Arbe Robotics (NASDAQ: ARBE) seeks reverse share split to address Nasdaq bid deficiency
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Arbe Robotics Ltd. called a virtual annual general meeting on September 2, 2026 to vote on board elections, executive and director compensation, an amended compensation policy, auditor re-appointment and a potential reverse share split. Shareholders of record on August 3, 2026, when 127,404,060 Ordinary Shares were outstanding, are entitled to one vote per share.
Proposals include re-electing two Class II directors, approving new compensation packages for the CEO and President, special equity awards and a new bonus plan for the CEO and CTO, equity awards for non-executive directors, and an amended compensation policy that tightens termination payments and adjusts bonus and board fee limits. Shareholders are also asked to ratify the re-appointment of Somekh Chaikin (KPMG member firm) as independent auditor for 2026.
The board seeks authority to implement a reverse share split, at a ratio it will later set so the post-split share price is approximately $3.00, following a Nasdaq notice on April 13, 2026 that Arbe’s shares had traded below the $1.00 minimum bid for 30 consecutive business days. The split is intended to support continued Nasdaq listing and broaden potential investor interest.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Nasdaq minimum bid deficiency: Arbe received a notice on April 13, 2026 that its share price was below the $1.00 minimum bid for 30 consecutive business days, triggering a 180-day compliance period to regain listing compliance.
Filing Explained

A reverse split combines shares and proportionally raises the per-share price while reducing the share count; it does not change a holder’s relative ownership percentage, apart from fractional-share rounding.

The proposed awards would create separate potential share issuance: 1,125,000 restricted shares for the CEO, 100,000 restricted shares for the President, 185,000 restricted shares for the CTO, and options for 120,000 shares each for three non-executive directors. If issued or exercised, these awards could increase the share count and reduce existing holders’ percentage ownership.
The amended compensation policy would reduce the maximum aggregate non-statutory termination payment from 24 months of base salary to six months, while increasing the maximum annual cash payment for non-chair directors from

By E-mail — If you are a shareholder of record, you can submit a proxy by completing, dating, signing and e-mailing your proxy card to proxy@continentalstock.com. We reserve the right to require additional identifying information if you submit your proxy card directly to our Company in that manner.

Table of Contents
The proxy statement, our form of proxy card and our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 FILED WITH THE SEC ON MARCH 27, 2026 are available on the internet on our website at https://ir.arberobotics.com/company-information/proxy-materials on our transfer agent’s website at https://www.cstproxy.com/arberobotics/2026 or at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
Which Shareholders Are Entitled to Vote?
Only holders of record of Ordinary Shares at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. The Company had 127,404,060 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of the Record Date, each of which is entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted on at the Meeting. The presence, virtually or by proxy, of at least two shareholders holding at least twenty five percent (25%) of the voting rights, will constitute a quorum at the Meeting.
In determining whether there is a quorum for the Meeting and whether the required number of votes for the approval of any given proposal has been cast, ordinary shares subject to abstentions or to broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum for the Meeting but, with regard to the applicable proposal, are not counted as having been voted in respect thereof. Broker non-votes are votes that brokers holding Ordinary Shares of record for their clients are, pursuant to applicable stock exchange or other rules, precluded from casting without receipt of voting instructions from beneficial owner (other than with respect to certain routine proposals). The only matter being presented at the Meeting on which brokers may vote without instructions from the beneficial owners is the approval of the auditors. With respect to all other matters, unless a shareholder whose shares are held in street name instructs the broker or bank as to how the shares should be voted, the brokerage firm or bank will not vote the shares.
If a quorum is not present within half an hour of the time designated for the Meeting, the Meeting will be adjourned to Wednesday, September 9, 2026, at the same time and place. At the adjourned Meeting, any number of shareholders who are present in person or by proxy, or who have delivered a proxy card, will constitute a quorum.
What are the Votes Required for the Resolutions?
The affirmative vote of a majority of the Ordinary Shares of the Company represented and voting thereon at the Meeting is necessary for the approval of all proposals on the agenda, provided however, that with respect to the approval of: (i) Proposal 2 with respect to the compensation terms of our CEO; (ii) Proposal 3(c) with respect to the one time bonus plan each of Mr. Ram Machness, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Dr. Noam Arkind, the Company’s Chief Technology Officer and a member of the Board; and (iii) Proposal 5 with respect to the approval of the Company’s amended Compensation Policy; that majority includes at least: (i) a majority of the votes cast by shareholders who are not Controlling Shareholders (as defined below) of the Company and do not have a Personal Interest (as defined below) in approving the proposal, who are present and voting (abstentions are disregarded); or (ii) the total number of votes cast held by the shareholders who are not Controlling Shareholders of the Company and do not have a Personal Interest in approving the proposal that are voted against the proposal constitute two percent (2%) or less than of the total voting rights in the Company (the “Compensation Majority”). As of the date of this proxy statement, the Company is not aware of any shareholder who meets the definition of Controlling Shareholder under the Israel Companies Law.
When voting, Israeli law requires that each shareholder voting on Proposals 2, 3(c) and/or 5 indicate if such shareholder is a Controlling Shareholder and to indicate in the appropriate place in the proxy if such shareholder has a Personal Interest in the proposed resolution. If any shareholder casting a vote in connection hereto does not explicitly indicate on the proxy card the foregoing, then the shareholder’s vote on the applicable item will be counted. To avoid confusion and pursuant to relief regulations issued under the Israeli Companies Law and governing voting matters, unless indicated otherwise, we assume that every shareholder voting by means of the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form, or via telephone or internet voting, will be deemed to confirm that such shareholder is NOT a Controlling Shareholder and does NOT have a Personal Interest in the proposed resolution (as those definitions defined below). If you are a Controlling Shareholder or have a Personal Interest in the proposed resolutions under Proposals 2, 3(c) or 5, please notify Adv. Maya Bar-On, the Company’s Secretary and General Counsel, at maya.bo@arberobotics.com.
For these purposes, under the Israeli Companies Law a “Controlling Shareholder” is generally any shareholder that has the ability to direct the Company’s activities (other than by means of being a director or office holder of the Company). A person, which includes a legal entity, is presumed to be a Controlling Shareholder if he/she or it holds

