwithstanding the restrictions in the non-solicitation provision, if, prior to obtaining shareholder approval of the Merger Proposal, an intervening event occurs and the Board, acting upon the recommendation of the Committee, concludes in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that (a) such intervening event materially adversely affects the advisability of the Merger Agreement and the Merger to the Company from a financial point of view and (b) such action is reasonably likely to be necessary in order for the directors to comply with their fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Board may make a Company adverse recommendation change with respect to the Merger Proposal.

The ability of the Board to make a Company adverse recommendation change or terminate the Merger Agreement as contemplated above is subject to the Company’s compliance with the provisions of the Merger Agreement that it first:

cause the Company to provide B. Riley at least four business days’ prior written notice advising B. Riley that it intends to take such action, which notice must (i) state that the Company has received a superior proposal or an intervening event has occurred, (ii) specify the material terms and conditions of such superior proposal, or the material facts and circumstances related to such intervening event, (iii) in the case of a superior proposal, identify the person making such superior proposal, to the extent not previously identified and (iv) in the case of a superior proposal, enclose the most recent draft of any agreements intended to be entered into with the person making such superior proposal;

cause the Company to negotiate, to the extent B. Riley so wishes to negotiate, during the four business day period following delivery of the notice of a superior proposal or an intervening event, in good faith with B. Riley concerning any revisions to the terms of the Merger Agreement that B. Riley proposes in response to such superior proposal or intervening event, and

after complying with these requirements, determine that, in the case of a superior proposal, such acquisition proposal continues to constitute a superior proposal, and in the case of an intervening event, such intervening event continues to materially adversely affect the advisability of the Merger Agreement and the Merger to the Company from a financial point of view, in each case after giving due consideration to any changes proposed to be made to the Merger Agreement by B. Riley in writing.

The term “superior proposal” is defined in the Merger Agreement to mean any bona fide acquisition proposal not solicited in violation of the Merger Agreement made after the date of the Merger Agreement that did not arise from or in connection with a breach of the obligations which the Board, acting upon the recommendation of the Committee, concludes in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel), taking into account all financial, legal, regulatory and other aspects of the acquisition proposal and the person making the acquisition proposal and the likelihood of the proposal being consummated in accordance with its terms, (i) would, if consummated, be more favorable to the Company’s shareholders from a financial point of view than the Transaction and (ii) is reasonably likely to be completed in accordance with its terms (provided that for the purpose of this definition, references to “20% or more” in the definition of acquisition proposal are deemed to be references to “50%”).

The term “intervening event” is defined in the Merger Agreement to mean any change, effect, event, occurrence, state of facts or development, that (i) was not known to, or reasonably foreseeable by, the Committee or the Board, or the material consequences of which were not known or reasonably foreseeable, in each case as of or prior to the date of the Merger Agreement, (ii) becomes known to, or reasonably foreseeable by the Board or the Committee prior to shareholder approval of the Merger Proposal and (iii) does not involve or relate to (a) an acquisition proposal or (b) any fluctuation in the market price or trading volume of Company shares, in and of itself.

Shareholder Meeting

The Company has agreed to call a meeting of its shareholders to be held as promptly as reasonably practicable, in compliance with the applicable provisions of the ICL. The Company must use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit proxies in favor of the Merger Proposal. Unless required by law, the Company may postpone or adjourn the shareholders meeting for a limited amount of time only for the absence of a quorum, or to allow additional solicitation of votes in order to obtain the requisite shareholder approval.

The Company has also agreed that the Board will recommend to the Company’s shareholders the approval of the Merger Proposal, subject to the provisions of the Merger Agreement described above under “—Non-Solicitation; Acquisition Proposals; Change in Recommendations” beginning on page 68 of this proxy statement.

In the event that B. Riley or any person listed in section 320(c) of the ICL casts any votes in respect of the Merger, B. Riley must disclose to the Company its interest in the Company shares so voted. At the shareholders meeting, B. Riley and Merger Sub must cause any Company shares owned by them and their affiliates to be voted in favor of the approval of the Merger Proposal.

Indemnification and Insurance

The Merger Agreement provides that the rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the effective time of the Merger in favor of the current or former directors and officers of the Company acting in such capacities will be assumed by the Surviving Corporation and will survive the Merger and continue in full force and effect, to the fullest extent that the Company would have been permitted to indemnify, defend, hold harmless or advance expenses.

In addition, Parent has agreed that for seven years after the closing of the Merger, the Surviving Corporation will include and cause to be maintained in effect in the Surviving Corporation’s (or any successor’s) organizational documents, provisions regarding elimination of liability of directors, and indemnification of and advancement of expenses to directors and officers of the Company, no less favorable than those contained in the Company’s organizational documents as of the date of the Merger Agreement, and not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any proceeding or threatened action (and in which indemnification could be sought by an indemnified party), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or such indemnified party otherwise consents in writing (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and cooperates in the defense of such proceeding or threatened action.

Prior to the effective time, the Company will, and, if the Company is unable to, Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to, obtain and fully pay for, at no expense to the individual insureds, non-cancellable “tail” insurance policies with claims periods of at least seven years from and after the effective time from insurance carriers with the same or better claims-paying ability ratings as the Company’s insurance carriers with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies and fiduciary liability insurance policies in place immediately prior to the effective time for the persons who are currently covered by the Company’s existing insurance.

Efforts to Obtain Regulatory Approvals and Tax Ruling

Subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, Parent and the Company have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as practicable:

obtain from any third party and/or any governmental authority any consent, approval, authorization, waiver, or order required to be obtained or made by any party, and avoid any action by any governmental authority, in connection with the Merger and to fulfill the conditions to the Transaction; and

make all necessary filings with, and thereafter make any other required submissions to, any governmental authority required under applicable law, including the HSR Act, the Communications Act and any applicable state communications laws, in connection with the Merger and to fulfill the conditions to the Transaction.

B. Riley and the Company will cooperate with each other in connection with obtaining all such consents, approvals, authorizations, waivers, or orders and the making of all such filings.

B. Riley and the Company will, subject to the other terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, (i) supply the other with any information that may be required in order to make such filings, (ii) supply any additional information that may be required or requested by the FTC, the DOJ, the FCC or state regulators in which any such notification filing is required to be made, and (iii) use reasonable best efforts to take all action necessary to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the applicable antitrust laws as soon as practicable, and to obtain any required consents under any antitrust laws applicable to the Merger or approvals under the Communications Act or other state telecommunications law or requirement imposed by a state regulator as soon as practicable, including by filing as promptly as reasonably practicable, all notifications, questionnaire responses, documents, and information required or advisable in order to obtain such expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods or such required consents or approvals.

The Company has filed with the ITA, in coordination with B. Riley, an application for an Option Tax Ruling (as defined in the Merger Agreement). The Option Tax Ruling is subject to customary conditions regularly associated with such a ruling, including the limitation related to Section 102 of the Israeli Tax Ordinance. Transfer of the option and restricted share consideration to the option holders and the holders of restricted shares is subject to withholding tax, as per applicable law and in accordance with the Option Tax Ruling.

In addition, the Company has prepared and filed with the Israeli tax authorities an application for a ruling that (a) with respect to holders of Company shares that are non-Israeli residents (as defined in the Israeli Tax Ordinance), exempts Parent, the paying agent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective agents from any obligation to withhold Israeli tax from any consideration payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement, including the Per Share Merger Consideration, or clearly instructs Parent, the paying agent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective agents on how such withholding is to be executed; and (b) with respect to holders of the Company’s shares that are Israeli residents clearly instructs Parent, the paying agent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective agents on how such withholding is to be executed.

Merger Proposal; Certificate of Merger

The Company and Merger Sub have agreed to take all necessary actions as required under the ICL to effectuate the Transaction in compliance with Israeli law. These actions include:

causing a merger proposal (in the Hebrew language) to be executed in accordance with Section 316 of the ICL;

delivering the merger proposal to the Companies Registrar in accordance with Section 317(a) of the ICL;

causing a copy of the merger proposal to be delivered to any of the Company’s secured creditors; and

promptly informing the Companies Registrar, in accordance with Section 317(b) of the ICL, that notice was given to creditors, if any, under Section 318 of the ICL.

The Company and Merger Sub have agreed to cooperate in providing notice to the Companies Registrar of the approval of the Company’s shareholders of the Merger Proposal in accordance with Section 317(b) of ICL, and request that the Companies Registrar declare the Merger effective and issue the certificate of merger on the closing date.

Financing Cooperation

The Company has agreed to cooperate, at Parent’s request and expense, if Parent elects to seek financing prior to the closing in connection with the Merger, until the earlier of the closing and the date that the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, so long as the financing does not require any approvals, orders, authorizations, or actions by or any registrations, declarations, or filings with any governmental authority.

The parties agreed that the Company will not be required to cooperate in connection with any financing at such point that such financing would be reasonably likely to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger. Additionally, the failure of the Company, its subsidiaries and/or representatives to cooperate with B. Riley or Merger Sub’s financing efforts will not constitute grounds for (i) B. Riley or Merger Sub to refuse to consummate the Merger or to terminate the Merger Agreement or (ii) the payment of the termination fee by the Company.

Other Covenants

Access to Information

Subject to customary exceptions as set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide B. Riley and its representatives reasonable access at reasonable times, and upon reasonable notice, to the books and records and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries and any financial, operating and other data and information regarding the assets, properties, or business of the Company and its subsidiaries as B. Riley may from time to time reasonably request.

Public Announcement

Subject to certain exceptions described in the Merger Agreement, B. Riley and the Company have agreed to consult with each other before issuing any press release or other public statements with respect to the Transaction.

Other Covenants and Agreements

The Merger Agreement also contains additional covenants, including, among others, covenants relating to satisfying requirements under Section 16 and Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, efforts to obtain certain third party consents, delisting and deregistration of the Company shares, takeover laws, intellectual property assignments and shareholder litigation, if any arises, relating to the Transaction.

IIA Notice

The Company has prepared and filed with the IIA, a written notice regarding the change in ownership of the Company effected as a result of the Merger as required in accordance with the R&D Law. On December 25, 2017, the IIA confirmed its approval of the change of control of the Company, subject to the filing of an undertaking by B. Riley Principal Investments in accordance with the R&D Law. We expect the undertaking to be provided at Closing and filed in due course.

The respective obligation of each party to complete the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions:

approval by the Company’s shareholders of the Merger Proposal;

Termination of the Merger Agreement

The Merger Agreement may be terminated and the Merger may be abandoned at any time prior to the effective time of the Merger:

by mutual written consent of the Company and B. Riley;

by either B. Riley or the Company, if:

the Merger has not been consummated on or before August 9, 2018, provided that if the condition to closing, solely in respect of the approval by or in connection with U.S. executive branch agencies that review FCC applications for national security and other issues, including the U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Homeland Security, and National Security Agency, has not been satisfied or waived on or prior to such date, but all other conditions to closing have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the closing, but subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by law) waiver of those conditions), then the End Date will automatically be extended to November 9, 2018, and provided further, however, that the right to terminate the Merger Agreement will not be available to any party whose breach or failure to perform or comply with any obligation under the Merger Agreement resulted in or was a proximate cause of the failure of the Merger to be consummated on or before the End Date;

any governmental authority of competent jurisdiction, located in the United States, Israel or in another jurisdiction outside of the United States in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or B. Riley or any of its subsidiaries, engage in material business activities, has enacted, entered or enforced any order or law permanently enjoining, restraining, prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the Merger, which order or law must have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that (i) the party seeking to terminate the Merger Agreement will have complied with its obligation to seek the requisite approval of governmental authorities as set forth in the Merger Agreement, including, with respect to B. Riley, using its commercially reasonable efforts to remove any order and otherwise using its reasonable best efforts, as set forth in the Merger Agreement, and (ii) the right to terminate the Merger Agreement will not be available to any party whose breach or failure to perform or comply with any obligation under the Merger Agreement resulted in or was a proximate cause of the issuance of such order or law; or

the requisite approval of the Company’s shareholders is not obtained at the Company shareholders meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof;

by B. Riley if:

the Company has violated or breached any covenant, representation, or warranty contained in the Merger Agreement (other than in relation to financing cooperation), which has prevented or would prevent the satisfaction of any condition to the obligations of B. Riley and Merger Sub to complete the Merger, and is not capable of being cured by the End Date or, to the extent so curable, has not been cured by the Company within the earlier of 30 days after receiving written notice from B. Riley describing such violation or breach, or three business days prior to the End Date; or

the Board has effected a Company adverse recommendation change or, at any time following receipt of an acquisition proposal, the Board fails to reaffirm its approval or recommendation of the Merger Proposal as promptly as practicable (but in any event within five business days) after receipt of any written request to do so from B. Riley;

by the Company if:

B. Riley or Merger Sub has violated or breached any covenant, representation, or warranty contained in the Merger Agreement, which has prevented or would prevent the satisfaction of any condition to the obligation of the Company to complete the Merger, and is not capable of being cured by the End Date or, to the extent so curable, has not been cured by B. Riley and Merger Sub within the earlier of 30 days after receiving written notice from the Company describing such violation or breach, or three business days prior the End Date; or

prior to the time at which the requisite Company shareholder approval has been obtained, in response to a superior proposal that was not solicited in material violation of the Merger Agreement, the Company enters into a definitive alternative acquisition agreement with respect to an acquisition proposal that the Board has concluded constitutes a superior proposal, subject to payment of any fees required prior to or concurrently with such termination.

