Key Terms

fiduciary duties, conflicts of interest, governance, forward-looking statements
4 terms
fiduciary duties regulatory
"DOMA explicitly rejects the current terms and urges the Board to uplhold its fiduciary duties"
Fiduciary duties are the legal and ethical responsibilities that company directors, officers, or financial advisors have to put shareholders’ interests ahead of their own, acting with honesty, care, and loyalty. Think of it like a guardian managing someone’s money: choices must prioritize the owner’s benefit, avoid conflicts, and be made with prudent judgment; investors rely on these duties to ensure decisions aren’t self‑serving and to provide grounds for legal action if abused.
conflicts of interest regulatory
"raise serious concerns about conflicts of interest, governance, the Board's fiduciary responsibilities"
A conflict of interest occurs when a person or organization has competing loyalties or financial motives that could compromise impartial decisions—like a referee who also coaches one team. For investors, conflicts matter because they can lead to biased advice, self-dealing, or decisions that prioritize insiders over shareholders, increasing the risk that reported results, disclosures, or strategic choices are not in investors’ best financial interests.
governance regulatory
"raise serious concerns about conflicts of interest, governance, the Board's fiduciary responsibilities"
Governance refers to the systems and processes that determine how an organization is directed and controlled. It involves making decisions, establishing rules, and overseeing activities to ensure the organization operates fairly, transparently, and in the best interests of its stakeholders. Good governance helps build trust and stability, which are important for investors because they indicate responsible management and reduce risks.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"Certain statements in this letter may constitute forward-looking statements."
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

DOMA ASSERTS THAT THE $16.20 PER SHARE OFFER MATERIALLY UNDERVALUES INMODE AND ITS LONG-TERM POTENTIAL

DOMA BELIEVES THE BID EXPLOITS THE DEPRESSED VALUATIONS CREATED BY YEARS OF CEO-LED UNDERPERFORMANCE

DOMA EXPLICITLY REJECTS THE CURRENT TERMS AND URGES THE BOARD TO UPLHOLD ITS FIDUCIARY DUTIES

MIAMI, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DOMA Perpetual Capital Management LLC, a significant stockholder of InMode Ltd. (NYSE: INMD) ("InMode"), today sent a letter to the Board of Directors of InMode (the "Board").

The letter can be downloaded here

The full text of the letter follows:

June 26, 2026

To the Board Member of InMode:

As of the date of this letter, DOMA Perpetual Capital Management LLC ("DOMA") and its affiliates beneficially own approximately 4.63% of the outstanding ordinary shares of InMode Ltd. ("InMode" or the "Company").

We are writing as a concerned shareholder regarding the recently proposed acquisition of the Company led by the Chief Executive Officer in partnership with a group of investors. The circumstances surrounding this proposal raise serious concerns about conflicts of interest, governance, the Board's fiduciary responsibilities, and the fairness of the proposed transaction.

We believe the proposal materially undervalues the Company, particularly in light of its long-term potential and intrinsic assets. It is difficult to ignore that this proposal also follows a long period of operational underperformance under the current CEO's leadership. We have previously asked the Board, in a public communication dated May 9, 2025, to replace the CEO precisely because of his sustained underperformance, and that same CEO now appears positioned to benefit from the proposed transaction.1 In our view, these circumstances warrant close scrutiny, and DOMA reserves all of its rights in connection with the proposed transaction.

We strongly believe the proposal would allow management to capitalize on a depressed valuation that developed during its own stewardship and that, in our view, management's performance helped create. Such dynamics are deeply troubling from a governance perspective.

The Board has fiduciary obligations to act in the best interests of all shareholders, not management or any specific investor group. In this context, we urge the Board to take the following actions:

  • Establish a fully independent special committee with no ties to management to evaluate the proposal.
  • Retain international independent financial and legal advisors to conduct a rigorous valuation and fairness assessment.
  • Conduct a broad and transparent market check inviting public offers to determine whether superior offers exist.
  • Ensure that shareholders are provided with full and fair disclosure regarding the process, assumptions, and any potential conflicts of interest.

Any transaction that allows insiders to acquire the Company at a price influenced by their own stewardship must be subject to the highest level of scrutiny. Failure to do so could expose the Company and the Board to significant shareholder value destruction, as well as reputational and legal risk.

Shareholders rely on the Board to uphold strong governance standards and to protect against precisely this type of conflicted transaction. I trust that you will take these responsibilities seriously and act accordingly.

At the current offer of $16.20/share DOMA does not support the proposal and intends to vote against the transaction.

Sincerely,

Pedro Escudero
CEO & CIO
DOMA Perpetual Capital Management LLC