Table of Contents
(i) 50% or more of the right to vote at a general meeting of the Company, or (ii) 50% or more of the right to appoint directors or its chief executive officer. For certain purposes, including with respect to the approval of certain related party transactions, a shareholder holding 25% or more of the voting rights of a company would also be deemed a ‘controlling shareholder’ provided that, there is no other person who holds more than 50% of the voting rights of such company.
Under the Israeli Companies Law, the term “Personal Interest” includes a shareholder’s personal interest in the approval of an action or a transaction of a company, not including any interest arising solely from holding the company’s shares, but including (i) the personal interest of his/her immediate family, spouses, siblings, parents, grandparents, descendants, spouse’s descendants, siblings or parents or the spouse of any of such persons; and (ii) a personal interest of an entity in which a shareholder or any of his/her aforementioned relatives serves as a director or the chief executive officer, or owns five percent (5%) or more of its issued share capital or its voting rights or has the right to appoint a director or chief executive officer. In addition, under the Israeli Companies Law, in case of a person voting by proxy for another person, “personal interest” includes the personal interest of either the proxy holder or the shareholder granting the proxy, whether the proxy holder has discretion to vote or not.
As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Company is not aware of any Controlling Shareholders as such term is defined for purposes of the Israeli Companies Law; and (b) the Company believes that only a few of its shareholders may have Personal Interest with regard to Proposal 1 and it is aware of those shareholders in advance.
What are Requirements for Shareholder Proposals?
Any shareholder of the Company who intends to present a proposal at the Meeting must satisfy the requirements of the Israeli Companies Law and our Articles. Under the Israeli Companies Law, any shareholder who holds at least 1% of the Company’s outstanding voting rights is entitled to request that the Board includes a proposal to be voted on by the Company’s shareholders, at a future shareholder meeting, provided that such proposal is appropriate for consideration by shareholders at the Meeting. Pursuant to relief regulations issued under the Israeli Companies Law and governing voting matters of Israeli Nasdaq listed companies such as the Company, a proposal related to election or removal of a director from the Board is entitled only to shareholder who holds at least five percent (5%) of the Company’s outstanding voting rights.
Such shareholders may present proposals for consideration at the Meeting by submitting their proposals in writing to Maya Bar-On, the Company’s Secretary and VP Legal, at maya.bo@arberobotics.com. For a shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in the Meeting, our Secretary and VP Legal must receive the written proposal no later than seven days following the publication of the Notice for this meeting, i.e., August 8, 2026.

PROPOSAL 2
APPROVAL OF CEO COMPENSATION
(Item 2 on the proxy card)
Background
Under the Israeli Companies Law, terms of office and employment of office holders, are generally subject to the approval of the compensation committee and the board of directors and must generally be consistent with the Company’s compensation policy. In the case of directors or the Chief Executive Officer, the shareholders’ approval is also required.
CEO Compensation
Mr. Machness has served as our Chief Business Officer since April 30, 2018. As our Chief Business Officer, Mr. Machness led the product management, customer support, sales and business development. Mr. Machness has more than 30 years of experience in embedded systems and the semiconductor and automotive industries. Prior to joining us from 2007 to 2018, Mr. Machness managed the business development, customer engagement and product marketing at Texas Instruments (Nasdaq: TXN), a global American-based technology company that designs and manufactures semiconductors. From 2003-2007, Mr. Machness served in various consulting positions in companies such DSP Group (Nasdaq: DSPG), a global leader in wireless communications and voice processing chipsets and algorithms for a wide range of smart-enabled devices, and Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT), a multinational technology corporation. His professional experience also includes roles in system engineering and R&D management. Mr. Machness holds a B.A in Computer Science from The Open University and an MBA from Tel Aviv University.
On February 25, 2026, the Board approved the appointment of Mr. Ram Machness as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective April 1, 2026.
The Compensation Committee previously reviewed and approved Mr. Machness’ proposed compensation package, subject to his appointment as Chief Executive Officer and the required corporate approvals. The Board then reviewed the proposed terms and approved them, subject to shareholder approval.
The proposed compensation package includes: (i) a base monthly salary of NIS 80,000 (approximately $22,463) which is the same as the monthly salary of the prior Chief Executive Officer, together with accompanying benefits under Company policy applicable to Israeli executive officers; (ii) an equity-based award of 1,125,000 restricted shares, with a three-year vesting schedule; (iii) a Bonus Plan enabling Mr. Machness to earn up to four times his base salary upon the achievement of defined criteria set by the Board/Compensation Committee each year; (iv) relocation expenses under Company policy; and (v) an employer loan program intended to cover U.S. tax payments due upon each restricted stock unit (“RSU”) vesting event, which may be extended on each vesting date at the request of the Chief Executive Officer, on a non-recourse basis, secured by the granted RSUs and repayable solely from proceeds of RSU sales.
While most elements of the proposed package are consistent with the Company’s Compensation Policy, the employer loan program is outside of the Compensation Policy and will therefore is being brought for shareholder approval together with the Board’s reasoning in support thereof.
The table below sets forth the compensation paid for the year ended December 31, 2025 to our then chief executive officer, our chief technology officer and Mr. Machness’ compensation as chief business officer:(1)