Effect of Termination

If the Merger Agreement is terminated, it will become null and void and of no effect without liability or obligation on the part of any party, except with respect to certain provisions which will remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party will remain liable for any liabilities or damages resulting from any willful and material breach (as defined in the Merger Agreement) by such party prior to or in connection with such termination (subject to certain limitations). Any failure of B. Riley to effect the Merger and to make the payments contemplated by payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration following the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by law) waiver of the conditions to the closing (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied at such time) will be a willful and material breach of the Merger Agreement by B. Riley.

Transaction Expenses; Termination Fees

Transaction Expenses

Each party will generally pay its own fees and expenses in connection with the Merger. B. Riley will pay all filing fees payable under the applicable antitrust laws in connection with the Merger.

Company Termination Fee

The Company must pay B. Riley a termination fee of $5,738,297 if:

the Merger Agreement is terminated (i) by B. Riley after a Company adverse recommendation change or (ii) by the Company in order to enter into a definitive agreement relating to a superior proposal;

the Merger Agreement is terminated (i) by either party because the closing has not occurred by the End Date, (ii) by either party because Company shareholder approval of the Merger Proposal is not obtained or (iii) by B. Riley because of a violation or breach of the Merger Agreement by the Company which has prevented or would prevent the satisfaction of any condition to the obligations of B. Riley and Merger Sub to complete the Merger, and in any such case (a) at any time after the date of the Merger Agreement and prior to the termination of the Merger Agreement, an acquisition proposal has been made to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or its shareholders or has been publicly announced and such acquisition proposal has not been publicly withdrawn on a bona fide basis and (b) within twelve (12) months after such termination, the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to an acquisition proposal that is thereafter consummated, or will have consummated or will have approved or recommended to the Company’s shareholders or otherwise not opposed, an acquisition proposal that is thereafter consummated (provided that for the purposes of (b), references to “20%” in the definition of acquisition proposal are deemed to be references to “50%”).

Limitation on Remedies

Upon termination of the Merger Agreement, B. Riley’s rights, if any, to receive the termination fee payable by the Company described above will be the sole and exclusive remedy of B. Riley and Merger Sub against the Company for any loss suffered as a result of any breach of the Merger Agreement or the failure of the Merger to be completed. Upon payment of such termination fee by the Company, none of the Company or any of its former, current or future shareholders, directors, officers, affiliates, agents or other representatives will have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of the Merger Agreement or the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party will be relieved from any liabilities or damages resulting from any willful and material breach of the Merger Agreement prior to or in connection with such termination.

Amendment

The parties may amend the Merger Agreement at any time prior to the effective time of the Merger, either before or after the Company shareholder approval, by written agreement. However, after such shareholder approval, no amendment may be made which requires further approval by such shareholders under applicable law without such further approval.

Binding Effect; Assignment; Guaranty of Obligations

Except as expressly provided in the Merger Agreement, the rights and obligations of the Merger Agreement may not be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties. Within 30 calendar days from the date of the Merger Agreement, B. Riley may assign any and all of its rights under the Merger Agreement to any affiliate of B. Riley, including (i) the person identified to the Company by B. Riley in writing concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, or (ii) any private investment fund managed by a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of B. Riley, provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied (the “permitted assignment”):

the Company’s Board determines that, considering the anticipated change in the financial position of the merging companies upon effectiveness of the permitted assignment, no reasonable concern exists that the Surviving Corporation will be unable to fulfill the obligations of the Surviving Corporation to its creditors;

the proposed assignment would not reasonably be expected to materially delay or significantly increase the risk of not obtaining the expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act (or any extensions thereof), significantly increase the risk of any governmental authority entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, or significantly increase the risk of not being able to remove any such order on appeal or otherwise;

the proposed assignee is an entity organized under the laws of any state of the United States;

the proposed assignee consents in writing to assume all obligations of B. Riley under the Merger Agreement;

the proposed assignee affirms in writing that all representations and warranties made in the Merger Agreement with respect to B. Riley as of the date of the Merger Agreement will be deemed representations and warranties made with respect to the proposed assignee as of the date of such assignment, subject to limited exceptions;

Merger Sub, which upon the permitted assignment becoming effective must be a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of the proposed assignee, re-affirms in writing that all representations and warranties made in the Merger Agreement with respect to Merger Sub as of the date of the Merger Agreement will be deemed representations and warranties made with respect to Merger Sub as of the date of such assignment;

no assignment will relieve B. Riley of any of its obligations pursuant to the Merger Agreement; and

B. Riley delivers to the Company a written notice of consummation of the permitted assignment, together with the true, correct and complete assignment documents containing evidence that the conditions to the permitted assignment have been satisfied.

B. Riley must promptly notify the Company in writing in the event B. Riley determines that it will not exercise its right to make a permitted assignment.

B. Riley agreed that a permitted assignment will not relieve B. Riley or Merger Sub of their obligations under the Merger Agreement, and guaranteed all obligations of the proposed assignee in the event of the permitted assignment, including providing the funds to consummate the Merger in the event that the Company brings an action in equity to enforce the provisions of the Merger Agreement against the proposed assignee.

Third Party Beneficiaries

The Merger Agreement is not intended to and does not confer upon any person other than the parties to the Merger Agreement any rights or remedies, except:

the rights of the indemnified persons to enforce the obligations described under “—Indemnification and Insurance;”

the right of the Company’s shareholders to enforce B. Riley’s obligation to pay the Per Share Merger Consideration; and

other rights expressly set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Specific Performance

The parties to the Merger Agreement have agreed that irreparable harm would occur if any of the provisions of the Merger Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms on a timely basis or were otherwise breached. The parties agreed that each party is entitled to seek injunctive relief to prevent breaches of the Merger Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms of the Merger Agreement.

Governing Law

The Merger Agreement and its enforcement will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state without regard to the conflicts of law provisions thereof, except that (i) the internal affairs of the corporations party hereto that are organized and existing under the ICL and (ii) all other provisions of, or transactions contemplated by, the Merger Agreement that are expressly or otherwise required to be governed by the ICL will be governed by the ICL.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The following disclosures relative to executive compensation are required in connection with Proposal 2, the CEO Compensation Proposal. As required, the disclosures relate to the Company’s “named executive officers” as that term is defined in Item 402(a)(3) of Regulation S-K.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The following discussion and analysis contains statements regarding individual and Company performance targets and goals used in setting compensation for our Named Executive Officers. These targets and goals are disclosed in the limited context of the Company’s compensation programs and should not be understood to be statements of management’s future expectations or estimates of future results or other guidance. The Company specifically cautions investors not to apply these statements to other contexts.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The goals of our executive officer compensation program are to attract, retain, and reward executive officers who contribute to our success, to align executive officer compensation with our performance, and to motivate executive officers to achieve our business objectives. We compensate our senior management through a mix of base salary, bonus, and equity compensation designed to align management’s incentives with the long-term interests of our shareholders. In addition, we provide our Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”) with benefits that are generally available to all employees of the Company. Compensation paid to our executive officers is made under the terms of an employment agreement, if applicable, and on a discretionary basis by our Board following approval by the Compensation Committee. In addition, shareholders must approve certain executive compensation, as described in more detail below.

Our Named Executive Officers in 2017 were Gerald Vento, former Chief Executive Officer, President and Director; Jose Gordo, former Chief Financial Officer; Don Carlos Bell III, the Company’s current President and Chief Executive Officer; Thomas Fuller, the Company’s current Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; Kristin Beischel, the Company’s current Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer; and Dvir Salomon, the Company’s current Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer.

Setting Executive Compensation

At the 2013 annual general meeting of shareholders held on July 3, 2013, our shareholders approved the compensation policy that we submitted to the shareholders for their approval (the “Compensation Policy”). Under Amendment No. 20 to the Companies Law which came into effect in December 2012 (“Amendment No. 20”), public companies were required to adopt a compensation policy with respect to the terms of service and employment of their directors and officers no later than September 2013. The Companies Law requires that a compensation policy be reviewed and approved every three years. Accordingly, on March 9, 2017, following the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Company’s Board approved the Amended Compensation Policy for a three-year term (the “First Amended Compensation Policy”). The First Amended Compensation Policy amended, among other things, certain caps on the amount of sales commissions and bonuses paid to any officer, specified the measurable criteria framework for the payment of bonuses, the factors the Compensation Committee will consider when awarding a sign-on bonus, and amended the maximum severance payment payable to an officer in the event of a changes of control, all as specified in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2016 annual general meeting, filed with the SEC on March 15, 2017. Shareholder approval for the First Amended Compensation Policy was obtained at the 2016 annual general meeting of shareholders held on April 19, 2017.

On May 22, 2017, following the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Company’s Board approved additional changes to the First Amended Compensation Policy to accommodate an update to non-employee director compensation. The changes provided for non-employee director compensation as follows:

Annual cash compensation for each non-employee director in the amount of $50,000 or, in the case of the non-employee Chairman of the Board, $100,000, paid quarterly;

Annual equity-based compensation valued at $60,000 per year for each non-employee director, which will fully vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant;

Annual cash compensation of $10,000 for service on each of the Company’s Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; and

Annual cash compensation of $10,000 for service on a “special committee” of the Board, intended to cover up to four meetings per year, with additional cash compensation of $1,000 for each additional meeting thereafter.

Shareholder approval for the above amendments to the First Amended Compensation Policy was obtained at a special meeting of the Company’s shareholders held on July 31, 2017. The First Amended Compensation Policy, as amended by the amendments described above, is referred to herein as the “Amended Compensation Policy”.

Amendment No. 20 to the Companies Law provides that the compensation policy shall be based, among other parameters, on promoting the company’s objectives, its work plan and long term strategy, creating appropriate incentives for the company’s directors and officers, considering, among other factors, the risk management of the company, the company’s size and nature of its operations and, with respect to terms of service and employment that include non-fixed compensation, the contribution of the director or officer to achievement of corporate goals and increased profits, all with a long term view and taking into account the officer’s position.

The Amended Compensation Policy includes both long term and short term compensation elements and is to be reviewed from time to time by the Company’s Compensation Committee and Board as required by the Companies Law. In general, the compensation package for officers will be examined while taking into consideration, amongst others, the following parameters: (i) the education, qualifications, expertise, seniority (in the Company in particular, and in the officer’s profession in general), professional experience and achievements of the officer; (ii) the officer’s position, the scope of his responsibility and previous wage agreements that were signed with him; (iii) the officer’s contribution to the Company’s business, profits and stability; (iv) the degree of responsibility imposed on the officer; and (v) the Company’s need to retain officers who have skills, know-how or unique expertise. Additionally, prior to the approval of a compensation package for an officer, the Company will conduct a wage survey that compares and analyzes the level and cost of the compensation package offered to an officer of the Company with the compensation packages offered to officers in similar positions in other companies of the same type and/or financial structure. The surveys are to be conducted internally or through an external consultant recommended by the Compensation Committee.

As provided in the Amended Compensation Policy, the Company is entitled to grant to officers a compensation package which may include a base salary, commissions, signing bonus, annual cash bonus and share-based compensation, or any combination thereof, and additional standard benefits. The Amended Compensation Policy also specifies the cash and share-based compensation to be paid to non-employee directors, as well as reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with fulfillment of their duties as directors, all subject to applicable law.

An engagement with an officer who is not a director, controlling shareholder (or relative thereof), or the Chief Executive Officer regarding his or her service and terms of employment must be approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board, provided that the compensation is approved in accordance with the Company’s compensation policy. Other approval requirements apply if the engagement is not in accordance with the Company’s compensation policy. An engagement with the Chief Executive Officer regarding his or her service and terms of employment must be approved by our Compensation Committee, our Board of Directors, and by a special majority of our shareholders as provided under Israeli law. In special cases, the compensation of a nominee for service as the Chief Executive Officer may be approved without shareholder approval, subject to meeting certain conditions under the Companies Law. Arrangements between the Company and a director as to the terms of his office or regarding compensation for non-directorial duties requires the approval of the Compensation Committee, the Board and shareholders.

The Compensation Committee has from time to time retained the services of independent compensation consulting firms to provide information in accordance with the requirements of our Amended Compensation Policy. In 2017, the Compensation Committee selected and directly retained the services of Meridian Compensation Consultants, LLC (“Meridian”), an independent compensation consulting firm, to provide a peer group analysis and a compensation benchmarking study related to director compensation as well as related to compensation of Don Carlos Bell III, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer; Thomas Fuller, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; Kristin Beischel, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer; and Dvir Salomon, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer.

