Insights

Board seeks routine shareholder approvals for governance and compensation matters.

The proxy solicits votes to re-elect seven directors, approve advisory executive compensation, amend non-employee director pay, change 401(k) matching for U.S.-based executives, and appoint CBIZ CPAs P.C. as auditor. The proxy ties the record date to July 15, 2026 and the meeting to August 20, 2026.

Under Israeli Companies Law, Proposal Four carries special majority rules and possible Board override mechanics; shareholders should note the prescribed Interested Shareholder disclosures and the quorum and voting thresholds disclosed in the materials.

Material items are compensation-related but procedural rather than transformative.

The Compensation Committee proposes changes to the NED Program (annual retainers up to $125,000, option grants valued between $20,000–$60,000, and inaugural option awards of $165,000) and seeks shareholder approval of a say-on-pay advisory vote and 401(k) matching amendments.

These are governance-level compensation adjustments; the proxy discloses existing pay levels and historic option holdings for directors, enabling shareholders to assess the magnitude without additional financial forecasts.

Interested Shareholder regulatory

"shareholder who has a personal interest in the approval of the Proposal"

Say-on-pay compensation

"approve, by an advisory vote, the compensation of our named executive officers"

A say-on-pay is a shareholder vote that gives investors a chance to approve or disapprove a company’s executive compensation packages, typically held at annual meetings. It matters because the vote signals investor satisfaction with how leaders are paid—like customers rating how well managers are rewarded—and can push boards to change pay plans, reducing governance risk and affecting investor confidence and stock value even though the vote is usually advisory rather than legally binding.

FAQ

What is the meeting date and who can vote on Quoin (QNRX)?

The Annual General Meeting is set for August 20, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. ET. Record holders of ordinary shares as of July 15, 2026 are entitled to vote; each ordinary share carries one vote and each ADS represents 35 ordinary shares.

What are the main proposals on Quoin's (QNRX) proxy?

Shareholders will vote to elect seven directors, approve a non-binding advisory say-on-pay for named executive officers, approve changes to non-employee director compensation, amend 401(k) matching (including U.S. executives), and appoint CBIZ CPAs P.C. as auditor.

How does Proposal Four (401(k) matching) affect shareholder voting rules?

Proposal Four is subject to special majority rules under Israeli law: approval requires additional tallies excluding controlling or interested shareholders, and the Board may, under specific Companies Law conditions, override a shareholder rejection after documented reconsideration.

Where can I find Quoin’s proxy materials and annual report (QNRX)?

The proxy statement and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2025 are available at https://investors.quoinpharma.com/annual-report-and-proxy-statement. Materials are being distributed starting on or about July [•], 2026.

Will brokers be able to vote my ADSs if I don’t provide instructions?

The Depositary will not exercise discretion without instructions. Under NYSE broker-voting conventions cited, Quoin believes Proposals 1–4 are non-routine (likely resulting in broker non-votes) and Proposal 5 may be treated as routine, allowing broker discretion to vote on that item.

Attendance at the Annual Meeting is limited to shareholders of Quoin as of July 15, 2026 (the “Record Date”).

If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need proof of ownership to be admitted to the Annual Meeting. A recent brokerage statement or a letter from your bank, broker or other nominee are examples of proof of ownership.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

Holders of record of the Company’s ordinary shares at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. If you held ADSs (whether the ADSs are registered directly in your name or are held in “street name”) at the close of business on the Record Date, you are entitled to receive notice of the Annual Meeting but may not actually vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting.

As of the Record Date, there were [•] ordinary shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, represented by [•] ADSs.

In addition, shareholders attending the Annual Meeting will have an opportunity to review and ask questions regarding our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What if another matter is properly brought before the Annual Meeting?

As of the date of this proxy statement, our Board knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, it is intended that the person named as proxy, Sally Lawlor, our Chief Financial Officer, will vote, pursuant to her discretionary authority, according to her best judgment and discretion.

How do I vote?

If you are a record holder of ordinary shares, you can (i) vote at the Annual Meeting, or (ii) submit your vote by completing, signing and submitting a proxy card. Please follow the instructions on the proxy card. All shares represented by properly executed proxy cards will be voted as specified in the instructions indicated in such proxy. If you sign and return a proxy card, but do not specify how you want your shares voted on a specific proposal, the shares represented by a properly executed and received proxy card will be deemed to have abstained with respect to such proposal.

If you are a record holder of ADSs, you will receive a proxy card from The Bank of New York Mellon (which acts as the Depositary for the ADSs). Please follow the instructions on the proxy card and return it in the manner specified on the proxy card so that it will be received no later than the date and time indicated thereon.

If you hold ADSs in “street name,” that is, you are an underlying beneficial holder who holds ADSs through a bank, broker or other nominee, such intermediary will provide you with instructions on how you may give voting instructions with respect to the ordinary shares represented by your ADSs. Please check with your broker, bank or other nominee, as applicable, and carefully follow the voting procedures provided to you.

Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?

If you are a record holder of ordinary shares, you may revoke a proxy at any time before the deadline for receipt of proxies by (i) sending a written notice of revocation, or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, to Quoin at its offices at 42127 Pleasant Forest Ct., Ashburn, VA 20148, Attention: Corporate Secretary; or (ii) attending and voting in person at the Annual Meeting. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself constitute a revocation of your proxy.

If you are a record holder of ADSs, you may revoke your proxy at any time before the deadline for receipt of proxies by sending a written notice of revocation, or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date to adrproxy@betanxt.com. The last proxy you submit prior to the deadline indicated by the Depositary will be used to instruct the Depositary how to vote the ordinary shares represented by your ADSs.

If you hold ADSs in “street name,” you must follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee in order to change your vote. The last instructions you submit prior to the deadline indicated by your broker, bank or other nominee, will be used to instruct the Depositary how to vote the ordinary shares represented by your ADSs.

What happens if I do not vote?

If you are a record holder of ordinary shares and do not vote in person or by proxy, your ordinary shares will not be voted.

If you are a record holder of ADSs and do not instruct the Depositary how to vote, the ordinary shares represented by your ADSs will not be voted. Under the terms of our Deposit Agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, as Depositary, and the holders of the ADSs, the Depositary shall endeavor (to the extent practicable and in accordance with applicable law and the Articles of Association of the Company) to vote or cause to be voted the number of ordinary shares represented by ADSs in accordance with the instructions provided by the holders of ADSs to the Depositary. If no proxy is received by the Depositary from a holder of ADSs on or before the date established by the Depositary for such purpose, the Depositary will not exercise any discretion in voting the ordinary shares represented by such ADSs.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If you hold ADSs in “street name” and do not instruct your broker, bank, or other agent how to vote the ordinary shares represented by your ADSs, the question of whether your broker or nominee will still be able to vote the ordinary shares represented by your ADSs depends on whether the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) deems the particular proposal to be a “routine” matter.

Although our ADSs are not listed with the NYSE, the NYSE regulates broker-dealers and their discretion to vote on shareholder proposals. Under the NYSE rules applicable to brokers and other similar organizations that are subject to NYSE rules, such organizations may use their discretion to vote “uninstructed securities” with respect to matters considered to be “routine” under NYSE rules, but not with respect to “non-routine” matters. Under such rules and interpretations, non-routine matters are matters that may substantially affect the rights or privileges of shareholders, such as mergers, shareholder proposals, elections of directors (even if not contested), executive compensation (including any advisory shareholder votes on executive compensation and on the frequency of shareholder votes on executive compensation), and certain corporate governance proposals, even if management-supported.

When there is at least one “routine” matter to be considered at a meeting, a “broker non-vote” occurs when a separate matter is deemed “non-routine” and the broker, bank or other nominee holding ADSs for a beneficial owner does not have discretionary voting authority with respect to the “non-routine” matter being considered and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. The unvoted ordinary shares represented by such ADSs on “non-routine” matters are counted as broker non-votes.