PROPOSAL 3
APPROVAL OF EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S COMPENSATION TERMS
(Item 3 on the proxy card)
Background
Under the Israeli Companies Law, the terms of office and employment of office holders are generally subject to the approval of the compensation committee and the board of directors, and must generally be consistent with the Company’s compensation policy. In the case of directors, shareholder approval is also required. Under the Israeli Companies Law, compensation terms for a Chief Executive Officer and for directors require approval by the compensation committee, the board of directors and the shareholders. For the chief executive officer, the shareholders’ approval must include a Compensation Majority.
1. President’s Proposed Terms
In light of his stepping down from the Chief Executive Officer position, on February 25, 2026, the Board approved the appointment of Mr. Kobi Marenko as President of the Company, effective as of April 1, 2026. Mr. Marenko will continue to serve as a member of the Board.
The title of President is new to the Company. The Board has determined that in his capacity as President, Mr. Marenko will be responsible for maintaining investor relations, identifying and pursuing financing opportunities, and identifying and evaluating new business opportunities, including through market analysis and presenting recommendations to the Chief Executive Officer and to the Board, with strategic decisions to be brought to the Board for approval.
The proposed compensation terms are intended to maintain Mr. Marenko’s current base salary of a monthly NIS 80,000 (approximately $22,463) and benefits, with no entitlement to bonuses. In addition, subject to shareholder approval, Mr. Marenko was granted a special one-time grant of 100,000 restricted shares, which vest on April 1, 2027, pursuant to the Board’s approval on April 22, 2026. The Board further approved, subject to shareholder approval, the continued vesting schedule of Mr. Marenko’s outstanding equity awards granted to him in his capacity as Chief Executive Officer.
2. Equity-Based Award to Dr. Noam Arkind
Dr. Noam Arkind, the Company’s Chief Technology Officer and a member of the Board, was granted, subject to shareholder approval, a special one-time equity-based award of 185,000 restricted shares, which award to vest on April 1, 2027, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreement and the Company’s equity incentive plan, pursuant to the Board’s approval on April 22, 2026.
3. Approval of an Annual Cash Bonus plan
The Company’s existing Compensation Policy provides a framework for annual cash bonuses for its Executive Officers and Directors. The previous annual cash bonus plan, which specifically applied to the chief executive officer and chief technology officer, covered calendar years 2023 through 2025.
The Company’s Compensation Committee and Board have approved a new annual cash bonus plan, consistent with the Company’s Compensation Policy and based on performance-based measurable criteria for each of the years ending on December 31, 2026, 2027 and 2028, for our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer (the “Bonus Plan”).
This Bonus Plan will apply to Mr. Ram Machness as of his appointment as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (as further described in Proposal 2) and to Dr. Noam Arkind, the Company’s Chief Technology Officer, who also serves as a member of the Company’s Board. The proposed Bonus Plan is intended to incentivize these officers by closely aligning their personal economic interest with our Company’s performance and share price appreciation.
When discussing the proposed remuneration, the Compensation Committee and the Board considered numerous factors, including the human resources needs of the Company, its strategic goals, seniority level, the consistency of the proposed compensation with the Company’s Compensation Policy’s principles and limitations, the skills, background and qualifications of both Mr. Machness and Dr. Arkind, and their overall compensation terms.
11
Table of Contents
The Company’s Compensation Committee and Board believe that it is in the best interest of our shareholders and the Company to approve the proposed Bonus Plan for each of these officers which links their compensation to long-term shareholder value through a combination of growth and profitability and closely aligning their compensation to industry practices, and considered in their decisions the factors enumerated in the Company’s Compensation Policy and determined that the proposed Bonus Plan for each of the officers are consistent therewith.
In order to properly evaluate the CEO’s and CTO’s success in reaching Company goals, the Company will set performance targets for each calendar year from 2026 to and including 2028. The performance targets will be comprised of approximately 70% of measurable criteria and approximately 30% of non-measurable criteria, as determined by the Compensation Committee and the Board during the first quarter of the year per each of the CEO and the CTO, pursuant to the following weights and criteria:
|
Performance Target – Components |
Component |
||
|
Company operating performance measures – comprised of at least two measurable parameters as follows: revenues, Adjusted EBIDA, operating profits, net profits, % OPEX of revenues |
35 |
% |
|
|
Company strategic goals – comprised of at least two measurable parameters as follows: product design, business development, R&D, customers’ related objectives |
35 |
% |
|
|
A discretionary evaluation of the overall performance during the past year |
30 |
% |
|
The target bonus in the event of 100% achievement of the target goals is three months’ salary, while for overachievement performance of 120% and above, the officer may be eligible for an additional month’s salary, totaling four months’ salary. The Compensation Committee determined whether and the extent to which performance measures are met.
The eligibility for cash bonuses under the Bonus Plan shall be subject to the following thresholds (which will be specifically determined by the Compensation Committee with respect to each annual operating plan):
|
Less than 70% achievement |
No bonus |
|||
|
70% to 100% achievement |
Linear between one to three months’ salary |
|||
|
120% and above |
Additional one month’s salary (i.e. four months’ salary) |
The Compensation Committee and the Board are authorized to determine each year the performance target and the extent to which the achievement level of the pre-defined goals were met (without further approval by shareholders) based on the actual performance of the CEO and the CTO, respectively.
In special circumstances (e.g., regulatory changes, significant changes in the business environment, a significant organizational change, merger and acquisition events, or other similar events etc.), the Compensation Committee and the Board may make adjustments to the objectives, and in such special circumstances, to modify the objectives and/or their relative weights or the amount of bonus payouts (including decreasing such amounts to zero), in connection with the applicable bonus period.

It is proposed by the Board that the following resolutions be adopted at the Meeting:
(a) RESOLVED, to approve the appointment of Mr. Kobi Marenko as President of the Company, effective April 1, 2026, and the terms of his office and employment as President, including continuation of his current base salary and including a special one-time equity-based award for Mr. Kobi Marenko, a member of the Board of Directors and President of the Company, with an April 1, 2027 vesting date, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreement and the Company’s equity incentive plan.