Meridian developed a peer group analysis for the purpose of comparing and analyzing the level and cost of the compensation package to be offered to the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer. The peer group companies considered by Meridian and approved by the Compensation Committee in connection with 2017 compensation include companies of similar size, as measured by trailing twelve months revenue, market capitalization and enterprise value, that operated in the same or complimentary industries as the Company and are as follows:

GTT Communications Inc

Shenandoah Telecommun Co

Cogent Communications Hldgs

Iridium Communications Inc

Atn International Inc

Hawaiian Telcom Holdco Inc

Inteliquent Inc

LogMeIn Inc

Incontact Inc

Demandware Inc

8x8 Inc

LivePerson Inc

Alaska Communications Sys Gp

Lumos Networks Corp

ORBCOMM Inc

Spok Holdings Inc

Limelight Networks Inc

Five9 Inc

Boingo Wireless Inc

Brightcove Inc

Synacor Inc

Fusion Telecommunications

Ooma Inc

The Compensation Committee considered the data and analyses prepared by Meridian that included the appropriateness of: (i) the amount of base salary, (ii) the annual incentive bonus potential and the performance metrics for achieving such bonus, (iii) the existence and amount of a signing bonus, (iv) the mix and vesting schedule for equity compensation, and (v) market practice with respect to other employment terms, with respect to each of the officers reviewed compared to that of the peer group companies listed above. The peer group data was collected primarily from proxy filings reflecting the most recently disclosed compensation as of the time Meridian compiled the data in 2017.

Meridian reviewed with the Compensation Committee Meridian’s analysis of the (1) base salaries, (2) bonus, (3) total cash compensation (salary plus annual bonus opportunity), (4) long-term incentive awards and (5) total direct compensation (salary plus annual bonus opportunity plus value of long-term incentives payable to each named executive officer) to the 25th percentile, the 50th percentile and 75th percentile target opportunity of the peer group. The Compensation Committee used this peer group data to obtain a general understanding of current compensation practices consistent with our Amended Compensation Policy, to ensure that the Committee was acting in an informed and responsible manner and to make sure our executive compensation program is competitive. The Compensation Committee did not seek to set any elements of compensation at a specific percentile of the relevant peer group but it did want to understand and be cognizant of the divergence of any of the compensation elements from the 25th percentile, 50th percentile and 75th percentile. The Compensation Committee and Board determined that the compensation packages proposed for Mr. Bell, Mr. Fuller, Ms. Beischel and Mr. Salomon were consistent with the compensation paid to similarly situated name executive officers by the Company’s peer group as presented by Meridian.

A description of Meridian’s analysis and recommendations with respect to the 2017 changes to compensation for non-employee directors is set forth below under “Executive Compensation—2017 Director Compensation,” beginning on page 102.

Compensation Program

The primary components of the executive compensation program of our Company consist of base salary, bonuses, grants of restricted stock and options, and health benefits. In connection with the Company’s formal process to review and evaluate strategic alternatives to enhance stockholder value, including a possible sale of the Company, the Company also provided a special transaction bonus opportunity for Messrs. Bell, Fuller, Salomon and Ms. Beischel.

Base Salary

In accordance with our Amended Compensation Policy, the base salary of a new officer in the Company was determined based on the parameters set forth in the Amended Compensation Policy and discussed above. The Compensation Committee and the Board had authority to update the base salary of the officers (other than (i) officers who are controlling shareholders or their relatives or other officers’ compensation in which the controlling shareholder has a personal interest and (ii) officers who serve as directors) consistent with the terms of the Compensation Policy including the parameters specified above, provided that the Compensation Committee alone had authority to approve an amendment to an officer’s base salary that does not increase such base salary by more than 15% on an aggregate basis during the term of the officer’s employment agreement and, with respect to the annual base salary of the CEO, such change does not materially change the structure of the incentives provided thereto, even if the total value of the compensation package remains unchanged .

Mr. Vento’s base salary in 2017 for his service as then Chief Executive Officer of the Company was $500,000. He resigned from this position effective March 9, 2017 and, as a result, received $94,872 in base salary for 2017. Mr. Gordo’s base salary for 2017 for his service as then Chief Financial Officer of the Company was $350,000 but he resigned from this position effective May 25, 2017 and, as a result, received $132,436 in base salary for 2017. Keith Reed’s base salary in 2017 for his service as the former General Manager - Senior Vice President Enterprise was $350,000 but he resigned from this position effective February 3, 2017 and, as a result, received $33,205 in base salary for 2017. Accordingly, although a named executive officer for 2016, Mr. Reed is not among the named executive officers for 2017. The 2017 annual base salary amounts for Mr. Vento, Mr. Gordo and Mr. Reed were at the same amount as their 2016 annual base salary levels.

Mr. Bell was hired as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer effective March 9, 2017 at a base salary of $500,000, resulting in base salary of $405,449 paid to Mr. Bell in 2017. Mr. Fuller was hired as the Company’s Executive Vice President of Finance effective March 13, 2017, transitioning to the role of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer on May 11, 2017, at a base salary of $275,000, resulting in base salary of $220,882 paid to Mr. Fuller in 2017. Ms. Beischel was hired as the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer effective March 9, 2017 at a base salary of $225,000, resulting in base salary of $182,590 paid to Ms. Beischel in 2017. Mr. Salomon was employed as the Company’s Chief Technology Officer under the terms of an Employment Agreement dated October 14, 2016 at a base salary of $300,000. He executed an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement on June 23, 2017, under which his base salary was reduced to $275,000, resulting in base salary of $287,500 paid to Mr. Salomon in 2017.

We believe we provided the above Named Executive Officers with a level of base salary that recognized appropriately each individual officer’s scope of responsibility, role in the organization, experience, contributions to the success of our Company and the results of peer group surveys.

Signing Bonus

Under our Amended Compensation Policy, we may grant a signing bonus to an officer, which may not exceed the officer’s initial annual base salary and will be subject to the limitations in the Amended Compensation Policy. A signing bonus will not be considered in calculating the maximum amount of the bonus (described below) payable to an officer following his initial year of employment. In 2017, Mr. Bell received a signing bonus of $500,000, Mr. Fuller received a signing bonus of $275,000 and Ms. Beischel received a signing bonus of $150,000. No other signing bonuses were awarded to our Named Executive Officers during 2017.

Annual Cash Incentive Bonus

Under the terms of our Amended Compensation Policy, our annual cash incentive bonus will be based mainly (at least 80%) on measurable criteria, and, with respect to its less significant part (up to 20%), at the Board and management’s discretion, based on non-measurable criteria. Measurable criteria may include financial targets, meeting sales and marketing objectives, productivity indices and growth in the volume of activity, cost savings, implementation and promotion of planned projects, promoting strategic targets, promoting innovation in the Company and/or success in raising capital.

The remaining portion of the annual cash bonus (not exceeding 20% of the annual cash bonus) will be determined according to non-measurable criteria, such as the contribution of the officer to the Company’s business, its profitability and stability, the need for the Company to retain an officer with skills, know-how, or unique expertise, the responsibility imposed on the officer, changes that occurred in the responsibility imposed on the officer during the year, satisfaction with the officer’s performance, assessing the officer’s ability to work in coordination and cooperation with other employees of the Company, the officer’s contribution to an appropriate control environment and ethical environment and such other elements as recommended by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board. Based on our Amended Compensation Policy and the peer group survey conducted in 2017, the Compensation Committee established the following annual cash incentive bonus structure for Messrs. Bell, Fuller and Salomon and Ms. Beischel applicable for each of them during the year ended December 31, 2017 under the terms of their employment agreements:

Executive	Target/Maximum Annual Bonus	Bonus Milestones:	Bonus Payout Levels
Don Carlos Bell III	Target of $500,000	50% based on meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of target revenue for the year	Revenue: Range from 35% to 200% of the target annual bonus.
		50% based on meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of target EBITDA for the year	EBITDA: Range from 35% to 200% of the target annual bonus.
Thomas Fuller	Target of $206,250	50% based on meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of target revenue for the year	Revenue: Range from 35% to 200% of the target annual bonus.
		50% based on meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of target EBITDA for the year	EBITDA: Range from 35% to 200% of the target annual bonus.
Kristin Beischel	Target of $112,500	50% based on meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of target revenue for the year	Revenue: Range from 35% to 200% of the target annual bonus.
		50% based on meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of target EBITDA for the year	EBITDA: Range from 35% to 200% of the target annual bonus.
Dvir Salomon	Target of $137,500	50% based on meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of target revenue for the year	Revenue: Range from 35% to 200% of the target annual bonus.
		50% based on meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of target EBITDA for the year	EBITDA: Range from 35% to 200% of the target annual bonus.

The term “EBITDA” when used to describe the financial performance measure for the annual cash incentive bonus means earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.

The amount of annual cash incentive bonus to be paid to Messrs. Bell, Fuller and Salomon and Ms. Beischel as a result of the achievement of bonus milestones during the year ended December 31, 2017 will be determined by the Compensation Committee upon completion of the audit of the Company’s 2017 financial statements which is anticipated to be complete in March of 2018.

Messrs. Vento, Gordo and Reed were not eligible to participate in the annual cash incentive bonus program described above due to their respective resignations prior to December 31, 2017.

Sales Commissions

Under our Amended Compensation Policy, we may pay our officers sales and other commissions based on a pre-determined commission plan, which commissions will be considered part of the officer’s aggregate compensation package subject to limitations in the Amended Compensation Policy. None of our Named Executive Officers will receive commissions for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Grants of Restricted Stock and Ordinary Share Options

Equity compensation consists of periodic grants of restricted stock and options exercisable for ordinary shares to certain of our executives under our magicJack VocalTec Ltd. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, and our magicJack VocalTec Ltd. 2013 Israeli Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, (together the “2013 Plans”), to provide additional incentive to work to maximize long-term total return to shareholders. Award levels are determined based on market data and may vary among participants based on their positions within the Company, assessment of job performance, and other factors, including the terms of their employment agreements with the Company. A committee appointed by the Board is specified to act as the plan administrator. In 2017, our Compensation Committee administered the plan.

Based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee and findings of the Board, on May 8, 2017, the Board approved and the Company entered into a Restricted Stock Agreement and an Option Agreement with Mr. Bell in connection with his services as the new Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Bell was awarded 149,068 shares of restricted stock under the terms of his Restricted Stock Agreement and 1,883,165 ordinary share options under the terms of his Option Agreement at a strike price of $9.51. These agreements were subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders as required under Israeli law. At a Special Meeting of Shareholders held on July 31, 2017, the required shareholder vote approving these agreements with Mr. Bell was obtained. See “—Employment Agreements for Current Named Executive Officers,” below.

Also on May 8, 2017, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee and findings of the Board, the Board approved, and the Company entered into a Restricted Stock Agreement and an Option Agreement with, Mr. Fuller in connection with his services as Executive Vice President Finance and, commencing May 11, 2017, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Fuller was awarded 37,267 shares of restricted stock under the terms of his Restricted Stock Agreement and 470,791 ordinary share options under the terms of his Option Agreement at a strike price of $9.51. Mr. Fuller’s Option Agreement was subject to approval of amendments to our magicJack VocalTec Ltd. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan by the Company’s shareholders to increase the number of the Company’s ordinary shares available for grant under the plan. At a Special Meeting of Shareholders held on July 31, 2017, the required shareholder vote approving the amendments was obtained. See “—Employment Agreements for Current Named Executive Officers,” below.

Also on May 8, 2017, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee and findings of the Board, the Board approved, and the Company entered into a Restricted Stock Agreement and Option Agreement with, Ms. Beischel in connection with her services as Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. Ms. Beischel was awarded 21,118 shares of restricted stock under the terms of her Restricted Stock Agreement and 266,782 ordinary share options under the terms of her Option Agreement at a strike price of $9.51. Ms. Beischel’s Option Agreement was subject to approval of amendments to our magicJack VocalTec Ltd. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan by the Company’s shareholders to increase the number of the Company’s ordinary shares available for grant under the plan. At a Special Meeting of Shareholders held on July 31, 2017, the required shareholder vote approving the amendments was obtained. See “—Employment Agreements for Current Named Executive Officers,” below.

On June 23, 2017, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee and findings of the Board, the Board approved, and the Company entered into an Option Agreement with Mr. Salomon in connection with his services as Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer. Mr. Salomon was awarded 175,566 ordinary share options under the terms of his Option Agreement at a strike price of $9.51. Mr. Salomon’s Option Agreement was subject to approval of amendments to our magicJack VocalTec Ltd. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan by the Company’s shareholders to increase the number of the Company’s ordinary shares available for grant under the plan. At a Special Meeting of Shareholders held on July 31, 2017, the required shareholder vote approving the amendments was obtained. See “—Employment Agreements for Current Named Executive Officers,” below.

No grants of restricted stock or options were made to Messrs. Vento or Gordo during 2017.

Benefits

We provide various employee benefit programs to our executive officers, including: (i) medical and dental insurance benefits for our U.S. based employees, and (ii) a defined contribution retirement plan for our Israeli employees. These benefits are generally available to all full-time employees of our Company based on their location.