We believe that Proposal Nos. 1-4 are non-routine matters and Proposal No. 5 will be treated by the NYSE as a routine matter. Accordingly, your broker may register the ordinary shares represented by your ADSs as being present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, may not vote the ordinary shares represented by your ADSs on Proposal Nos. 1-4 without your instructions (referred to as broker non-votes), but may vote the ordinary shares represented by your ADSs on Proposal No. 5 even in the absence of your instruction. This belief is based on preliminary guidance from the NYSE and may be incorrect or change before the Annual Meeting.

What are the voting requirements to elect the directors and to approve each of the other proposals discussed in this proxy statement?

The approval of each of the proposals requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares that are voted in person or by proxy on such proposal at the Annual Meeting, with abstentions not taken into account for voting purposes.

The approval of Proposal No. 4 is subject to the fulfillment of one of the following additional special majority voting requirements: (i) that the majority of the shares that are voted at the Annual Meeting in favor of such proposal, excluding abstentions, include a majority of the votes of shareholders who are not controlling shareholders or do not have a personal interest in the approval of the Proposal (each, an “Interested Shareholder”); or (ii) that the total number of shares of the shareholders mentioned in clause (i) above that are voted against the proposal does not exceed two percent (2%) of the total voting rights in the Company (a “special majority”).

For this purpose, a “controlling shareholder” is 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 is presumed to be a controlling shareholder if it holds or controls, by himself or together with others, one half or more of any one of the “means of control” of a company. “Means of control” is defined as any one of the following: (i) the right to vote at a general meeting of a company, or (ii) the right to appoint directors of a company or its chief executive officer. A “personal interest” of a shareholder in an action or transaction of a company includes a personal interest of any of the shareholder’s relatives (i.e. spouse, brother or sister, parent, grandparent, child as well as child, brother, sister or parent of such shareholder’s spouse or the spouse of any of the above) or an interest of a company with respect to which the shareholder or the shareholder’s relative (as defined above) holds 5% or more of such company’s issued shares or voting rights, in which any such person has the right to appoint a director or the chief executive officer or in which any such person serves as director or the chief executive officer, including the personal interest of a person voting pursuant to a proxy which the proxy grantor has a personal interest, whether or not the person voting pursuant to such proxy has discretion with regards to the vote; and excludes an interest arising solely from

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the ownership of ordinary shares of a company. For the purpose of a holding, two or more persons holding voting rights in the company each of which has a personal interest in the approval of the transaction being brought for approval of the company will be considered to be joint holders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the “Companies Law”) allows the Board to approve Proposal No. 4 even if the shareholders have voted against its approval, provided that the Compensation Committee, and thereafter the Board, each determines, based on detailed arguments and after having reconsidered the matter, that approving such proposal is in the best interest of the Company. Only in special circumstances prescribed by the Companies Law, and subject to certain conditions, can the Compensation Committee and Board override the shareholders’ decision to oppose Proposal No. 4.

Under Israeli law, every voting shareholder is required to notify the Company whether such shareholder is an Interested Shareholder. To avoid confusion, every shareholder voting by means of the enclosed proxy card, or via telephone or internet voting, will be deemed to confirm that such shareholder is NOT an Interested Shareholder. If you are an Interested Shareholder (in which case your vote will only count for or against the ordinary majority, and not for or against the special tally under Proposal No. 4), please notify Quoin Pharmaceuticals Ltd., 42127 Pleasant Forest Ct., Ashburn, VA 20148, Attn: Sally Lawlor, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, telephone: (703) 980-4182, or by email slawlor@quoinpharma.com. If your shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or other nominee and you are an Interested Shareholder, you should notify your broker, bank or other nominee of that status, and they in turn should notify the Company as described in the preceding sentence.

We do not believe we have a controlling shareholder as of the Record Date of the Annual Meeting, and therefore, we believe that (other than our directors and officers) none of our shareholders should have a personal interest in Proposal No. 4 and be deemed an Interested Shareholder.

Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be treated as either a vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” any proposal at the Annual Meeting and therefore will not impact whether the requisite majority has been achieved for any proposal.

What is the quorum requirement for the Annual Meeting?

Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting.

How can I find out the Annual Meeting voting results?

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. In addition, final voting results will be published in a current report on Form 8-K that we expect to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within four business days after the Annual Meeting.

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

We will bear the costs of solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting, including the preparation, assembly, printing, mailing and distribution of the proxy materials. In addition to solicitation by mail, our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies 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. Banks, brokers or other nominees have been requested to forward soliciting material to the beneficial owners of shares held of record by them, and such custodians will be reimbursed by us for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Although we do not anticipate doing so, we reserve the right to retain a professional proxy solicitation firm

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to assist in our solicitation of proxies. If we were to retain such a firm, we estimate that we would be required to pay such firm fees ranging from $15,000 to $20,000 plus out-of-pocket expenses.

What proxy materials are available online?

Copies of the Notice of Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, this proxy statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 are available at https:// investors.quoinpharma.com/annual-report-and-proxy-statement.

Director Nomination Process

Nominating and Governance Committee. Our Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for, among other matters, annually presenting to the Board a list of individuals recommended for nomination for election as directors at the annual general meeting. Before recommending a director candidate, our Nominating and Governance Committee reviews his or her qualifications to determine whether the director candidate meets the qualifications described below. In the case of an incumbent director, our Nominating and Governance Committee also reviews the director’s service on the Board during the past term, including the number of Board and committee meetings attended, the quality of participation and whether the candidate continues to meet the qualifications for director as described below. After completing its evaluation, our Nominating and Governance Committee makes a recommendation to the full Board as to election or re-election of the candidate.

Candidates may come to the attention of the Nominating and Governance Committee through current and former Board members, management, shareholders or other persons. The Nominating and Governance Committee evaluates candidates for the Board on the basis of the needs of the Board and the standards and qualifications set forth below, regardless of the source of the candidate referral.

Director Qualifications. In order to be nominated for director, a director candidate must be a natural person at least eighteen (18) years of age and must meet the requirements for a director under the Companies Law, including submission of a declaration in writing that they possess the requisite skills and expertise, as well as sufficient time, to perform their duties as directors. Characteristics expected of all directors include: integrity, high personal and professional ethics, sound business judgment, and the ability and willingness to commit sufficient time to the Board. In evaluating the suitability of individual Board members, the Board considers many factors, including capability, experience, diversity, skills, expertise, dedication, conflicts of interest, and such other relevant factors that may be appropriate in the context of the needs of the Board. The Board believes that the Board, as a whole, should include members who collectively bring the strengths in the areas of finance, corporate governance, financial statement analysis, business operations and strategic planning, and mergers and acquisitions. Additional criteria apply to directors being considered to serve on particular committees of the Board. For example, members of the Audit Committee must meet additional standards of independence and have the ability to read and understand our financial statements.

Internal Auditor

Under the Companies Law, the board of directors of a public company must appoint an internal auditor based on the recommendation of the audit committee. The role of the internal auditor is, among other things, to review the company’s compliance with applicable law and orderly business procedure. Under the Companies Law, the internal auditor cannot be an interested party, an office holder, or a relative of an interested party or an office holder. Nor may the internal auditor be the company’s independent auditor or its representative. An “interested party” is defined in the Companies Law as (i) a holder of 5% or more of the issued share capital or voting power in a company, (ii) any person or entity who has the right to designate one or more directors or to designate the chief executive officer of the company, or (iii) any person who serves as a director or as chief executive officer of the company. The role of the internal auditor is to examine, among other things, our compliance with applicable law and orderly business procedures. The audit committee is required to oversee the activities of the internal auditor and to assess his or her work plan and performance.

Fiduciary Duties of Directors and Executive Officers

The Companies Law codifies the fiduciary duties that office holders owe to a company. An office holder is defined in the Companies Law as a general manager, chief business manager, deputy general manager, vice general manager, any other person assuming the responsibilities of any of these positions

TABLE OF CONTENTS

regardless of such person’s title, a director, and any other manager directly subordinate to the general manager. Each person listed in the table under “Management” is an office holder under the Companies Law.

An office holder’s fiduciary duties consist of a duty of care and a duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires an office holder to act with the level of care with which a reasonable office holder in the same position would act under the same circumstances. The duty of loyalty requires that an office holder act in good faith and in the best interests of the company.