PROPOSAL 4
APPROVAL OF NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS’ COMPENSATION
(Item 4 on the proxy card)
Background
Under the Israeli Companies Law, the compensation of directors is generally subject to the approval of the company’s compensation committee, board of directors and shareholders, in that order, and must generally be consistent with the directors and officers compensation policy, as approved by the Company’s shareholders (the “Compensation Policy”).
Currently, the Company’s non-executive directors receive an annual fee in the range of $30,000 to $50,000 plus applicable value added tax as remuneration for their service on the Board, while chairmanship at Board committees allows for additional remuneration of $50,000. Each of the Company’s non-executive directors also currently hold options to purchase approximately between 40,000 to 120,000 Company shares, at an exercise price between $1.3 to $8.
As part of the Company’s policy, which aims to align the interests of directors with the Company’s goals by setting incentive-based compensation, the Compensation Committee and the Board have recommended granting an equity-based award to non-executive directors, as further detailed below, in order to provide directors with proper compensation for the time they invest in leading the Company.
This Proposal 4 includes granting a one-time equity-based award of options to purchase Ordinary Shares of the Company to each non-executive director whose previous equity-based award has become fully vested. The options will vest over a period of three years from the date of grant on a quarterly basis, at an exercise price equal to the average share price in the preceding 30 trading days prior to the approval of this grant at the Annual General Meeting, designated as 102 capital gains track award (with trustee) for Israeli board members.
Each of the three non-executives who do not have a specific program — Prof. Yonina Eldar, Yair Shamir and E. Scott Crist — shall receive options to purchase 120,000 Ordinary Shares, vesting over a three-year period, with an expiry term of 10 years and an exercise price equal to the average share price in the 30 trading days preceding to the approval of this grant by the shareholders.
In determining the compensation terms of Non-Executive Directors, the Company’s Compensation Committee and the Board have considered many factors, including the Company’s Compensation Policy, the total compensation packages of the directors, benchmark data, and industry standards.
The Board believes that the compensation terms as set forth above are in the best interests of the Company and align with its shareholders’ interests.
Proposed Resolution
It is proposed by the Board that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:
RESOLVED, to approve the grant of an equity-based award to the Company’s Non-Executive Directors as detailed in the Proxy Statement.
Votes Required
The approval of the above resolution requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented and voting on this Proposal 4 at the Meeting in person or by proxy.
Board Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the foregoing resolution approving the grant of equity-based awards to the Company’s Non-Executive Directors and Industry Expert Directors.

PROPOSAL 5
APPROVAL OF THE AMENDED COMPENSATION POLICY
(Item 5 on the proxy card)
Background
As required under the Israel Companies Law, a public company must have a compensation policy approved by the board of directors after receiving and considering the recommendations of the compensation committee. In addition, a compensation policy must be approved at least once every three years by the board of directors, upon recommendation of its compensation committee, and thereafter, approval of the vote of shareholders by a Compensation Majority.
Our Compensation Policy for executive directors and officers became effective upon the completion of our initial listing at Nasdaq whereby our ordinary shares became publicly traded, and it will remain in effect for term of five years from that date. Therefore, at this Meeting, our revised Compensation Policy will be brought for shareholder review and approval.
The compensation policy is designed to promote retention and motivation of directors and executive officers, incentivize superior individual performance, align their interests with the Company’s long-term performance and shareholder value, and provide appropriate risk management. The policy addresses compensation components including base salary, annual and other cash bonuses, equity-based compensation, benefits, retirement and termination arrangements, and indemnification and insurance. It includes measures such as limits on the value of cash bonuses and equity-based compensation, limitations on the ratio between variable and total compensation, minimum vesting periods for equity awards, and a clawback mechanism.
Development of the Amended Compensation Policy
Our proposed amended compensation policy for Executive Officers and Directors (the “Compensation Policy”) is attached hereto as Exhibit A and is also available on the Company’s website.
As part of the process for developing the amended compensation policy, our Compensation Committee and Board carefully evaluated the proposed changes, have consulted with the Company’s external advisors and considered a variety of factors, including expected changes in the Company’s business, benchmark and market trends, and the need to retain talented personnel. Furthermore, our Compensation Committee and Board have also considered other developments within the Company and in industries in which the Company operates, since the approval of the previous form of Compensation Policy, and feedback from investors and proxy advisory firms.
After taking into consideration the factors and information described above, and in view of the Company’s experience implementing the previous Compensation Policy, the Compensation Committee and Board determined that it is desirable to retain the overall structure of the policy, with certain amendments, summarized as follows, the description of which is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Amended Compensation Policy itself, which is attached as Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement.
1. Immaterial Changes. The policy now provides a broader and more detailed definition of an “Immaterial Change,” which enable the Committee to make changes without requiring Board or shareholder approval, as may be relevant based on a cap of up to 10% of the overall annual compensation cost of the relevant Executive Officer (instead of a cap of approximately two monthly base salaries).
2. Annual and Special Bonus Flexibility. The annual bonus provisions have been updated to provide the Compensation Committee and the Board with greater flexibility in special circumstances, including regulatory changes, financing transactions and other unforeseen one-time events, to adjust bonus objectives, weightings and payouts.
3. Clawback. The clawback provisions have been expanded to clarify that they do not limit or replace the Company’s separate Clawback Policy adopted on December 1, 2023, which is incorporated into the Compensation Policy by reference.
4. Termination Payments. The maximum aggregate amount of non-statutory retirement and termination payments has been significantly reduced from 24 months base salaries to six months base salaries.

5. Board Compensation. The maximum annual cash payment for Board members other than the chairperson has been increased from US$100,000 to US$150,000. The policy also clarifies that the chairperson may receive an additional annual cash retainer of up to US$100,000 and permits Board members to receive certain benefits provided under the general benefits section, subject to the shareholder approval of such compensation.
If approved, the Compensation Policy will serve as the Company’s compensation policy (for purposes of the Companies Law) for its directors and executive officers until the Company’s third annual general meeting following the Meeting.