Special Transaction Bonus

Upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee and findings of the Board, the Board approved provisions in the employment agreements for Messrs. Bell, Fuller and Salomon and Ms. Beischel providing for a special transaction bonus if the closing of a transaction resulting in a “change of control” (as defined in the respective agreements) occurs before the one-year anniversary of the execution date of the agreements (the “Transaction Deadline”) and the applicable executive is still employed by the Company on the closing date. The bonus is based on the sales price or Company valuation in the change of control transaction. See “The Transaction—Interests of our Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction—Golden Parachute Compensation,” beginning on page 54. Upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee and findings of the Board, the Board provided for this special transaction bonus in recognition that none of the long-term equity incentives granted to Messrs. Bell or Fuller or Ms. Beischel on May 8, 2017 will vest as a result of a change of control occurring before the one-year anniversary of the grant on May 8, 2018. The special transaction bonus for Mr. Salomon will be reduced by the value of restricted stock which accelerates in connection with a change of control. On November 8, 2017, in consideration of the fact that the Merger might not be consummated on or before the one-year anniversary of the Bell, Fuller and Beischel Agreements, the Board approved an amendment to each of those executive employment agreements to allow each of these executives to receive the special transaction bonus in connection with the Merger, regardless of when the Merger is consummated. The Board also approved amendments to the restricted stock agreements pursuant to which the vesting of their restricted stock awards will be delayed and forfeited immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of the Merger.

Compensation Committee Report

Our Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis included in this proxy statement and, based on such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to our Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement.

2017 Pay Ratio Disclosure

For purposes of calculating the 2017 ratio of the median annual total compensation of all Company employees to the total annual compensation of the Company’s chief executive officer, the Company included in its calculation of compensation: base salary, commissions, annual bonus amounts, stock-based compensation (based on the grant date fair value of awards granted during 2017) and other incentive payments (including sign-on bonuses for the new executive officers). The Company used December 31, 2017 as its measurement date. Base salary amounts were annualized for any employee who had less than a full year of service during 2017, including the Chief Executive Officer. Total compensation for Don Carlos Bell, III, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer was determined to be $6,792,747 and was approximately 85 times the median annual compensation of all Company employees excluding the chief executive officer of $79,919. If stock based compensation amounts are excluded from the calculation, Mr. Bell’s annual compensation is approximately $1,545,000, or 19 times the median employee compensation of $79,919. For purposes of this calculation, the Company had 135 employees worldwide, excluding the chief executive officer.

All shares in this column consist of restricted stock awards. The awards granted to Messrs. Bell and Fuller and to Ms. Beischel are scheduled to vest in one-third increments on each of May 8, 2018, March 9, 2019 and March 9, 2020. If the contemplated change-in-control event is culminated, none of these awards will vest. The awards for Mr. Salomon are scheduled to vest on December 31, 2018. The vesting would be accelerated if the contemplated change-in-control is approved and the transaction completed.

Amounts in this column have been calculated using an assumed stock price of $8.45, the closing price of our ordinary shares on December 29, 2017, the last business day of our fiscal year 2017.

On June 18, 2017, Mr. Vento and the Company entered into an agreement to amend his Consulting Agreement. In connection with that amendment, Mr. Vento surrendered to the Company the options to purchase 722,782 shares at an exercise price of $14.95 per share. Accordingly, the option was terminated effective June 18, 2017, and excluded from this schedule.

(4)

In connection with Mr. Gordo’s departure from the Company, 106,907 options with a strike price of $9.33 vested in May 2017, and were scheduled to expire on November 25, 2017 absent a change-in-control event. Additionally, 225,964 remaining unvested stock options that were originally scheduled to vest in annual increments on December 31, 2017 and 2018 were forfeited, unless there was a Change of Control within 180 days of his termination date. Furthermore, 87,310 shares underlying a restricted stock award made in 2015 remained unvested and were not scheduled to vest, unless there was a Change of Control within 180 days of Mr. Gordo’s termination. The contemplated transaction qualifies as a Change of Control, and if finalized will trigger the vesting of these awards. As the options are at a strike price higher than the proposed purchase price, Mr. Gordo’s options have no value. The 87,310 shares that would vest upon a change-in-control have a market value of $737,770 at December 31, 2017. In connection with his termination, Mr. Gordo surrendered to the Company options originally granted on May 8, 2013 covering 296,031 shares at an exercise price of $17.63.

The aggregate dollar amount realized by the Named Executive Officer upon the vesting of shares of our restricted stock was computed by multiplying the number of shares of our restricted stock that vested by the market value of the underlying shares on the last date the market was open prior to the vesting date. The amount for Mr. Salomon was calculated using an assumed stock price of $8.45, the closing price of our ordinary shares on December 29, 2017, the last business day prior to the vesting date of December 31, 2017. The amount for Mr. Gordo was calculated using an assumed stock price of $6.50, the closing price on the vesting date of May 25, 2017, the date of his separation.

Pension Benefits and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

None of our Named Executive Officers participate in or have account balances in qualified or non-qualified defined benefit plans sponsored by us, neither do any of our Named Executive Officers participate in or have account balances in non-qualified defined contribution plans or other deferred compensation plans maintained by us.

Employment Agreements and Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control for Named Executive Officers

Vento Agreement

On April 2, 2013, the Company entered into a definitive employment agreement and compensation arrangement with Gerald Vento (the “Vento Agreement”), in connection with his services as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Under the terms of the Vento Agreement, Mr. Vento’s compensation was retroactive to January 1, 2013 to coincide with Mr. Vento’s start date as Chief Executive Officer.

The term of employment was initially for three years, beginning on January 1, 2013, but it was extended for an additional year through December 31, 2016 as recommended by the Compensation Committee and Board and approved by the Company’s shareholders at its 2015 annual general meeting of shareholders. Additionally, as recommended by the Compensation Committee and the Board and approved by the Company’s shareholders at its 2016 annual meeting, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to Mr. Vento’s term of employment through the earlier of June 30, 2017 or the date the Company hired a new President and Chief Executive Officer to replace Mr. Vento.

Mr. Vento was paid an annual base salary of $500,000, subject to review each calendar year and possible increases in the sole discretion of the Board. Mr. Vento also received a signing bonus of $500,000 in 2013. For each fiscal year of employment during which the Company employed Mr. Vento, he was eligible to receive a bonus based on the Company meeting certain performance criteria. Mr. Vento’s target annual bonus equaled his annual base salary (the “Target Annual Bonus”). The annual bonus ranged from 35% to 200% of the Target Annual Bonus. The annual bonus formula and performance criteria for each fiscal year were based: (i) 50% on the Company meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of its target revenue for the fiscal year; and (ii) 50% on the Company meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of its target EBITDA for the fiscal year.

Except as described below, Mr. Vento was only entitled to receive an annual bonus if he was employed by the Company pursuant to the Vento Agreement at the close of business on the last day of the applicable fiscal year with respect to the annual bonus.

Mr. Vento was granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 722,782 shares of the Company’s ordinary shares at an exercise price of $14.95, which was the fair market value of the Company’s ordinary shares on the date of grant (the “Vento Options”). In addition, Mr. Vento was granted 80,267 shares of restricted stock (the “Vento Restricted Stock”). All of the Vento Options and Vento Restricted Stock were fully vested as of December 31, 2015. The Vento Options will expire immediately upon termination of Mr. Vento’s employment for Cause, and six months after termination of Mr. Vento’s service (including service as a Board member or consultant to the Company) for any reason other than Cause. The Vento Restricted Stock and any shares acquired through exercise of the Vento Options are subject to sale restrictions, as more particularly set forth in the agreements granting those equity interests. Mr. Vento did not receive any equity compensation when the term of the Vento Agreement was extended through December 31, 2016 nor when the term of the Vento Agreement was extended through the earlier of June 30, 2017 or the date the Company hired the new President and Chief Executive Officer to replace Mr. Vento.

On December 31, 2016, either Mr. Vento or the Company could have terminated Mr. Vento’s employment under the Vento Agreement for any reason upon not less than 30 days prior written notice:

(i)

Upon termination of Mr. Vento’s employment prior to a Change of Control, by Mr. Vento for Good Reason or by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Vento Agreement), Mr. Vento will be entitled to a termination payment equal to the sum of (a) Mr. Vento’s annual base salary at the time of such termination and (b) Mr. Vento’s Target Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in which his employment is terminated (as if the applicable performance criteria have been met at the level that would result in payment of the Target Annual Bonus at the 100% level irrespective of whether or not that is the case);

(ii)

Upon termination of Mr. Vento’s employment by the resignation of Mr. Vento without Good Reason or by the Company with Cause, death or disability or for any other reason except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph above or the immediately following paragraphs below, Mr. Vento will be due no further compensation other than what is due and owing through the effective date of Mr. Vento’s resignation or termination (including any Annual Bonus that may be due and payable to Mr. Vento);

(iii)

If upon or within six months subsequent to a Change of Control, Mr. Vento’s employment is terminated by Mr. Vento for Good Reason or by the Company without Cause, Mr. Vento will be entitled to and paid a termination payment equal to three times the sum of (a) Mr. Vento’s annual base salary at the time of such termination and (b) Mr. Vento’s Target Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in which his employment is terminated (as if the applicable performance criteria have been met at the level that would result in payment of the Target Annual Bonus at the 100% level irrespective of whether or not that is the case); or

(iv)

If Mr. Vento’s employment is terminated by Mr. Vento for Good Reason or by the Company without Cause 180 days prior to the Company’s execution of an agreement which, if consummated, would constitute a Change of Control, then upon consummation of such Change of Control, Mr. Vento will receive an additional payment equal to the difference between (a) the change of control termination payment described in clause (iii) and (b) any termination payment previously provided to Mr. Vento as described in clause (i).

Mr. Vento agreed during the term of his employment and until two years after termination of employment, (A) he will not engage in any business or activity which is the same as or competitive with any business or activity conducted by the Company or any of its majority owned subsidiaries or (B) become an officer, employee or consultant of or otherwise assume a substantial role or relationship with, any governmental entity, agency or political subdivision that is a client or customer of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, provided that Mr. Vento may invest in securities of any public company so long as he does not beneficially own more than 5% of the class of public securities. During the period of Mr. Vento’s employment and until three years after the termination of employment, Mr. Vento will not, without the Company’s prior written consent, seek to employ or otherwise seek the services of any employee or consultant of the Company or any of its majority-owned subsidiaries. Mr. Vento also agreed to restrictive covenants with respect to confidentiality and work product.

In connection with the Second Amendment, the Board of Directors also proposed that the Company enter into the Consulting Agreement with Mr. Vento effective as of March 10, 2017, the date following the separation date under the Vento Employment Agreement as extended by the Second Amendment in lieu of any severance to be provided to Mr. Vento on the separation date, as an inducement for Mr. Vento to execute the Second Amendment, for Mr. Vento to continue to serve as the Company’s President and CEO through the separation date and to smoothly transition Mr. Vento’s duties to the Company’s new President and CEO. The Company entered into the Consulting Agreement with Mr. Vento on March 10, 2017.

The Consulting Agreement provides that Mr. Vento will perform certain professional consulting services for the Company. In consideration for Mr. Vento’s professional consulting services, the Company will pay Mr. Vento a consulting fee of $83,333.33 per month. The term of the Consulting Agreement will commence on the separation date under the Second Amendment and originally contemplated a one-year term. On June 18, 2017, Mr. Vento and the Company entered into an agreement to amend his Consulting Agreement to shorten the term by approximately two months and to similarly reduce the aggregate amount payable under the Consulting Agreement by $200,000. Accordingly, the Consulting Agreement, as amended, will continue until December 26, 2017. The term of the Consulting Agreement may be terminated by Mr. Vento or the Company upon 30 days advance written notice or by the Company immediately for cause as defined in the Consulting Agreement. If the Consulting Agreement is terminated by the Company without cause, Mr. Vento will be entitled to a termination payment equal to the full amount payable under the Consulting Agreement as if the agreement was not terminated. If the Consulting Agreement is terminated by the Company for cause, by Mr. Vento for any reason, or upon his death or disability, Mr. Vento will be due no further compensation other than what is due and owing through the effective time of the termination.

Gordo Agreement

On May 8, 2013, the Company entered into an executive employment agreement with Jose Gordo, effective as of May 10, 2013 relating to his service as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. The term of employment under the executive employment agreement with Mr. Gordo was from May 10, 2013 through December 31, 2015.

Mr. Gordo entered into a new Employment Agreement with the Company on December 1, 2015 with an effective date of January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2018 under which he would continue to serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (the “2016 Gordo Agreement”). Pursuant to the 2016 Gordo Agreement, Mr. Gordo was to receive an annual base salary in the amount of $350,000 subject to review each calendar year and possible increases in the sole discretion of the Board. For each fiscal year of employment under the 2016 Gordo Agreement, Mr. Gordo was eligible to receive an Annual Bonus based on the Company meeting certain performance criteria. Mr. Gordo’s Target Annual Bonus was $175,000, subject to review each calendar year and possible increase in the sole discretion of the Board. The Annual Bonus ranged from 35% to 200% of the Target Annual Bonus. The Annual Bonus formula and performance criteria for each fiscal year were based: (i) 50% on the Company meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of its target revenue for the fiscal year; and (ii) 50% on the Company meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of its target EBITDA for the fiscal year.