The duty of care includes a duty to use reasonable means to obtain:

•

information on the advisability of a given action brought for the office holder’s approval or performed by virtue of his or her position; and

•

all other important information pertaining to any such action.

The duty of loyalty includes a duty to:

•

refrain from any conflict of interest between the performance of the office holder’s duties to the company and his or her other duties or personal affairs;

•

refrain from any activity that is competitive with the company;

•

refrain from exploiting any business opportunity of the company to receive a personal gain for himself or herself or others; and

•

disclose to the company any information or documents relating to the company’s affairs which the office holder received as a result of his or her position as an office holder.

Shareholder duties

Pursuant to the Companies Law, a shareholder has a duty to act in good faith and in a customary manner toward the company and other shareholders and to refrain from abusing his or her power with respect to the company, including, among other things, in voting at a general meeting and at shareholder class meetings with respect to the following matters:

•

an amendment to the company’s articles of association;

•

an increase of the company’s authorized share capital;

•

a merger; or

•

interested party transactions that require shareholder approval.

In addition, a shareholder has a general duty to refrain from discriminating against other shareholders.

Certain shareholders also have a duty of fairness toward the company. These shareholders include any controlling shareholder, any shareholder who knows that it has the power to determine the outcome of a shareholder vote, and any shareholder who has the power to appoint or to prevent the appointment of an office holder of the company or exercise any other rights available to it under the company’s articles of association with respect to the company. The Companies Law does not define the substance of this duty of fairness, except to state that the remedies generally available upon a breach of contract will also apply in the event of a breach of the duty of fairness.

Disclosure of Personal Interests of an Office Holder and Approval of Certain Transactions

The Companies Law requires that an office holder promptly disclose to the board of directors any personal interest and all related material information known to such office holder concerning any existing or proposed transaction with the company. A personal interest includes an interest of any person in an act or transaction of a company, including a personal interest of one’s relative or of a corporate body in which such person or a relative of such person is a 5% or greater shareholder, director, or general manager or in which such person has the right to appoint at least one director or the general manager, but excluding a personal interest stemming solely from one’s ownership of shares in the company. A personal interest includes

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the personal interest of a person for whom the office holder holds a voting proxy or the personal interest of the office holder with respect to the officer holder’s vote on behalf of a person for whom he or she holds a proxy even if such shareholder has no personal interest in the matter.

If it is determined that an office holder has a personal interest in a non-extraordinary transaction (meaning any transaction that is in the ordinary course of business, on market terms or that is not likely to have a material impact on the company’s profitability, assets or liabilities), approval by the board of directors is required for the transaction unless the company’s articles of association provide for a different method of approval. Any such transaction that is adverse to the company’s interests may not be approved by the board of directors.

Approval first by the company’s audit committee and subsequently by the board of directors is required for an extraordinary transaction (meaning any transaction that is not in the ordinary course of business, not on market terms or that is likely to have a material impact on the company’s profitability, assets or liabilities) in which an office holder has a personal interest.

A director and any other office holder who has a personal interest in a transaction which is considered at a meeting of the board of directors or the audit committee may generally (unless it is with respect to a transaction which is not an extraordinary transaction) not be present at such a meeting or vote on that matter unless a majority of the directors or members of the audit committee, as applicable, have a personal interest in the matter. If a majority of the members of the audit committee or the board of directors have a personal interest in the matter, then all of the directors may participate in deliberations of the audit committee or board of directors, as applicable, with respect to such transaction and vote on the approval thereof and, in such case, shareholder approval is also required.

Certain disclosure and approval requirements apply under Israeli law to certain transactions with controlling shareholders, certain transactions in which a controlling shareholder has a personal interest, and certain arrangements regarding the terms of service or employment of a controlling shareholder. For these purposes, a controlling shareholder is any shareholder that has the ability to direct the company’s actions, including any shareholder holding 25% or more of the voting rights if no other shareholder owns more than 50% of the voting rights in the company. Two or more shareholders with a personal interest in the approval of the same transaction are deemed to be one shareholder.

Exculpation, insurance and indemnification of office holders

Under the Companies Law, a company may not exculpate an office holder from liability for a breach of the duty of loyalty. An Israeli company may exculpate an office holder in advance from liability to the company, in whole or in part, for damages caused to the company as a result of a breach of duty of care, but only if a provision authorizing such exculpation is included in its articles of association. Our Articles of Association include such a provision. An Israeli company may not exculpate a director from liability arising out of a prohibited dividend or distribution to shareholders.

An Israeli company may indemnify an office holder from the following liabilities and expenses incurred for acts performed as an office holder, either in advance of an event or following an event, provided a provision authorizing such indemnification is contained in its articles of association:

•

a financial liability imposed on him or her in favor of another person pursuant to a judgment, including a settlement or arbitrator’s award approved by a court. However, if an undertaking to indemnify an office holder with respect to such liability is provided in advance, then such an undertaking must be limited to events which, in the opinion of the board of directors, can be foreseen based on the company’s activities when the undertaking to indemnify is given, and to an amount or according to criteria determined by the board of directors as reasonable under the circumstances, and such undertaking shall detail the above mentioned events and amount or criteria;

•

reasonable litigation expenses, including legal fees, incurred by the office holder (1) as a result of an investigation or proceeding instituted against him or her by an authority authorized to conduct such investigation or proceeding, provided that (i) no indictment was filed against such office holder as a result of such investigation or proceeding; and (ii) no financial liability, such as a criminal penalty, was imposed upon him or her as a substitute for the criminal proceeding as a result of such investigation

TABLE OF CONTENTS

or proceeding or, if such financial liability was imposed, it was imposed with respect to an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent; and (2) in connection with a monetary sanction;

•

reasonable litigation expenses, including legal fees, incurred by the office holder or imposed by a court in proceedings instituted against him or her by the company, on its behalf or by a third-party or in connection with criminal proceedings in which the office holder was acquitted or as a result of a conviction for an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent;

•

expenses, including reasonable litigation expenses and legal fees, incurred by an office holder in relation to an administrative proceeding instituted against such office holder, or certain compensation payments made to an injured party imposed on an office holder by an administrative proceeding, pursuant to certain provisions of the Israeli Securities Law; and

•

expenses, including reasonable litigation expenses and legal fees, incurred by an office holder in relation to an administrative proceeding instituted against such office holder pursuant to certain provisions of the Israeli Economic Competition Law, 5758-1988.

An Israeli company may insure an office holder against the following liabilities incurred for acts performed as an office holder if and to the extent provided in the company’s articles of association:

•

a breach of the duty of loyalty to the company, to the extent that the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice the company;

•

a breach of the duty of care to the company or to a third-party, including a breach arising out of the negligent conduct of the office holder;

•

a financial liability imposed on the office holder in favor of a third-party;

•

a financial liability imposed on the office holder in favor of a third-party harmed by a breach in an administrative proceeding, pursuant to certain provisions of the Israeli Securities Law; and

•

expenses, including reasonable litigation expenses and legal fees, incurred by the office holder as a result of an administrative proceeding instituted against him or her, pursuant to certain provisions of the Israeli Securities Law.

An Israeli company may not exempt, indemnify or insure an office holder against any of the following:

•

a breach of the duty of loyalty, except with respect to insurance coverage or indemnification, to the extent that the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice the company;

•

a breach of the duty of care committed intentionally or recklessly, excluding a breach arising out of the negligent conduct of the office holder;

•

an act or omission committed with intent to derive illegal personal benefit; or

•

a fine, monetary sanction, or forfeit levied against the office holder.

Under the Companies Law, exculpation, indemnification, and insurance of office holders must be approved by the compensation committee and the board of directors (and, with respect to directors and the chief executive officer, by the shareholders). However, under regulations promulgated under the Companies Law, the insurance of office holders shall not require shareholder approval and may be approved by only the compensation committee if the engagement terms are determined in accordance with the company’s compensation policy, which was approved by the shareholders by the same special majority required to approve a compensation policy, provided that the insurance policy is on market terms and the insurance policy is not likely to materially impact the company’s profitability, assets, or obligations.

