If you hold ADSs, you can revoke your voting instructions by filing with Bank of New York Mellon a written notice of revocation or a duly completed voting instruction form bearing a later date at any time before the deadline.

ABOUT THE VOTING PROCEDURE AT
THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
- What constitutes a quorum?
-
To conduct business at the Meeting, two or more shareholders must be present, in person or by proxy, holding shares conferring in the aggregate at least thirty-three and one/third percent (33-1/3%) of the voting power of the Company.
Ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy (including ordinary shares held by The Bank of New York Mellon as the Depositary of the ADSs and voted in accordance with the instructions of holders of ADSs) will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. A "broker non-vote" occurs when a bank, broker or other holder of record holding shares for a beneficial owner submits a voting instruction form but does not vote on a particular proposal because that holder does not have discretionary voting power for that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present in determining if a quorum is present.
- What happens if a quorum is not present?
- If a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting, the Meeting will be adjourned to 5:30 p.m. Israel time on the same day, at the same place, and at such adjourned meeting any two shareholders will constitute a quorum.
- How will votes be counted?
- Each outstanding ordinary share is entitled to one (1) vote, and each outstanding ADS is entitled to one (1) vote for each ordinary share represented thereby. The Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Association do not provide for cumulative voting. On all matters considered at the Meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be treated as either a vote "FOR" or "AGAINST" the matter.
3
- What are the requirements for approval of each of the proposals?
- Each of the proposed resolutions requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of our ordinary shares cast in person or by proxy at the Meeting on the proposal (an "Ordinary Majority"). In addition, under Israeli law Proposal 5 requires, in addition to an Ordinary Majority, that either (1) a simple majority of shares voted at the Meeting, excluding the shares of controlling shareholders and of shareholders who have a personal interest in the approval of the resolution, be voted "FOR" the proposed resolution, or (2) the total number of shares of non-controllingshareholders and of shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the resolution voted against approval of the resolution does not exceed two percent of the outstanding voting power in the Company. The terms "Controlling Shareholder" and "personal interest" are defined below under Proposal 5.
- How will my shares be voted if I do not provide instructions on the voting instruction form, proxy or Ballot (as applicable)?
-
If you are a beneficial owner of ordinary shares and return your Ballot but do not specify how you want to vote, your shares will be included in determining the presence of a quorum at the Meeting but will be deemed to have abstained from any vote on any matter to be considered at the Meeting. If you are a holder of ordinary shares and submit a proxy, your shares will be voted in the sole and absolute discretion of your representative.
If you are a holder of ADSs (whether directly or in "street name") and do not specify on your voting instruction form how you want to vote the shares underlying your ADSs or do not return your voting instruction form on or before the date established by Bank of New York Mellon for such purpose, Bank of New York Mellon will not vote or attempt to vote the shares represented by your ADSs.
HOW TO FIND VOTING RESULTS
- Where do I find the voting results of the Annual General Meeting?
- We plan to announce preliminary voting results at the Meeting and to report the final voting results following the Meeting in a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6- K that we will furnish to the SEC.
SOLICITATION OF PROXIES
- Who will bear the costs of solicitation of proxies and voting instruction forms for the Annual General Meeting?
- The Company will bear the costs of solicitation of proxies and voting instruction forms for the Meeting. In addition to solicitation by mail, directors, officers and employees of the Company may solicit proxies and voting instruction forms from shareholders by telephone, personal interview or otherwise. Such directors, officers and employees will not receive additional compensation, but may be reimbursed for reasonable out-of- pocket expenses in connection with such solicitation. Brokers, nominees, fiduciaries and other custodians have been requested to forward soliciting material to the beneficial
4
owners of ordinary shares held of record by them, and such custodians will be reimbursed by the Company for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. The Company may also retain an independent advisor to assist in the solicitation of proxies. If retained for such services, the costs will be paid by the Company.
AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS
Copies of the Notice of the Annual General Meeting, this Proxy Statement, the voting instruction form and the Ballot are available at the "Investors" portion of our website at https://www.shl-telemedicine.com/general-meeting/. The contents of that website are not a part of this Proxy Statement.