Except as described below, Mr. Gordo was only entitled to receive an Annual Bonus if he was employed by the Company pursuant to the 2016 Gordo Agreement at the close of business on the last day of the applicable fiscal year with respect to the Annual Bonus.

Mr. Gordo was granted stock options to purchase 499,307 shares of the Company’s ordinary shares at an exercise price of $9.33, which was the fair market value of the Company’s ordinary shares on December 1, 2015, the date of grant (the “2015 Options”). In addition, Mr. Gordo was granted 192,926 shares of restricted stock (the “2015 Restricted Stock”) on December 1, 2015. The 2015 Options and 2015 Restricted Stock are scheduled to vest as follows: one-third of the 2015 Options and 2015 Restricted Stock vested on December 31, 2016, and one-third would vest on each of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018, respectively, subject to Mr. Gordo’s continued employment by the Company. In the event that Mr. Gordo’s employment is terminated by the Company without “Cause” or by Mr. Gordo for “Good Reason” (as such terms are defined in the agreements granting those equity interests), Mr. Gordo would be credited with service through the date that is three months after the termination date (the “Final Vesting Date”), and the 2015 Restricted Stock and 2015 Options would vest on a pro-rata basis through the Final Vesting Date. In addition, all unvested 2015 Options and 2015 Restricted Stock in the Company would immediately become 100% vested upon a Change of Control (as defined in the 2016 Gordo Agreement). The 2015 Options will expire immediately upon termination of Mr. Gordo’s employment for Cause, or six months after termination of Mr. Gordo’s service (including service as a consultant to the Company) for any reason other than Cause. The 2015 Restricted Stock and any shares purchased through exercise of the 2015 Options are subject to sale restrictions as more particularly set forth in the agreements granting those equity interests.

Mr. Gordo was also granted stock options to purchase 256,151 shares of the Company’s ordinary shares at an exercise price of $17.63, which was the fair market value of the Company’s ordinary shares on July 3, 2013, the date of grant (the “2013 Options”). In addition, Mr. Gordo was granted 27,634 shares of restricted stock (the “2013 Restricted Stock”) on July 3, 2013. The 2013 Options and 2013 Restricted Stock were fully vested as of December 31, 2015. Furthermore, Mr. Gordo was granted 39,880 ordinary share options at an exercise price of $17.63 (the “Prior Service Options”) and 52,356 shares of restricted stock for services provided to the Company prior to his employment by the Company (the “Prior Service RSUs”) on July 3, 2013. The Prior Service Options were fully vested as of December 31, 2015. The Prior Service RSUs were scheduled to vest in full on December 31, 2015, however, the shares have a vesting schedule based on the Company’s stock price reaching certain targets. In the event that the targets are not met, the vesting is deferred until the targets are reached. In the event that Mr. Gordo’s employment is terminated by the Company without “Cause” or by Mr. Gordo for “Good Reason,” or the Company experiences a Change of Control prior to termination of Mr. Gordo’s employment (as such terms are defined in Mr. Gordo’s Restricted Stock Agreement), the Prior Service RSUs will fully vest. The 2013 Options and Prior Service Options will expire immediately upon termination of Mr. Gordo’s employment for Cause, six months after termination of Mr. Gordo’s service (including service as a consultant to the Company) for any reason other than Cause. The 2013 Restricted Stock, the Prior Services RSUs and any shares purchased through exercise of the 2013 Options or Prior Service Options are subject to sale restrictions as more particularly set forth in the agreements granting those equity interests.

Either Mr. Gordo or the Company could terminate Mr. Gordo’s employment under the 2016 Gordo Agreement for any reason upon not less than 30 days prior written notice:

(i)

Upon termination prior to a Change of Control by the Company without Cause or by Mr. Gordo for Good Reason, each as defined in the Gordo Agreement, Mr. Gordo will be entitled to a termination payment equal to the sum of (a) Mr. Gordo’s annual base salary at the time of such termination and (b) Mr. Gordo’s Target Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in which his employment is terminated (as if the applicable performance criteria have been met at the level that would result in payment of the Target Annual Bonus at the 100% level irrespective of whether or not that is the case);

(ii)

Upon termination of Mr. Gordo’s employment by the resignation of Mr. Gordo without Good Reason or by the Company with Cause, death or disability or for any other reason except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph above or the immediately following paragraphs below, Mr. Gordo will be due no further compensation other than what is due and owing through the effective date of Mr. Gordo’s resignation or termination (including any Annual Bonus that may be due and payable to Mr. Gordo);

(iii)

If upon or within six months subsequent to a Change of Control, Mr. Gordo’s employment is terminated by Mr. Gordo for Good Reason or by the Company without Cause, Mr. Gordo will be entitled to and paid a termination payment equal to three times the sum of (a) Mr. Gordo’s annual base salary at the time of such termination and (b) Mr. Gordo’s Target Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in which his employment is terminated (as if the applicable performance criteria have been met at the level that would result in payment of the Target Annual Bonus at the 100% level irrespective of whether or not that is the case); or

(iv)

If Mr. Gordo’s employment is terminated by Mr. Gordo for Good Reason or by the Company without Cause 180 days prior to the Company’s execution of an agreement which, if consummated, would constitute a Change of Control, then upon consummation of such Change of Control, Mr. Gordo will receive an additional payment equal to the difference between (a) the change of control termination payment described in clause (iii) and (b) any termination payment previously provided to Mr. Gordo as described in clause (i).

Mr. Gordo agreed that during the term of his employment and until two years after termination of employment, (A) he would not engage in any business or activity which is the same as or competitive with any business or activity conducted by the Company or any of its majority owned subsidiaries or (B) he would not become an officer, employee or consultant of or otherwise assume a substantial role or relationship with, any governmental entity, agency or political subdivision that is a client or customer of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, provided that Mr. Gordo could invest in securities of any public company so long as he did not beneficially own more than 5% of the class of public securities. During the period of Mr. Gordo’s employment and until three years after the termination of employment, Mr. Gordo will not, without the Company’s prior written consent, seek to employ or otherwise seek the services of any employee or consultant of the Company or any of its majority-owned subsidiaries. Mr. Gordo also agreed to restrictive covenants with respect to confidentiality and work product.

On May 25, 2017, Mr. Gordo’s employment with the Company terminated. Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, he was paid a severance payment of $525,000 and executed a Separation and Release Agreement. Because of the provision of his Employment Agreement described in paragraph (iv) above, Mr. Gordo will be entitled to an additional payment upon the consummation of the Merger in the amount of $907,725. See “The Transaction—Interests of our Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction—Golden Parachute Compensation,” beginning at page 54.

Bell Agreement

On May 8, 2017, the Company entered into an Executive Employment Agreement with Mr. Bell, which we refer to in this proxy statement as the “Bell Agreement”, retaining him as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company for a three-year term with retroactive effect to March 9, 2017. Mr. Bell will be paid an annual base salary of $500,000, subject to review each calendar year and possible increases in the sole discretion of the Board, subject to the compensation policy of the Company then in effect. Mr. Bell received a signing bonus of $500,000.

The Bell Agreement provides for a special transaction bonus if the closing of a transaction resulting in a “change of control” (as defined in the Bell Agreement) occurs before the one-year anniversary of the execution date of the Bell Agreement (the “Transaction Deadline”) and Mr. Bell is still employed by the Company on the closing date. A bonus is based on the sales price or Company valuation in the change of control transaction. See “The Transaction—Interests of our Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction—Golden Parachute Compensation,” beginning on page 54. The Board provided for this special transaction bonus in recognition that none of Mr. Bell’s long-term equity incentives (see below) will vest as a result of a change of control occurring before the one-year anniversary of the grant on May 8, 2018. See “Proposal 2,” beginning on page 107 for a description of an amendment to the Bell Agreement entered into on November 9, 2017, to push out the Transaction Deadline for the Transaction to allow Mr. Bell to receive the special transaction bonus in connection with the Transaction.

Also pursuant to the Bell Agreement, for each fiscal year of employment during which the Company employs Mr. Bell, he is be eligible to receive a bonus based on the Company meeting certain performance criteria. Mr. Bell’s target annual bonus will equal his annual base salary (the “Target Annual Bonus”). The annual bonus will range from 35% to 200% of the Target Annual Bonus. The bonus formula and performance criteria for fiscal year 2017 are based: (i) 50% on the Company meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of its target revenue for the fiscal year; and (ii) 50% on the Company meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of its target EBITDA for the fiscal year. The Company’s target revenue and target EBITDA were set by the Compensation Committee and communicated to Mr. Bell in May 2017. The annual bonus formula and performance criteria for calendar years 2018 and 2019 will be based: (i) one-third on the Company meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of its target revenue for the applicable fiscal year; (ii) one-third on the Company meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of its target EBITDA for the applicable fiscal year, and (iii) one-third on the Company meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of another objective Key Performance Indicator (the “KPI Target”) for the applicable fiscal year to be determined by the Board, or the Compensation Committee of the Board, after consultation with Mr. Bell. For purposes of the Bell Agreement, “EBITDA” means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistent with the application of such concepts in developing the Company’s annual budget, subject to adjustments for one-time occurrences outside the ordinary course of business as deemed appropriate by the Company’s Compensation Committee.

If the Company’s financial statements are restated for a period for which an Annual Bonus has been paid under the terms of the Agreement, the Annual Bonus amount for such period will be re-calculated by the Company (the “Recalculated Bonus Amount”). In any such event, the difference between the Annual Bonus in question and the Recalculated Bonus Amount will be paid to or refunded by Mr. Bell, as applicable, not later than 60 days after the restatement, provided that no such adjustments will be made at any time after the second anniversary of the Annual Bonus payment in question.

Except as described below under “Termination”, Mr. Bell will be entitled to receive an Annual Bonus only if he is employed by the Company pursuant to the Bell Agreement at the close of business on the last day of the applicable fiscal year with respect to the Annual Bonus.

Mr. Bell is entitled to 20 paid-time-off days per fiscal year. Mr. Bell is eligible to participate in, without action by the Board or any committee thereof, any benefits and perquisites available to the executive officers of the Company, including any group health, dental, life insurance, disability, or other form of executive benefit plan or program of the Company now existing or that may be later adopted by the Company. The Company will reimburse Mr. Bell for all ordinary and necessary business expenditures made by him in connection with, or in furtherance of, his employment upon presentation by him of supporting information as may from time to time be reasonably requested by the Board.

Also in connection with his hiring, Mr. Bell was granted an option to purchase 1,883,165 of the Company’s ordinary shares at an exercise price of $9.51, representing approximately 118% of the fair market value of the Company’s shares on the date of grant (the “Option”), pursuant to a Stock Option Agreement dated May 8, 2017 (the “Bell Option Agreement”). In addition, on May 8, 2017, Mr. Bell was granted 149,068 restricted shares (the “Restricted Stock”) pursuant to a Restricted Stock Agreement dated May 8, 2017 (the “Bell Restricted Stock Agreement”). The Restricted Stock was granted under the terms of the Company’s 2013 Stock Incentive Plan. The Option was granted under the terms of the Company’s Amended 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Amended Plan”), subject to the approval of the Amended Plan by the Company’s shareholders which was obtained in July of 2017. Both grants were also subject to shareholder approval at the July 2017 shareholder meeting, and shareholder approval was obtained.

The Option and Restricted Stock, as originally granted, were to vest as follows: one-third of the Options and Restricted Stock would vest on each of May 8, 2018, March 9, 2019 and March 9, 2020, subject to Mr. Bell’s continued employment by the Company. After the one year anniversary of their respective grant dates, both equity grants were subject to partial accelerated vesting in the event of Mr. Bell’s termination without “cause” or for “good reason” (as each is defined in the Bell Agreement) or in the event of his termination as a result of his death or disability, and full accelerated vesting under certain circumstances related to a change of control of the Company. If a change of control of the Company occurs before the one-year anniversary of the grant (i.e., before May 8, 2018), there was to be no accelerated vesting of these grants.

See “Proposal 2,” beginning on page 107 for a description of an amendment to each of the Bell Option Agreement and the Bell Restricted Stock Agreement to cancel the Option effective upon the consummation of the Merger and to delay the vesting of the Restricted Stock and provide for the Restricted Stock to be forfeited immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of the Merger.

Either Mr. Bell or the Company may terminate Mr. Bell’s employment under the Bell Agreement for any reason upon not less than 30 days prior written notice.

(i)

Upon termination of Mr. Bell’s employment prior to a change of control by Mr. Bell for good reason or by the Company without cause (as each term is defined in the Bell Agreement), Mr. Bell will be entitled to a termination payment equal to two times Mr. Bell’s annual base salary at the time of such termination (the “Termination Payment”).