Our Articles of Association allow us to exculpate, indemnify, and insure our office holders to the maximum extent permitted by law. Our office holders are currently covered by a directors and officers’ liability insurance policy.

We have entered into agreements with each of our directors and executive officers exculpating them in advance, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from liability to us for damages caused to us as a result of a breach of duty of care, and undertaking to indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by law. This

TABLE OF CONTENTS

indemnification is limited to events determined as foreseeable by the board of directors based on our activities and to an amount or according to criteria determined by the board of directors as reasonable under the circumstances.

In the opinion of the SEC, indemnification of directors and office holders for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, however, is against public policy and therefore unenforceable.

Approvals Required for the Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers

Directors

Under the Companies Law, the compensation of a public company’s directors requires the approval of (i) its compensation committee, (ii) its board of directors and, unless exempted under regulations promulgated under the Companies Law, (iii) its shareholders at a general meeting. In addition, if the compensation of a public company’s directors is inconsistent with the company’s compensation policy, then those inconsistent provisions must be separately considered by the compensation committee and board of directors, and approved by the shareholders by a special vote in one of the following two ways:

•

at least a majority of the shares held by all shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and do not have a personal interest in such matter, present and voting at such meeting, vote in favor of the inconsistent provisions of the compensation package, excluding abstentions; or

•

the total number of shares of non-controlling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest in such matter voting against the inconsistent provisions of the compensation package does not exceed two percent (2%) of the aggregate voting rights in the Company.

Executive Officers other than the Chief Executive Officer

The Companies Law requires the compensation of a public company’s officer holders (other than the chief executive officer and who does not also serve as a director) be approved in the following order: (i) the compensation committee, (ii) the company’s board of directors, and (iii) if such compensation arrangement is inconsistent with the company’s stated compensation policy, the company’s shareholders (by a special vote as discussed above with respect to the approval of director compensation that is inconsistent with the compensation policy).

However, there are exceptions to the foregoing approval requirements with respect to such non-director executive officers. If the shareholders of the company do not approve the compensation of such a non-director executive officer, the compensation committee and board of directors may override the shareholders’ disapproval for such non-director executive officer provided that the compensation committee and the board of directors each document the basis for their decision to override the disapproval of the shareholders and approve the compensation.

An amendment to an existing compensation arrangement with a non-director executive officer requires only the approval of the compensation committee, if the compensation committee determines that the amendment is immaterial. However, if such non-director executive officer is subordinate to the chief executive officer, an immaterial amendment to an existing compensation arrangement shall not require the approval of the compensation committee if (i) such amendment is approved by the chief executive officer, (ii) the company’s compensation policy allows for such immaterial amendments to be approved by the chief executive officer and (iii) the engagement terms are consistent with the company’s compensation policy.

Chief Executive Officer

Under the Companies Law, the compensation of a public company’s chief executive officer is required to be approved by: (i) the company’s compensation committee, (ii) the company’s board of directors and (iii) the company’s shareholders (by a special vote as discussed above with respect to the approval of director compensation that is inconsistent with the compensation policy). However, if the shareholders of the company do not approve the compensation arrangement with a chief executive officer who does not serve as a director, the compensation committee and board of directors may override the shareholders’ decision provided that they each document the basis for their decision and the compensation is in accordance with the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

company’s compensation policy. The approval of each of the compensation committee and board of directors should be in accordance with the company’s compensation policy; however, in special circumstances, they may approve compensation terms of a chief executive officer that are inconsistent with such policy provided that they have considered those provisions that must be included in the compensation policy according to the Companies Law and that shareholder approval was obtained (by a special majority vote as discussed above with respect to the approval of director compensation that is inconsistent with the compensation policy).

In the case of a new chief executive officer, the compensation committee may waive the shareholder approval requirement with regard to the compensation of a candidate for the chief executive officer position if the compensation committee determines that: (i) the compensation arrangement is consistent with the company’s compensation policy, (ii) the chief executive officer candidate did not have, on the date of his appointment or during the two-year period preceding his appointment, an “affiliation” (including an employment relationship, a business or professional relationship or control) with the company or a controlling shareholder of the company or a relative thereof and (iii) subjecting the approval of the engagement to a shareholder vote would impede the company’s ability to employ the chief executive officer candidate. However, if the chief executive officer candidate will serve as a member of the board of directors, such candidate’s compensation terms as chief executive officer must be approved in accordance with the rules applicable to approval of compensation of directors.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Articles of Association provide that the Chairman of the board of directors is appointed by the members of the board of directors and serves as Chairman of the board of directors throughout his term as a director, unless resolved otherwise by the board of directors. Under the Companies Law, the Chief Executive Officer or a relative of the Chief Executive Officer may not serve as the Chairman of the board of directors, and the Chairman or a relative of the Chairman may not be vested with authorities of the Chief Executive Officer, unless such service or the vesting of such authority is approved, for a period not greater than three years, by a majority vote of the shares present and voting at an annual or special general meeting of shareholders, provided that either:

•

such majority includes at least a majority of the shares held by all shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and do not have a personal interest in such appointment, present and voting at such meeting (not including abstaining shareholders); or

•

the total number of shares of non-controlling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest in such appointment voting against such appointment does not exceed 2% of the aggregate voting rights in the company.

In addition, a person subordinated, directly or indirectly, to the Chief Executive Officer may not serve as the Chairman of the board of directors; the Chairman of the board of directors may not be vested with authorities that are granted to those subordinated to the Chief Executive Officer; and the Chairman of the board of directors may not serve in any other position in the company or a controlled company, other than as a director or Chairman of a controlled company.

Dr. Michael Myers has served as the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Quoin Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary, since its inception. Effective as of October 28, 2021, Dr. Myers was appointed to our Board and has served as our Chief Executive Officer and was acting as chairman pro tempore of our Board. Based on the recommendation of our Nominating and Governance Committee, our Board recommended that our shareholders ratify and approve the service of Dr. Myers as both Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, for a three-year period commencing on October 28, 2021, which was so ratified and approved at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on April 12, 2022. The three-year period expired on October 28, 2024, at which point our Board appointed Dr. Dennis Langer to assume the role of Interim Chairman until the Company’s shareholders approved Dr. Myers’ reappointment as Chairman of the Board for another three-year period at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on December 4, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Meeting”). Dr. Myers’ service as both the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board for a period of three-years was approved by shareholders at the 2024 Annual Meeting. The Board believes that

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Quoin’s current leadership structure is appropriate for Quoin as it makes the best use of Dr. Myers’ extensive experience in the life sciences industry, skills, expertise, as well as knowledge of Quoin’s business and industry. It also fosters real-time communication between management and the Board.

Role of the Board in Risk Oversight

One of the key functions of our Board is oversight of our risk management process. The Board takes an active role, as a whole and at the committee level, in overseeing the management of our risks. In particular, our Board is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure and our Audit Committee has the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures. The Audit Committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and cybersecurity risk exposures.

Shareholder Communications with the Board

The Board expects that the views of our shareholders will be heard by the Board, its committees or individual directors, as applicable, and that appropriate responses be provided to shareholders on a timely basis. Shareholders wishing to formally communicate with the Board, any committee of the Board, the independent directors as a group or any individual director may send communications directly to us at 42127 Pleasant Forest Ct., Ashburn, VA 20148, Attention: Chief Operating Officer. All clearly marked written communications, other than unsolicited advertising or promotional materials, are logged and copied, and forwarded to the director(s) to whom the communication was addressed. The Chief Operating Officer will review all such communications but may disregard any communication that she believes is not related to the duties and responsibilities of the Board. If deemed an appropriate communication, the Chief Operating Officer will share the communication with the applicable director or directors.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (the “Code of Ethics”) that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer. A copy of our Code of Ethics has been posted to the “Investors-Corporate Governance” section of our website www.quoinpharma.com. If we make any amendment to the Code of Ethics or grant any waivers, including any implicit waiver, from a provision of the Code of Ethics, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on our website to the extent required by the rules and regulations of the SEC. The information on the website is not and should not be considered part of this proxy statement and is not incorporated by reference in this proxy statement. A copy of the Code of Ethics is attached as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Insider Trading Policy

We maintain an Insider Trading Policy governing the purchase, sale and other disposition of our securities by our officers, directors and employees. We believe our Insider Trading Policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, as well as the Nasdaq listing standards applicable to us. The Insider Trading Policy prohibits trading while in possession of material, non-public information and during blackout periods. While our executive officers and directors are not required to enter into trading plans in advance of any transactions in our securities, executive officers and directors are permitted to enter into trading plans that are intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. The Insider Trading Policy requires all directors, officers and certain other specified employees who have regular access to material, non-public information about us in the normal course of their duties to comply with pre-clearance procedures prior to engaging in any transaction our securities. The Insider Trading Policy also requires the Company to comply with all insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and any applicable listing standards when engaging in transactions in our own securities. A copy of our Insider Trading Policy is attached as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Hedging Policy

As part of our Insider Trading Policy, no director, officer or other employee may engage in hedging transactions, including through the use of such financial instruments as prepaid variable forwards, equity

TABLE OF CONTENTS

swaps, collars and exchange funds, at any time. Additionally, persons subject to our Insider Trading Policy are prohibited from holding our securities in margin accounts or pledging our securities as collateral for a loan.