PROPOSAL 7
APPROVAL OF REVERSE SHARE SPLIT AND CORRESPONDING AMENDMENT OF THE COMPANY’S ARTICLES; BOARD AUTHORIZATION
(Item 7 on the proxy card)
Background
1. On April 13, 2026, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department notifying the Company that, based on the closing bid price of the Company’s ordinary shares for the prior 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer meets the Nasdaq continued listing requirement that the Company maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share of the ordinary shares. Nasdaq has provided the Company with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until October 12, 2026, to regain compliance with Nasdaq continued listing requirements. In the event that the Company does not regain compliance in the compliance period, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar days, should the Company meet the continued listing requirements for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirements, and is able to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. Although the Company believes that it will be able to meet the conditions for an additional 180-day compliance period, the Company can give no assurance that it be able to obtain the extension. If the Company is not able to obtain the extension and ordinary shares have not met the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement, it would be necessary for the Company to effect a reverse split of the ordinary shares so that the ordinary shares meet the $1.00 minimum bid price for ten consecutive trading days by October 12, 2026.
2. In addition, the Board believes that a reverse share split is advisable in order to make the Company’s Ordinary Shares more attractive to a wider range of investors and to improve the Company’s ability to maintain appropriate financing.
3. The Board adopted a proposal that the Company’s shareholders grant the Board the authority to adopt a reverse split of the Company’s ordinary shares in such ratio (the “Reverse Stock Ratio”), as the Board may deem necessary in order that, upon the effectiveness of the reverse split, the ordinary shares would trade at a price of approximately $3.00 per share. The Board felt that the reverse stock ratio should be such that the market price of the ordinary shares following the effectiveness of the reverse split would be substantially greater than $1.00 per ordinary share in view of the market experience that following a reverse split, the market price declines.
4. The Reverse Stock Ratio is the number of ordinary shares that will be combined into one ordinary share. Thus, for example, if the Reverse Stock Ratio is one-for-five, the number of shares each shareholder will hold after the reverse split with be one-fifth of the number of pre-reverse split share, the price of the ordinary shares would initially be five times the market price immediately prior to the effectiveness of the reverse split and the number of outstanding shares and authorized shares would be one-fifth of the number of ordinary shares immediately prior to the effectiveness of the reverse split. The par value per ordinary share will be five times the present par value, and the Company’s Restated and Amended articles of association will be amended to reflect the changes to the Company’s registered (authorized) share capital and par value per share as a result of the reverse split accordingly.
5. The Reverse Stock Ratio will be determined by the Board and in making such determination, the Board may consider factors relating to the trading history of the ordinary shares and the status of Company’s business and the results of its operations as reflected in its financial statements, including the factors described in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including its 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025 and its reports on Form 6-K. The Board expects to implement a ratio that would result in a market price for the Company’s ordinary Shares that is generally within the range considered attractive to institutional
18
Table of Contents
investors and sufficient for Nasdaq compliance. In determining whether to implement the Reverse Share Split following the receipt of shareholder approval, the Board may consider, among other things, factors such as:
(a) the historical trading price and trading volume of our ordinary shares;
(b) the then prevailing trading price and trading volume of our ordinary shares and the anticipated impact of the Reverse Share Split on the trading market for our Class A ordinary shares;
(c) the development of the Company’s business, including its order backlog and revenue stream and the status of its negotiations for the sale or its product;
(d) the status of the market for the Company’s chipset and competitive factors in the industry;
(e) The Company’s ability to have its ordinary shares remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market;
(f) the anticipated impact of the Reverse Share Split on the Company’s ability to raise additional financing;
(g) prevailing general market and economic conditions, and
(h) any other factors the Board deems relevant, including applicable Nasdaq requirements.
(i) The Board’s perception of Institutional investor preferences.
6. As a result of the reverse split:
(a) The price of the outstanding shares would be increased based on the Reverse Stock Ratio and the number of ordinary shares would be decreased by the Reverse Stock Ratio, For example, if the price of the ordinary shares prior to the reverse split is $0.64, assuming a one-for-five Reverse Stock Ratio, if a shareholder owns 100,000 ordinary shares before the reverse split, immediately upon the effectiveness of the reverse split, the shareholder would own, upon effectiveness of the reverse split, 20,000 ordinary shares at a presumed market price of $3.20. The market price of the ordinary shares immediately preceding and following the effectiveness of the reverse split are subject to market conditions.
(b) No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse split. In accordance with our Articles, all fractional shares will be rounded to the nearest whole ordinary share, such that only shareholders holding fractional shares of 0.5 shares or more shall be rounded up to the next higher number of whole shares and fractional shares less than 0.5 would be dropped.
(c) The exercise price of all outstanding options, grants, warrants and convertible securities (collectively, “convertible securities”) will be increased by the Reverse Stock Ratio and the number of ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible securities will be decreased by the Reverse Stock Ratio. Thus, based on a one-for-five Reverse Stock Ratio, an option or warrant to purchase 100,000 shares at $1.00 per share will become an option to purchase 20,000 shares of $5.00 per share.
(d) The number of ordinary shares subject to the Company’s long-term incentive plan will be reduced by the Reverse Stock Ratio.
7. The Board believes that it is appropriate and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders that the shareholders approve the reverse split, and that the reverse split will be structured to help support the continued listing of the Company’s Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq, which will enable the Company to maintain better access to the public capital markets while providing greater liquidity for the Company’s shareholders. The Reverse Share Split shall be set at within the above range as determined by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion. Our Board of Directors believes that the availability of flexibility in determining the Reverse Split Ratio as provided above will provide it with the flexibility to implement the Reverse Share Split in a manner designed to maximize the anticipated benefits for the Company and its shareholders.
19
Table of Contents
8. Following such determination by the Board, the Company will issue a press release announcing the effective date and the ratio of the Reverse Split.
9. The Reverse Split will affect all the Company’s shareholders uniformly and will not affect any shareholder’s relative percentage ownership interests in the Company, relative voting rights or other rights subject to the settlement of fractional shares, as described above. Ordinary shares resulting from the reverse split will remain fully paid and non-assessable.
10. Upon the implementation of the Reverse Split, the Company intends to treat shares held by shareholders through a bank, broker, custodian, or other nominee in the same manner as registered shareholders whose shares are registered in their names. Banks, brokers, custodians, or other nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Split for their beneficial holders that hold the Company’s Ordinary Shares in street name. However, such banks, brokers, custodians, or other nominees may have procedures that differ from those of registered shareholders for processing the Reverse Split. Shareholders who hold the Company’s Ordinary Shares with a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee and who have any questions in this regard are encouraged to contact their banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees.
11. The trading symbol for the ordinary shares, ARBE, on both Nasdaq and the TASE will not be changed. However, the shares issuable upon the reverse split will have aa new CUSIP.
Proposed Resolution
It is proposed by the Board that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:
RESOLVED to approve a reverse split of the ordinary shares of the Company, at a ratio to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion, so that, immediately upon its effectiveness, the ordinary shares would trade at a price of approximately $3.00 per share; to approve the corresponding amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Association to reflect the change in the Company’s registered (authorized) share capital and the par value of the Ordinary Shares resulting from the reverse split; and to authorize the Board to implement the reverse split and determine the exact ratio within such range at such time as the Board deems appropriate, no later than the annual general meeting of shareholders of 2027, as described in the Proxy Statement.
Votes Required
The approval of this resolution requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented and voting on this Proposal 7 at the Meeting in person or by proxy.
Board Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the foregoing resolution approving the potential reverse split of the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares.