(ii)

Upon termination of Mr. Bell’s employment by the resignation of Mr. Bell without good reason or by the Company with cause or by reason of death or disability or for any other reason except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph above or the immediately following paragraph below, Mr. Bell will be due no further compensation other than what is due and owing through the effective date of Mr. Bell’s resignation or termination (including any Annual Bonus that may be due and payable to Mr. Bell).

(iii)

If upon or within six months subsequent to a change of control, Mr. Bell’s employment is terminated by Mr. Bell for good reason or by the Company without cause, Mr. Bell will be entitled to and be paid a termination payment (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to two times the sum of (a) Mr. Bell’s annual base salary at the time of such termination and (b) Mr. Bell’s Target Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in which his employment is terminated (as if the applicable performance criteria have been met at the level that would result in payment of the Target Annual Bonus at the 100% level irrespective of whether or not that is the case); provided, however, that the Change of Control Payment will only be paid to Mr. Bell if the change of control closes after the six month anniversary of the execution date of the Bell Agreement and the change of control transaction meets a per share threshold price that is greater than or equal to $9.51 per share. In the event a change of control transaction closes in the first six months following the execution date of the Bell Agreement, or closes pursuant to an agreement entered into in the first six months following the execution date of the Bell Agreement, Mr. Bell will not be entitled to the Change of Control Payment upon his termination.

Fuller Agreement

On May 8, 2017, the Company entered into an Executive Employment Agreement with Mr. Fuller, which we refer to in this proxy statement as the “Fuller Agreement”, retaining him as Executive Vice President Finance and, effective May 11, 2017, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company for a three-year term with retroactive effect to March 13, 2017. Mr. Fuller will be paid an annual base salary of $275,000, subject to review each calendar year and possible increases in the sole discretion of the Board, subject to the compensation policy of the Company then in effect. Mr. Fuller received a signing bonus of $275,000.

The Fuller Agreement provides for a special transaction bonus if the closing of a transaction resulting in a “change of control” (as defined in the Fuller Agreement) occurs before the one-year anniversary of the execution date of the Fuller Agreement (the “Transaction Deadline”) and Mr. Fuller is still employed by the Company on the closing date. The bonus is based on the sales price or Company valuation in the change of control transaction. See “The Transaction—Interests of our Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction—Golden Parachute Payments.” The Board provided for this special transaction bonus in recognition that none of Mr. Fuller’s long-term equity incentives (see below) will vest as a result of a change of control occurring before the one-year anniversary of the grant on May 8, 2018. In connection with the approval of the Merger Agreement, the Board approved and on November 9, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment to the Fuller Agreement to push out the Transaction Deadline for the Transaction to allow Mr. Fuller to receive the special transaction bonus in connection with the Transaction.

Also pursuant to the Fuller Agreement, for each fiscal year of employment during which the Company employs Mr. Fuller, he is be eligible to receive a bonus based on the Company meeting certain performance criteria. Mr. Fuller’s target annual bonus will equal 75% of his annual base salary (the “Target Annual Bonus”). The annual bonus will range from 35% to 200% of the Target Annual Bonus. The bonus formula and performance criteria for fiscal year 2017 are based: (i) 50% on the Company meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of its target revenue for the fiscal year; and (ii) 50% on the Company meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of its target EBITDA for the fiscal year. The Company’s target revenue and target EBITDA were set by the Compensation Committee and communicated to Mr. Fuller in May 2017. The annual bonus formula and performance criteria for calendar years 2018 and 2019 will be based: (i) one-third on the Company meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of its target revenue for the applicable fiscal year; (ii) one-third on the Company meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of its target EBITDA for the applicable fiscal year, and (iii) one-third on the Company meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of another objective Key Performance Indicator (the “KPI Target”) for the applicable fiscal year to be determined by the Board, or the Compensation Committee of the Board, after consultation with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Fuller. For purposes of the Fuller Agreement, “EBITDA” means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistent with the application of such concepts in developing the Company’s annual budget, subject to adjustments for one-time occurrences outside the ordinary course of business as deemed appropriate by the Company’s Compensation Committee. The Fuller Agreement also provides for long-term equity incentives, including a restricted stock grant of 37,267 shares and the grant of an option to purchase 470,791 shares.

Mr. Fuller is entitled to 20 paid-time-off days per fiscal year. Mr. Fuller is eligible to participate in, without action by the Board or any committee thereof, any benefits and perquisites available to the executive officers of the Company, including any group health, dental, life insurance, disability, or other form of executive benefit plan or program of the Company now existing or that may be later adopted by the Company. The Company will reimburse Mr. Fuller for all ordinary and necessary business expenditures made by him in connection with, or in furtherance of, his employment upon presentation by him of supporting information as may from time to time be reasonably requested by the Board.

Mr. Fuller’s restricted stock grant was granted under the terms of the Company’s 2013 Stock Incentive Plan pursuant to a Restricted Stock Agreement dated May 8, 2017 (the “Fuller Restricted Stock Agreement”). Mr. Fuller’s option was granted under the terms of the Company’s Amended 2013 Stock Incentive Plan and pursuant to an Option Agreement dated May 8, 2017, as amended by Amendment to Option Agreement dated July 27, 2017 (the “Options”). The Options have an exercise price equal to $9.51 per share and will vest over thirty-four (34) months commencing on the one year anniversary of the date of grant, May 8, 2018. The restricted stock would similarly vest over a period of thirty-four (34) months commencing on the one year anniversary of the date of grant. After the one year anniversary of their respective grant dates, both equity grants are subject to partial accelerated vesting in the event of Mr. Fuller’s termination without “cause” or for “good reason” (as each is defined in the Fuller Agreement) or in the event of his termination as a result of his death or disability, and full accelerated vesting under certain circumstances related to a change of control of the Company.

Also in connection with the approval of the Merger Agreement, the Board approved, and the Company entered into, an amendment to the Fuller Restricted Stock Agreement to delay the vesting of the restricted stock and to provide for the restricted stock to be forfeited immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of the Merger.

In the event a change of control transaction closes in the first six months following the execution date of the Fuller Agreement, or closes pursuant to an agreement entered into in the first six months following the execution date of the Fuller Agreement, Mr. Fuller will not be entitled to the Change of Control Payment upon his termination.

2017 Director Compensation

During 2017, Meridian developed a peer group analysis for the purpose of comparing and analyzing the level and cost of the compensation package to be offered to the Company’s non-executive directors. The peer group companies considered by Meridian and approved by the Compensation Committee in connection with 2017 compensation include companies of similar size, as measured by trailing twelve months revenue, market capitalization and enterprise value, that operated in the same or complimentary industries as the Company and are as follows:

8x8 Inc

Alaska Communications Sys Gp

Atn International Inc

Boingo Wireless Inc

Brightcove Inc

Cogent Communications Hldgs

Demandware Inc

Five9 Inc

Fusion Telecommunications

GTT Communications Inc

Hawaiian Telcom Holdco Inc

Incontact Inc

Inteliquent Inc

Iridium Communications Inc

Limelight Networks Inc

LivePerson Inc

LogMeIn Inc

Lumos Networks Corp

Ooma Inc

ORBCOMM Inc

Shenandoah Telecommun Co

Spok Holdings Inc

Synacor Inc

The Compensation Committee considered the data and analyses prepared by Meridian that included the appropriateness of: (i) total annual compensation, (ii) annual retainer and Board meeting fees, (iii) committee fees (including committee retainers, meeting fees and chair fees), (iv) equity compensation, and (v) leadership fees (i.e., lead director and non-executive chairman). The peer group data was collected primarily from proxy filings reflecting the most recently disclosed compensation as of the time Meridian compiled the data in 2017.

Meridian reviewed with the Compensation Committee its analysis of the above referenced elements of compensation in comparison to the 25th percentile, the 50th percentile and 75th percentile target opportunity of the peer group. The Compensation Committee used this peer group data to obtain a general understanding of current compensation practices consistent with our Amended Compensation Policy, to ensure that it was acting in an informed and responsible manner and to make sure our non-executive director compensation program is competitive. The Compensation Committee did not seek to set any elements of compensation at a specific percentile of the relevant peer group but, it did want to understand and be cognizant of the divergence of any of the compensation elements from the 25th percentile, 50th percentile and 75th percentile. The Compensation Committee and Board determined that the compensation packages proposed for non-executive directors in the Company’s Amended Compensation Policy was consistent with the compensation paid to non-executive directors by the Company’s peer group presented by Meridian. The Amended Compensation Policy, including the terms of non-executive director compensation, was presented to and approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s special meeting held on July 31, 2017.

PROPOSAL 1

THE MERGER

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, which is described in this proxy statement and attached as Annex A , the Company will be merged with Merger Sub and will survive as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of B. Riley. We encourage you to carefully read the Merger Agreement in its entirety, which is the principal document governing the Merger.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, all of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares (other than those held by Parent, Merger Sub and their subsidiaries) will be cancelled and each shareholder of Company shares will cease to have any rights with respect to such shares except the right to receive $8.71 per share in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.

Completion of the Merger is conditioned on, among other things, approval of the Merger as set forth in this Proposal.

Proposal Resolutions

It is proposed that shareholders approve the Merger Proposal by adopting the following resolution:

“ RESOLVED , to approve, pursuant to the Companies Law, the merger of the Company with B. R. Acquisition Ltd. (“Merger Sub”), an Israeli corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of B. Riley Financial, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), including approval of: (i) the merger transaction pursuant to Sections 314 through 327 of the Companies Law, whereby Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving and becoming an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent; (ii) the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 9, 2017, by and among the Company, Merger Sub and Parent (the “Merger Agreement”); (iii) the consideration to be received by the Company’s shareholders in the Merger, consisting of $8.71 in cash for each share held as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger; (iv) the conversion of each outstanding Company stock option into the right to receive an amount of cash equal to the product of (a) the total number of Company shares subject to such Company stock option as of immediately prior to the effective time, and (b) the excess, if any, of (1) $8.71 over (2) the exercise price per share of such Company stock option; (v) the cash compensation to be paid in consideration of accelerated restricted stock that will be cancelled effective immediately prior to the effective time; (vi) the purchase by the Company of a prepaid tail insurance policy for the Company’s directors and officers for a period of seven years following the effective time of the Merger; and (vii) all other transactions and arrangements contemplated by the Merger Agreement, as described in the Proxy Statement, dated February 8, 2018, sent by the Company to its shareholders in respect of this Meeting.”

PROPOSAL 2

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

Background

On November 9, 2017, in connection with its execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into an amendment to the employment agreement (the “Bell Agreement”) with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Don C. Bell III (the “Bell Amendment”).

The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement would, if consummated, constitute a “change of control” entitling Mr. Bell to payment of a “Special Transaction Bonus,” as such terms are defined by the Bell Agreement, provided the Transaction is consummated prior to May 8, 2018 (the “Transaction Deadline”) and further provided that Mr. Bell continues to be employed by the Company until the Transaction Deadline.

The Bell Amendment provides for a modification of the Transaction Deadline in a manner that will allow Mr. Bell the opportunity to earn his Special Transaction Bonus either (i) if any change of control is consummated by May 8, 2018 or (ii) upon the occurrence of the closing of the Merger at any time.

Concurrently with the Bell Amendment, the Company also entered into an amendment to a restricted stock award agreement dated May 8, 2017 with Mr. Bell (the “Restricted Stock Award”), that provides for a potential corresponding delay in the vesting of the Restricted Stock Award in the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated after May 8, 2018 (the “Bell RSA Amendment”). The Bell RSA Amendment provides that the Restricted Stock Awards will be forfeited immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of the Merger.

Amendment No. 20 to the Companies Law which came into effect in December 2012, requires that the terms of service and employment of a company’s chief executive officer be approved by the company’s compensation committee, board of directors and the shareholders of the company, by special majority vote. Similarly, material amendments to the employment terms for the chief executive officer must be approved by the company’s compensation committee, board of directors and the shareholders of the company, by special majority vote. The Bell Agreement and the Restricted Stock Award were previously approved in accordance with Amendment No. 20. As provided in the Israeli Companies Law, the Bell Amendment and the Bell RSA Amendment must be approved by the Compensation Committee, the Board and the shareholders of the Company by special majority vote. The Compensation Committee approved the Bell Amendment and the Bell RSA Amendment on November 7, 2017 and the Board approved such amendments on November 7, 2017. Accordingly, the Bell Amendment and the Bell RSA Amendment were entered into by the Company subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the Israeli Companies Law. The Company previously disclosed the entry into the Bell Amendment and the Bell RSA Amendment on a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 16, 2017, and attached copies of each of these agreements as exhibits to the Form 8-K.