Clawback Policy

The Board adopted a clawback policy which requires the clawback of incentive-based compensation to past or current executive officers erroneously awarded during the three full fiscal years preceding the date on which we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to our material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws. There is no fault or misconduct required to trigger a clawback.

The Compensation Committee will determine, in its sole discretion, the timing and method for promptly recouping such erroneously awarded compensation, which may include without limitation: (a) seeking reimbursement of all or part of any cash or equity-based award, (b) cancelling prior cash or equity- based awards, whether vested or unvested or paid or unpaid, (c) cancelling or offsetting against any planned future cash or equity-based awards, (d) forfeiture of deferred compensation, subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and (e) any other method authorized by applicable law or contract. Subject to compliance with any applicable law, the Compensation Committee may affect recovery under this policy from any amount otherwise payable to the executive officer, including amounts payable to such individual under any otherwise applicable plan or program of ours, including base salary, bonuses or commissions and compensation previously deferred by the executive officer.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Our independent director compensation program is designed to provide competitive compensation to attract and retain high-quality outside directors. Our Compensation Committee periodically reviews the compensation of our non-employee directors and periodically reviews the compensation of our independent directors and makes recommendations to our Board for adjustments. Our non-employee directors’ compensation program consists of the following components:

Compensation Form			Amount
Annual Cash Retainers
Board Member			up to $125,000(1)
Committee Chairperson			$ 15,000
Member of Standing Committee			$ 5,000
Annual Equity Grant			(2)
Initial Equity Grant			(3)

(1)

Each non-employee director receives an annual base retainer (the “Annual Retainer”) of up to $125,000, which amount will be determined annually at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and the Board;

(2)

Each non-employee director is entitled to receive an annual award of options with a value of no less than $20,000 and no more than $60,000, with such value being determined annually at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and the Board.

(3)

Each non-employee director who joins the Board is granted an inaugural award of options valued at $165,000.

Furthermore, each non-employee director may elect to receive all or a portion of the Annual Retainer due to them in the form of options.

The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to non-employee directors for the year ended December 31, 2025.

PROPOSAL TWO — APPROVAL, BY AN ADVISORY VOTE,
OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

As required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and Schedule 14A under the Exchange Act, we are providing our shareholders with the opportunity to approve, by an advisory vote, the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with the SEC rules and regulations.

This proposal, commonly referred to as a “say-on-pay” vote, gives our shareholders the opportunity to express their views on the compensation of our named executive officers. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation of any specific named executive officer, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and our executive compensation philosophy, objectives and program, as described in this proxy statement. Accordingly, we ask our shareholders to approve the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act in the section entitled “Executive Compensation” of this proxy statement, including the compensation tables and the related narrative disclosure, by casting a non-binding advisory vote “FOR” the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the shareholders of Quoin Pharmaceuticals Ltd. approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of its named executive officers, as disclosed in its 2026 proxy statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the compensation tables regarding named executive officer compensation and the narrative disclosures that accompany the compensation tables.”

As an advisory vote, the result will not be binding on the Board or the Compensation Committee. The say-on-pay vote will, however, provide us with important feedback from our shareholders about our executive compensation philosophy, objectives and program. Our Board and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of our shareholders and expect to take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation decisions and when evaluating our executive compensation program.

In keeping with the preference expressed by our shareholders at our 2023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, our Board has adopted a policy of holding say-on-pay votes every three years until the Company is required to hold another advisory vote on the frequency of say-on-pay votes, which will occur no later than our 2029 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. The next say-on-pay vote will occur at our 2029 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL, ON A NON-BINDING ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

PROPOSAL THREE — APPROVAL OF CHANGES
TO OUR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS’ COMPENSATION PROGRAM

Under Quoin’s non-employee directors’ compensation program (the “NED Program”) approved by our shareholders at the 2022 annual shareholder meeting, and the amendments to the NED Program that were approved by our shareholders at the annual shareholder meetings held in 2023, 2024 and 2025, each non- employee director is entitled to receive as compensation for his or her service (a) an annual base retainer (the “Annual Retainer”) of up to $125,000, which amount will be determined annually at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and the Board; (b) for committee chairpersons, an additional $15,000 per year for service as the chairperson of a board committee; and (c) for standing committee members, an additional $5,000 per year for such service on a standing committee. In addition, each of our non-employee directors is entitled to receive an inaugural award of options valued at $165,000, and an annual award of options valued at no less than $20,000 and no more than $60,000, with such value being determined annually at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and the Board. Furthermore, each non-employee director may elect to receive all or a portion of the Annual Retainer due to them in the form of options.

After receiving the recommendation of our Compensation Committee, our Board has approved, and recommends that the shareholders approve, the following changes to the NED Program: (i) the Annual Retainer being increased to up to $250,000, which amount shall be determined annually at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and the Board; and (ii) an increase in the range of values for the annual award of options to no less than $20,000 and no more than $200,000, with such value being determined annually at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and the Board. For the avoidance of any doubt, the remaining terms set forth in the NED Program, as previously approved by the shareholders and as previously amended, would remain unchanged. Our Compensation Committee and our Board have determined that such changes to the NED Program are reasonable, in our best interest, and in line with the 2025 Compensation Policy (as defined below).

Our Board of Directors will present the following resolution for adoption at the Annual Meeting:

“Resolved, to approve the changes to our non-employee directors’ compensation program, as described in the Company’s Proxy Statement, dated July [•], 2026.”

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE CHANGES TO OUR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS’ COMPENSATION PROGRAM.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROPOSAL FOUR — APPROVAL OF THE CHANGES TO THE
MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS PAYABLE PURSUANT TO
THE COMPANY’S 401(K) PLAN, INCLUDING TO THE COMPANY’S
U.S.-BASED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

At this time we have a tax-qualified, defined contribution plan as defined in Section 401(k) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), (the “401(k) Plan”) and similar tax-qualified, defined contribution plans under the laws of other jurisdictions (the “non-U.S. Plans”), (collectively, the “Plans”), pursuant to which our executive officers (and other eligible employees) can contribute a certain portion of their base salary on a monthly basis. Under the current terms of the 401(k) Plan, we match up to 100% of a participant’s first 1% of his or her eligible contributions to the Plan, and we match up to 50% of the next 5% of his or her eligible contributions. Under the current terms of the non-U.S. Plans, we match up to 5% of participant’s eligible contributions to the non-U.S. Plans.

After receiving the recommendation of our Compensation Committee, our Board has approved, and recommends that the shareholders approve, a change to the 401(k) Plan such that we match up to 100% of a participant’s first 1% of his or her eligible contributions to the 401(k) Plan, and we match up to 50% of the next 10% of his or her eligible contributions (the “401(k) Plan Revision”). The reason for this proposal is to provide our employees, including our executive officers, with an economic incentive for long-term service by offering additional financial security upon retirement, support our efforts to retain our employees, including our executive officers, and bring our compensation structure in line with industry practice and help our executive compensation remain competitive with that offered to other top executive officers in our industry. Our Compensation Committee and our Board have determined that the 401(k) Plan Revision is reasonable, in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders, and in line with the 2025 Compensation Policy (as defined below). If shareholders approve such proposal, such increased matching provisions will be applied to all participants in the 401(k) Plan.

