Insights
TL;DR: Routine governance outcomes; auditor ratification carried decisively, equity plan approved amid substantial broker non-votes.
The Annual Meeting produced standard corporate governance actions: election of a Class III director, auditor ratification and approval of an equity incentive plan. The auditor ratification passed with 3,649,705 votes in favor, indicating strong support on that routine matter. The equity plan passed but received 2,575,652 broker non-votes and a meaningful number of abstentions, which reduces the proportion of outstanding shares that actively supported the proposal. Voter participation was 40.3%, which is notable for assessing shareholder engagement.
TL;DR: Governance items approved; director elected for three years; outcomes reflect routine corporate maintenance rather than transformational change.
The company elected Tuvia Barlev to a three-year term with 1,081,044 votes in favor and recorded 74,215 abstentions. The appointment of Kesselman & Kesselman as auditor was ratified with a clear majority. Approval of the Actelis 2025 Equity Incentive Plan concluded successfully but the record shows 2,575,652 broker non-votes on the director and equity plan matters, indicating many shares were not entitled to vote or were not instructed on non-routine items. These results complete governance housekeeping without indicating immediate strategic shifts.