Proposed Resolutions

It is proposed that shareholders approve the CEO Compensation Proposal by adopting the following resolution:

“ RESOLVED , that each of (i) the amendment dated November 9, 2017 of the employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Don C. Bell III, Chief Executive Officer (the “Bell Amendment”), and (ii) the amendment dated November 9, 2017 of the May 8, 2017 restricted stock agreement between the Company and Mr. Bell (the “Bell RSA Amendment”), in each case as described in “The Transaction—Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction—Golden Parachute Compensation” in the Proxy Statement, dated February 8, 2018, sent by the Company to its shareholders in respect of this Meeting, be, and the same hereby are, approved; and be it

FURTHERMORE RESOLVED , that the appropriate officers of the Company be, and hereby are, authorized, on behalf of the Company, to execute and deliver and then on behalf of the Company perform under each of the Bell Amendment and the Bell RSA Amendment.”

107

Vote Required for Approval

The vote required for approval of Proposal 2 is the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and voting thereon (excluding abstentions).

In addition, the approval of Proposal 2 requires that either of the following two voting conditions be met as part of the approval by a majority of shares present and voting thereon:

If you do not state whether you have a personal interest in the approval of Proposal 2 by appropriate indication on your proxy card or voting instruction card, you will be considered as having a personal interest in Proposal 2, and your shares will not be counted in the special majority vote required for approval of this Proposal.

Recommendation of the Board

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “ FOR ” PROPOSAL 2.

108

PROPOSAL 3

GOLDEN PARACHUTE PAYMENTS

Advisory Vote Regarding the Golden Parachute Compensation Proposal

Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and Rule 14a-21(c) of the Exchange Act, we are seeking non-binding, advisory shareholder approval of the compensation that will be paid or may become payable to our named executive officers in connection with the Merger, as disclosed in “The Transaction—Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction—Golden Parachute Compensation” beginning on page 54 of this proxy statement. The proposal gives shareholders the opportunity to express their views on the Merger-related compensation of the named executive officers.

Proposed Resolutions

It is proposed that shareholders approve the Golden Parachute Payments Proposal by adopting the resolution set forth below on a non-binding, advisory basis:

“ RESOLVED , to approve on a non-binding, advisory basis, certain compensation that will be paid or may become payable to the Company’s named executive officers in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K in “The Transaction—Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction—Golden Parachute Compensation” in the Proxy Statement, dated February 8, 2018, sent by the Company to its shareholders in respect of this Meeting.”

Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon the Company, the Board, the Compensation Committee or Parent. Further, the underlying plans and arrangements are contractual in nature and (except with respect to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company) are not, by their terms, subject to shareholder approval. Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the advisory vote and except and to the extent the shareholders do not approve Proposal 2, above, if the Merger is consummated, our named executive officers may become eligible to receive the compensation that is based on or otherwise relates to the Merger in accordance with the terms and conditions applicable to those payments as described in “The Transaction—Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction—Golden Parachute Compensation.”

The vote on this non-binding, advisory Golden Parachute Payments Proposal is a vote separate and apart from the vote on the Merger Proposal and the CEO Compensation Proposal. Accordingly, you may vote “FOR” the Merger Proposal and “FOR” the CEO Compensation Proposal and vote “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” with respect to this Golden Parachute Payments Proposal (and vice versa).

Vote Required for Approval

The vote required for approval of Proposal 3 is the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and voting thereon (excluding abstentions).

Recommendation of the Board

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “ FOR ” PROPOSAL 3.

109

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

If the Merger is completed, we will not hold an annual general meeting of shareholders in our 2018 fiscal year. If the Merger is not completed as expected, you will continue to be entitled to attend and participate in our annual meetings of shareholders, and we will hold a 2018 annual meeting of shareholders, in which case we will publicly announce the date on which such 2018 annual general meeting of shareholders will be held.

Shareholders may present proper proposals for inclusion in our proxy statement and for consideration at any general meeting, including the Meeting, by submitting their proposals in writing in a timely manner. Such request must comply with the requirements of our Amended and Restated Articles of Association and the Israeli Companies Law, which establish an advance notice procedure and set forth the required information which must be provided by shareholders holding at least one percent of the voting rights in the issued share capital of the Company who wish to include a subject in the agenda of the meeting. Any such request must be in writing, must include all information related to the subject matter and the reason that such subject is proposed to be brought before the meeting and must be signed by the shareholder or shareholders making such request. Each such request must also set forth: (a) the name and address of the shareholder making the request; (b) a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of shares of the Company entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting; (c) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the shareholder and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) in connection with the subject which is requested to be included in the agenda; and (d) a declaration that all the information that is required under the Companies Law and any other applicable law to be provided to the Company in connection with such subject, if any, has been provided. Furthermore, the Board may, in its discretion and to the extent it deems necessary, request that the shareholders making the request provide additional information necessary so as to include a subject in the agenda of the Meeting.

Under Section 66(b) of the Companies Law, a shareholder who meets the conditions of Section 66(b) of the Companies Law may submit its request to include an agenda item within seven days following the Company’s notice of convening a shareholders’ meeting at which directors are to be elected and certain other proposals are to be considered. Proposals should be addressed to: magicJack VocalTec Ltd., 12 Haomanut Street, 2nd Floor, Poleg Industrial Area, Netanya, Israel, 42504, Attn: Secretary. In addition, shareholder proposals submitted to the Company pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must comply with the requirements of that Rule.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXIES

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (such as brokerage firms, banks, and other nominees) to implement a delivery procedure called “householding.” Under this procedure, multiple shareholders who reside at the same address may receive a single copy of our proxy materials and annual reports unless an affected shareholder has provided contrary instructions. This procedure reduces printing costs and postage fees.

If you are a beneficial owner of our ordinary shares and you share an address with other beneficial owners, then your brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee may have delivered a single copy of this proxy statement and of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for all beneficial owners sharing your address.

To the extent amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, the withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. The Payor undertakes to promptly provide each Person from whom Tax was so withheld with sufficient evidence regarding the amounts that were paid and withheld with respect to such Person.

A - 46

(b) The Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours) after receipt by the Company (or any of its Representatives) of any Acquisition Proposal, any inquiry that would be reasonably expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal or of any request for information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Person that would be reasonably expected to make, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal, which notice shall be provided orally and in writing and shall identify the identity of the Person, the material terms and conditions of, any such Acquisition Proposal, indication or request (including if applicable, complete copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements) and thereafter shall keep Parent informed, on a current basis (and, in any event, within 24 hours), of the status and terms of any such proposals or offers (including any amendments thereto) and any material changes thereto.

(c) Neither the Board of Directors of the Company nor the Committee shall (i) withhold, withdraw, modify or qualify (or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, modify or qualify) in any manner adverse to Parent the Company Board Recommendation, (ii) approve or recommend, or publicly declare advisable, any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (iv) if any Acquisition Proposal that is structured as a tender offer or exchange offer for outstanding Company Stock is commenced, fail to recommend against acceptance of such offer by the Company’s shareholders prior to the earlier of (A) the date of the Shareholders Meeting and (B) 11 business days (which for this purpose shall be used as such term is used in Rule 14d-9 of the Exchange Act) after commencement of such tender offer or exchange offer, (v) approve or recommend, or publicly declare advisable or publicly propose to enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement, collaboration agreement or other agreement with respect to, or that is intended or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) (an “ Alternative Acquisition Agreement ”, and any of the actions set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) through (v), a “ Company Adverse Recommendation Change ”) or (vi) cause or permit the Company to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement; provided, however, if at any time prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, (i) a bona fide Acquisition Proposal not solicited in violation of this Agreement is made (and not withdrawn) and the Board of Directors of the Company, acting upon the recommendation of the Committee, concludes in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that (x) such Acquisition Proposal would, if consummated, constitute a Superior Proposal, and (y) such action is reasonably likely to be necessary in order for the directors to comply with their fiduciary duties under applicable Law (assuming Israeli Law follows Delaware Law on these matters), the Board of Directors of the Company may (A) make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or (B) cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(e) (and pay the Company Termination Fee due in connection with such termination), or (ii) an Intervening Event has occurred and the Board of Directors of the Company, acting upon the recommendation of the Committee, concludes in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that (x) such Intervening Event materially adversely affects the advisability of this Agreement and the Merger to the Company from a financial point of view and (y) such action is reasonably likely to be necessary in order for the directors to comply with their fiduciary duties under applicable Law (assuming Israeli Law follows Delaware Law on these matters), the Board of Directors of the Company may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change; provided, that the Board of Directors of the Company shall not be entitled to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 5.02(c) or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(e) unless it has first (1) caused the Company to provide Parent at least four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice advising Parent that it intends to take such action (a “ Notice of Superior Proposal / Intervening Event ”), which notice shall (I) state that the Company has received a Superior Proposal or an Intervening Event has occurred, (II) specify the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, or the material facts and circumstances (based on information reasonably available) related to such Intervening Event, (III) in the case of a Superior Proposal, identify the Person making such Superior Proposal, to the extent not previously identified and (IV) in the case of a Superior Proposal, enclose the most recent draft of any agreements intended to be entered into with the Person making or providing such Superior Proposal (or any Affiliate of such Person), (2) caused the Company and its Representatives to negotiate, to the extent Parent so wishes to negotiate, during such four (4) Business Day period following delivery of the Notice of Superior Proposal / Intervening Event in good faith with Parent concerning any revisions to the terms of this Agreement that Parent proposes in response to such Superior Proposal or Intervening Event and (3) after complying with clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 5.02(c), determined that, in the case of a Superior Proposal, such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal, and in the case of an Intervening Event, such Intervening Event continues to materially adversely affect the advisability of this Agreement and the Merger to the Company from a financial point of view, in each case after giving due consideration to any changes proposed to be made to this Agreement by Parent in writing. Any material modification to any Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be a new occurrence for purposes of this Section 5.02(c) except that the advance written notice obligation set forth in this Section 5.02(c) shall be reduced to two Business Days.

The Company will promptly terminate all physical and electronic data access previously granted to such Persons, in each case relating to or in connection with any Acquisition Proposal, or proposal or transaction that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal.

(f) From the execution of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of (x) the date of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and (y) the Effective Time, the Company shall not terminate, amend, modify or waive any provision of any confidentiality, “standstill” or similar agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party and shall enforce, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, the provisions of any such agreement, including by obtaining injunctions to prevent any breaches of such agreements and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be permitted to terminate, amend, modify, waive or fail to enforce any provision of any confidentiality, “standstill” or similar obligation of any Person if the Board of Directors of the Company, acting upon the recommendation of the Committee, concludes in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, such action is reasonably likely to be necessary in order for the directors to comply with their fiduciary duties under applicable Law (assuming Israeli Law follows Delaware Law on these matters).

If the Company and the Surviving Corporation for any reason fail to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, for a period of at least seven years from and after the Effective Time, obtain and maintain in effect, at no expense to any Indemnified Party, policies of insurance for the persons who are covered by the Company’s existing D&O Insurance, with terms, conditions, retentions and levels of coverage at least as favorable as provided in such existing D&O Insurance, from insurance carriers with the same or better claims-paying ability ratings as the Company’s current D&O Insurance carriers; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay for such policies of insurance aggregate one-time premium costs in excess of the amount set forth in Section 5.06 of the Disclosure Schedule (the “ Premium Cap ”), in which case the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain in effect, at no expense to any Indemnified Party, for a period of at least seven years from the Effective Time for the persons who are covered by the Company’s existing D&O Insurance, policies of insurance with the best overall terms, conditions, retentions and levels of coverage reasonably available for an annual premium equal to the Premium Cap.

In the event that this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 7.01, and written notice thereof shall be given by the terminating Party to the other Party identified in Section 7.01, specifying the provisions hereof pursuant to which such termination is made and the basis therefor, and this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and of no effect without liability or obligation on the part of any Party (or any Affiliate of such Party and such Party’s and its Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, members, managers, employees, agents or representatives), except that no such termination shall relieve any Party from any liabilities or damages resulting from any willful and material breach of this Agreement prior to or in connection with such termination or from any obligation to pay the Company Termination Fee pursuant to Section 7.03(b) or Section 7.03(c); provided, however, that the provisions of Article 1, Parent’s reimbursement obligations pursuant to Section 5.14, this Section 7.02, Section 7.03 and Article 8 and the Confidentiality Agreement shall each survive the termination of this Agreement, as applicable, in accordance with their respective terms. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the foregoing, any failure of Parent to effect the Merger and to make the payments contemplated by Section 2.08(a) following the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article 6 (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied at such time) shall be a willful and material breach of this Agreement by Parent.

(b) In the event that this Agreement is terminated (1) by Parent pursuant to Section 7.01(f) (Change of Recommendation) or (2) by the Company pursuant to Section 7.01(e) (Superior Proposal), then the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent the Company Termination Fee (i) on or before the third Business Day following the date of such termination (in the case of a termination other than pursuant to Section 7.01(e) (Superior Proposal)) or (ii) prior to or concurrently with such termination (in the case of termination by the Company pursuant to Section 7.01(e) (Superior Proposal)), by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. dollars to the applicable account or accounts designated in writing to the Company by Parent.