Our Board of Directors will present the following resolution for adoption at the Annual Meeting:

“Resolved, to approve the changes to the matching contributions payable pursuant to the Company’s 401(k) Plan, including to the Company’s U.S.-based executive officers, as described in the Company’s Proxy Statement, dated July [•], 2026.”

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE CHANGES TO MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS PAYABLE PURSUANT TO THE COMPANY’S 401(k) PLAN, INCLUDING TO THE COMPANY’S U.S.-BASED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

PROPOSAL FIVE — APPOINTMENT OF CBIZ CPAs P.C.
TO SERVE AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM UNTIL
OUR NEXT ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

Under the Companies Law, an independent auditor (“auditor”) must be appointed by our shareholders at a general meeting. Under the Companies Law and our Articles of Association, the Board is authorized to determine the independent auditor’s remuneration, and must notify our shareholders of the terms of such remuneration. The Nasdaq listing standards require that our Audit Committee approve the appointment and remuneration of our independent auditor.

Quoin’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Our shareholders approved the appointment of CBIZ CPAs P.C. (“CBIZ CPAs”) as our independent registered public accounting firm and auditor for the year ended December 31, 2025, and to continue to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm until our next annual general meeting of shareholders. Our Audit Committee and the Board recommend that our shareholders reappoint CBIZ CPAs as our independent registered public accounting firm and auditor until our 2027 annual general meeting of shareholders.

The key provisions with respect to the remuneration of CBIZ CPAs for the services it will provide to Quoin include: (a) $137,000 for an audit of the balance sheet as of December 31, 2026 and the statements of operations, comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity, cash flows and related notes for the year ending December 31, 2026 in accordance with PCAOB standards; and (b) $30,000 for each interim period quarterly review(s), in each case excluding reimbursement for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses and excluding certain currently unforeseen circumstances. Following the approval and recommendation by our Audit Committee, the Board has approved these terms of remuneration for the services which CBIZ CPAs would provide as our auditor until our 2027 annual general meeting of shareholders, subject to CBIZ CPAs’ appointment as our auditor by our shareholders at the Annual Meeting.

It is therefore proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Annual Meeting:

“Resolved, CBIZ CPAs P.C. is hereby appointed to serve as the Company’s auditor and independent registered public accounting firm, until the Company’s next annual general meeting of shareholders.”

Representatives of CBIZ CPAs are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will also be available to respond to appropriate and applicable questions. They also will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so.

Change in Certifying Accountant During Two Most Recent Fiscal Years

Our shareholders appointed Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) as our independent registered public accounting firm and auditor for the year ended December 31, 2024. CBIZ CPAs acquired the attest business of Marcum, effective November 1, 2024. Marcum continued to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm through March 18, 2025. On March 18, 2025, Marcum resigned as our independent registered public accounting firm, and CBIZ CPAs was appointed to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025, effective immediately. The engagement of CBIZ CPAs was approved by the Audit Committee.

Marcum’s reports on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During our two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the subsequent interim period through March 18, 2025, there were no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) between us and Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum, would have caused Marcum to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on our consolidated financial statements for such years. In addition, during our two most recent fiscal years ended December 31,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2024 and 2023, and the subsequent interim period through March 18, 2025, there were no “reportable events,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and through March 18, 2025, neither we nor anyone on our behalf consulted with CBIZ CPAs regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or proposed or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to us that CBIZ CPAs concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or a “reportable event,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Pre-Approval Policy

Our Audit Committee has a pre-approval policy for the engagement of our independent registered public accounting firm to perform audit and non-audit services. Pursuant to this policy, which is designed to assure that such engagements do not impair the independence of our auditors, the Audit Committee pre-approves annually a catalog of specific audit and non-audit services in the categories of audit services, audit-related services and tax services, if any, that may be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. Unless the specific service has been previously pre-approved with respect to that year, the Audit Committee must approve the permitted service before the independent registered public accounting firm is engaged to perform it. The Audit Committee pre-approved all of the audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm to us during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPOINTMENT OF CBIZ CPAs P.C., AS OUR AUDITOR AND INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM UNTIL OUR NEXT ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS.

Compensation Program for Dr. Michael Myers

At the 2024 Annual Meeting, our shareholders approved a compensation program for our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, Dr. Michael Myers. The program sets forth the following compensation limitations applicable to Dr. Myers which the Compensation Committee and the Board can utilize in setting Dr. Myers’ compensation, beginning with the compensation to be paid in fiscal year 2024, without the need to obtain further shareholder approval:

(i)

an annual increase of base salary of up to 15% of Dr. Myers’ then-effective base salary;

(ii)

an annual cash bonus of up to 50% of Dr. Myers’ annual base salary during the fiscal year for which the annual cash bonus is paid (for example, Dr. Myers’ bonus to be paid in fiscal year 2025 for fiscal year 2024 services would be based upon a percentage, up to 50%, of Dr. Myers’ annual base salary in fiscal year 2024); and

(iii)

an annual equity grant in any form permitted under our equity incentive plan in effect from time to time with an annual value (determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes formula or another widely accepted and suitable formula for calculating the value of equity awards) of up to 500% of the maximum total fixed component (base salary and benefits) to which Dr. Myers is entitled in the grant year (together, the “CEO Compensation Program”).

In setting future compensation for Dr. Myers consistent with the terms of the CEO Compensation Program, the Compensation Committee and the Board will continue to annually review market competitive compensation as a reference, individual performance, the need to have appropriate incentives for our officers, and Dr. Myers’ experience and expected contributions.

Compensation Program for Denise Carter

Also at the 2024 Annual Meeting, our shareholders approved a compensation program for our Chief Operating Officer and a member of the Board, Denise Carter. The program sets forth the following

TABLE OF CONTENTS

compensation limitations applicable to Ms. Carter which the Compensation Committee and the Board can utilize in setting Ms. Carter’s compensation, beginning with the compensation to be paid in fiscal year 2024, without the need to obtain further shareholder approval:

(i)

an annual increase of base salary of up to 15% of Ms. Carter’s then-effective base salary;

(ii)

an annual cash bonus of up to 50% of Ms. Carter’s annual base salary during the fiscal year for which the annual cash bonus is paid (for example, Ms. Carter’s bonus to be paid in fiscal year 2025 for fiscal year 2024 services would be based upon a percentage, up to 50%, of Ms. Carter’s annual base salary in fiscal year 2024); and

(iii)

an annual equity grant in any form permitted under our equity incentive plan in effect from time to time with an annual value (determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes formula or another widely accepted and suitable formula for calculating the value of equity awards) of up to 500% of the maximum total fixed component (base salary and benefits) to which Ms. Carter is entitled in the grant year (together, the “COO Compensation Program”).

In setting future compensation for Ms. Carter consistent with the terms of the COO Compensation Program, the Compensation Committee and the Board will continue to annually review market competitive compensation as a reference, individual performance, the need to have appropriate incentives for our officers, and Ms. Carter’s experience and expected contributions.

Annual Cash Incentive Bonuses

We believe that performance-based cash bonuses assist us in motivating and retaining executive talent whose abilities and leadership skills are critical to our long-term success by aligning such officers’ efforts with our strategic and clinical goals through competitive annual incentive opportunities.

The annual performance-based cash bonuses for fiscal year 2025 for Dr. Myers and Ms. Carter were subject to a formulaic framework based on certain (i) clinical; (ii) regulatory; (iii) chemistry, manufacturing and controls; (iv) intellectual property; and (v) financial performance measures with weightings of 35%, 30%, 10%, 5% and 20%, respectively. There would be no annual performance-based cash bonus payout with respect to any category for which the Compensation Committee determined that we had not performed and/or did not successfully achieve the performance goal. We have not disclosed the specific performance goals/strategic measures because we believe this disclosure would reveal confidential strategic objectives and information that is not otherwise publicly disclosed by us and would result in competitive harm to us. The strategic measures were designed to be “stretch” goals that were achievable with what we believe represented an elevated level of effort and performance.