ARBE ROBOTICS LTD.
Compensation Policy for Executive Officers and Directors
(amended on September __, 2026)
A. OVERVIEW AND OBJECTIVES
1. GENERAL
This document sets forth the compensation policy for Executive Officers and Directors (this “Compensation Policy” or “Policy”) of Arbe Robotics Ltd. (“Arbe” or the “Company”), in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the “Companies Law”).
Compensation is a key component of Arbe’s overall human capital strategy to attract, retain, reward, and motivate highly skilled individuals that will enhance Arbe’s value and otherwise assist Arbe to reach its business and financial long-term goals. Accordingly, the structure of this Policy is established to tie the compensation of officers and directors to Arbe’s goals and performance.
For purposes of this Policy, “Executive Officers” shall mean “Office Holders” as such term is defined in Section 1 of the Companies Law, including any chief executive officer, general manager, president or vice president, excluding, unless otherwise expressly indicated herein, members of the Board of Directors of Arbe who are not officers(the “Board”).
This policy is subject to applicable law and is not intended and should not be interpreted as limiting or derogating from, provisions of applicable law to the extent not permitted by such law.
This Policy shall apply to compensation agreements and arrangements approved after the date on which this Policy is adopted and shall serve as Arbe’s Compensation Policy for three (3) years commencing as of the date of approval of the Policy by Arbe;s shareholders, unless amended earlier. The Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) shall review and reassess the adequacy of this Policy from time to time, as required by the Companies Law.
This Policy is designed solely for the benefit of Arbe and none of the provisions thereof are intended to provide any rights or remedies to any person other than Arbe.
2. OBJECTIVES
Arbe’s objectives and goals in setting this Policy are to attract, motivate and retain highly experienced leaders who will contribute to Arbe’s success and enhance shareholder value, while demonstrating professionalism in a highly achievement-oriented culture that is based on merit and rewards excellent performance in the long term, and embedding Arbe’s core values as part of a motivated behaviour. To that end, this Policy is designed, among others:
2.1. To closely align the interests of the Executive Officers with those of Arbe’s shareholders in order to enhance shareholder value;
2.2. To align a significant portion of the Executive Officers’ compensation with Arbe’s short and long-term goals and performance;
2.3. To provide the Executive Officers with a structured compensation package, including competitive salaries, performance-motivating cash and equity incentive programs and benefits, and to be able to present to each Executive Officer an opportunity to advance in a growing organization;
2.4. To strengthen the retention and the motivation of Executive Officers in the long term;
2.5. To provide appropriate awards in order to incentivize superior individual excellency and corporate performance; and
23
Table of Contents
2.6. To maintain consistency among Executive Officers in the way Executive Officers are compensated.
3. COMPENSATION INSTRUMENTS
Compensation instruments under this Policy may include the following:
3.1. Base Salary;
3.2. Benefits;
3.3. Cash Bonuses;
3.4. Equity Based Compensation;
3.5. Change of Control Terms; and
3.6. Retirement and Termination Terms.
4. OVERALL COMPENSATION — RATIO BETWEEN FIXED AND VARIABLE COMPENSATION
4.1. This Policy aims to balance the mix of “Fixed Compensation” (comprised of base salary and benefits) and “Variable Compensation” (comprised of cash bonuses and equity-based compensation) in order to, among other things, appropriately incentivize Executive Officers to meet Arbe’s short and long-term goals while taking into consideration the Company’s need to manage a variety of business risks.
4.2. The value of the total annual bonus and equity-based compensation of each Executive Officer shall not exceed 85% of the value of the total compensation package of such Executive Officer on an annual basis, as determined based on the accounting principles used by the Arbe for its financial statements or such other method as determined by the Compensation Committee or the Board
5. INTER-COMPANY COMPENSATION RATIO
5.1. In the process of drafting and updating this Policy, Arbe’s Board and Compensation Committee have examined the ratio between employer cost associated with the engagement of the Executive Officers and directors, and the average and median employer cost associated with the engagement of Arbe’s other employees (including contractor employees as defined in the Companies Law) (the “Ratio”).
5.2. The possible ramifications of the Ratio on the daily working environment in Arbe were examined and will continue to be examined by the Compensation Committee and the Board from time to time in order to ensure that levels of executive compensation, as compared to the overall workforce will not have a negative impact on work relations in Arbe.
B. BASE SALARY AND BENEFITS
6. BASE SALARY
6.1. A base salary provides stable compensation to Executive Officers and allows Arbe to attract and retain competent executive talent and maintain a stable management team. The base salary varies among Executive Officers, and is individually determined according to the educational background, prior vocational experience, qualifications, role at the company, business responsibilities and the past performance of each Executive Officer.
6.2. Since a competitive base salary is essential to Arbe’s ability to attract and retain highly skilled professionals, Arbe shall seek to establish a base salary that is competitive with the base salaries paid to Executive Officers in similar companies operating in the same technology sectors, with similar characteristics to Arbe, while considering, among others, such companies’ size and characteristics including (but not limited to) their revenues, profitability rate, number of employees, and operating arena (in Israel or globally), the list of which shall be reviewed and approved by the Compensation
24
Table of Contents
Committee at least every two (2) years. To that end, Arbe shall utilize as a reference, comparative market data and practices, which will include a compensation survey that compares and analyses the level of the overall compensation packages offered to an Executive Officers of the Company with compensation packages in similar positions to that of the relevant officer in such companies. Such compensation survey may be conducted internally or through an external independent consultant. Information on such compensation survey may be included in the proxy statement published in connection with the annual general meeting of Arbe’s shareholders.
6.3. The Compensation Committee and the Board may periodically consider and approve base salary adjustments for Executive Officers. The main considerations for base salary adjustments are similar to those used in initially determining the base salary, but may also include change of role or responsibilities, recognition for professional achievements, regulatory or contractual requirements, budgetary constraints or market trends. The Compensation Committee and the Board will also consider the previous and existing compensation arrangements of the Executive Officer whose base salary is being considered for adjustment.
7. BENEFITS
7.1. The following benefits may be granted to the Executive Officers in order, among other things, to comply with legal requirements:
1.1. Vacation days in accordance with market practice;
1.2. Sick days in accordance with market practice;
1.3. Convalescence pay according to applicable law;
1.4. Monthly remuneration for a study fund, as allowed by applicable law and in accordance with Arbe’s practice and in reference to the practice in similar companies;
1.5. Arbe shall contribute on behalf of the Executive Officer to an insurance policy, a pension fund or retirement fund, as allowed or required by applicable law and with reference to Arbe’s policies and procedures and the practice in similar companies; and
1.6. Arbe shall contribute on behalf of the Executive Officer towards work disability insurance, as allowed or required by applicable law and with reference to Arbe’s policies and procedures and to the practice in similar companies.
7.2. Non-Israeli Executive Officers may receive other similar, comparable, or customary benefits as applicable in the relevant jurisdiction in which they are employed. Such customary benefits shall be determined based on the methods described in Section 6.2 of this Policy (with the necessary changes and adjustments).
7.3. In the event of relocation or repatriation of an Executive Officer to another geography, such Executive Officer may receive other similar, comparable, or customary benefits as applicable in the relevant jurisdiction in which he or she is employed or additional payments to reflect adjustments in cost of living. Such benefits shall include reimbursement for out of pocket one-time payments and other ongoing expenses, such as housing allowance, car allowance, and home leave visit, etc.
7.4. Arbe may offer additional benefits to its Executive Officers (and directors) to the extent such benefits are reasonable and necessary or comparable to customary market practices, such as, but not limited to: cellular and land line phone benefits, company car and travel benefits, reimbursement of business travel including a daily stipend when traveling and other business related expenses, insurances, meals, relocation or repatriation, or other benefits to the extent provided to other employees (such as newspaper subscriptions, academic and professional studies) under a Company’s general policy.