A - 67

(c) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(i) (End Date), by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(iii) (Company Shareholder Approval) or by Parent pursuant to Section 7.01(c) (Company Breach), and, in any such case, (i) at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to the termination of this Agreement, an Acquisition Proposal shall have been made to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its shareholders or shall have been publicly announced and such Acquisition Proposal shall not have been publicly withdrawn on a bona fide basis without qualification (1) at least thirty (30) Business Days prior to a termination pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(i) (End Date), or (2) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Shareholders Meeting in connection with a termination pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(iii) (Company Shareholder Approval) and (ii) within twelve (12) months after such termination, the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal that is thereafter consummated, or shall have consummated or shall have approved or recommended to the Company’s shareholders or otherwise not opposed, an Acquisition Proposal that is thereafter consummated, then the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent the Company Termination Fee prior to or concurrently with entry into, or if not pursuant to an agreement, recommendation or consummation of, such Acquisition Proposal by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. dollars to the applicable account or accounts designated in writing to the Company by Parent. For purposes of only subclause (ii) of this Section 7.03(c), the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 5.02(g)(i), except that the references to “20%” shall be deemed to be references to “50%”.

(d) Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in this Section 7.03 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, neither the Company nor Parent or Merger Sub would enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to promptly pay the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 7.03(b) or Section 7.03(c) and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Company for the Company Termination Fee (or any portion thereof), then the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the Company Termination Fee at the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment plus two percent (2%). The Company Termination Fee is non-refundable and shall not be set off by or credited against any other payment.

(e) Upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Parent’s right, if any, to receive the Company Termination Fee pursuant to Section 7.03(b) or Section 7.03(c), and the amounts described in Section 7.03(d), shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates against the Company and its former, current or future shareholders, directors, officers, Affiliates, agents or other Representatives for any loss suffered as a result of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement or the failure of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated, and upon payment of such Company Termination Fee and any applicable amount described in Section 7.03(d), none of the Company or any of its former, current or future shareholders, directors, officers, Affiliates, agents or other Representatives shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that, nothing in this Section 7.03(e) shall relieve any Party from any liabilities or damages resulting from any willful and material breach of this Agreement prior to or in connection with such termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee more than once.

A - 68

No waiver of any breach of any provision shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision, nor shall any waiver be implied from any course of dealing between the Parties. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective except by written instrument executed by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No extension of time for performance of any obligations or other acts hereunder or under any other agreement shall be deemed to be an extension of the time for performance of any other obligations or any other acts.

Section 8.04. Disclosure Schedule . The Disclosure Schedule is not intended to constitute, and shall not be construed as constituting, representations or warranties of the Company, except and solely to the extent that a representation or warranty set forth in Article 3 of this Agreement specifically states that a correct and complete list of a particular item is set forth on a particular section of the Disclosure Schedule. The fact that any item or other information is disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule shall not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement. Inclusion of any item or other matter in the Disclosure Schedule shall not be construed as an admission or indication that such item or other matter is or is not material, that such item has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or that such item will in fact exceed any applicable threshold limitation set forth in this Agreement. Headings in the Disclosure Schedule are inserted for reference purposes and for convenience of the reader only, and shall not affect the interpretation thereof or of this Agreement. The information contained in this Agreement and in the Disclosure Schedule and all exhibits hereto is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and nothing contained herein or therein shall be deemed to be an admission by the Company, or following the Merger the Surviving Corporation, to any Person of any matter whatsoever (including any violation of Law, breach of contract, or any other liability or responsibility in connection with any pending, threatened, or future matter or proceeding) or a waiver by the Company, or following the Merger the Surviving Corporation, of any rights or remedies against any Person.

A - 71

Section 8.05. Binding Effect; Assignment . The rights and obligations of this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. Except as expressly provided herein, the rights and obligations of this Agreement may not be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties. Within thirty (30) calendar days from the date hereof (the “ Assignment Period ”), Parent may assign any and all of its rights under this Agreement to any Affiliate of Parent, including (A) the Person identified to the Company by Parent in writing concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, or (B) any private investment fund managed by a wholly-owned direct or indirect Subsidiary of Parent (such assignee, the “ Proposed Assignee ”), provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied (the “ Permitted Assignment ”): (a) the Company’s board of directors determines that, considering the anticipated change in the financial position of the merging companies upon effectiveness of the Permitted Assignment, no reasonable concern exists that the Surviving Corporation will be unable to fulfill the obligations of the Surviving Corporation to its creditors; (b) the proposed assignment would not reasonably be expected to materially delay or significantly increase the risk of not obtaining the expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act (or any extensions thereof), significantly increase the risk of any Governmental Authority entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, or significantly increase the risk of not being able to remove any such order on appeal or otherwise; (c) the Proposed Assignee is an entity organized under the Laws of any state of the United States; (d) the Proposed Assignee consents in writing to assume all obligations of Parent under this Agreement; (e) the Proposed Assignee affirms in writing that all representations and warranties made in this Agreement with respect to Parent as of the date of this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties made with respect to the Proposed Assignee as of the date of such assignment (other than (i) Section 3.01, to the extent Proposed Assignee’s state of organization is different from that of Parent, and (ii) Section 4.07); (f) Merger Sub, which upon the Permitted Assignment becoming effective shall be a wholly owned direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Proposed Assignee, re-affirms in writing that all representations and warranties made in this Agreement with respect to Merger Sub as of the date of this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties made with respect to Merger Sub as of the date of such assignment; (g) no assignment shall relieve Parent of any of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement; and (h) Parent delivers to the Company a written notice of consummation of the Permitted Assignment, together with the true, correct and complete assignment documents containing evidence that the conditions to the Permitted Assignment set forth in clauses (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 8.05 have been satisfied. Parent shall promptly notify the Company in writing in the event Parent has determined that it will not exercise its right to make a Permitted Assignment. Any purported assignment in violation of this Agreement is null and void ab initio .

Section 8.06. Guaranty of Obligations . Parent acknowledges and agrees that a Permitted Assignment shall not (a) relieve Parent or Merger Sub of their obligations under this Agreement, (b) enlarge, alter or change any obligation of the Company under this Agreement, or (c) impede the rights of the Company shareholders under this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Parent hereby guarantees all obligations of the Proposed Assignee under this Agreement in the event of a Permitted Assignment, including, without limitation, providing the funds to satisfy the condition to the Company’s obligations to effect the Merger set forth in Section 6.03(c) in the event that the Company brings an action in equity pursuant to Section 8.11 to enforce the provisions of this Agreement against the Proposed Assignee.

A - 72

Section 8.07. No Third Party Beneficiaries . Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended to confer any legal or equitable rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that the Parties specifically acknowledge and agree that after the Effective Time, (a) Section 5.06 shall be enforceable by each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and (b) each holder of Company Stock shall be entitled to enforce the provisions contained in the first sentence of Section 2.07(d)(iii) and in Section 2.08(c) solely to the extent necessary to receive the consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant thereto.

Section 8.08. Governing Law . This Agreement and its enforcement will be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state without regard to the conflicts of law provisions thereof, except that (i) the internal affairs of the corporations party hereto that are organized and existing under the ICL and (ii) all other provisions of, or transactions contemplated by, this Agreement that are expressly or otherwise required to be governed by the ICL shall be governed by the ICL.

Section 8.09. Consent to Jurisdiction . Each Party hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such Court does not have jurisdiction, any Delaware State court, or Federal court of the United States of America, sitting in Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof (the “ Delaware Courts ”), for any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination or validity thereof. Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceedings brought in such court. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or argue in any such court (a) that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance with applicable Law, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts or from any legal process commenced in the Delaware Courts (including but not limited to service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in the Delaware Courts is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper and (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by the Delaware Courts.

Section 8.10. Waiver of Jury Trial . EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE, IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

A - 73

Section 8.11. Specific Performance . The Parties agree that irreparable harm would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms on a timely basis or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, without posting bond or other undertaking, the Parties shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of competent jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In the event that any such action is brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no Party will allege, and each Party hereby waives the defense or counterclaim, that there is an adequate remedy at law. The Parties further agree that (a) by seeking any remedy provided for in this Section 8.11, a Party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to such Party under this Agreement, including monetary damages, and (b) nothing contained in this Section 8.11 shall require any Party to institute any action for (or limit such Party’s right to institute any action for) specific performance under this Section 8.11 before exercising any other right under this Agreement nor shall the commencement of any action pursuant to this Section 8.11 or anything in this Section 8.11 restrict or limit any Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 7.01 or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter.

Section 8.12. Severability . If any provisions of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then (a) a substitute and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable in such jurisdiction, the intent and purpose of the invalid or unenforceable provision, and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability of such provision affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.

Section 8.13. Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by means of facsimile and electronically transmitted portable document format (pdf) signature pages), each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Poleg Industrial Area
Netanya, Israel 42504

Members of the Board of Directors:

We understand that magicJack VocalTec Ltd. (“magicJack”) proposes to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”), among magicJack, B. Riley Financial, Inc. (“B. Riley”) and B. R. Acquisition Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of B. Riley (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub will merge with and into magicJack (the “Merger”) and each outstanding ordinary share, no par value, of magicJack (“magicJack Stock”) will be converted into the right to receive US$8.71 in cash (the “Consideration”). The terms and conditions of the Merger are more fully set forth in the Agreement.

You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of magicJack Stock of the Consideration to be received by such holders in the Merger.

In connection with this opinion, we have, among other things:

(1)

reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information relating to magicJack;

(2)

reviewed certain internal financial and operating information with respect to the business, operations and prospects of magicJack furnished to or discussed with us by the management of magicJack, including certain financial forecasts relating to magicJack (including financial forecasts relating to magicJack’s Spark initiative) prepared by the management of magicJack (such forecasts, “magicJack Forecasts”), and have discussed with the management of magicJack its assessment of the probability of success of magicJack’s Spark initiative reflected in the magicJack Forecasts;

(3)

discussed the past and current business, operations, financial condition and prospects of magicJack with members of senior management of magicJack;

(4)

(5)

compared certain financial and stock market information of magicJack with similar information of other companies we deemed relevant;

(6)

compared certain financial terms of the Merger to financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of other transactions we deemed relevant;

The Board of Directors

(7)

considered the fact that magicJack publicly announced that it would explore its strategic alternatives and the results of our efforts on behalf of magicJack to solicit, at the direction of magicJack, indications of interest and definitive proposals from third parties with respect to a possible acquisition of magicJack;

(8)

reviewed a draft, dated November 8, 2017, of the Agreement (the “Draft Agreement”); and

(9)

performed such other analyses and studies and considered such other information and factors as we deemed appropriate.

In arriving at our opinion, we have assumed and relied upon, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of the financial and other information and data publicly available or provided to or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with us and have relied upon the assurances of the management of magicJack that they are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make such information or data inaccurate or misleading in any material respect. With respect to the magicJack Forecasts, we have been advised by magicJack, and have assumed, that they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and good faith judgments of the management of magicJack as to the future financial performance of magicJack. We have also relied, at the direction of magicJack, on the assessment of the management of magicJack of the probability of success of magicJack’s Spark initiative reflected in the magicJack Forecasts. We have not made or been provided with any independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of magicJack, nor have we made any physical inspection of the properties or assets of magicJack. We have not evaluated the solvency or fair value of magicJack or B. Riley under any state, federal or other laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. We have assumed, at the direction of magicJack, that the Merger will be consummated in accordance with its terms, without waiver, modification or amendment of any material term, condition or agreement and that, in the course of obtaining the necessary governmental, regulatory and other approvals, consents, releases and waivers for the Merger, no delay, limitation, restriction or condition, including any divestiture requirements or amendments or modifications, will be imposed that would have an adverse effect on magicJack or the contemplated benefits of the Merger. We also have assumed, at the direction of magicJack, that that the final executed Agreement will not differ in any material respect from the Draft Agreement reviewed by us.

We express no view or opinion as to any terms or other aspects of the Merger (other than the Consideration to the extent expressly specified herein), including, without limitation, the form or structure of the Merger. Our opinion is limited to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Consideration to be received by holders of magicJack Stock and no opinion or view is expressed with respect to any consideration received in connection with the Merger by the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of any party. In addition, no opinion or view is expressed with respect to the fairness (financial or otherwise) of the amount, nature or any other aspect of any compensation to any of the officers, directors or employees of any party to the Merger, or class of such persons, relative to the Consideration. Furthermore, no opinion or view is expressed as to the relative merits of the Merger in comparison to other strategies or transactions that might be available to magicJack or in which magicJack might engage or as to the underlying business decision of magicJack to proceed with or effect the Merger. In addition, we express no opinion or recommendation as to how any shareholder should vote or act in connection with the Merger or any related matter.

We have acted as financial advisor to magicJack in connection with the Merger and will receive a fee for our services, a portion of which is payable in connection with/upon the rendering of this opinion and a significant portion of which is contingent upon consummation of the Merger. In addition, magicJack has agreed to reimburse our expenses and indemnify us against certain liabilities arising out of our engagement.