For fiscal year 2025, the Compensation Committee and the Board set award levels for each of Dr. Myers and Ms. Carter as percentages of their base salaries as shown in the following table:

Participant	Base Salary			Target (% of Base Salary)
Michael Myers		$	745,284		50%
Denise Carter		$	595,440		50%

In February 2026, the Compensation Committee and the Board certified the achievement of 100% of the performance goals and determined that the annual performance-based cash bonuses should be paid out at 100% of target based on our performance. Accordingly, based on the formula previously adopted, the Compensation Committee and the Board approved bonuses for each of Dr. Myers and Ms. Carter for fiscal year 2025 of $372,642 and $297,720, respectively.

Health and Welfare Benefits

Dr. Myers and Ms. Carter are eligible to participate in the same employee benefit plans, and on the same terms and conditions, as all other full-time, salaried U.S. employees. These benefits include medical, dental, and vision insurance, an employee assistance program, health and dependent care flexible spending

TABLE OF CONTENTS

accounts, basic life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, short-term and long-term disability insurance, and commuter benefits. As described above, the Company contributes a sum of €5,000 ($5,834, as converted applying the USD:EUR FX Rate at December 31, 2025) to Ms. Lawlor’s health insurance scheme.

At this time we have a tax-qualified, defined contribution plan as defined in Section 401(k) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and similar tax-qualified, defined contribution plans under the laws of other jurisdictions. The 401(k) Plan provides eligible employees, including our U.S.-based named executive officers, with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax-advantaged basis. Eligible employees are able to participate in the Section 401(k) Plan as of the first day of the month following the date they meet the plan’s eligibility requirements. Participants are able to defer up to 100% of their eligible compensation subject to applicable annual limits under the Code. All participants’ interests in their deferrals are 100% vested when contributed. Under the current terms of the 401(k) Plan, we match up to 100% of a participant’s first 1% of his or her eligible contributions to the 401(k) Plan, and we match up to 50% of the next 5% of his or her eligible contributions. The Company is currently seeking shareholder approval to increase the matching contribution payable pursuant to the Company’s 401(k) Plan as described in Proposal Four. If shareholders approve such proposal, such increased matching provisions will be applied to all participants in the 401(k) Plan, including the Company’s U.S.-based executive officers. Under the current terms of the non-U.S. Plans, we match up to 5% of participant’s eligible contributions to the non-U.S. Plans.

Equity Plans

Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan

At our Annual General Meeting held on April 12, 2022, our shareholders approved the 2022 Plan, which amended and restated our 2014 Global Incentive Option Scheme. The purpose of the 2022 Plan was

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to attract, retain and motivate our employees (including prospective employees), non-employee directors and consultants. As of August 21, 2025, no further awards may be issued under the 2022 Plan due to the adoption of the Company’s 2025 Plan (as defined below). At December 31, 2025, 200,627 ADSs remain subject to outstanding options under the 2022 Plan.

2025 Equity Incentive Plan

Our 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan”) was approved by our shareholders on August 21, 2025. The purpose of the 2025 Plan is to provide for the grant of equity-based incentive awards to our employees, directors, officers, consultants, advisers and service providers in order to incentivize them to increase their efforts on behalf of us and to promote the success of our business. The 2025 Plan provides for the grant of stock options (including incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options), restricted shares, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and other share-based awards. The 2025 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee.

Subject to certain adjustments, the maximum number of ordinary shares (or ADSs representing such ordinary shares) available for issuance under the 2025 Plan is 3,000,000 ordinary shares (85,714 ADSs), subject to an automatic annual increase the first day of each year beginning in 2026 and on January 1st of each calendar year thereafter and ending on January 1, 2035, by a number of ordinary shares equal to the smaller of (A) fifteen percent (15%) of the number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding of the Company on a fully diluted basis on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar year; and (B) such amount as determined by our Board if so determined.

All awards granted pursuant to the 2025 Plan will be evidenced by a grant notification letter, in a form approved, from time to time, by the Compensation Committee. The grant notification letter will set forth the terms and conditions of the award, including the type of award, number of shares subject to such award, vesting schedule and conditions (including performance goals or measures) and the exercise price, if applicable. The exercise period of an award will be determined by the Compensation Committee and stated in the grant notification letter but will in no event be longer than ten years from the date of the grant thereof. All awards must be granted on or before July 8, 2035, the tenth anniversary of the date that the 2025 Plan was approved by our Board. All awards under the 2025 Plan will be subject to recoupment by the Company to the extent required to comply with applicable law or any policy of the Company (subject to applicable law) providing for the reimbursement of incentive compensation, whether or not such policy was in place at the time of grant of an award. At December 31, 2025, 15,330 ADSs remained subject to outstanding options under the 2025 Plan.

Company Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Nonpublic Information

We do not have a formal policy on the timing of awards of options in relation to the disclosure of material nonpublic information by us. The Board and the Compensation Committee do not seek to time equity grants to take advantage of information, either positive or negative, about our company that has not been publicly disclosed. Option grants are effective on the date the award determination is made by the Board and/or the Compensation Committee, and the exercise price of options is the closing market price of our ADSs on the date of the grant or, if the grant is made on a weekend or holiday, on the prior business day.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Compensation Policy under the Companies Law

In general, under the 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, our compensation policy must be approved at least once every three years, first, by our board of directors, upon the recommendation of our compensation committee, and second, by a simple majority of the ordinary shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting (excluding abstentions) at a general meeting of shareholders, provided that either:

•

such majority includes at least a majority of the shares held by shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest in such compensation policy; or

•

the total number of shares of non-controlling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the compensation policy and who vote against the policy does not exceed two percent (2%) of the aggregate voting rights in the Company.

Under special circumstances, the board of directors may approve the compensation policy despite the objection of the shareholders on the condition that the compensation committee and then the board of directors decide, on the basis of detailed grounds and after discussing again the compensation policy, that approval of the compensation policy, despite the objection of shareholders, is for the benefit of the company. Our Board, following the recommendation of our Compensation Committee, approved adopting a new Compensation Policy for Executive Officer and Directors in 2025 (the “2025 Compensation Policy”) and our shareholders approved and adopted the 2025 Compensation Policy at our 2025 Annual Meeting. The compensation policy must be based on certain considerations, include certain provisions and reference certain matters as set forth in the Companies Law. The compensation policy must serve as the basis for decisions concerning the financial terms of employment or engagement of office holders, including exculpation, insurance, indemnification or any monetary payment or obligation of payment in respect of employment or engagement. The compensation policy must be determined and later reevaluated according to certain factors, including: the advancement of the company’s objectives, business plan and long-term strategy; the creation of appropriate incentives for office holders, while considering, among other things, the company’s risk management policy; the size and the nature of the company’s operations; and with respect to variable compensation, the contribution of the office holder towards the achievement of the company’s long-term goals and the maximization of its profits, all with a long-term objective and according to the position of the office holder. The compensation policy must furthermore consider the following additional factors:

•

the education, skills, experience, expertise and accomplishments of the relevant office holder;

•

the office holder’s position and responsibilities;

•

prior compensation agreements with the office holder;

•

if the terms of employment include variable components — the possibility of reducing variable components at the discretion of the board of directors and the possibility of setting a limit on the value of non-cash variable equity-based components; and

•

if the terms of employment include severance compensation — the term of employment or office of the office holder, the terms of the office holder’s compensation during such period, the company’s performance during such period, the office holder’s individual contribution to the achievement of the company goals and the maximization of its profits and the circumstances under which he or she is leaving the company.