C. CASH BONUSES
8. ANNUAL CASH BONUSES
8.1. Compensation in the form of an annual or other periodic cash bonus is an important element in aligning the Executive Officers’ compensation with Arbe’s objectives and business goals. Therefore, Arbe’s compensation philosophy reflects a pay-for-performance element, in which bonus pay-out eligibility and levels are determined based on actual financial and or operational results, as well as individual performance.
8.2. A cash bonus may be awarded to an Executive Officer upon the attainment of pre-set periodic objectives and individual targets determined by the Compensation Committee (and, if required by law, by the Board) (i) at the beginning of each calendar or fiscal year or bonus period, (ii) upon engagement, in the case of a newly hired Executive Officer, or (iii) upon the establishment of a new bonus program, taking into account Arbe’s short and long-term goals, as well as its compliance and risk management policies.
8.3. The Compensation Committee and the Board shall also determine applicable minimum thresholds that must be met for entitlement to a cash bonus (all or any portion thereof) and the formula for calculating any such cash bonus entitlement, with respect to each calendar year, for each Executive Officer.
8.4. In special circumstances, as determined by the Compensation Committee and the Board (e.g., regulatory changes, significant changes in Arbe’s business environment, a significant organizational change, significant merger and acquisition events, financing transaction, or other similar events), including a one-time event that was not anticipated at the time the objectives were determined, the Compensation Committee and the Board may modify the objectives and/or their relative weights and may also make appropriate adjustments in calculating the bonus pay-outs (including decreasing such amounts to zero) during the applicable bonus period, including based on discretionary basis only.
8.5. In the event the employment of an Executive Officer is terminated prior to the end of a bonus period, the Company may (but shall not be obligated to) pay such Executive Officer the full cash bonus for the applicable period (based on achievement of the bonus targets during such period) or a prorated one, or no bonus at all. Such bonus, if paid, will become due on the same scheduled date for cash bonus payments by the Company.
8.6. The actual cash bonus to be awarded to Executive Officers shall be approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board.
8.7. The Compensation Committee is authorized, under certain circumstance whereby it is justified in light of the Company’s financial condition, to determine that the annual cash bonus payout may be provided to an eligible person through the combination of cash and equity-based compensation, subject to the thresholds of variables and equity awards as provided hereunder.
8.8. The Compensation Committee and Board ant the Board will determine if it is in the best interest of the Company’s shareholders and the Company to approve a proposed bonus plan to each officer’s compensation terms, thus appropriately linking their compensation to delivering long-term shareholder value through a combination of growth and profitability and closely aligning their compensation to industry practices, and considered in their decisions the factors enumerated in this Compensation Policy and determined that the proposed bonus plan for each of the officers is consistent therewith.
8.9. The performance objectives and the weight to be assigned to each achievement in the overall evaluation, will be based on overall company performance measures, which may be based on actual financial and operational results, such as (but not limited to) revenues, operating income and cash flow and may further include, divisional or personal objectives which may include operational
26
Table of Contents
objectives, such as (but not limited to) market share, initiation of new markets and operational efficiency, customer focused objectives, project milestones objectives and investment in human capital objectives, such as employee satisfaction, employee retention and employee training and leadership programs.
8.10. The performance objectives will be determined and approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board, following the recommendation of the chairperson of the Board with respect to the chief executive officer (the “CEO”), and the recommendation of the CEO with respect to all other Executive Officers, at the commencement of each calendar year (or upon engagement, in case of newly hired Executive Officers or in special circumstances as determined by the Compensation Committee and the Board) on the basis of, but not limited to, Company division and individual objectives.
8.11. These performance measurable objectives, which include the objectives and the weight to be assigned to each achievement in the overall evaluation, will be categorized as described below:
8.12. Between 70% – 100% will be based on goals set forth in the Company’s annual operating plan and long-term plan, such as achieving business, financial and/or technological objectives and design wins and achieving strategic technology objectives.
8.13. A smaller portion, not to exceed 30% of the total amount of the annual cash bonus may be based on a discretionary evaluation. Such evaluation shall be based on the evaluation of the relevant Executive Officer’s individual performance, subject only to the approval of the Compensation Committee and of the Board, following the recommendation of the chairperson of the Board with respect to the CEO and following the recommendation of the CEO with respect to all other Executive Officers, based on quantitative and qualitative criteria.
8.14. The maximum annual cash bonus that an Executive Officer, including the CEO, will be entitled to receive for any given calendar year, will not exceed 100% of such Executive Officer’s annual base salary, and for overachievement performance, will not exceed 67% of such Executive Officer’s annual base salary.
8.15. It is hereby clarified that the Company may determine that, with respect to any specific year, all or any particular officers shall not be entitled to an annual cash bonus.
9. OTHER BONUSES
9.1. Special Bonus. Arbe may grant its Executive Officers a special or ad hoc bonus in cash or as an equity-based award for special achievements (such as in connection with mergers and acquisitions, financing transactions, offerings, achieving target budget or business plan under exceptional circumstances or special recognition in case of retirement) or as a retention award at the CEO’s discretion (and, in the CEO’s case, at the Board’s discretion, following the recommendation of the chairperson of the Board), subject to any additional approval as may be required by the Companies Law (the “Special Bonus”). The Special Bonus will not exceed 50% of the Executive Officer’s total compensation package on an annual basis.
9.2. Signing Bonus. Arbe may grant a newly hired Executive Officer a signing bonus at the CEO’s discretion (and, in the CEO’s case, at the Board’s discretion, following the recommendation of the chairperson of the Board), subject to any additional approval as may be required by the Companies Law (the “Signing Bonus”). The Signing Bonus will not exceed 100% of the Executive Officer’s annual base salary.
9.3. Relocation/Repatriation Bonus. Arbe may grant its Executive Officers a special bonus in the event of relocation or repatriation of an Executive Officer to another geography (the “Relocation Bonus”). The Relocation Bonus will include customary benefits associated with such relocation, and its monetary value will not exceed 100% of such Executive Officer’s annual base salary.