The compensation policy must also include, among other things:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

with regards to variable components:

•

with the exception of office holders who report to the chief executive officer, a means of determining the variable components on the basis of long-term performance and measurable criteria; provided that the company may determine that an immaterial part of the variable components of the compensation package of an office holder shall be awarded based on non-measurable criteria, or if such amount is not higher than three months’ salary per annum, taking into account such office holder’s contribution to the company;

•

the ratio between variable and fixed components, as well as the limit of the values of variable components at the time of their payment, or in the case of equity-based compensation, at the time of grant;

•

a condition under which the office holder will return to the company, according to conditions to be set forth in the compensation policy, any amounts paid as part of the office holder’s terms of employment, if such amounts were paid based on information later to be discovered to be wrong, and such information was restated in the company’s financial statements;

•

the minimum holding or vesting period of variable equity-based components to be set in the terms of office or employment, as applicable, while taking into consideration long-term incentives; and

•

a limit to retirement grants.

Our compensation policy is designed to promote retention and motivation of directors and executive officers, incentivize superior individual excellence, align the interests of our directors and executive officers with our long-term performance and provide a risk management tool. To that end, a portion of our executive officer compensation package is targeted to reflect our short and long-term goals, as well as the executive officer’s individual performance. On the other hand, our compensation policy includes measures designed to reduce the executive officer’s incentives to take excessive risks that may harm us in the long-term, such as limits on the value of cash bonuses and equity-based compensation, limitations on the ratio between the variable and the total compensation of an executive officer and minimum vesting periods for equity-based compensation.

Our compensation policy also addresses our executive officers’ individual characteristics (such as their respective position, education, scope of responsibilities and contribution to the attainment of our goals) as the basis for compensation variation among our executive officers and considers the internal ratios between compensation of our executive officers and directors and other employees. Pursuant to our compensation policy, the compensation that may be granted to an executive officer may include: base salary, annual bonuses and other cash bonuses (such as a signing bonus and special bonuses with respect to significant events, such as a significant partnership, collaboration agreement or the generation of positive clinical trial results or regulatory approval of one of the Company’s products), equity-based compensation and termination of service grants.

An annual cash bonus may be awarded to executive officers upon the attainment of pre-set periodic objectives and individual targets. The annual cash bonus that may be granted to our executive officers is based primarily on measurable short- and long-term criteria. A non-material part of variable compensation for executive officers may be based on qualitative or non-measurable criteria which focus on the executive officer’s contribution to the Company, subject to a maximum amount linked to the executive officer’s base salary.

The equity-based compensation under our compensation policy for our 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 our long-term interests and those of our shareholders and to strengthen the retention and the motivation of executive officers in the long term. Our compensation policy provides for equity compensation in any form permitted under our equity incentive plan then in place. The equity-based compensation shall be granted from time to time and be individually determined and awarded according to the performance, educational background, prior business experience, qualifications, role and the personal responsibilities of the executive officer.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition, our compensation policy contains compensation recovery provisions which allow us under certain conditions to recover bonuses paid in excess, enables our chief executive officer to approve an immaterial change in the terms of employment of an executive officer (excluding the chief executive officer) in an amount up to two monthly base salaries, and allow us to exculpate, indemnify and insure our executive officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by Israeli law subject to certain limitations set forth therein.

Our compensation policy also provides for compensation to the members of our board of directors in accordance with market compensation trends, provided however that in the case of an external director, such compensation will be paid in accordance with the amounts provided in the Companies Regulations (Rules Regarding the Compensation and Expenses of an External Director) of 2000, as amended by the Companies Regulations (Relief for Public Companies Traded in Stock Exchange Outside of Israel) of 2000, as such regulations may be amended from time to time.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Due to the limited funding of Quoin Inc. prior to the consummation of the business combination involving Quoin Ltd. and Quoin Inc., in which Quoin Inc. survived as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Quoin Ltd. (the “Merger”), the compensation, including salary, office and car allowances and other benefits due to Dr. Myers and Ms. Carter under their respective employment agreements, as well as reimbursement of expenses and other amounts paid by Dr. Myers and Ms. Carter to third parties on behalf of Quoin Inc., were not paid by Quoin Inc. to Dr. Myers and Ms. Carter, and were accrued as indebtedness to Dr. Myers and Ms. Carter. Following the closing of the Merger, Quoin Inc. began making payments of $25,000 per month to each of Dr. Myers and Ms. Carter to repay the above-described non-interest-bearing indebtedness. We repaid $300,000 and $300,000 of such indebtedness to Dr. Myers, and $300,000 and $300,000 to Ms. Carter, during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, approximately $1,359,000 and $965,000 of such indebtedness was outstanding to Dr. Myers and Ms. Carter, respectively.

On October 2, 2020, Quoin Inc. issued promissory notes (the “2020 Notes”) to five noteholders, including our directors, Messrs. Langer and Culverwell (collectively, “2020 Noteholders”). The 2020 Notes were mandatorily convertible into 12 ADSs, subject to adjustment and were converted in 2021. The ADSs issued to the 2020 Noteholders did not include accrued interest. Two of the five 2020 Noteholders received their amount due during the year ended December 31, 2022 and our estimate of the liability to the remaining three 2020 Noteholders (including Messrs. Langer and Culverwell) was estimated to be $1,146,000 as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

On December 23, 2024, we completed an offering (the “December 2024 Offering”) of the following securities (i) 3,137,778 ordinary shares represented by 89,651 ADSs, (ii) Series F warrants (the “Series F Warrants”) to purchase 15,111,110 ordinary shares represented by 431,746 ADSs, (iii) Series G warrants (the “Series G Warrants” and together with the Series F Warrants, the “December 2024 Warrants”) to purchase 15,111,110 ordinary shares represented by 431,746 ADSs, and (iv) pre-funded warrants (the “December 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase 11,973,332 Ordinary Shares represented by 342,095 ADSs for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $6.8 million, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $5.8 million, after deducting the placement agent’s fees and offering expenses paid by the Company. Each ADS (or December 2024 Pre-Funded Warrant to purchase one ADS in lieu thereof) was sold together with a Series F Warrant to purchase one ADS and a Series G Warrant to purchase one ADS. Dr. Myers, Ms. Carter, Mr. Dunn and Mr. Culverwell purchased an aggregate of 1,333,333 of ordinary shares represented by 38,095 ADSs and accompanying Series F Warrants and Series G Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,666,666 ordinary shares represented by 76,190 ADSs, for a total purchase price of approximately $600,000, at the public offering price and on the same terms as the other purchasers in the December 2024 Offering.

On October 14, 2025, we completed a private placement transaction with several institutional and accredited investors relating to the issuance and sale in a private placement transaction (the “October 2025 Private Placement”) of (i) 530,320 ordinary shares represented by 15,152 ADSs and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase 69,787,865 ordinary shares represented by 1,993,939 ADSs, together with (A) Series H Warrants to purchase 70,318,185 ordinary shares represented by up to 2,009,091 ADSs (“Series H Warrants”), (B) Series I Warrants to purchase 70,318,185 ordinary shares represented by up to 2,009,091 ADSs (“Series I Warrants”), (C) Series J Warrants to purchase 70,318,185 ordinary shares represented by up to 2,009,091 ADSs (“Series J Warrants”), and (D) Series K Warrants to purchase 70,318,185 ordinary shares represented by up to 2,009,091 ADSs (“Series K Warrants” and, together with the Series H Warrants, Series I Warrants, and Series J Warrants, the “October 2025 Ordinary Warrants”). Dennis Langer, one of our directors, participated in the October 2025 Private Placement, purchasing ordinary shares represented by 15,152 ADSs and accompanying October 2025 Ordinary Warrants for a total purchase price of approximately $128,641, at a combined purchase price of $8.49 per ADS and accompanying October 2025 Ordinary Warrants. In accordance with Nasdaq Rules, Mr. Langer’s purchase price was based upon the consolidated closing bid price from the trading day immediately preceding the date we entered into the 2025 Purchase Agreements, plus $0.50.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for annual meeting materials with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single set of annual meeting materials addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for companies.

This year, a number of brokers with account holders who are shareholders will be “householding” our proxy materials. A single set of annual meeting materials will be delivered to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate set of annual meeting materials, please notify us and such materials will be promptly delivered to you. Direct your written request to Quoin Pharmaceuticals Ltd., 42127 Pleasant Forest Ct., Ashburn, VA 20148, Attn: Corporate Secretary. Shareholders who currently receive multiple copies of the Annual Meeting materials at their addresses and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact their brokers.