10. COMPENSATION RECOVERY (“CLAWBACK”)
10.1. In the event of an accounting restatement, Arbe shall be entitled to recover from its Executive Officers the bonus compensation or performance-based equity compensation in the amount by which such compensation exceeded what would have been paid under the financial statements, as restated, provided that a claim is made by Arbe prior to the third anniversary of the end of the fiscal year restated in the financial statements.
10.2. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the Clawback will not be triggered in the following events:
10.2.1. The financial restatement is required due to changes in the applicable financial reporting standards; or
10.2.2. The Compensation Committee has determined that Clawback proceedings in the specific case would be impossible, impractical, or not commercially or legally efficient.
10.3. Nothing in this Section 10 derogates from any other “Clawback” or similar provisions regarding disgorgement of profits imposed on Executive Officers by virtue of applicable law.
10.4. Without derogating from the foregoing, this Section 10 shall not limit, derogate from or replace the Company’s Clawback Policy adopted on December 1, 2023, as may be amended from time to time, and such policy is hereby incorporated into this Policy by reference.
D. EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION
11. GUIDELINES FOR THE GRANT OF AWARDS
11.1. The equity-based compensation for Arbe’s Executive Officers is designed in a manner consistent with the underlying objectives in determining the base salary and the annual cash bonus, with its main objectives being to enhance the alignment between the Executive Officers’ interests with the long-term interests of Arbe and its shareholders, and to strengthen the retention and the motivation of the Executive Officers in the long term. In addition, since equity-based awards are structured to vest over time, their incentive value to recipients is aligned with longer-term strategic plans.
